I really do not get the obsession with translation, particularly bad translations and translating by default. Most people who browse websites in languages other than the official local one are fluent in that other language. Google Chrome ke

I dislike this approach. In my opinion it is much useful a 1x/2x billing based on hour like Deepseek does. Being unable to use it at the hours I need it makes me want to remove the service, not upgrading it.

Personally I have been using Deepseek V4 flash and it is enough for my needs. You can use OpenCode Zen/Go and also get access to many other models, including OpenAI ones. Writing purpose specific agents can make cheaper models close th

What happens if we train models (GPT or human students) using the outputs of a model with text havingbthose watermarks? Is there something preventing the watermark from being learnable?

I prefer V4 flash, but Luna is ok and included in the OpenAI plan I'm already paying, so... that is the reason I use it. I gave DeepSeek $50 around june, and I haven't been able to exhaust them yet. The model is super cheap and mo

I practically switched to doing everything with Luna or DeepSeek V4 flash. I haven't feel the need for the more expensive models.

Language distribution shifts. Eventually people will start adopting the distribution used by LLMs, making classification harder. Also, this doesn't even consider the case where people use LLMs to translate their original works. Or peop

Oh wow, even scammers care about usability and their employees' well-being. What's the excuse for bad UX in internal company software?

I'm really not sure how this would work. I don't know how the ACM works, but in IEEE you would have to give them your publishing rights. However, training a LLM is not publishing by itself, it is a derivative work? Any way, at thi

Hash functions necesarily have collisions. Also, it is perfectly possible to introduce bugs in the hash function (hash inputs, hash function itself) that allows cross account contamination.

That sounds very similar to what we know in self-supervised learning as representation collapse. I wonder if we could copy some of the anti-collapse mechanisms from SSL into GPT... after all, they are ways to increment the differential entr

I'm not sure that is really the case, or relevant in practice. I have been using OpenCode with DeepSeek lately (regular coding). For instance, today I got 120 million input tokens hitting cache, vs just 2.59million missing cache.
