My favorite Jeff Dean fact is that he’s also antirez. Which reminds me of my favorite Salvatore Sanfilippo fact. He’s also Jeff Dean

Is that what the identity function is?

It's why javascript had to add the triple equals check...

In the AMA Minimax said that H3 could support sparse attention, that would be a huge speedup! I wonder if there are any news on that. H3 is very cool. EDIT: testing a --sparse-attention optional mode based on what they said in the Reddit post.

How similar are Jeff Dean and Salvatore Sanfilippo?

People are really good at stuff.

I noticed on a bar TV the other day that some of the Chromecast screensaver landscape photo credits were to Peter Norvig. They were really lovely pictures.

On my 128GB M4 Max Mac Studio, generating a 15s 480p video with MiniMax H3 in ComfyUI takes an hour and a half.

Put Codex to work on deploying it now, hoping the speed can improve quite a lot :-) Thanks anyway

Of course it isn’t. If you can’t afford to eat you can’t achieve any potential you might have. Financial stability is a gamechanger for everyone.

I've been using MiniMax H3 on my M5 Pro 64GB MacBook Pro through ComfyUI. It works extremely well. I had to modify the default ComfyUI workflows to use a GGUF quant (city96's ComfyUI-GGUF custom node, UnetLoaderGGUF in place of the stock loader) [0]. I use the model labeled Q5_K_M. There is Q8_0 available as well, which is 34GB and fits fine in 64GB unified memory if you keep resolution modest. The main issue is spee…
