Being profitable isn't the same as sustainable. Even a simple shop isn't profitable for months if it needs to buy stock up front, and run some ads to let people know about it. The money for that comes from the shop owners as an in

I ran my custom agentic SQL debugging benchmark against it and I'm impressed. Results: 8 passed, 0 failed, 17 errored out of 25 That puts it right between Qwen3.5-4B (7/25) and Nanbeige4.1-3B (9/25) for example, but it took o

OpenAI seems to do reasonably well at attracting capital investment without profits. As did Amazon, Google, Meta etc etc.

It depends a lot on the kind of campaign that is fought. The US had complete air superiority in Iraq and Afghanistan and while it helped it is unclear how it would play out in a drone-heavy battlefield. In Afghanistan for example the assaul

It's well know everyone is making great money on inference . The cost is training. Whether GPT-5 was profitable to run depends on which profit margin you’re talking about. If we subtract the cost of compute from revenue to calculate

What is the point - exactly - of profit? Profit is money you can't find a use for to grow your business, so you give some of it to the government in the form of tax. Also there is a big difference between operational expenses and capit

That isn't true. The whole point it to quickly pick up statistically significant variations quickly, and with the volume of tests they are doing there is plenty of data. If you turn on the 95% CI bands you can see there is plenty of st

Xiaomi Mimo v2-Flash is fantastic . I have a relatively hard personal agentic benchmark, and Mimo v2-Flash scores 8% higher in 109 seconds for $0.003 (0.3 cents!) vs Haiku which took 262 seconds for $0.24 (24 cents) Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite P

Strong disagree. I love AI because I love building things and it lets me build more things I like faster. If anything it's anti-capitalist: For example I built a software bluetooth proxy for Docker that let me use the underlaying BT de

I mean you can run a 1T model on consumer hardware now by doing things like layer offloading and streaming from SSD. It's just too slow to be useful.

I think the correct way of viewing this war is around internal White House power games. I don't think Trump himself particularly cares about Iran (or indeed Israel) - as in I don't think he has strong heartfelt views or moral conv

Not sure about the comparison to the SR-71, but the more interesting comparison was with the US XB-70[1] which ended up cancelled but the MIG-25 was designed to intercept[2]. Ironically the XB-70 was also stainless steel - but it still wa

I agree it is behind - but usually only a few days. I'm a big fan of the VS Code add-in. Despite the current narrative that IDEs are dead, I find the ability to look at multiple things at once is works much better in some kind of.. GUI

I mean I guess but the diffusion objective and the ability to do simultaneous decode both dictate pretty different architectures in practice.

I'm looking forward to comparing this to Inception 2 (the text diffusion model) which in my experience is very fast and reasonably high quality.
