Real test here would be using tinker to fine tune a tinker model to generate pelicans

This is a winner IMO. Lots of cost pressure on token spend atm within enterprises and tasks that don't require Opus / Codex class models. These companies have hopefully captured al…

It's becoming apparent that it requires more tokens to secure code than it does to write it May even be an order of magnitude more

there are 150M+ of them and you'll be taking out a lot of human users with it modern blocking is behaviour / heuristic based
