I dont have any unreasonable trust in software. I just understand that nothing LLM sphew out actually runs on either GPU or hardware that GPU plugged into. Neither LLM weights aware of any of the code it runs on.

Decryption keys are backed into GPU. Learn about how trusted compute works on Nvidia hardware. This is why for instance Google allow to deploy Gemini models on private GCP instances deployed on air gapped hardware.

Rocket science is not required to completely isolate inference servers from whatever infratructure "agents" runs on. After all it can be just some GPU server spewing text over network. Like there are no way to connect back to it.

Quite obviously frontier models dont have any control or even access to infra inference runs at. And weights are also encrypted and locked on GPUs / TPUs. This is exact reasom why 99.9% of AI fearmongering is complete bullshit.

This was just rumors like 99% of other Apple-related news.

What porting you talking about exactly? Packaging existing binaries? Compiling source code making it more compatible with Wine? In my experience as game developer and porting C++ code tells such difference usually mean there are something r

Even native AI gallery uses smaller Gemma models. I guess whatever Chrome is using for WebGPU compute on Android is just adding too much overhead.

Sadly crashing on Pixel 9 Pro, but I guess phone GPU with 16GB RAM total wouldnt be enough anyway.

> It is okay to publish things that aren't production ready and they are much better than nothing at all, and we shouldn't harshly criticise the best thing in a category unless we make something better. So much of this.

Dear fellow humans from "Hacker News". Hacking a driver that in itself documentation to black box Apple hardware is not any different from hacking $10 4G LTE modem. Fact that a person who was not previously driver developer can ac

It's okay to have policies against shitty code, blatant copyright violations or being an ass. It's not okay to ban tool use when a person is honest about it. The only thing you can achieve with a ban is that people will learn to l

FFS Linux kernel have tons of patches with "Asahi Lina" specified as "author" even though commiters are real people: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/

There is no reason Linux the Kernel upstream wont take his code. Asahi is not Linux upstream.

> There is no way Linux will take that code, since people from Apple also contribute to Linux and this creates a major conflict. I guess author can cleanup the code and try upstream it themself. Then let's see what Linus thinks of i

Asahi state as one of its goals upstreaming Apple Silicon support into Linux Kernel and kernel does not have similar anti-llm policies. Imagine what happen if OP submit patches upstream skipping Asahi and they gonna be accepted.

Thanks for the post and answering here, but for someone to follow in your steps there really need to be more information: how did you handle physical hardware? Did it got stuck / frozen / whatever? How did you managed reset /

To the developer: it doesnt matter whatever you can upstream it or not. Just share the code and documentation of how this process can be reproduced. There plenty of us not working at Apple who can reuse the same approach for M5 and next gen

I certainly dont care about hiding LLM contributions and all crazy anti-LLM policies, but I really hope author can share process completely so this can be reproduced by someone not working for Apple.

This is certainly interesting idea, but I guess main problem isnt just UX and representation on 2D surface, but just pure amount of text data that you suppose to look at and understand what exactly it does. When you have fiction or game dia

I guess from the comments we can draw conclusion that its different to everyone. I had Quest 3 for a few months to play games and I feel okay playing, but every time I tried to open IDE and terminal after 10 minutes my brain just say full s

Honestly I'be tried Quest 3 and it was not enough for me to consider it anything more than just a toy. How many hours a day you spend in it? How often do you use it?

The question here is whatever Steam Frame displays resolution is sufficient to work with text. So far only mass produced device that was really suitable is a Vision Pro. So far all reviews I've seen been centered around gaming and not

I kind a get their reasoning. They cant recognize balance topup as revenue because then they'll owe taxes on full amount. At the same time majority of money we pay them usually just gonna be an expense paid to actual inference provider

Is this reset clock policy is actually documented somewhere? Because right now your website it's just say 1 year since credit purchase.
