Local models are always going to be useless unless compute get significantly cheaper, and it's not. TSMC might literally run out of capacity to build any consumer compute product. Once computer constraints ease up, you will see much larger models. The reason LLM seems to have stalled a bit is because there just not enough compute. You have more people using AI which requires more compute, and you want to build larger…

Right.. and computers were once the size of a large room vs now fit into a pocket. " The reason LLM seems to have stalled a bit is because there just not enough compute." lol okay mate.

There is literally not enough compute dude. If we had infinite compute we would see everyone building Mythos size models.

"Right.. and computers were once the size of a large room vs now fit into a pocket."

Yeah because we offload much of the compute to off device. You think we would have these small computers in our pockets if the internet didn't exist?

Honestly if he was a Nazi that would be less worse than whatever the fuck he is.

Did you also dance in the street when Charlie got shot in the neck?

Nah but his wife did; well I guess that is not true, it was on a stage with pyrotechnics. Not even cold and his wife is making NYE look like a proper funeral, poor lad.

I rarely use Opus for planning (in the Pro plan). Spec a feature in Sonnet, hand it to Haiku, come back for review. That’s a 5-hour window gone, sometimes 2. I hit my weekly limit around day 4, with 2 maxed out windows per day (and sometimes a bit of usage at night). I completely understand why people would use Opus for everything, it’s much more thorough and effective. Sonnet as well, but on Pro it’s gonna be Haiku…

my workflow allows for about 10 windows being maxed out each week(if this threads claim is true that is now 5 windows), i always use Opus for planning and just have strict rules for delegation when its actually crafting the code. I have a pretty nailed down .claude/ where the goal is single sources of truth, so agent md files all reference the relevant files for what domain they are working within with that domain's…

On the Pro plan you can max 10 windows per week using Opus for planning? I’m impressed. Even with Serena and really tight context management, I use Sonnet for most planning and Haiku for implementation. That gets me through the week doing 1 or 2 features and 10-ish windows of bug fixing.

Colossus 1 datacenter is the one using illegal power, is poisoning the air for poor communities near Memphis, and is potentially poisoning the water. It's likely the additional demand on the grid will cause massive blackouts during extreme weather events, putting residents at further risk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_(supercomputer)#Envir... So you can put Anthropic on your list of companies that like to t…

I live in Memphis, none of this is true. What is true is that there is a concerted effort to smear anything related to xAI‘s presence in Memphis for some reason. For some facts, the colossus data center is next-door to a steel mill and city sewage treatment plant, a vacated gigawatt scale coal power plant complete with nasty Coal Ash Ponds, and a brand new combined cycle gas power plant. The area is at the far edge o…

That's a weird thing to say and makes me doubt everything else in your comment.

Just in case you were talking about some specific group I looked up who was doing the suing and they have lots of stuff about promoting trains and EVs etc.

They are literally suing the Trump administration (that Elon helped elect) on this topic.

> There are junkyards in these same areas that burn their piles of waste tires every year or so “on accident”. No lawsuits there either.

I wonder what drew xAI to this poorly regulated hellscape?

Also, one of the organisations suing xAI is also suing a) cement factories that burn tires for energy and b) tire companies that use the additive that kill salmon

The point is metric shit-tons of SRAM is still large amounts of expensive memory.

SRAM and HBM are two completely different things though... SRAM is what your L1,L2,L3 caches are made of (most of the time, asterisks exist). This is something we've been doing for years and is a proven technology thats unbelievably cheap. It's all part of the processor. HBM are their own chips and dies.

SRAM is still high bandwidth memory...it's literally the most space inefficient and expensive type of memory.

It's not a weird thing to say, it's what has happened. We used to have vehicle inspections, now we dont, vehicular pollution can be horrible in Memphis, even our city buses frequently pour out black smoke, but no lawsuits or front page 'journalism' on that!

The Shelby County Health Department has been leading the charge against xAI.

Solar on earth was dumb because of logistics, right? Things get cheaper.

Long term maybe, but I don't think it makes sense now, and won't for many years.

What’s cool is that we’ll see.

It’s weird to not take this seriously. It’s obvious it’s serious and they’re pursuing it.

The whole armchair engineer debate online about this is hilarious I'm just a software engineer, all I need to know is SpaceX is aggressively pursuing this - that's enough for me to believe it's viable SpaceX operates literally orders of magnitudes more satellites than anyone else. If anybody understands the physics and engineering of space compute, it's SpaceX. Lay people debating this online is just showing their ig…

Building datacenters plays to his strengths. It's a good partnership if he can stomach it.

I would think that stomaching Musk would be the hard part. Just goes to show how compute-constrained Anthropic is at this time. He literally did a Nazi salute on stage, twice! Check the video, and tell me what you see. edit: https://giphy.com/gifs/elon-musk-nazi-salute-8W0ItVv7T1kRdwb...

Just to be clear, business is business, and if there was a clear opportunity for my business, I would likely make the same deal.
