I'm not an AI researcher (would love to hear an actually informed answer on this!), but AFAIK the weights are more or less a black box - you can't easily pinpoint that weights x, y and z relate to Ancient Rome and can therefore be

Not pointing and laughing, just wondering why (since I see so many posts about this). Sounds like it's just for the thrill of the game, which is completely valid.

I say this as someone who runs several publicly-facing websites, and also scrapes a few others for use in my own tools: why do people care so much about bots? WordPress with a cache can handle on the order of 1k requests per second on the c

I mean, I pay around $2,000 (AUD) per annum for electricity from the grid. If this battery plus some solar panels could get us free power for the next 20+ years, that's easily worth $15-$20k or so.

Someone did this exact thing recently, but running GLM-5.2 with something like 16GB of DRAM, a standard desktop CPU and nVME SSD. I think they got something like 10 _seconds per token_ (not tokens per second). EDIT: it was 25GB of ram and u

Not quite sure where you got that last bit from. Firefox alone psyched 200 vulnerabilities in a month when Glasswing happened, and I remember a lot of chatter about hackers basically watching git repos with bots to see when the Glasswing p

Honestly I don't really see this as a bad thing for the average person. I don't register my domains with CloudFlare, but I do all my DNS through them and it's great. Everything propagates in 10 seconds rather than 10 hours.

A lot of disappointment here in the comments, but models like these aren't meant to compete with the likes of Fable or GPT 5.6. I use 3.1 Flash Lite regularly to classify listings on eCommerce websites. It's great for this task -

Had the same thought. Since around 2022-2023, most subreddits insta-ban you or hide your posts unless you have x karma (you gain karma by posting and getting upvotes). So unless you happen to have an old account with karma from pre-2022, t
