    M4's GPU does not support 64 float. So, yeah. No hardware support, so what are you expecting? The fact that it comes close is pretty impressive.

    I mean... who has control over OpenAI's web page? No self-respecting PR firm would do something like this. And Counsel must be hopping mad.

    Please don't assume the entire AI industry behaves like OpenAI

    Why do think they would want to be vindictive? The point is to prevent leaks, leaving lapses is exactly counter to that goal.

    No, we do this kind of thing regularly. Optimizations often depend on the model that is using them. Namely, fusion techniques.

    Indeed. Compilers do have to make compromises, and it is not possible from code alone to understand the tradeoffs.

    This SV mentality that technology can solve all problems is rather tiring, really.

    Yeah, a corner case (streaming) and good developers working very hard. The original SSE (SIMD) extensions were actually written with this use case in mind. When they first came out…

    Except for some odd corner cases, it is very hard for a good engineer to beat compilers these days (they are very good now). Not to mention, tuning depends on the platform, and oft…

    I'm... confused. Don't we use macro assemblers anymore?

    Seriously? We already know how to solve all of these issues. What we lack is collective political will.

    Cursor achieved fast adoption by making it simple to move from Visual Studio code. Double-edged sword. It is also simple to move back to VS code and agent extensions.
