> Model API is not available in your region. :( Well, Vietnam is not in the list of restricted territories. Anyway, what is "your region" ? Is this where I am now, or is it where I activated my Oculus 2 five years ago ?

Can’t you just use VPN?

Your Meta account profile region has to be in the U.S., and they do Geo IP and SMS verification.

Interesting how the prevalent opinion until yesterday seems to have been that OpenAI & Anthropic are irreversibly ahead and now with xAI and Meta at least delivered something that's competitive with useful models and cheap too. Granted, the narrative that the two leading labs are ahead still holds with Fable (and perhaps an upcoming GPT6), but it's not as over as common knowledge by the opinion leaders would have us…

meh, models are mostly good enough now. Without a major breakthrough the only thing that matters now is cost.

I had a few days of preview access, which was long enough to put together a plugin for LLM. You can try the model out in the terminal like this: uv tool install llm llm install llm-meta-ai llm keys set meta-ai # paste API key here llm -m meta-ai/muse-spark-1.1 "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" Here's the result: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer#url=ht... For comparison, here's the p…

How do you find the time to “preview” so many models? It’s been a crazy time recently with the model releases. Does it ever feel like a chore?

His primary interest nowadays is LLM's. Unsure if he gets paid for it, but he seems to take it as a dayjob.

Maybe Zuck should double down on his "spoiler" role with models rather than compete head-to-head. He doesn't have to match Anthropic or OpenAI model revenue if he can deflate theirs by 99%. All he has to do is keep spending a few billion dollars developing frontier models, release them as open weights, and turn coding models into a commodity. He also needs a good OSS reference harness to match. Very few people are in…

If he deflates their revenues, who is going to rent the compute from Meta?

all he has to do is that prove builing these inst hard anymore. because the whole moat these companies have is the perception that building models at frontier is really hard .

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you suggesting that psychic mindreading powers are real? > How would they know How would you? The answer is the same.

I don't understand what you mean. I can't build software I can't describe. If you're implying chatbots can ask their "client" what to build, good luck with that—contractors are at least liable for what they produce and have extreme incentives to ensure that their clients are happy. To the extent of refusing to build anything if they don't know what they want....

> I don't understand what you mean.

If you had psychic mindreading powers you would understand what I mean.
