Be careful that you are not basing your argument on whether you personally like lemonade. If a kid's lemonade stand increased its revenue from $1B/year to $100B/year in two years, we would be paying serious attention to their

That's only true if the value of keeping your data and code private is zero. And in that case, Anthropic and OpenAI subscription plans may be even cheaper per day.

Yeah but you can probably have everything ready and then accelerate as necessary. Meta itself did this when releasing Llama 4, it was a really botched release right when they were feeling the heat from DeepSeek and others.

Based on the benchmarks, it seems that Muse Glimmer barely edges out against Qwen3.6 27B, except for tool-calling skills (MCP, etc.). I wouldn't be surprised if they released it now because they are afraid they wouldn't beat Qwen3

This will have general inflationary consequences for consumer products (phones, consoles, laptops, etc.). On top of current uncertainties regarding oil and fertilizers, I think 2% inflation in the US and Europe would be a very optimistic ta

Jevons Paradox is called a paradox because it is non-intuitive. It is very intuitive to conclude that when costs go up, people will use less of that thing.

I meant that the current business model of the hyperscalers is highly profitable, and that model is selling compute that you could build yourself but you'd rather not to. If OpenAI or Anthropic default because people prefer open source

Profit margin determines whether OpenAI and Anthropic survive. The hyperscalers would be fine with a model where they make huge investments in infrastructure and you pay to access them per use/per hour. That is already their model for

When the Wright Brothers first came to Europe in 1908, their prototype could fly for several kilometers of controlled flight. The best European prototypes at that time were absolutely inferior, which is why the Wright Brothers immediately m

Anthropic is perceived as the leading AI company in the world. Even if they started selling inference alone, people would prefer to pay them a premium for it rather than figuring out how to operate opencode or other replacements. Add to tha

It's the end of many eras, all at once. I think the same dilemma will appear for games, music and film too. As our ability to detect AI content deteriorates most authors will resort to it, at varying degrees.

Because there are many legitimate uses for nucleotide synthesis, and we would have to slow scientists down by adding more regulation. The other problem is that it's not like it's very difficult to do it, so a motivated person coul

A lot of people here are focusing on ADHD, but I think the author is commenting on a different phenomenon, because they were able to concentrate before and now it's just much harder. I feel it and many people I talk to feel it as well.

A very pleasant and informative read. The hypothesis that climate change was the primary cause of what came after seems plausible.

If you invest into chips that deprecate in value really fast, not utilizing them to their full capacity because of power constraints would be counter productive.

He tried with a tiny model (gemma3:4b), got a range from 66 to 99. Then tried again with a small model (gemini 3.1 flash lite), the range was 48 to 64. Would a frontier model be more consistent? Perhaps this tool was optimized for more capa

I wonder what kind of scheme the administration is up to. The obvious play is a squeeze where OpenAI and Anthropic are forced to give parts of their company away, like Intel. But they could also be toying with the idea of limiting frontier

You moved the goalposts. The government controlling what openai can and cannot do is completely different than they gating access out of their own volition.
