    It's expensive now, I expect once it is with inference providers it will be really dirt cheap. Then it would be truly be a "bicycle for the mind", which Fable promised to be except…

    I think we're saying the same thing? I said they are explicitly trained on these tasks, not that they are some separate models during programming RL, or business tasks RL. > The co…

    Have you looked at the what data companies (e.g. Scale, Mercor) hire for? Why do you think Meta records their employees every keystroke/mousestroke/eye-movement? EDIT: just re-read…

    Having looked at his code, I doubt this.

    Who is their right minds would be wedded to an identity of saying "No"? Code quality puritans are annoying but if they do their job right they actually speed-up the development pro…

    Fair enough. I agree with you - although DS4 Pro is a GPT 5 class model which scores 46% on ARC-AGI-2[^1]. It's behind by maybe 9 months, I think it's still good enough for a lot o…

    Did you read the OP when he's exactly chiding the model you're glazing?

    This Claude front end skill is now soon to be slop.

    People doing economics with the cloud GPUs, of course cloud GPUs are going cheaper. But also, is generating tokens all you do with your computer? I can play games on DGX spark and …

    Local models embody the hacker spirit, constant Claude glazing is spiritually incompatible with tinkering. Don't upload your spirit to the cloud.

    No I mean more expensive, i.e. you're consuming vastly more tokens.

    Comment #47900256

    The cost being reduced is the cost of your labour. Tokens are only getting more expensive.

    Sounds exhausting. Are your revenue numbers up?

    Don’t underestimate the march of technology. Just look at your phone, it has more FLOPS than there were in the entire world 40 years ago.

    Thank you, there are two things I would like to point out: 1) Google releasing something probably means they don't see it as important. 4-bit KV-cache quantization has been known f…

    Comment #47564911

    There are techniques which already achieve great compression of the cache at 4 bit, eg using hadamard transforms. Going from 4 bit to 3 bit isn’t the great leap people expect this …

    Working in open source, I've now heard a wide variety of disabilities that people have and they have to be aided by an LLM for writing even descriptions of their PRs.

    You can still run larger MoE models using expert weight off-loading to the CPU for token generation. They are by and large useable, I get ~50 toks/second on a kimi linear 48B (3B a…

    I was referring to the 35B version. It is surprisingly good for its size. You can use it for implementation tasks without it going off the rails

    Damn I’m jealous that they figured out how to pay their contributors. I’ve been toiling away for free
