Looking better and better for people to go after local solutions.

Tell that to the GPU market

I think it heard. A 128GB strix halo was $1400 at launch. Now they’re $3299.

That 7 months of claude -> 16.5 months of claude.

> we’ve implemented new interventions that limit Claude’s effectiveness for requests targeting frontier LLM development (for example, on building pretraining pipelines, distributed training infrastructure, or ML accelerator design).

Dig that moat son, we would want to automate our job away.

They have a silent nerfing system for their models and say so openly. The obvious question is how much it is being used already. Competitor companies being nerfed? Non Americans getting worse code? Punishing and rewarding users to maximize engagement, like online games do affecting victories through matchmaking?

This send chills down my spine. For now I will not use Fable in my research. The risks of being sabotaged by the model are not worth it.

It is absolutely fine to distill the IP of everyone else, but you'd be violating the TOS to distill ours :)

Is there a technical term for this phenomenon? Ladder pulling? https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/safety-secu...

Corporate espionage?

It's a SaaS, when in the history of SaaS has it ever been a good idea to trust that the company won't ruin the product under you?

Most of the time, which is why SaaS has been very popular.

The popularity of SaaS was never derived from the products themselves, but rather business' weird aversion to doing in-house development. Most companies not in tech view software as literal magic, and act as if hiring some engineers could risk opening Pandora's box or something. Banks are particularly notorious for this; despite basically their entire business being done digitally, they treat software as a necessary evil, not as their underlying value.

But, the cost of in-house development just went down significantly. SaaS has always had a lot of broken promises. The thing is the software is never tailored to your use case, and you often have to integrate into your other tools anyway. And, you don't get to control the requirements, features, velocity, or bug fixes. Jira as a bug? Too bad I guess, hopefully it gets fixed eventually.

But the dirty secret is that companies are filled to the brim with bright-eyed aspirational employees, who want nothing more than to make their job easier and their company more efficient. The thing is they're doing it using cursed Excel workbooks on share drives. I think, in the near future, they'll be doing it with hand-rolled applications.

There are several domain-general four-letter terms.

Fable would be unusable for you in a more literal way, since it just directly refuses to answer any query even remotely related to biology

I’m very aware of this as well.

How do local models work? I’m specifically interested in things that run in the 32-128GiB space. (I don’t care about bio specifically; just trying to track when local models start surpassing cloud ones in some practical dimensions).
