    You’re right, but this poses a separate issue as the providers then do FP4 PTQ, which is quite lossy. Reduces the model size and optimizes for Blackwells at the (imo severe) cost o…

    While cool, quantization to FP4 is practically never lossless in actual use. A lot of providers are advertising high TPS on Kimi and GLM, but the models are functionally lobotomize…

    Also to add- the one service that was fast enough on the LLM side was Cerebras. The time to first token (ttft) is incredibly fast (200-300ms) and the t/s is 2000t/s for 8B- combine…

    Thanks friend! Great to hear- let us know how we can help in any way :)

    This is definitely a good idea! I think the hard part is making it contextual and relevant to the last question/response, in which case the LLM comes into the equation again. Somet…

    Totally- as programmers we're so used to communicating via text and meeting computers where they are- it's easy for us. However, we're the minority in the world! I think most peopl…

    This is good feedback. We have a base subscription fee to cover ongoing costs of maintaining the models/replicas you create and other elements, otherwise it's all on-demand.

    Apologies about the seduction- I promise I'm not like that in real life.. Re: pronunciation, this is something we're working on improving!

    We might need to do a better job of explaining this- but this is true. You retain ownership of your data and we don't sell or use it (other than to train your specific clone that y…

    You can already do this via the API! We let you peel back the layers and use your own LLM/logic, as well as other pieces of the pipeline (which we need to update the docs for)

    This is a valid concern, but we’ve always been very serious about consent and privacy. Our models cannot be used without explicit verbal/visual consent and you hold the keys to you…
