General overview below, as the pages don't seem to be working well Llama 4 Models: - Both Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick use a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) design with 17B active parameters each. - They are natively multimodal: text + image input, text-only output. - Key achievements include industry-leading context lengths, strong coding/reasoning performance, and improved multilingual capabilities. - Knowledge cuto…
Llama 4 Scout, Maximum context length: 10M tokens. This is a nice development.

My pet peeve is when an LLM starts off a statement with "honestly, ..." Like what? You would lie to me? I go nuts when I see that. Year ago I caught myself using "honestly ...", and I immediately trained myself out of it once I realized what it implies.
I've noticed "honestly" is often used in place of "frankly". As in someone wants to express something frankly without prior restraint to appease the sensibilities of the recipient(s). I think it's because a lot of people never really learned the definition of frankness or think "frankly..." sounds a bit old fashioned. But I'm no language expert.

#123"It’s well-known that all leading LLMs have had issues with bias—specifically, they historically have leaned left when it comes to debated political and social topics. This is due to the types of training data available on the internet." Perhaps. Or, maybe, "leaning left" by the standards of Zuck et al. is more in alignment with the global population. It's a simpler explanation.
Or it is more logically and ethically consistent and thus preferable to the models' baked in preferences for correctness and nonhypocrisy. (democracy and equality are good for everyone everywhere except when you're at work in which case you will beg to be treated like a feudal serf or else die on the street without shelter or healthcare, doubly so if you're a woman or a racial minority, and that's how the world shoul…

#126As expected, Meta doesn't disappoint and accelerates the race to zero. Meta is undervalued.
How does Meta make money from Llama?
Threads for example is introducing ads and is likely being used to train their Llama models.
That is only one of many ways that Meta can generate billions again from somewhere else.

109B at Q6 is also nice for Framework Desktop 128GB.
I don't understand Framework's desktop offerings. For laptops their open approach makes sense, but desktops are already about as hackable and DIY as they come.

Could this mean training time is generally around 6 month, with 2 month of Q/A?

#129Interesting this is released literally one hour after another discussions suggesting Meta ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43562768 ) >at this point it does not matter what you believe about LLMs: in general, to trust LeCun words is not a good idea. Add to this that LeCun is directing an AI lab that as the same point has the following huge issues: 1. Weakest ever LLM among the big labs with similar resources (a…
Although maybe he's using an odd definition for what counts as a LLM.

Did “A new javascript framework de jour every quarter” ever stop happening?
No, but apparently people stop caring and chasing the wagon.
