Yup, reads like the typical announcement from the Apache Foundation era, where projects just go to wither. This leaves me quite bummed out. After Oso[0] went from a superb open source policy evaluation solution to one that's completely

Which are the other ones that come to your mind? I know of PathQuery[0], but that one doesn't have an open source implementation and is much more inspired by Graph query languages than SQL. [0]: https://arxiv.org/abs&#x

AMD is incompetent on the ecosystem layer, but Nvidia has certainly been acting malicious. I've laid out my thesis at length in past comments, which I don't care to repeat, but the gist is: During the ~2010-2014 period (the time w

If Nvidia were interested in "open" AI, they would spend time to collaborate with AMD, etc. to build an (updated) open alternative to CUDA. That's probably the most closed part of the whole stack right now.

That used to be the case much more strongly in the past. At least dominant players now much more often expect institutions to buy bulk licenses for their students, because if they don't, the students won't have practical knowledge

Keeping it simple in that regard will just drive even more enterprise users into the arms of Microsoft.

It sounded like they were very careful to always mention that those improvements were for ChatGPT, so I'm very skeptical that they translate to the API versions of GPT-5.

It seems obvious, but I also don't think it's optimal depending on what you are trying to do. In some scenarios, e.g. bad mobile internet connection, you may also be happy with a slightly stale result (where you still have to ensu

Would it really matter? Normally you use those small local models because you don't have the memory to spare for a larger model, so the real question would be: Is an alloy of Qwen3-8B and OpenThinker-7B better than a Qwen3-15B? Beyond
