    They mention in the announcement link https://thinkingmachines.ai/news/introducing-inkling/ that they are still testing Inkling-Small and it will also still be multimodal. This mak…

    There's also an Inkling-Small that is 276B, 12B active that is much smaller than GLM 5.2 and still multimodal. Not released yet, but in the announcement link they mention that they…

    Article from semianalysis that goes into the history of CXMT & over a decade long investment (including government support) to become a 4th player in the DRAM market. Useful to und…

    Unreal will definitely get better results out of the box, but it's also possible to do photorealism with significantly less overhead (particularly UE shader compilation overhead) -…

    Agree that the choices are strange. Sonnet 4.6 was tested, but no Opus 4.6. Gemini 3.1 and GLM 5 came out around the same time as Sonnet 4.6 (~Feb 2026) so it's strange that they a…

    I think the reason we're not seeing many examples yet is that the full loop doesn't work completely autonomously yet. There's still a human in the loop at some critical points - sp…

    There’s some early work being done here by companies looking at making LLM ASICS like Taalas (HC1 gets 17k t/s for llama 8b - currently at 2.5kW which is closer to a single server,…

    I'm going to be honest - this is over a year late. I still use ChatGPT on Mac because it actually had a Mac App from May of 2024, whereas I had to go to the Gemini website to use G…

    This looks pretty interesting! I haven't used it yet, but looked through the code a bit, it looks like it uses turndown to convert the html to markdown first, then it passes that t…

    Ask HN: How do you prevent AI generated GitHub issues?

    Hey HN, I wanted to know if there are tools that will block or automatically close AI generated issues in my public github repos. Github seems to want to do nothing about this & I'…

    Amazon checkout is not working for me right now. There's no Amazon specific status page it seems? AWS has information about their UAE data centers, but haven't seen any confirmatio…

    Thanks for clarifying! I guess the default for most users is going to be to use the router / auto switcher which is fine since most people won't change the default. Just noting tha…

    So is this a minimal upgrade before the M6 Macbook Pros w/ OLED & a redesign later this year? It doesn't even look like they added cellular as an option with their own C1X chip (ge…

    I'm a bit confused by this branding (never even noticed that there was a 5.2-Instant), it's not a super fast 1000tok/s Cerebras based model which they have for codex-spark, it's ju…

    This seems like it’s in response to the congressional testimony last week to clarify some things about their remote assistance systems. It’s interesting that they only have 70 peop…

    WASM shouldn't be an issue since the draco decoder uses it - but it may only work with V8 (for quickjs builds it wouldn't work, but the default builds use V8+dawn). Obviously with …

    So in theory it should be possible, but it might require customizing the Dawn or wgpu-native builds if they don't support it (this is providing the JS bindings / wrapper around tho…

    AssemblyScript was just mentioned as some prior work, I don't think that AssemblyScript would work as is for games. I realize the major issues with TS->C++ though (or any language …

    Phaser is not supported right now because phaser is still using a WebGL renderer from my understanding (maybe in a v2.0.0 adding ANGLE + WebGL support is an option, but debating if…
