It's so refreshing to see DeepSeek's tech report[1] full of juicy details; meanwhile, something like Fable's system card[2] is like 70% "safety", 10% "model welfare" to make sure little Claude isn't distressed, and 20% benchmark numbers.

…are you sure a brave stance against safety and welfare is what we need in this moment? Why do you think your conception of the dangers are more accurate than all the scientists who have spent their lives studying this?

keep me safe big brother

I am speculating but hard to not see that DeepSeek is brewing a full Pro model with those new techniques to come out right around the time of Anthropic and/or OpenAI IPO to tamper the excitement for their offering.

DeepSeek will deprecate the v4 Pro model (it will route to v4.1 Flash starting 14 Sep). Unsure what comes next, but I'd wager a bigger model à la Kimi K3: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49639667

As I also said on Twitter - it really amazes me how fearless Deepseek are. Every single model release is packed with new and crazy clever ideas and somehow, they always commit to training them at near frontier scale. I know everybody wants the tell all story of the clever ideas that were developed over the last ~3 years at Anthropic and OpenAI, but what I really want to thumb through is DeepSeek's notebook of "brilli…

quant HFT is pretty decent mental exercise and it has given them “deep” brain muscles. that’s my take.

This is known as an "appeal to authority." "Scientists" and "their lives" are doing a lot of work here.

If only they managed to tell the mobile app to tell the model to reply in English to English prompts. I suffix everything with "Reply in English", and even so I‘m getting lots of Chinese.

I just started learning Chinese instead, like they want us to seriously

English isn't the first language for me as well so I don't see any problem with that
