It's pretty much the same as when "installing programs on your computer" is called "sideloading". Deliberately deceptive, weaponized language to make it seem like a bad thing.

Not every weight is quantized. For example, those weights which don't take much space or are highly important are left in higher precision. State-of-art quantization of weights is never done uniformly (i.e. to all weights and in th

The model is natively quantized (i.e. it was trained that way in the first place, so this is not a post-training quantization which degrades performance).

Yes, I would agree with this. I think it works best when you're using the agent in a more hands-on way with a targeted prompt. If you're obsessive about code quality like I am (so you thoroughly review and, when needed, reprompt o

Depends on which exact model we're talking about, and on your salary. For example, with the $40/month Kimi Code subscription the limits are so generous that you can use it every day all the time for everything (basically just have

Are you kidding? The main difference here is not that DeepSeek's model is completely free of censorship (although I'd wager it's less censored), but that it's open-weight . That has two major advantages: 1) If Anthrop

It'd be nice if you could add a separate leaderboard for open-weight models on your results page (or add the ability to filter-out proprietary models). Also, why use an agent for this? This doesn't make much sense to me, consideri
