Facebook users do not know Llama anywhere near the degree the X network does Grok, and both are pallid in comparison to Chatgpt.

The failed recall vote was trying to solve political gridlock for the DPP by winning enough seats for a legislative majority. My point is that in a well functioning system, this shouldn't be a step the DPP should take if they could get

That's true, I certainly wouldn't be able to tell. I was thinking on the order of a 20% score vs 70%, but I realize that's not a very compelling range for my point when people are boasting about <5% shifts.

They made it very clear that they were reporting that score for the non-thinking model[0]. I still don't have any guesses as to what happened here, maybe something format related. I can't see a motivation to blatantly lie on a ben

There is something of a middle ground here for benchmark skepticism. Big companies wouldn't want a massive divergence between benchmarks and real performance that people could actually notice, and I'd argue for the most part that

For what it's worth, the Qwen team misreported an ARC-AGI score benchmark on the non-thinking model by a factor of 4, which has not been explained yet. They claimed a score of 41.8% on ARC-AGI 1 [0] which is much higher than what non-c

The thread is full of people debating what AI means and whether ML/optimization algorithms count as AI. Laypeople don't think of machine learning when they see AI, they think of chatbots. I would argue even for a techy magazine th

Weird deflection. GPT 3, a 175 billion parameter model, came out in 2020, so it very much is not before LLMs. I guess you can say the story happened before ChatGPT by a few weeks. As for putting lost in quotation marks, I have no idea why y

What an insensitive, assumptive, stupid remark. You can't possibly know that the person you replied to behaves as you claim. It's 2025, the firebombing of Tokyo is widely recognized now, maybe not by most normies but certainly by

This is a bad article. Some of the information is wrong, and it's missing lots of context. For example, it somehow merged Llama 4 Maverick's custom Arena chatbot version with Behemoth, falsely claiming that the former is stopping

I don't understand why the benchmark selections are so scattered and limited. It only compares Magistral Medium with Deepseek V3, R1, and the other close weighted Mistral Medium 3. Why did they leave off Magistral Small entirely, along

Wouldn't that apply to any website with image hosting abilities though? Why does that apply to OpenAI in particular? On an unrelated note, I like your blog.
