So... why didn't the model ship this way to begin with? They just wanted to waste VRAM for fun?

I've had this debate before on HN. The excuses are generally "well it can write better code than most developers, but an LLM can't write better prose than most people" (I strongly …

Well of course they're higher than marginal cost. But these providers have to also generate a fat return on investment.

> the interpreter that acts on those is a piece of classical code, and sits outside of the model. Correct, but it's an LLM that's reasoning about what stream of interpretable token…

What does that matter? They were sued and the group suing them accepted at $1.5B settlement instead of something theoretically much larger and precedent-setting.

You could also ask why the other side agreed to that settlement. It's not a one-way street.

Maybe not, but I think the concerns are a bit overblown. Just like the other poster, I've had CDs and DVDs that lived for over 10 years in an attic and a fair number of them are 25…
