Thanks Bonsai team. Now open weight LLMs/VLMs/LMMs are becoming even larger to the extent that consumer-grade hardware are no longer able to run these models. In contrast, quantiza…

Other details for the official (Yang Youlin) in this news. --- Whistleblower Yang Hai already reported Yang Youlin for his economic misconduct in July 2008. The whistleblower was d…

The criminal complaint missing in this article: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndil/media/1450651/dl Basically, Microsoft logs things from windows users, including and not limiting t…

Yeah, searxng instance reliability problem goes deeper than simple uptime. The google response time function on public instance page [1], a good measure of the search engine availa…

I've been using searxng for several years now. I don't run my own instances because the inhumane network censorship imposed by GFW, and proxy detection enforced by search engines. …

Android developer verification program, together with recent reCAPTCHA push [1], and Manifest v2 force depreciation on chrome [2], make one thing crystal clear. When companies like…

Glad to see more open models. However, where are the 31b models?

I've been using FUTO voice input for several month. It's not perfect as I have to manually do the correction like always. However, it definitely saves me some time and effort. It a…

We paid for your things, AMD. If you want to strip some features from things we bought after the purchasing, you must ask me and every other customers for consents explicitly, with…

To people who silently downvoted this: please explain why you did that, you're doing things like AMD.

The github issue that never made it in this news: https://github.com/AMDESE/AMDSEV/issues/292 Silent enshittification in the name of updates is getting out of hand. There are sever…

Seems like the affected version of chrome is 150 and 151, and the timewindow is near. Because of ungoogled-chromium, I'm used to manually update the browser. This time I won't upda…

Please do not claim you trained a new model, only to got caught red-handed by others. There are already several people or groups did that, got caught, and vanished in no time. Chec…

I don't know how open source AI wins. The description is too vague for serious discussions. What I do know is that, once closed source AI groups become anti-you, you should punish …

Hilarious read. I laugh out loud multiple times during the read. In the end, I think amd should pay the author simply for the will of debugging for a broken software written by amd…

Thanks gemma team for this release. Compared to autoregressive decoding, diffusion is huge for local MoE inference because of the improved token generation efficiency, especially f…

More rants about local inference, consider yourself warned. Together with bf16 related deliberate hardward degrades on consumer-level nvidia gpus, i.e., gtx 10, rtx 20, 30, 40, 50 …

From the perspective of a local llm user, I think the qat doesn't solve the major problem of the gemma models. Gemma family (gen 1 to gen 4) is consistent with extreme range of act…

A small dense multimodal model with audio support, interesting. Wait, *Excluding Chinese language. This is ... curious. P.S. Where is gemma 4 124b?

This website brings me some good chuckles. Now I really know how powerful an on-demand bullsh*t generator is.

Like the recent copilot silent signing incident, the without consent part is blatant foul move. If you don't like be treated like anything but human, you should seriously consider …

Yeah, this is part of the reason why vscodium exists.

Wow. Just like using ungoogled-chromium instead of chrome, lineage os instead of oem android, using vscodium instead of vscode is again justified. These decisions really are the on…

One thing that makes me wonder is that there are 4 security issues raised and all of them were automatically commented and closed by some bot called `pl-ghost` [1][2][3][4]. In the…

Although the performance claim of 8b dense matching 32b moe is somewhat questionable, thank you granite team for releasing small dense LLMs.
