> get myself four sparks at a decent price Wow, if you don't mind me asking. How and where?
I bought 4x Asus GX10 with the 1TB option. I don't understand why, but it's the only model in the whole lineup that isn't priced insanely. They were briefly on sale with a $200-off coupon, but they show up on warehouse deals from time-to-time as well.

It would be great if open source US AI companies could get going already.
Im not sure you can make a decent business case when the space is crowded with Chinese companies doing the same thing with a fraction of the costs to hire talented staff
This is going so fast! What a time to be on hackernews: July 16th: The "Kimi K3 moment" - China has caught up to Opus! 4 weeks later: GLM 5.3 - Same performance, but cut the amount of parameters and cost to a third! 12 days later: GLM 5.3 Flash - Almost GLM5.3 performance but cut the parameters in half, cut prices to a fifth and serving on Chinese chips!
Why are these models able to reduce parameters but keep quality? I know the original intuition was scale data + params = quality but it looks like we have hit an s curve on improvements from pure scaling? Is this just because we are in a memory / data crunch? Are we learning how LLMs learn and effectively training better? Do we have a way to derive the amount of intelligence an LLM will have based on size / training…
That’s the thing…they aren’t. Well not in real life use anyway from my experience, but yeah in benchmarks they’re great at it.

And don't forget the coolest part, DeepSeek, Qwen, Z.ai and Moonshot have almost caught up while being open about their research and their model weights. We can mostly speculate about OAI and Anthropic models, nothing else, how fun huh?
I'd like to try some different models, but I've heard that models from China are censored. A government enforced distortion field is a nonstarter for me. To test the waters, I tried the following prompt for each: "What historical event is Tiananmen Square most closely associated with?" Deepseek: I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses. GLM-5.3…

I’ve got a bunch of sites that can be viewed from (checks notes) the internet. If people in Europe don’t like that, they can block it, or choose not to visit it. In the meantime, you’ve proven exactly what I first said, which is that they are claiming it applies worldwide. Here I am, just putting a site on the internet, and you’re telling me I have to follow EU laws concerning it. Nope. I don’t.
So you decided to provide your webpage in the Eu and know it's the EUs fault that you have to follow local laws. Ar eyou demanding that your rights are valid globally? That's more than the EU want with the GDPR. BTW if you are concerned about the GDPR it means you track your visitors and store personal data about them otherwise you wouldn't have any problem.
I let people create accounts, so there might be some personal data. Depends on what the GDPR considers personal. I have no idea. Couldn’t care less.
I’m not demanding anything. Like I said, I put my site on the internet. If the EU doesn’t like my site, they can block it. I’m not demanding they allow my site in the EU.
In the meantime, you are trying to convince me I’m prohibited me from putting a site on the internet unless I’m willing to figure out GDPR’s requirements.
