MIPS is increasingly common in rock helmets. Black Diamond (anecdotally the most common brand I see in the US) now has it in their higher end models, and Mammut as well.

You do not need perfect pitch to quickly learn fiddle tunes by ear (source: I play fiddle, can quickly learn by ear, do not have perfect pitch). You learn tunes primarily by relati…

It's 5B active params in MoE, not 5B total params (total is 137B).

Or if you’re a newish startup who they hope will eventually spend enough to justify it.
