That's quite disappointing. Whose hardware is it anyways? Yours, when you pay for it.

Try translating your prompt to Chinese first, it seems a lot better at understanding and following Chinese prompts even with the translation hop.

You really think Alibaba is going to go around and sue in US courts for something like this? It’s more of something to scare companies with legal teams. If you’re an individual or hobbyist doing a side project the risk is essentially zero.

If you’re using models today, it’s worth it. Yes it’ll eventually get built into the harness/model/interface; just like how “work it out step by step” became thinking, but if you have work to do today, it can be worth trying to im

K3.1 would likely be a deeper/longer post-train from K3, so that’d make sense. It’s all marketing anyways, but that’s at least how a lot of labs have been naming things (sometimes).

Oh it's probably intentional. I've seen efforts to simplify terms of service get rejected because "more people might read it if it's shorter".

What? People never read documentation? I start with reading and exploring documentation first; with the codebase as a secondary tab. When it’s not LLM generated, documentation is supposed to be easier to read and more insightful than code.

I believe most of their marketing videos use fairly convincing text to speech too, not voice actors.

At the end of the day, as an individual or a team or a company, regardless of the statue and case law, you have to perform the calculus on your monetary and legal resources versus your counterparty. Obviously ungrounded and frivolous cases

SVT-AV1 is also more than just open source in name only; development and discussions happen in the open; with many community forks that’s now getting upstreamed/merged. It is a true open source project; not just an open source license.

I’ve been shooting with semipro to pro cameras for decades across brands, and I haven’t came across a single camera that supports shooting JPEG XL. HEIF is what is getting support in recent models; but JPEG still rules supreme for its compa

Generally companies are welcome to choose to who to provide service to, as long as it's not discriminating against a protected class, or ruled as anticompetitive (which is a very high bar in recent case law; even if the same 1890s-era

Fewer people would create scientific or artistic works if they could just be copied or used without protection either; or so is the premise behind copyright and intellectual property; even being deeply embedded into the US Constitution (Art

These frontier labs violate billions of terms of services across the web, that prohibit scraping / automated access / etc. Most sites have a clause, it’s basically standard boilerplate. So why is their own ToS so special? :)

I’m an introvert who hates small talk, yet across countries; I’ve found the value of human drivers to far outweigh the small ‘cost’. From knowing the area and telling me the Alamo location has moved (and not updating their address on their

They aren't even standard on the model! One of the brands swapped pin-outs mid production run (but same SKU number and no changes in model name/packaging); and even sent back a RMA'd replacement with a different set of pinout

Fireworks has high variance amongst models and while some are served correctly; many of them are junk / broken and degraded and it seems like they don’t even know; because even running 1k MMLU Pro questions would flag it very quickly.

Bedrock Claude is absolutely not identical to 1P Claude. They’re close enough to not matter though.

This is a link to their configurable workstation on consumer boards. They offer TR or Xeon based boards too; it's just a different link/SKU: https://system76.com/desktops/thelio-major So they offer both optio

As a vibe test, I tried some system prompting in DSv4 Flash to the effect of ~"Always do your internal thinking in Chinese, and always respond to the user in English" (but translated to Mandarin). Subjectively it seemed to reason

I still find it hilariously ironic that my RTX 5090, which export controlled and illegal to sell to China, says "MADE IN CHINA" on it.

You need far more absurdly expensive RAM (RDIMM/ECC?) for a threadripper. Like 4x more expensive.

Ease of setup and accepting the lock-in; in exchange for OpenAI handling security-patching the environment, scaling containers, etc. It's an option.

Some people/companies/whatever might like the convenience and scalability of managed solutions, especially if you're say, just building something simple like a Slack bot with your custom workplace tools/data. Yes, the lo

Nah, it’s an optional feature, so by using it you provide express consent. GDPR gives users more data ownership; GDPR does not stop you from choosing to do what you want with your data. It’s likely DMA — Apple would be required to provide A

The way I see it, it’s all about how you use it. Let people have tools; their output stands on its own legs. As pro software, the UI has a learning curve. Many YouTube videos are out of date, or unnecessarily drawn out. Additionally, as a h

"Video game" is the medium, the challenge and test is figuring out how to win; when given no instructions, and specifically designed to be private. ARC-AGI takes it very seriously: they've never tested Fable, because they won

I really, really don't find the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index credible anymore. It's some weighted score of benchmarks, and benchmarks increasingly don't reflect how good a model is. That should be obvious if you com

Anecdotal experiences from my external early testing of Astra: if you love Sol (like I do) and wished it was smarter at everything, but especially better at high-level tasks and discussions; I think you'll LOVE Astra. Astra retains the
