Dax (from Opencode) has tweeted that they can replicate or beat the price with rented GPUs. Deepseeks secret sauce is the incredibly cheap caching (magnitude cheaper than other providers). vLLM has recently released a similar approach. It&#

I've been using it extensively since the release and the best summary I can give is that it's good enough to use it for (almost) everything and cheap enough that the cost are irrelevant. I'm running it in Oh My Pi with a seco

I've had great success with using Luna and having DeepSeek 4 Flash check Luna's output. Oh My Pi has a mode built-in that does this automatically ("advisor" mode). Deepseek only interrupts when it spots an issue so it do

For a v2.0 this doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table or the page is not very good at communicating what makes this unique compared to Codex or Claude Work. Either way good for Google but I do not expect this to gain a lot of

OMP is great to get started with, there's a whole bunch of stuff in there but it's mostly optional and turned off by default (like the memory backend). You can always try it and create a custom Pi config with only the stuff that y

I'm not a tax expert but it's my understanding that Israel doesn't have an inheritance or wealth tax which is already better than a lot of European nations.

Thanks, I stand corrected! That makes all the recent changes even more puzling.

It would be interesting to hear if the addition of Reddit data makes LLM stronger or weaker. Outside of some (technical)subs most of the comment seems to be of a far lower quality than what you find in books or in websites.

For users, Reddit has been in a downwards spiral since the IPO. It's pretty clear that their focus is no longer on providing the best communities (see the many examples of power hungry mods, see below) or the best UX (see the deprecati

Pricing often reflects what the vendors (expects) the customer is willing to pay. It seems that Google is still trying to find their niche in the market.

As much as I like GLM 5.2 it's clearly a step below Opus (or even Fable) for more complicated tasks. I would place it at Opus 4.6/4.7 level. Having said that, the safety system on Fable makes it an extremely unattractive model. It

Yes but Kubernetes takes these battle-tested scripts, and allow everyone to use them with a few lines of YAML ;) I understand the dislike of YAML but a Kubernetes deployment is ~50 lines, if I had to build my own scripts with a similar feat

Kubernetes makes complex things (e.g blue/green deployment, auto-scaling, failover) possible irrespective of the underlying cloud/hardware with a good and standardized API. It's absolutely overkill for small teams and homelab

When we tried to do a pilot with their cloud we couldn't even sign-up. None of the corporate credit cards were accepted. In addition to that the form basically only worked in Edge. We emailed support, they changed something on the back

This is an interesting point and the article should definitely take these factors into account. It's indeed very worrying what we ask medical professionals to put themselves through for their jobs. I think we can all agree that having

I've found these kind of models (Deepseek + Xiaomi) to be absolutely excellent when it comes to writing documentation for code. We have a bunch of internal tasks that need to be documented for a non-technical team. I added 20 USD in cr

It's really cool and interesting to see the kind of engineering that goes into Xiaomi (and Deepseeks) inference optimizations. Z.ai has also published some interesting papers although I haven't had a chance to go through them yet.

This is an extremely weird comment that doesn't add anything to the conversation. Here on HN we discuss facts, jumping straight into racism has no place here.

They might be sending some user requests to Anthropic to gather trading data for their own models. If they do so, perhaps they need to add some tracer to request that they prefer to hide.
