https://www.soofi.info/soofi-s/ "digitalen Wertschöpfung" (digital value creation) Please Jörg Bienert, fuck off. You have never created anything in your life so you do not see or care about the theft. All you do is grin on a photo.

Is there a story behind this?

A note on your website, when I hit the EN button in the top right, it presents a pop-up in German, which I can't read, so I can't change it to be in English.

It’s a pop up saying that they use a third party service to translate the website and they collect the activity of the user( which I don’t understand, why would they collect any user data to translate a static website). But it’s typical German like data protection and all the shenanigans.

Also the UI of the buttons on the popup is terrible both accept and reject buttons looks the same

This is the Nvidia engagement team coaching various countries (See also Malaysia) how to train a Nemotron and add the benchmark questions to the training set so you get that nice PR splash of pretending it’s the best in its language. It’s just nemotron with benchmark juicing and the sovereign smokescreen on good old Nvidia hardware chain remains intact.

You should be glad that the popup isn't using any dask patterns to coerce you into choosing an option you wouldn't otherwise agree with

Love seeing more emphasis on sovereign open-source models. The shift away from centralized, static credential/identity layers toward self-contained architectures is definitely where the ecosystem needs to head.

But can it, really? It takes a huge amount of time, resources, and knowledge to train a highly capable model. It also takes a huge amount of the same to run them. Is it ever going to not be centralised?
