I'm guessing they'll integrate with the double-tap-the-bottom-of-the-screen feature that pulls up siri in front of a screenshot. Currently it doesn't seem to hook into "visual intelligence", and needs to call out to

At least that somewhat aligns incentives between players and the game studio. If an old game has a long-lasting player base, then a modest subscription makes it more likely that the studio would keep the servers up and running, if not activ

Presumably asymmetric splits meaning A and B can talk, B and C can talk, but A and C can't talk.

I think you're correct with the standard thinking approach (just generate a big stream of tokens before drafting your actual answer). After a while, additional thinking just results in loops. The RSA approach from https://rs

Ok, I double-checked, and I get 21-22tps with lmstudio-community/LFM2-24B-A2B-Q4_K_M.gguf running under LM Studio on my i5-12400 with 2x32GB sticks of DDR4 3200. This is with small context (just "Write me a poem about a language m

This model is pretty cool if you don't have a GPU - I was able to get I think 20 or 30 tokens per second on CPU (DDR4 ram) alone. (I don't remember if that was with q4 or q8.) Otherwise, if you have a GPU with more than like 4GB o

It's not that surprising that an 8B dense model would compete with a 35B-A3B MoE model. The geometric mean rule of thumb for MoE models is that the intelligence level of an MoE model with T total parameters and A active parameters is r

The Unsloth llama.cpp guide[1] recommends building the latest llama.cpp from source, so it's possible we need to wait for LM Studio to ship an update to its bundled llama.cpp. Fairly common with new models. 1. https://unslot

By the same logic, wouldn't 4 months of severance pay be equivalent to forfeiting 92% of salary? For something paid at regular intervals like RSUs, you really should never be looking at the total value of the grant, and instead think o

Yeah, I use Kinto (which seems to be what Toshy is originally based on). A recent Ubuntu update broke it though, and I accidentally deleted my config file while trying to fix it, so maybe now's a good time to try out Toshy. Looks like

For ASR/STT on a budget, you want https://huggingface.co/nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3 - it works great on CPU. I haven't tried on a raspberry pi, but on Intel it uses a little less than 1s of CPU time per seco

This seems to be estimating based on memory bandwidth / size of model, which is a really good estimate for dense models, but MoE models like GPT-OSS-20b don't involve the entire model for every token, so they can produce more toke

I find that if I ask an LLM to explain what its reasoning was, it comes up with some post-hoc justification that has nothing to do with what it was actually thinking. Most likely token predictor, etc etc. As far as I understand, any reasoni

I like to think about it in terms of output-to-prompt ratio. For HN comments, I think an output ratio of 1 or less is _probably_ fine. Examples: - translating (relatively) literally from one language to another would be ~1:1. - au
