Most discourse around GPU prices is nonsense right now. Some people using Spot prices for providers who won't have Spot capacity, some people using hourly rates for instances that are never in stock, some people ignoring commitment dis

I often see this kind of passive-aggressive characterization of the process with AI that's meant to bait people who obviously are expressing their creativity with these models. I hope no one will fall for it: even when you emphatically

This seems like mildly interesting distillation work wrapped up in a nonsense attempt to drag censorship into the discussion. There's no way your <200 examples for SFT would ever change how the model thinks of Holodomor unless you&#

"the premium of in person" is a string of words that only means something to people in a very specific circle where everyone is constantly trying to tastemake and write in lower case. Ironically they have extremely limited influen

Why do you think an inference provider competing for the same compute as OpenAI and Anthropic gives up those margins rather than giving a modest discount over the frontier for near-frontier performance?

I've found if you pay close attention, models in Codex get briefly lost on where it is in the plan post-compaction. If it was in the middle of a test it often tries to resume the test from the start, or will seem "surprised"

a) Why and b) With what compute? "Why" as in, why take lower margins when Moonshot currently can't service all the demand for the model anyways. Based on past models no one is going to massively undercut Moonshot: few have t

Everyone is raising the bottom. Kimi got 60% more expensive during the 2.x cycle despite staying the exact same size. Now K3 is almost 6x the cost of the original K2 checkpoint, and while the parameter count finally jumped, it's still

So we don't leave it all up to the parents: parents can give it, but minors also can't buy it regardless of parental views. Also give it to your kids too often and the state can step in. Defense in depth

Not unless you had a potential $1500 fee top of mind before you moved... Wanna guess if Starlink is advertising how insane these fees have gotten?

by BoorishBears 3mo ago
Yeah but it still sounds like $1,500 demand fee was not a mistake, charging OP was the mistake. People first mentioned these fees at like $100... now you can go to Costco, grab a Starlink, and they'll randomly ask for $1,500 to actuall
