Moonshot (Kimi) has raised $3.77B and been around for >3 years, Thinking Machines raising $2B and releasing a decent open weights model in 16 months is actually quite comparable.

Do you feel the same way about Guowang and Qianfan, two very real very large constellations notably not funded by US billionaires?

The gas generators powering the datacenter rented by both Google and Anthropic? Where is the moral stance against Gemini and Claude?

Migrated all of my pins to Organic Maps from Maps.me when it started to aggressively monetize. Smooth process. Been a happy user for years!

Neat, implementing this would be a great marketing move for Google/OpenAI/Amazon/MS. Relatively cheap way to win a lot of goodwill from the millions of people who don't know much a…

I find golf courses to be a more effective framing. Even if the alfalfa is consumed by animals, it's still a part of the food supply chain and gives people the easy response, "yeah…

Objectively it’s absurd to have an organization take a significant portion of your money on threat of imprisonment just to invest it in a corporation

Meta has tons of that, but no frontier contender. Clearly there’s _something_ more to the equation than money

Amazon is thought to own 15-20% of Anthropic which as a company has a valuation of>$1T. Amazon’s stake is probably closer to $200B

Appreciate the long answer. Why is it more likely that Gemini 3 Pro/Flash/Lite are distillations of the same parent model than that they’re different training runs on the same data…
