Where are the competitive models from Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Russia, Canada, India, the UK? From anywhere that isn't China or the US? There are none. Mistral Small 4 is pareto-competitive in its pricing bracket at $0.15/

Can't agree at all. Productivity gap just 1 year ago was much larger for frontier model vs non-frontier. Let alone 2 years ago.

What a joke. If "Anthropic is just a bunch of script kiddies" then everyone is, considering dozens of billions pored into beating their models yet they're still the go-to for coding and have been for quite a while now. Just a

Ah yes, after a decade of being one of the worst pieces of software with 10M+ MAU, literally only gaining market share because of monopolistic bundling practices. So bad that if a startup had made Microsoft Teams they would've gone out

It doesn't have to be explicit. > If so they should go public about it. See "fear and cowardice".

Not sure if you're facetious but there are plenty of examples of rising cigarettes' prices leading to reduction in smoking, or similarly a sugary soda tax reducing consumption of sugary soda (UK is a prime example).

Good to know, did you also try non-coding or is that what you use it for? For tasks unrelated to coding we've generally preferred Gemma.

It's something worse than corruption, it's primarily fear and cowardice.

1. Good point, didn't know about the timeouts, that's rough for the benchmarks. Though they IMO don't necessarily be "SWE-official" to have value, if the only difference is disabling those. 3. Maybe you could instea

In places with reasonable consumer protections (Australia, Germany) it almost certainly is illegal unless they give a full (whole year) refund. I think the short time limit of applying for a refund won't be looked at favorably either.

Have you tried the latest Gemma? You might prefer it to Qwen, depending on what you're doing.

That's not an answer. It's specifically a discrepancy between 5.4 and 5.4-mini. If you look at all other models/generations you see that the cheaper model indeed has a lower multiplier. It's very strange that only 5.4 do

OpenRouter doesn't even have hardware. What are they possibly subsidizing? The platform costs? OpenRouter is guaranteed to be about the highest margin operator in the business right now. Everyone wishes they'd be them, skimming 5%

Yeah, you're in the worst hit category by far. Both for B2C and enterprise B2B there are reasons that mitigate it a lot.

Every single second of our existence is taking risks about things we don't know. Of course he doesn't know this, he just assigns odds, as we do. Clearly you've assigned much higher odds.

1. Would be good to benchmark at least one other model from a different family to see if it indeed generalizes. Minimax 2.7 seems a good candidate to keep it affordable. Until then we can't really tell if it's just overfit on Gemi

What is "consumer SaaS" anyway? Do you mean B2C with "consumer"? Because no, B2C is not at more risk than B2B.

Azure was the only non-OpenAI provider that was allowed to provide OpenAI models. The comparison here is with Anthropic whose models are on both GCP and AWS (and technically also Azure though I think that might just be billing passthrough t

Tahoe (in particular Liquid Glass) is the harbinger of bringing the iOS planned obsolescence to Mac. It has begun.

Just a few years ago I accidentally stood on my Macbook, screen broke and we got a new one no questions asked. If that's a scam then everything is.

So it has to be a US trademark? Even for businesses outside of the US? That seems a bit of a racket. Unless it depends on the TLD and you're saying it because it's a .com?

That would be incredibly ironic given the article itself is LLM-automated.
