Am I the only one who, when they see this, feels that it's already tough for Oracle and that many companies betting on "AI" have finally understood the real risks involved, and that they risk simply failing? I mean, if Oracle

Yes, you are right. Sorry, I missed that out. It's just that all the open-weight models mentioned were... One year old or older. I just forgot that, firstly, such research is rarely done on frontier models because it takes time (you st

Well yes, but no. There's also open-weight models, and literally all of the listed above are not used anymore, at least by most end users and developers as far as I'm aware.

I agree with you on most parts, but first, not everyone can actually run a model on your own computer that will do 98% of what you need - for most people it's rather around 40% of what you need, depending on the exact model and method

If in short, for many inference tasks the bottleneck is memory bandwidth. Suppose you have a machine with a memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s, and let's say you want to do inference for 4B model (model with 4 billion parameters). If yo

Maybe I'm stupid, but I never actually understood people who blame programming languages for bugs in software. Because sure, it's good to have guardrails, but in my opinion, if you're writing a program and there's a bug,

That is true to some extent. However, let me ask you one simple question: how would you try to search for something if you are not aware of it's existence? In other words, how people that are not aware of existence of open-source proje

How is this related to the inference , may I ask? Except for some very hardware-specific optimizations of model architecture, there's nothing to prevent one to host these models on your own infrastructure. And that's what actuall

For me, the main issue with all kinds of recent "advancements" in LLMs is their lack in ability to generalize and extrapolate existing knowledge; they often can be quite weak when it comes to complex associations. Because while ma

That's quite a specific task for local models like these though (I mean mujoco), so it might be underrepresented in the training data or RL. I'm not sure if you will be able to see a significant leap in this direction in the next

I don't see it that frequently. Maybe because I simply do not exist in the places where most of these spambots do their dirty job of killing anything that is alive by the waves of endless nonsensical spam. I agree with you on how... we
