Have you tried Redpanda?

sure, but the issue is if you make the model 30x more efficient, but you use it 300x more often (mostly for stuff nobody wants), it's still a net loss

Perhaps it's 33x less carbon-intensive, but if we do 200x more queries than a year ago, it's a net loss...

The issue is that now we're over-utilizing prompts everywhere. Every search engine query. Every keypress in an AI editor. Every new website makes queries in the back. Analyze emails. etc So it's not just about "the one query

also an average would make much more sense here than a median, but we can assume it's much higher and that might be why they don't communicate it?

Sure, but now multiply that "new use-case" that we weren't consuming before by 7 billion humans on the planet... that's the issue We can always keep adding new stuff and say each time "oh but it's small"..

I'm not sure why they would report on the median prompt, and not the average, which would give a better sense of (well average) consumption in this case

(Gouach co-founder) Yes! Our battery would be perfect for a swap business, they could easily fix damaged batteries, repair cells (only $50, instead of buying a new battery at $300 retailer price), and at the end, they could even retrieve us

We are working on larger models already, and we plan on models for LiFePO indeed! Subscribe to our newsletter if you want to be informed :) https://gouach.com

There is both! But the app obviously has a few advantages in our setup: - it gives much more detailed and fine-grained informations - it allows user (optionally) to register for automated safety alerts - but more importantly, it allows user

(Gouach co-founder) Thanks for your comment! That's exactly what we're trying to do, giving back power to people by providing them stuff that they truly own, they know how it works, they can assemble and repair them (or ask their

We're going to produce larger batteries for vespas, golf carts and scooters too! Our repairable battery is actually quite convenient even for recyclers: many studies have shown that if you can get pristine cells, without all the casing

(Gouach cofounder) There's an app which shows you the voltage level of each cell, and the battery will auto-rebalance them! For second-life cells, you indeed have to match the cells, we don't necessarily expect people to do that t

(Gouach co-founder here) Thanks for your question! You can see the exact specs on the Gouach website here https://gouach.com/products/infinite-battery-complete-kit?va... The battery itself is 3.3kg, so quite comparable

(Gouach co-founder here) Yes! that's a possibility in theory. You can just remove all the cells, which then become "inert", and the pack set aside. It then only takes 5 min to reassemble them at your arrival.

Very nice battery boxes! Our product is expected to go down in price as we increase the production. Our product also comes with a high-end connected Battery Management System (the "brain" of the battery), and with a sturdy and fir

We're only working on the battery, but we plan to open-source at least the app and make the communication protocol extensible with "plugins", in order to let users configure their batteries for any controller protocol!

(Gouach co-founder here) A lot of people would prefer to not have to care, but many of them do care because they know it's the major "consumable" part of their $3000+ e-bike investment, and they want to know if it will last l

(Gouach co-founder here) We're happy to be on the front-page, here to reply to any of your (many) questions! We've been testing our batteries for 3+ years on an existing free-floating mobility fleet with our friends from Pony in F
