This is fantastic work, really impressive is an understatement. I really hope this sets a new DeepSeek-esque standard and starts another the death knell for companies continuing to…

I miss Google Text ads. I supported AdBlock Plus's decision to exclude them from default filtering. Man, what happened?

I did see the ads on the free side a week ago. I guess I was a victim of A/B testing but I was too lazy to login for a simple prompt.

People with visual impairments and other functional limitations don't deserve nice things apparently, like dignity online.

One wonders if this might be a net positive for the world if Anthropic is forced to terminate it's non-US citizen employees. I would hope they return to their home countries with t…

Which coding plan are you using? How are you finding it?

Please correct me if you have contradicting data but: Neuralwatt's price per token vs price for energy comparison doesn't seem to take into account the cost savings from cache hits…

I've found MiMo-2.5 is fun for front-end design since you can use its multimodal capabilities to drop in whatever it produced and correct it for you.

Sadly not all of them, much to my ill discovery! They are fun souvenirs and I encourage everyone to collect them if they want a free momento (ideally bring your own stamp pad).
