Interestingly if we assume 16 concurrent users, prefill drops to 600 t/s and generation to 61 t/s, and this starts to be dangerously near to M5 Max 35 t/s generation and 400 t/s prefill you get with DwarfStar in your own

They try so hard to do a polished presentation that everything is kinda fake and unauthentic. I don't understand how this attitude survived so many years.

There is a different way to look at this: that is, actually the Transformer is a minimal complication of what the based model is: in theory the neural network could be just a huge FFN, which is anyway the part of the Transformer that does t

I don't think this makes any sense. Companies with managers that think AI capabilities are superior will be replaced if they are wrong as the companies will perform very poorly.

Indeed this will likely happen in the future, but not today. I was experimeting with SSD streaming in DwarfStar for DeepSeek v4 PRO inference in 128GB systems (and Flash inference iwth 32/64). GPT 5.5 ran the whole night, I checked wha

Note that this is not related to Black Forest Labs Flux, the image synthesis models builders, and is instead related to a PCB AI authoring product called Flux.ai.

AI is not a product per se, it is a technology you can decline into a product, and the product has a lot less value than the technology itself. Who has the best LLM can copy any product idea and make it a lot better. Similarly if open weigh

In this game, who wins - in the long term - is who has the best model: so far OpenAI is ahead, so in the long term this is what matters. However, for the same reason, if in the future open weight models will be very near the quality of fron

This is by far the best definition of AI slop I ever read, and the blog post itself is the contrary of AI slop: a short post where each word matters. The creation of an output that is at the same time large and lacks fundamental motivation&

Anthropic did a big strategic error. Normally they compare their models with their old models. Instead today, now that everybody knows how strong GPT 5.5 is at coding, they put it in the mix, basically showing all their customers that the b

I have the feeling posts like that should be 1/4 the size, at max. At this point I don't care if it is AI-slop or human-slop: they are surprisingly alike. Information must be more dense, each sentence must carry some truth.

How much the RL they are doing really improves Kimi K2.5 is to be seen. So, right now, the ground truth is that they combined what they had with a strong open weights model. The RL improvement may be both marginal (since may folks report st
