    This is what I've been waiting for. We are still using fine-tuned deployments of Qwen3.6-27B with a lot of success but could use a bump in intelligence. Here's hoping.

    I asked an adjacent question to a broker friend who flatly replied: "Not interested in being served a Wells Notice." Which more or less answered the question for me, even if he was…

    Gets a 100% on Pangram. Stuff is so distracting. Write your own posts, FFS. Or at least pass it through "humanizer" type plugins.

    Handing over email metadata, or whatever your interrogator wants from you, will only cause them to shift the goalposts, or find something they want to find in the metadata even if …

    All of us "olds" had this as a hobby. Or used it regularly. Just a bunch of weird stuff in this article.

    No doubt. Especially for GPU inference at scale. We overclock/overvolt for training and tune way down for inference.

    Self-racking lets you rack a bunch of gear you'd never find in VM/dedicated rentals, like consumer parts or older, still very good parts. Overclocking options are available as well…

    Their compaction endpoint is far and away the best in the industry. Claude's has to be dead last.

    I've found this mostly to be the case when using lightweight open source models or mini models. Rarely is this an issue with SOTA models like Sonnet-4.5, Opus-4.1, GPT-5-Thinking o…
