    This was never an issue. Space-based data centers in SSO will connect to the internet via Starlink's laser network. SSO data centers were never meant for low-latency applications. …

    Maybe, but in the official verdict they didn't take into account all affected children either; they only used an estimated 37,500 affected teen users to calculate the fine. Meta wa…

    This analysis actually understates how massive and outsized the penalties are. The court ruling only applies to children in New Mexico under age 18. New Mexico has ~450,000 people …

    Public models are months behind what the labs have internally, and I believe OAI's upcoming model is so advanced they consider it AGI. OAI is not going to announce anything until t…

    Per the court ruling [0], the specific law that Meta violated was New Mexico’s public-nuisance law, NMSA 1978 § 30-8-1. The relevant section that was violated is [1]: A public nuis…

    Meta is offering a 10x discount on input ($0.10 vs. $1.25/Mtok) and 20x discount on output ($0.20 vs. $4.25/Mtok) if you opt in to let them train on your data. https://developer.me…

    Anthropic is profitable, running at ~$75B ARR, and has 80+% gross margin on their API products. OpenAI is not yet profitable, but is running at ~40B ARR and their revenue is growin…

    I used to think that export controls didn't work, until I realized that China has leapfrogged the West on every technology that wasn't subject to export controls.

    Anthropic removed raw CoT from all models since Sonnet 3.7 (released February 2025), all Opus 4.X models have censored CoT, yet Chinese labs continue to distill from them, proving …

    Meta, Microsoft, Amazon also serve their own models, though these models are not frontier models.

    Encrypted reasoning traces don't prevent distillation. You only need the input prompts and final output responses to distill capabilities. As Anthropic explained in their distillat…

    It's based on Anthropic's press release where they reveal distillation of their models by Chinese labs: https://www.anthropic.com/news/detecting-and-preventing-dist... Moonshot AI …

    Fable was launched on June 9 (for 72 hours), then K3 launched on July 16. Timeline wise, Moonshot had over a month to post-train K3 on Fable distilled data, which is more than enou…

    Your theory doesn't hold up against the data. While model identifiers like "claude-opus-4-5-20251101" appear thousands of times across GitHub and other code sources, so do "gpt-4o-…
