I think a better framing is the marginal utility of the models capability growth. At a certain point frontier models will only be needed for frontier problems. The demand for that capability will decrease with time. The hand wringing about

I’d also note that running a 2.8 trillion parameter model at scale efficiently is not simple. I would expect when open weights land getting it running fast, efficient, and at full capability will require sufficient resources it’ll be expens

Lost me here - I was there - I worked on open sourcing communicator at Netscape and starting Mozilla. We were the one company that tried to own it all, but were out spent and out maneuvered by a more insidious company. This totally misunder

And this demonstrates this benchmark does not necessitate achieving those goals to achieve a perfect score. You seem to miss the point that almost all of math, physics, computer science is built on constructing an objective then cheating to

A great deal of mathematics is transforming nonlinear problems into linear ones and solving them with linear techniques. Others are solving non linear problems through stochastic methods. In almost all cases most non trivial math is done by

Not necessarily - the compliance side would open up stripe entirely unless they very carefully structured as a bank holding company. Stripe has been trying to gain a charter in Georgia for years and just got it last year. I think this taugh

What I find interesting about this isn’t acquiring the flow from PayPal but the fact that PayPal has a bank charter and stripe doesn’t (not a real one, all that Georgia bank stuff is shenanigans). Properly structured this gives stripe a lot

Agreed. It’s also a lot better at following instructions. If anything codex can get caught into an overly literal adherence to instruction while Claude you can barely trust it to sit still for 5 minutes. Tell Claude to use an MCP for a tas

Yeah that was my instinct too. What sort of career defining trends are visible with this much historical data? Feels like someone wrote clickbait research to get published.

Hmm ok. The fact 5.6 Sol performs around Fable level and is included without mega token spend in the subscriptions means I’ve promoted codex to my primary harness and model. The latest release of the CLI, app, and desktop fills a lot of the

But a proof isn’t an explanation it’s a proof. Proof by assuming the opposite is true and demonstrating a contradiction is very indirect and not at all directly explanatory yet it’s a proof non the less. The goal of proofs is to demonstrate

It’s a real condition. For me it’s jet liners of various makes. I had to rewrite the quote as “0.005 Boeing 777’s” to be able to comprehend just how strong those snails teeth are.

Given the game is stable and the changes would be at the integration points, and Fable was able to do the direct integration, why would the answer not be “it’ll maintain itself” at some abstract level. The decision to maintain open source i

Reagan didn’t do it alone, and the philosophy that created this monstrosity inexplicably keeps marching along as if all it needs is more patches and it’s the fault of the demand side and supply side for their philosophical view that “free m

This is wrong - the training data is necessary but insufficient. There are a lot of other parts of the architectures used that add a lot of value - otherwise Markov chains would be all you need. There are layers upon layers with non linear

The moral hazard is making a product with nearly totally inelastic demand a multi layered adversarial free market with structural price opacity. Thanks Reagan!

It’s actually likely fair use on the way in as well. What’s not fair use is the production of copyright material with the model and the question is the extent to which model providers have to prevent it. These topics came up with the photoc

ai generated imagery can’t be copyrighted while all other photography can and generally needs to be treated as it is. Therefore you likely have to pay a royalty to Getty or other asset outlet. Of use AI.

There’s even a skills over MCP WG; and I typically deliver skills via tools in my MCPs intentionally. I find Claude and codex recall of skills via MCP tools to actually be higher than skills themselves, which I feel have an (unmeasured) le

My struggle is despite giving it a good honest go I couldn’t find the use case for OpenClaw. Maybe I and my life is just too simple, and I’ve admittedly not invested a huge effort into spending countless hours watching breathless YouTubers

I think for many practical purposes the frontier open weight models are almost universally good enough for most things. There may be greater and greater frontiers but at q certain point it becomes like IQ. Having a 150 IQ doesn’t mean you’l

The problem is there’s a real wall on the vram side. While fused main memory is ok the inference speeds on larger models are impractical. With vram on a GPU the machine class, power requirement, GPU costs, and other factors put them out of

Open weight models don’t allow central oversight. That’s the difference.

A thumb drive would be even harder but more obvious in its purpose. The bulb is good because it hides in plain sight. But it requires being within sight to be meaningful. But once it is it’ll be broadcasting its existence over standard prot
