Nice. Are you working on it for "fun" or as a lab? I am looking into building a semi-professional cluster + setting up a lab, but the investment needed is beyond what I could justify as a hobby.

Yes, Brave search is one of these services I highly recommend paying for, the search they provide (similar to Exa, Tavily) is what makes an "OK LLM" become super smart.

10 years worth of Claude Max today. Also - Anthropic recently removed a model I relied on and isn't giving it back. As a non-US citizen, I would rather pay in advance but be sure, I will keep having access to inference on my own terms.

I love running two models locally: qwen3.6 27B 8bit (dense) and qwen3.6 35B 4bit (MoE). The 27B is the smarter, more reliable one - but it is slower. The 35B is faster, still very smart but below 27B, a bit less reliable. The reason is the

I run the exact same model, on the exact same hardware - amazing results. Pair it with good search skills (Tavily, Brave, Exa) and you have a near-SOTA model on your desk.

I recommend MacBook M5 Max with 128 GB of RAM to run it comfortably and fast. If you have something like a regular M4, go with qwen3.6-35b-a3d - the Mixture of Expert architecture makes it run 2-3x faster than the 27b version.

I have created this in 3 different ways, also with e2b.dev (great service). And yeah, that is my problem - I spend 99% of time hacking cool stuff, 1% yapping about it. Should do more yapping.

From a European perspective, based on the assumption API inference cannot be trusted anymore -> it means investing in local inference + building harnesses that can squeeze out all the power from the best open weights models.

Besides the language being Latin vs local languages, there is one huge difference people don't know about. The Tridentine Mass has the priest facing toward the altar and the tabernacle, this is called "ad orientem". In "

Yes and no. The LLM that sees a JSON structure can decide to use tools to extract and format data as needed, whereas it cannot do the same with natural language. The Unix philosophy of small, composable tools is still valid in the era of st

What if "the thing" is a human and another human validating the output. Is that its own output (= that of a human) or not? Doesn't this apply to LLMs - you do not review the code within the same session that you used to gener

In English it is pretty good. But talk to it in Polish, and suddenly it thinks you speak Russian? Ukranian? Belarus? I would understand if an American company launched this, but for a company being so proud about their European roots, I thi

On average, South American farmers use 2-3 times more pesticides than farmers in Europe. 2-3 times more would be illegal in Europe, but is allowed as part of Mercosur trade. Pesticides banned in Europe, but allowed in South America: Atrazin

You only need to control 2-3 chokepoints to hugely impact shipment - especially of perishables. The Panama Canal + Caribean + Gibraltar and you get no food in Europe.

Fair trade yes. Unfair trade no. And Mercosur is COMPLETELY unfair to European farmers. It imposes higher standards - and thus costs - on European farmers, while allowing South American farmers to produce with lower quality and adding forbi

I hope you won't get a reality check if one day there is a famine in Europe caused by outsourcing the entire farming to other continents. The very first thing any enemy force would do is a naval blockade, the rest is patience and lots

Europe did not colonize the world - some European countries did. I come from Poland, a country that never colonized another country, so I do not need that moral lecturing. It is not even a matter of fairness, but of defending one owns inter

> Farming is already incredibly subsidized in the EU As it should be if we don't want to wake up one fine day in the middle of a global war with no food supply because of a naval blockade and have our children starve to death.

This is a bad deal for many European countries that still have a strong farming industry, and for Europeans in general too. Once again, Germany has pushed through its interests at the expense of other European nations like Poland. This time

They leave for Germany, of all places. Germany is one of the European states with most arrests for posting entries on social media. I guess they will pack their stuff and move on in 1-2 years from now.
