Okay, strange, but that’s a bug, not a web app “feeling barebones” wrt. core functionality for most users, at least IMO. Has that been reported on kagifeedback.org yet?

What do you feel is missing for a free news offering? I don’t personally like it all that much, because it feels like it’s missing the depth I like in well-written reporting, but for those who just want a quick overview of topics once a d

Generally I agree, with two caveats/thoughts: Providing not just any a baseline, but a correct and useful one, is ever more important the less the model is grounded in world knowledge – misunderstandings probably compound faster if t

Thank you so much for sharing these. I just laughed my ass off a bunch, and I’ve only yet read this one latest post in the series. My favorite bit, I think (along with the running gag of the constant use cases/connections that somehow

Good point, but to be honest, I interpreted the original comment, and worded mine with that in mind as well, to be more a critique of the “model downgrade (from frontier) due to a cybersecurity-related request” rather than a general compute

No, as the sibling comment mentioned, your understanding was correct there. What’s more, the only technical difference in speeds could be, and likely also is with the HC1 chip, between prefill (prompt processing) and decode (text generation

About five hours from now, the sections of Europe indicated on the map will experience a total solar eclipse, with other regions of the continent experiencing a partial one. The map shows feeds to watch it.

I imagine at such a low parameter count, there would be little to no world knowledge whatsoever, and the entire focus is on getting the structure of tool calling etc. right…? But yeah, in terms of “physical” AI, robotics definitely comes to

Exactly. If you can free engineering capacity from tedious busywork (fixing bugs), you have them available for implementing/delegating to implement experimental features into new revenue streams. Why fire anyone in this scenario? Growt

Well at ≈15k tps, I think the bottleneck will not be the model (reasoning or tool calling), and attention will be shifted to the harness’ engineering again. Probably, the usual initial suspects for “what makes computation slow” will becom

It’s not reasoning, the hardware demo uses a 3.-something generation Llama 8B. But it’s proven they can automate this (they didn’t etch eight billion weights by hand after all, obviously), so now the interesting question is whether they can

Not who you responded to, but I’ll give it a try. Imagine our LLM as this one-dimensional matrix (instead of unfathomably many, many more dimensions): 0.728201017 -1.9293839303 2.93020202929 5.82290101728 -0.2844920917 … And then, all of th
