Good points. Though GPT 5.5 Instant does beat out 5.6 Luna non-thinking 34 to 27 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.[1][2] This could mean it is optimised for non-reasoning …

If Luna is so good and cheap, I'm wondering why ChatGPT Free users still only have access to GPT 5.5 Instant. The API pricing for chat-latest is the same as Sol(!),[1] while Luna i…

Surely it was meant to be "Gwen" (the protagonist's cousin and the other main character in the show). I guess it was somehow (incorrectly) assumed to be a misspelling of Qwen and i…

My disdain is for the fact that hundreds of millions of Indians cannot access higher education in their native language, and instead of simply learning a foreign language as a subj…

You should take that up with the IMO then, or all of European Union. They provide services in ~two dozen languages.

It is not "supremacist" to believe that depriving hundreds of millions of people from higher education in their native language is deeply unjust. This reflection was prompted by a …

Yes, and there's also languages of ex-USSR countries, whose competitors presumably all understand Russian, and so on. The real reason might be that there's an enormous class of sel…

And of course it's available even in Icelandic, spoken by ~300k people, but not a single Indian language, spoken by hundreds of millions. भारत दुर्दशा न देखी जाई...

Seems like all the p(doom) is coming from Elon himself, and not the AI. An "empowered" but unintelligent "stochastic parrot", which seems to be his view of LLMs, is more likely to …

The original Vending-Bench paper from Andon Labs might be of interest: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.15840

The blog itself reads as if it was written by an LLM. (e.g. "This isn't about X, it's about Y." "... is timely ..." "X isn't Y".) Weird. And it has been discussed to death already:…

I see, I wasn't aware of that. The earliest attempt I knew of was from May 2024,[1] while this gpt-4-vision attempt is from November 2023. I guess Claude Plays Pokemon was the firs…

Claude Plays Pokemon was the original concept and inspiration behind "Gemini Plays Pokemon". Gemini arguably only did better because it had access to a much better agent harness an…

The naming scheme used to be "Claude [number] [size]", but now it is "Claude [size] [number]". The new models should have been named Claude 4 Opus and Claude 4 Sonnet, but they cha…

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for this!

The "first MP3", without the background music, and just the voice, sounds a lot better to me than the original I listened to on YouTube. I liked the MP3 more. Any way for me to fin…

I had the same impression, but apparently not. > Many data centers rely on evaporative cooling, or “swamp cooling,” where warm air is drawn through wet pads. Data centers typically…

I've also noticed this. Google Search is vastly superior to any LLM (including their own LLM Gemini) for any "tip of my tongue" questions, even the ones that don't contain any exac…
