It would still be the best model per dollar if the score was 2% lower instead of 0.1% lower. Would it be ok to still give it the highlight color then? How big of a lie is too big? …

I didn’t grow up with that hobby. The point stands anyway. Cracking a binary circumvents authorization to provide full access to functionality the program already has. That’s very …

I like how they highlighted Opus 5 as the best for “Agentic Coding” even though the number is slightly lower than Fable. Close enough for marketing, I guess!

Equating an open weight model to a closed source binary is ludicrous. An open weight model can be fine tuned, for example. How easy is it to modify a closed source binary for your …

“Striped office floors. Flickering lights. Walls covered in repetitive geometric patterns.” Not sentences. AI slop.

Inference providers, sure, but wouldn't we expect customers to win also?

You’re absolutely correct. A jitter buffer is necessary for a human listener, but a LLM isn’t aware of a time lapse, just like it isn’t aware of the time since your last message in…
