The design on the system is specifically done to make that impossible because you control the encryption keys and they can't see your data. It nearly works except for the annoying hardware signing keys. With OHTTP it might still be

Yes, it's entirely possible to do that via RL. It'd be a fun little project you could do for less than $100 on a small LLM actually.

The argument is that all GPUs are currently appreciating (!!) Google is still running 10 year old Tesla T4s at full capacity. This is way beyond the expected lifetime.

Memory is unlikely to drop in price before mid-2027 when new capacity starts to come online. The GPU shortage looks to be even longer lived.

Their models are much smaller: 1T vs 5T for the frontier models. 1T is Sonnet/Google Flash size, not Opus size. The $0.87/M tokens price for Mimo Pro is probably subsidized. Mimo models aren't widely available on western prov

Actually in this case they possibly are estimates. It's been known for some years[1] that LLMs do regression in-context. Frontier models have been trained against many, many issue text that include task break downs and estimates. [

In the long term all is dust. NVIDIA has at least 2 years of solid revenue growth ahead of it. Beyond that people are dreaming about doing predictions anyway.

It might pay you to look at the numbers. Last quarter: Goog: $109B revenue, $62B in profit. NVIDIA: $81B revenue, $58B in profit. NVIDIA is growing faster. I agree about Telsa though.

Qwen 3.5 35B A3 Qwen models are always good. The 35B A3 model is a MoE model which means it has higher performance in RAM constrained environments compared to the 27B dense model (which is better at coding). I don't have experience to

Anthropic explicitly state that they don't do this, even if you use the free plan and even if you don't opt-out of letting them use your data for training: "We do not sell users’ data to third parties." https:/
