More like second-to-last on most of them, to my eye. Which is impressive as it's smaller and cheaper than the others.

Haha oops, you're right :)

It's a high quality benchmark for sure, but it being public means it's at risk of leaking into the models (unintentionally or not), right? For that reason I prefer to look at the p…

the obvious solution is to not use the words that have an obscure word as anagram. I failed on 'target' because I went for 'regatta'.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

I'm a housekeeper skeptic. While I concede that a professional housekeeper would probably do a better job than me on most domestic tasks, I still think everyone should clean their …

Probably this: [1] 80k * $7/month * 12 months/year = $6.7M/year [1] https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/19/ed-zitron...

No, that's not the reason they claim. From the paper: > WFH has been shown to raise the cost of supervising and monitoring workers, and can slow on-the-job learning

I would think that's true for all the models on OR. The data is skewed for sure, but it's interesting none the less.

Also, while we're pitching new features to openrouter, I'd like to see a "$ spent" chart, which would remove all these huge freebie spikes. It looks like it would be pretty much do…

Of all the incompleteness-style theorems, I find the Halting problem to be the most approachable and also the most interesting. Maybe it's because I'm a software dev that dabbles i…

Blog post: https://stability.ai/news-updates/meet-stable-audio-3-the-mo... A bit bizarre that there's not a single audio example in that post. But the model is available on their g…

You could say they have a sort of anti-moat (drawbridge?) since you can use their product to create a competitor. But that's true of most dev tools, in a sense.

A polar low earth orbit can be always-on (no earth shadow). Each satellite will be in thermal equilibrium, around 10°C. Catastrophic destruction from micrometeoroids is rare. I'm n…

I don't follow your logic. I mentioned starlink as an example of transistors (and solar panels) in space dealing with radiation.

How hot do you think black objects in space get? Something like 10°C. Look up thermal equilibrium of an ideal black body.

The joint solar panel + computer system will be pretty close to an ideal black body, which near earth will have an average temperature of about 10°C. And radiation is an issue, but…

I dunno if it's that clear cut. In space with a shadowless orbit you get 5x more solar energy per day than the sunniest place on earth. And it's always on, so you don't need batter…

Most of the time, a hundred feet is enough. 30 years ago, if you needed an aerial photo shot, you needed a helicopter pilot. Today, you just don't.

If you prefer staying in denial, be my guest. But I've seen multiple instances of fully functioning software created by people who don't even know what code is. Maybe these creator…

There are definitely automated dev systems, of which an LLM is a part. The remaining part may be called a 'harness' or whatever. The quality of the generated software is another ma…

Why would anyone want to go back? It seems likely that the automated dev systems will just keep improving and get faster, cheaper, stronger.
