I think model naming has been atrocious in general, in part because newer "lite" models surpass the capabilities of previous "pro" models (case-in-point: Gemini Flash which now surpasses the capabilities of the latest Ge

Nope. Handles vision differently.

Gemini 3.7 Flash and 5.6-Sol (on all reasoning levels) also answer 8:10:25. The new "stealth" Ox Alpha also replies with the same. Opus 5 replies with 8:10 (no seconds). Not sure why this is so hard for them; Gemini is especially

But the discount is only available via OpenRouter.

Does OpenRouter eat this cost to get their hands on a copy of the conversations people are using with the model?

You can’t check it with only the algorithm, you need the secret seed key. Which will be different for each provider (and they’ll probably have and use multiple). And you need the llm itself, to generate the potential tokens at each step.

This was 3.5 flash lite, actually, and after prompt tuning. It was very clearly an issue that correlated with input (JSON array) size, the more elements in the batch, the higher the error rate. 3.0 flash (not lite) handled it like a champ t

We have 3.7 Flash now, actually, and it costs just a hair over the old 3 Flash Preview while being better!

Speaking from experience here, flash lite models have amazing price, speed, and perform far above their size, but are susceptible to very bad instruction following and recall when either complexity or context size inch up. They’ll just forg

Complaining about overthinking in xhigh then pointing out output had bugs with thinking turned off seems like it’s missing the obvious compromise?

Thanks for the corrections, but I am specifically talking about semantics from the Unicode Technical Committee's perspective, of the underlying Unicode codepoint(s). There is a reason some end-user-viewable glyphs can be formed in mult

It’s really a complete and total nothing burger. Extra code points were added, might have been an issue when we were trying to cap the total number below needing some arbitrarily fixed number of bytes for convenience, but now that’s no long

iOS at least renders it as an n with dieresis; is that how it was intended (I’m unfamiliar with musical notation)? If so, what is so difficult about it? In fact, (semantics aside, from a technical perspective) the preference should always b

Clickbait post, already made the rounds on in other sites and was mercilessly torn to shreds. The answer is that millions do in production. PgBouncer is only needed for stateless backends, and even then, only under specific circumstances.

I never trust OpenRouter to forward parameters correctly and would only ever conduct benchmarks with the official api, personally.

At this size, it certainly doesn’t have to be.

But this isn’t a query that should need to be forwarded to the cloud for acting on!

Can you share more about the architectural/design tradeoffs you considered or decided upon? Particularly for me, why is a model that is intended mainly to just make tool calls and marshal the results back focusing on speed? Speed as an

We are still paying the price for that today, some of us a lot more than others. It was well-intentioned but with hindsight being what it is, historians pretty much agree that it was the cause of a lot of the problems we fight with today.

Yes, I found that as a workaround but I can't help but feel it's maladaptive since your spine is no longer aligned.

What an awful website for such a wonderful feature. I don’t expect to see this in the original Find My (Apple’s) as their implementation is fully custom and works altogether differently (and already had a protocol-level rewrite not too long

I (lifelong side sleeper) started using a (dedicated) knee pillow about a decade ago and I am completely torn about them. On the one hand: amazing. Better spinal alignment, zero sensitivity or soreness where the knees meet, better sleep, e

There is no good reason to believe language-specific models are going to be any meaningfully smaller, just worse. Same as English-only models vs those trained on a multilingual corpus.

Just to play devil’s advocate: you can’t compare Qwen to a (proprietary/closed source) hosted model and deduce that Qwen is overthinking, as Qwen gives you the full reasoning/thinking trace while all the proprietary models now giv

The tokenizers are included in the open s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶ weights releases; you wouldn’t be able to use the weights without the corresponding encoder/decoder, in fact.

What quantization level is that? Because official endpoints are slow .
