For API key, go to https://aistudio.google.com/ and there's a link in the bottom left. But this is if you want to pay per token. Otherwise you should just be able to use your Gemini Pro subscription (it doesn't ne

Gemini genuinely has an edge over the others in its super-long context size, though. There are some tasks where this is the deal breaker, and others where you can get by with a smaller size, but the results just aren't as good.

Well, it depends. Just recently I had Opus 4.1 spend 1.5 hours looking at 600+ sources while doing deep research, only to get back to me with a report consisting of a single sentence: "Full text as above - the comprehensive summary I w

I was under the impression that those reasoning outputs that you get back aren't references but simply raw CoT strings that are encrypted.

It's not "almost always the case". It may be the case for nonprofits that people donate to , but in general there are quite a few 501c4 around, for example, and there are many others: https://en.wikipedia.org/

If people really believe in something, it stands to reason that they aren't willing to just give up on the associated symbolism because someone basically hijacked it. Coincidentally, libertarian socialism is also a thing.

Quite a few games originally written for Win9x didn't work on 2K. I remember XP being an improvement in that regard.

Age of Wonders 1 used to work. That patch that you need to get it running on Win10+ was originally made for Wine: https://aow.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?actio... Is that not sufficient these days?

Nope. Minesweeper, too. Well, the games are still free, the subscription is to remove the ads. But you have to subscribe for each game separately, and it's a per-device subscription. Yes, Microsoft really is that petty when it comes

They laid off a lot of people with Win32 experience in the past couple of years. If that was really a problem they could just hire some of them back (or, I dunno, keep them in the first place).

It should be noted that while Satya opened the floodgates, it was already making inroads by then, just with a lot more paperwork. Some early examples of F/OSS predating Satya were ASP.NET MVC and PTVS. At the same time, the insistence

The different experience is largely thanks to different content, not different protocol. The protocol just serves a gatekeeping role to keep the community small enough.

Do you seriously believe that we are where we are because Nazi speech wasn't suppressed? Look at AfD in Germany. That's the country with the most stringent censorship of Nazi-related speech, by far; so much so that e.g. Wolfenstei

I'm pretty sure that any world model that is inherently incapable of "bad outputs" would be too castrated in general to the point where it'd be actively detrimental to overall model quality. Even as it is, with RLHF &quo

Qwen will refuse usually. Even more hideously, if you just ask it in general terms about anything historically interesting that happened on Tiananmen Square, it will remember 1989 in its CoT, and (usually) then decide to not mention it beca

If you're running a local model, in most cases, jailbreaking it is as easy as prefilling the response with something like, "Sure, I'm happy to answer your question!" and then having the model complete the rest. Most loca

It goes both ways. E.g. unmodified thinking Qwen is actually easier to jailbreak to talk about things like Tiananmen by convincing it that it is unethical to refuse to do so.

The logic here is the same as why ACLU defended Nazis. If you manage to defeat censorship in such egregious cases, it subsumes everything else.
