The last point is ... strange. Landfills / Datacenters analogy is far fetched and you do want *local* data if you want The Internet. You know, local regions / availability zones? Maximum availability? Cut undersea cables? Even f

The defence against this is to vote these MF MEPs out and kick asses of non–elected Eurocrats. Not going to happen. Tech solution: Open GPG with PQE protocols. There is nothing else left (other than One Time Pads.) And this is just the begi

@zie1ony / OP - how do you make your clients believe you are not planting a crypto-locker or logic bomb or some other 3-letters-agencies "features"? And why would clients replace existing AI slop with your post-another-slop h

I apologise for this, the real terrifying thing that it took me 1 minute and one shot prompt on Grok to get all this – and a lot more. Just check yourself. We all are heavily royally f...d, my firend. (I found similar level of details

I personally found in my work (long non-programming business-related context, 150k+) that only Gemma 4 31B full precision and full context works reasonably well . MoE Gemma 4, even non–quantised, makes clear logical mistakes or omissions.

The privacy war has been lost in two ways (at least) 1) Running locally lobotomised models makes no sense; 2) as someone said here, the Gov will declare local AI a felony. And they will enforce it. So those "many people" will bu

Yes, "Like a car". LOL. You realise that many people in Europe and Asia do not own a car at all? Public transport, eBike / scooter, Tuk-Tuk, walk . The local LLM "privacy" war had been already lost.

What a pitiful state of programming affairs ... Just couple of years ago we have been discussing new libraries and tech architectures and algos. Today we discuss how to "shoehorn" some 3rd party crap into making your life miserabl

There is no markup for SOTA and Open Weight is super affordable - but most important completely private. Just try it.

I get similar results in my own tests. And Gemini 3.1 Pro is consistently on top of my ratings. Not everyone is coding monkey, I prefer staying a programmer.

It is too late, the Qwen 3.7 Max is above both Gemini 3.1 and Opus 4.8. And Qwen 3.7 Plus is on level with Fable. There is literally no point of paying exorbitant API prices to US Labs. And remember: it's not only about coding . Tho

My bet is actually on GLM. Z.ai does amazing work and they will overcome Western models. IMO, faster than DS or Qwen. They have amazing team and very capable and smart leader.

Fable is not the same model as Mythos but with guardrails. There are many things that were never disclosed by Project Glasswind. And probably will never be.

I concur with "Gemma 4 31B the best model I have results for". My workflow includes a lot of Gemma 4 – but dense 31B non-quantised version.(BTW I found it is most cost effective to run on Bedrock)

You will be amused to hear that when Anthropic "refreshed" 4.6 on AWS Bedrock I found it in my tests and wrote about it – and they actually rolled it back. This is how much non–coding tests may tell you about the model.

K/V cache compression and context shortening / summarisation. And yes, I suspected Quants too.
