"delivering up to 750 output tokens per second and without any quality compromise" seems pretty definitive.
It’s suspicious that they repeat “without any quality compromise” instead of just outright saying it’s the exact same model. It’s like a motel that insists they have clean beds.

I discovered yesterday that the “amazing thing that comes out of OpenAI” is Sol, due to its token efficiency. Dollar for tokens, Sol and Fable are the same price. However, Sol uses (literally: in testing) around 10-100x less output tokens compared to Fable for the same task. We run our frontier models nearly 24/7, so switching to Sol will save us around $500 per day. And, due to less guardrails, Sol also performed be…

I'm finding Luna suprisingly adequate for my work. I slept on it due to the benchmarks, but it's very fast and even on low reasoning I'm finding it more than adequate for "menial" work. (The speed is crucial for "interactive" work -- if a model is fast enough it goes from "async" to "real time", subjectively, which is a huge difference.) In fact, I'd say it's overqualified for the kind of work I'm doing, because it s…

There are many industries and situations that will pay absurdly high multiples on API rates for low latency access. Anything remotely related to finance, deal flow, or trading, including the development and checking of Excel financial models. Live analytics that can be delivered mid-meeting to C-suite executives, or ultra-luxe dealmakers who need answers while on a live call. Intelligence and defense, where milliseco…

Otherwise it’s just lazy. I know shallow dismissals is kind of HN’s thing, but come on, a little effort please. Currently, your comment is just as much slop

I agree. Weird to use and characters. Maybe written on phone, but certainly not on keyboard.

#157People underestimate the importance of speed on quality of thought, because people underestimate just how much quality is a result of simple iteration. When an LLM thinks, it typically just makes one pass. It outputs tokens from top to bottom, beginning to end, and then it's done. But when people think, especially strong thinkers, we typically iterate and revise our thoughts on the fly. We do numerous passes. We stop…
Or what if it output the final result in the first place, without having to repeatedly prompt it to check its own work to trick it into a better answer?

#158All the frontier labs go seemingly dormant for a month or two, while another one has its flurry of press releases, and people start to question whether the other lab is doing anything and then boom, the other lab finishes baking its next thing and releases its flurry of press releases

What kind of bot would say `less guardrails` instead of `fewer guardrails`? I guess someone could instruct an LLM to deliberately make mistakes, but isn't that too paranoid?
