My take away from this is that perhaps it’s better to not compact and instead to start new sessions whenever possible. I tell the agents to write a HANDOVER.md file that contains sufficient information to resume but not any extraneous infor

I just checked that model (ISTA-DASLab/Qwen3.8-27B-GSQ-RCO-GGUF:IQ3_S) and it does much much worse on the "Please recite Jabberwocky" test than the original bf16 does. The bf16 only misses "snicker-snack" and this q

How does that compare with the bf16 version? For my "Please recite Jabberwocky" test the bf16 almost passes but the ternary and even fp8 versions fail badly.

Wait till they start mixing every language in one sentence, and using poetic allusions that only scholars of each language would know.

Sounds great except it’s too tall to get under the bed.

In 5 years the models will probably be so much better and more compact that phones will be running models equivalent at least to Opus 4.6 if not Fable, at least within the areas they are tuned for (which probably won't include coding).

It seems to fail. I sent the prompt: “ 5° warmer” And it said: “ setting the temperature to 5°F”

As a child, I lived in Firenze (Florence, Italy) and had a pet cricket. All the kids had them, in little bamboo cages, for the Festival of the Cricket: https://www.italymagazine.com/forums/do-see/6010-festival-cr..

Love it! But 10 is a bit of a time commitment. I feel like 5 would be ideal for a daily diversion.

Anything you ever do with any non-locally-hosted model always "uploads code" to the inference provider because that's how it works: the model uses tools to inspect the code, the result of the tool use is sent in an API call t

This got a downvote and I understand why: because I didn't describe the test, which is to ask it "Please recite Jabberwocky". This is actually difficult because there are so many invented words in the poem which have extremel

Not impressed. It fails the "Jabberwocky" test.

Looks very cool. I would like to try it, but don't want to use API billing. OpenAI I think would allow it to use account login. Would you support that?

Possibly a deliberate strategy by the Chinese to undermine the US AI industry, data centers, and basically everything that’s powering the economy. Just like they did with the US steel industry in the 80s.

I wonder if this violates noncompete/no reverse engineering clauses in many or some SAAS agreements?

Seems very cool, but also opens an additional attack vector into your development machine or personal laptop as the case might be.

So all these sites like EquityZen or Forge Global or Hiive etc. who sold "shares" in these companies through SPVs are now going to lose their customer's money? How would that all play out?

The Pedometer functionality is free, and I’ve been using it for many years just because its display is pleasant. The map tracking features cost $29.95 a year.

The article complains about the keyboard layout. And they are probably right. But if you are going to use a VT-100 keyboard you might as well try an editor actually designed for that keyboard, which I remember really loving at the time. KED

I haven’t noticed this sort of behavior with opus 4.6, but the first time I used 4.7 it decided to “simplify“ an existing piece of functionality rather than fixing it, which of course made it completely unusable.

That was more than one task. It was 3. I also had Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.6 do audits of a very long document using identical prompts. I then had Codex 5.4 compare the audits. Codex found that 4.6 did a far better job and 4.7 had missed things

I am using 4.7 with the default extra high thinking, and it is clearly very stupid. It's worse than old Sonnet 4.5. I had it suggest some parameters for BCFtools and it suggested parameters that would do the opposite of what I wanted t

One explanation is that the ones who quit believed it was a real experiment and decided they wanted no part of it. The ones who were "obedient" figured out it was fake and treated it as a game.

One question is whether the participants really believed they were giving shocks to the "learners". In college I participated in a number of psychological studies that were similarly deceptive, where one of the other participants

"DON'T use pure white or pure black..." This is something I hate: gray text. Designers love it but it is often very illegible because of inadequate contrast.

MANTIC_IGNORE_PATTERNS seems not to be implemented, or am I missing something?
