If you have a grading rubric, huge points off for adding arms instead of using the wings as arms!

#33So one model is "Not used to improve our products" and is 10-20 times more expensive to the "Used to improve our products"-model. Given this is Meta, my immediate assumptions that one is cheap because it lets me "be the product". I know I'm rushing to conclusions but there is zero trust here. The brain will do its thing. And the wording here is giving the brains a lot of wiggle room.

#34Good job Meta! Seriously. This is almost making me forget about the 18B$ lawsuit for children social media addiction.

#36DeepSWE scores 75.4 - that's the best score so far. And it's crazy cheap! Google held the top a few hours today with Gemini 3.8 Flash, but now second to Spark 1.3. All this competition will drive prices down!

#37Is the fact that everybody almost catches up with the frontier a sign that we are entering a new region of sigmoid curve?
Progress is iterative. Everyone is always riffing on other’s ideas and can execute on them given enough support (eg $$). The person to get to an idea first is just 5% away, so it’s possible to catch up. Moreover,I think it’s impossible to know if you’re hitting a portion of the sigmoid, because there will often be an idea that changes the trajectory altogether. In 2024, there was a ton of talk about the plateau. Reas…
What was the difference between what deepseek did for R1 and what OpenAI did for o1?

Is there a reason these pelicans always have roughly the same composition (side-view, 2d, biking right, flat ground beneath, etc)? I don't see any of that detailed in the prompt, yet they all seem to generate roughly the same image of differing quality.

I don't see the wiggle room at all.
Re: Muse Spark 1.3
#40I started using Spark 1.2 for development because if you're willing to let Meta train on your data it was dirt cheap and was actually really pleasantly surprised with it. It's not a frontier model by any means, but for work that didn't require a top of the line model, I really enjoyed using it. I'm anthropomorphizing it a bit, but it felt like it knew its weaknesses and didn't try to impose it's opinions on me. What…
