Yeah, it's the same on Mac/iphone but better codecs. Still lossy but better than the Android experience

My understanding is that broad state power to the benefit of the people, Scandinavia style, is not the same as broad state power to monitor and/or control the people. Arguably those two types of power are in conflict in terms of desire

I find it slightly more acceptable, but yeah agree, still bad.

My most used follow-ups with Opus 5 are "one thing at a time" and "too much text". Really hope they figure this thing out
35.
by TomGarden 1mo ago
Yeah agree. Someone on HN posed the theory that the dogfooding might have worked against them here - the theory is that internally they used Fable as conversational agent and Opus as subagents, leading to Opus falling deeper into a style ma

It seems they are taking it seriously now - Boris et al have been mentioning they are working on a fix and shipped a temporary band-aid output style to combat Opus 5's horrendous prose. We'll see if they can do it, I originally go

The societal hurt coming out of public releases of image/video generation models must surely outweight the gain. That said, this is super impressive.

At least we have parking lots. Ah, so many parking lots

I was thinking that, but the use of em-dashes is different from the normal LLM use. If this is straight out of an LLM I am impressed

by TomGarden 1mo ago
Interesting question for sure, but for now the writing is just bad. So people might not know it's LLM prose, they just notice its poorly written and engage with the ideas less

Exactly, unless they solve reliability and jaggedness somehow and keep a moat with it, I don't see sudden brilliance with compunding errors leading to substantially more adoption. Most things that need doing in corporate america are qu

My understanding from reading news sources recently is that a vast amount of posttraining and even posttraining harnesses in many cases are LLM-overseen now in the frenzy of the AI race. Less and less human oversight in the part that does t

I'm still excited about this, Fable 5.1 and all the great open source models, but some very religious undertones have been entering the AI sphere

by TomGarden 1mo ago
I'm sure this will be a great model. Personally, I'm far away from screaming 'AGI is here!' from the rooftops, until jaggedness and silly mistakes disappear at the very least . (what is going on with that Mario Kart game

not a chance its gonna be realtime lol. It's fun marketing though, I'll allow it

They're all complimentary. I've had double subs at the top tiers for a while now. Best of both worlds

I don't think we'll be able to meet, and that's ok since the definition isn't universal. I align more with Demis Hasabis' views on this

by TomGarden 1mo ago
There's so much that the term includes that isn't even feasible with an LLM

Only Sonnet working over here, but it feels really fast and good. I could get used to this... Really wanted to take Fable 5.1 for a spin though

Any source on the 90% number? Last I saw (recently) one of the big players just announced they were planning to do 50% AI going forward

First time a topical LLM joke made me laugh IRL. Stellar work

by TomGarden 2mo ago
Interesting idea! I wonder if, after some iteration, a variation on this could help curb some of the LLM spaghetti mess

Any tips on the best approach at running this at an M4 Max 128GB? Token throughput was a bit slow with the last 27B one (MLX), ended up using the A3B variant but if I could get this one to reasonable speed I'd much prefer it.

by TomGarden 2mo ago
Really excited to see what people do with this. 3.7 27B was probably the best compromise between size and intelligence to run on consumer hardware

I run the same, if you want try a simple filter post transcription to remove them, and while you're at it add some simple word replacements like 'cloud MD' to 'CLAUDE.MD'

Anyone else feel like they're going insane sometimes? It's so simple, everyone on HN knows this, but I want to scream at every non-technical person "these tools are not reliable! You can't trust them!" They are so u

The big thing for me is the TTS, custom UI and persistent background mode! ie it switches turns automatically etc, no need to touch screen or keep screen on. The STT on Gboard is very solid, so if that covers your use case you're good!

by TomGarden 5mo ago
The biggest difference is that mine is audio-first - it reads everything out over Android tts by default, and runs a computer-side parakeet + Silero VAD server for transcription (My eyes struggle with small screens, though I use it text onl

This sucks. I use Claude -p over tailscale to code over voice when I’m on the go for accessibility reasons, and most of the time I do the same while at the computer. Running through $200 in API pricing takes no time. Oh well, time to switch

by TomGarden 5mo ago
Claude voice mode has come a long way! I'd say it's smarter than CGPT AVM last time i tried it. But personally I've settled on just speaking to the slower models over a custom tts app, I find it being instant was not actually
