I would gladly take a worse experience than to have my favored LLM vendor partner with an Elon company.

there's no way around it... anyone who voted for this administration bears responsibility for the stupid stuff they pull all the single issue voters who cared only about crypto, or no wars, or this or that and couldn't see themsel

it also sounds like a lot to manage, do you have some sort of agentic framework that's treating all of these llm's you have access to as sort of inputs that it optimizes?

I do have fond memories of my TI-82 (we couldn't afford the fancier 84 or 89). I wonder, though, after all these years did Texas Instruments corner the market and obtain an monopoly on allowed calculators for proctored tests or ... bec

very, very cool thanks for making this.

Fair. Anyway I’ll look at benchmarks.

All the downvotes are from Elon Stan’s. Think on your sins. ;-)

How do the grok models fare in coding challenges to say gpt 5.5 and opus 4.6/4.7? I hate giving Elon any money. The man is a net negative to society but … if the models are objectively better then logically I must no?

I never know why this keeps getting downvoted, is HN really full of investors and not engineers? why do you want buy backs and not R&D?

by gigatexal 6mo ago
I wish they’d stop doing buy backs and invest 100B in R&D … imagine what they could do in battery tech or otherwise.

Are they sure? Portland is a special kind of crazy. I can say this cuz I’m a native now living in Berlin. locals are going to trash the cars and do all sorts of damage.

lol "principles" like Sam Altman has any ... All the major AI shops are out trying to be the king of the jungle -- I don't think there can be a market in the end for all of them to be worth 2T+ giants.

The chip has a ton of rancid built into it what GPU are we buying to do what?

by gigatexal 6mo ago
This is the delulu Linux world thinking all over again. “Just get one with no dGPU, just this chipset, just this and this escoteric thing” and you’ll be fine.

I had a P14 Thinkpad for work and had all sorts of issues with Wayland and streaming and what not. There's no issues on the Mac side things just work.

my wife and I discovered Brompton's here in Berlin and now we have 2. we love them. we wouldn't travel around teh city without them. they're amazing. expensive, but well built, and hold their value like crazy.

Interesting. I would love your test but for code. If I were to forgo my claude subscription for a Chinese cloud hosted model or local models running on my own hardware I'd use them mostly for code. the thing is I've tried to come

I am both a monthly supporter of the Asahi project and a full-time macOS user. Why? I love to support hackers. But I am also a realist and have given up on the idea of a linux laptop that "just works" and have embraced teh first p

Interesting that 4.7 failed like that. Seems 5.5 is impressive but is oh so expensive. Would be interesting if you ran your same test with Deepseek v4 and some of the other Chinese models.

what's the real world comparison to opus 4.7 fellow coders?

Has anyone used it? How does it compare to gpt 5.5 or opus 4.7?
