This seems pretty useful for AI inference if it can pass Apple approval. I've wanted to use my Nvidia GPUs with a Mac Mini, this would enable it to run CUDA directly. Very cool!

What would be an example of a positive signal?

In fact it is appreciated that Qwen is comparing to a peer. I myself and several eng I know are trying GLM. It's legit. Definitely not the same as Codex or Opus, but cheaper and "g…

AI is much better at front-end than me, it has really enabled me to build visual apps as a normally backend/ML guy.

A bit more context would be helpful, as someone happy to donate -- what is the current situation, why the urgency? Just some more info would be good.

Hmm you might be able to tweak the settings further. Under llama.cpp on one RTX 6000 Pro I get ~215 tok/s generation speed. The key for me was setting min_p greater than 0. My sett…

I have not delved into the theory yet but it seems that the smaller open-source models do this already to an extent. They have less parameters, but spend much more time/tokens reas…

20 years is quite an optimistic timeline. Of course, we will use agents to solve the problems of agents!

I gave it a whirl but was unenthused. I'll try it again, but so far have not really enjoyed any of the nvidia models, though they are best in class for execution speed.

Are there plans to release a QAT model? Similar to what was done for Gemma 3. That would be nice to see!

120B would be great to have if you have it stashed away somewhere. GPT-OSS-120B still stands as one of the best (and fastest) open-weights models out there. A direct competitor in …

The good news is local models have significantly improved. If it all goes down today, you can still run e.g. Qwen 3.5 at home, and it's "good enough" for most workloads. With a gam…

We all probably need to touch grass a bit. Our industry is really out of touch with reality right now, although the looming impact of AI is probably quite real.

Thanks! Super interested in LLMs for translation :D glad to see you folks doing this work.

It does? There is a fast drop followed by a long decay, exponential in fact. The cooling rate is proportional to the temperature difference, so the drop is sharpest at the very beg…

Is there interest in benchmarking the proprietary LLMs for translation? Curious as I often use Gemini 3 Flash, but I have no idea how good it is for my language family. I prefer op…

Even working in "tech" but not FAANG this is so true, 10 days is still the norm at many white collar businesses for your first year of employment, sometimes 15 days if they're gene…

The tradeoff with many EU countries would be that they enjoy their leisure time a lot more and sooner than Americans. Americans make more and save more statistically, but they spen…

As someone studying Polish, and making excellent progress, I mostly agree with your take. If you want to explore other languages, something like Spanish will get you much more mile…

To chime in about where I'm at -- one problem was solved with a statistical classifier, but to bootstrap another, I ended up using keywords. It took a few hours to get a reasonable…

To some degree manual labeling has to be done anyway, just to validate that any approach works at all, you'll always need ground truth from somewhere. What I suggested is that zero…

oh this seems like an interesting idea, what tactics do you use for augmentation? For my own use-case, I think I could reorder semantic chunks, or maybe randomly delete pieces, but…

The outputs are working correctly in terms of formatting, but the answers themselves may be inconsistent. I have experimented with varying the prompt and the answers can change dra…

I can confirm that Distillbert has worked well when I have used it for classification, especially on shortish sequences. I'm really interested in trying out ModernBert, or a smalle…
