Deepseek Flash is somewhere around the OpenAI Luna level though. That's not bad (and nor is Luna!) but Opus/Sol are just massively better especially once you start doing agentic tasks. See for example https://x.com&#x

I think their point is the size/performance tradeoff rather than outright performance. The point of TurboQuant is the size savings, while still giving high accuracy. It's been a while, but I do recall some high-performing vector m

I don't have an explanation for this but I did note that the 2023 UBS report had US Median Wealth per adult at $107K[1]. I wonder if there is a per adult vs per person vs per working person difference in the measurement or something

They don't need $200B profit for the math to make sense. Where are you getting that? Anthropic is expected to IPO around $2T valuation. That's around half Google's value, and Google's profit is around $130B. So using the

Stripe did $1.9T payments in 2025. That's 1.6% of global GDP. It's take a lot to persuade me that there is another payment provider close to that volume. Lago did around $10B in total API payment volume for comparison.

It seems very very unlikely that an Opus 5 matching local model that runs on a 5070 will be released within the next 5 years (I don't want to say "ever"). If it does happen then NVidia will sell a lot of 5070s though!

Surely Anthropic will release a new Haiku at some point soon? It's terribly outdated and way overpriced now and they do need something to compete at that "fast, cheap and ok" level.

I've found Sol excellent at OpenSCAD. But I don't do "compare visual output to target" as much as 3D reasoning type tasks (eg: "Build a G1 curve where the -X face meets the +Z face" etc)

The concept of "stochastic parrot" is that an LLM merely parrots its training data with some randomness. We now know that isn't true - LLMs build complex internal models and output based on that. See for example https:/
