    Excited to put this through its paces. It seems most directly comparable to GPT-OSS-20B. Comparing their numbers on the Together API: Trinity Mini is slightly less expensive ($0.04…

    Why would that undermine its integrity? AFAICT there are a selection of "open" US-based LLMs to choose from: Google's Gemma, Microsoft's Phi, Meta's LLAMA, and OpenAI's GPT-OSS. Wi…

    I find the existence of opennext convincing proof of lock-in: https://blog.logrocket.com/opennext-next-js-portability/ Personally, I don’t bother with nextjs at all.

    But to determine its merit a maintainer must first donate their time and read through the PR. LLMs reduce the effort to create a plausible PR down to virtually zero. Requiring a hu…

    AFAICT, kimi k2 was the first to apply this technique [1]. I wonder if Anthropic came up with it independently or if they trained a model in 5 months after seeing kimi’s performanc…

    I never claimed that it was being done in secrecy. Here is another example: https://groq.com/blog/inside-the-lpu-deconstructing-groq-spe... . I have seen multiple people mention op…

    There are well documented cases of performance degradation: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/a-postmortem-of-three-... . The real issue is that there is no reliable system cur…
