Are you from UK perhaps? Because UK is the only place I know where "asian" also includes India and Pakistan. Everywhere else India is sort of separate entity and always mentioned separately.

You don't get out much? (in alpha) Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, Middle-East (sorry, that's a western term) all include west Asia in the definition.

>You don't get out much?

Now, now. No need to be rude!

> I tested Fable through Cursor; I tested Fable for a whole day. And my experience was quite the opposite. I was blown away. Admittedly, I did not try it through a middleman like Cursor. I used Claude Code CLI.

Me too. It’s output was fabulous. And it acted like a senior engineer - actually coding up hypotheses, testing them, finding problems and presenting good, usable recommendations backed by solid evidence and wisdom. It can probably do most of my job, which gave me a bit of an existential crisis. I’ve paused my Claude subscription until they bring it back. Opus makes mistakes constantly, on every level of abstraction.…

Even Sonnet does that if you gently prompt it to.

The "Mythos-like" talk is getting kinda annoying. Us normal people have no way to compare it outside of looking at benchmarks

Asian ai startups have also no way to compare despite making bold claims, and one could argue the whole point of the trump intervention was to prohibit them from distilling faible.

Has either of these companies released models before this? It's hard to believe that they could release a supposed Mythos-level model just out-of-the-blue. Deepseek, Z.ai, Alibaba/Qwen have been at this for a lot longer and have been releasing models with steadily increasing capabilities for about 18 months now. I find it hard to believe that these new companies would just suddenly release a Mythos-level model withou…

That paper had many co-authors and only two who were considered to be the primary drivers and geniuses behind (and they are american citizens).

I tried the Fugu models with some real world tales in C# and unity using mcp and open code. I exhausted the $20 plan 5 hour window in one prompt to review my theme system and plan some color changes. So I upgraded to the $100 to see the implementation and result. Well the result was worse than Opus, incredibly slow, and I ended up exhausting the new 5 hour window and have used 35% of the weekly now and it hardly crea…

Because Fugu is not an independent model. They just use multiple existing SaaS models from OpenAI, Anthropic etc in background, gather response and generate results based on these response. They claims that combining the results of multiple AI models and generate final result by using their in-house proprietary model improve the quality than using the single backend model. It cause all sorts of doubts like: is their…

I saw something similar on openRouter.

If you host it or are caught running it locally, then you go to jail. Since it's a national security issue, they'll be inclined to enforce aggressively.

Next we'll be putting smart people in jail for being too dangerous.

A tale as old as time

> Despite his research, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to hand-washing, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. In 1865, the increasingly outspoken Semmelweis allegedly suffered a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum by his colleagues. In the asylum, he was beaten by the guards. He died 14 days later from a gangrenous wound on his right hand that may have been caused by the beating.

I have yet to see a model that can make a consistent and repeatable powerpoint deck that doesn’t need considerable manual revision Find me someone who is putting raw text in and getting out a usable weekly staff meeting deck that doesn’t require massive revisions

It’s hard not to be cynical as a dev. Every time I see a non-dev messing around with tooling I feel pain and discomfort. You can bet your ass I can make AI make a consistent and repeatable powerpoint deck. Problem is a) the need to produce this “deck” is questionable, at best and b) thinking in “powerpoint” is severely lobotomizing and limits you and your company in ways I find hard to even enumerate. The exact same…

Bro what?
