As much as I don't like Mark Zuckerberg, part of me wishes he would get his head in the game and compete with these models, he's literally got all the capability to do so, and he could easily sell the model through deals with GCP, AWS, and Azure. Hell, Amazon needs a hot model they can host that's exclusive to them I feel like, maybe he can work something out with them, whatever the case, it seems so glaringly obviou…

Meta internally have been using Google Gemini "Meta has been using Google’s Gemini large language model for most of its moderation and customer support, but staff have recently been told to switch to Meta’s new foundational model, Muse Spark, the people said." https://www.ft.com/content/39251a31-4a9d-4870-b86c-dc6353d67...

It feels really insane to me that they have a model that could be better, but its just sitting there burning a hole in his wallet instead as he chases trying to recreate Grok's companion thing.

it would be a really great option if it didn't lack vision

what do you use vision for? I have failed to find a workflow with it that makes sense, asking it to review screenshots of websites or whatever it misses extremely obvious details like text flowing out of it's container/overlapping other text, things being in entirely the wrong place, etc.

What models have you tried? Gemini 3.1 pro has vision capable of reading my sloppy diaries from 10 years ago, down to small glyphs and doodles.

Canada has fewer excuses, given sparsely populated places that are cold with nearly infinite water and extremely cheap electricity.

Yep, agreed. Main issue in Canada is a notoriously slow and stingy investment ecosystem. Resource-wise we're incredibly well positioned.

Would you happen to know why there are so many Canadian investments in American telecom?

I mean they mostly work for OCR, I meant in a coding context.

Are you aware of how much purchasing power 200 dollars is in china, brazil, thailand or india is? This is an extremely arrogant take.

For the record, 200 USD is around 60% of the brazilian minimum wage.

How about brazilian median software developer wage ?

Did you read the article? Opus 4.5 has essentially been rebuilt already

Based on DeepSWE, Opus 4.8 gets you more intelligent output at lower price (GLM's token inefficiency is really biting them). GPT5.5 even moreso. And I don't recall about Opus but GPT is much, much faster at getting you the answer (again, GLM's token inefficiency). It's neat, I guess, that we can compare them against models released last year, but I care about my options today, and the pareto frontier is about as far…

As per the article, they are now about 6 months behind US frontier models, that's down from 9 months. The gap is closing

Can people share their GLM and open model setups in general please? What provider do you use. Why do you trust it with serving full quality? What harness do you use? Why do you trust it not to have malware (most harnessed are TS apps). I am just trying GLM 5.1 from Nvidia build in open code would love to hear how you all do it, thanks.

Pi is great, set it up with a system prompt to give the model more direction and think less, and it crushes anything I give it

The problem is that the differences between flagship and local models are compounding heavily. An 4% different could be massive when you keep iterating on the same code base.

> The problem is that the differences between flagship and local models are compounding heavily This depends a lot on how you work, and how much of the architectural thinking you do yourself. People seem to lose sight of the fact that a flash model today is as powerful as a frontier model from a year ago. If you were happy with GPT 4.x, you should be ecstatic that equivalent power is now basically free...

I am one of those ecstatic folk :)
