I have no problem running two or three sequences of qwen 27B with a 3090. It's basically the recommended way, LLM inference without batching is super inefficient.

Most people probably don't care about nginx performance. It shouldn't be your bottleneck unless you serve massive amounts of static data.

You don't really need to train a 10T model to test cerebras against a 10T model. You can feed it an untrained (randomly initialized) model and benchmark it. Result will be gibberish but performance the same.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it didn't actually generate CP, it changed people into bikinis, not actual nudity. You can go to the beach or (I assume) search on Google and find people of any age wearing bikinis. And that's fin

Obviously the missing part (which we already have for software and math) is that we need agents to be able to run automated loops in the real world. That basically requires robots. I think we'll be there in less than 5 years.

Usually at least here it's tens of thousands of laws like "replace article 3 paragraph 2 with:" and it's not like you can ctrl f "lemonade stand" and get something useful. A strong llm without that knowledge ca

The human genome is 800MB, (and 500MB with compression according to GPT) so that part is easy. I think the problem is that the conversation drifted from "all useful human knowledge" to "enough knowledge to do my job". Bo

I think a specialized model could squeeze all you need to know about a certain profession in 30GB. But not all professions at once, which is what these models try to do. Or maybe not, maybe there's a world model needed for human level

It's definitely trained on generating SVGs. Not that they trained on the pelican prompt itself, but probably a more general RL step that has it generate SVG and a stronger vision model judges it. It's up to you if that counts as b

Asking it factual information[1]. You just can't compress the entire human knowledge into a 30GB file. [1] Without searching the internet. And even if you allow it, you'll get much worse results because search means browsing and p

Yep. These small models are actually worse than GPT 3.5 at some tasks (like recalling facts). You can definitely make models smarter at specific tasks (like tool calling, coding) but you can't compress the entire human knowledge into a

Benchmarks mean very little. The difference between Luna and Sol in the real world is massive.

Almost surely the free model on the web ui. So a dumb model, no harness, and probably a bad prompt.

Yeah [1] is really a thing and SlopCodeBench ( https://www.scbench.ai/ ) kind of measures that. You need to manually push models to clean up the slop every now and then otherwise it becomes chaotic. And every change with LLMs

I'm sure Grok 4.6 is not Fable level. Benchmarks are almost useless. Having said that, Grok 4.6 (1.5T params) is without a doubt way smaller than Fable, maybe a Fable sized Grok would be Fable level?

That's pretty surprising. Idk about Grok 4.6, but Grok 4.5 was clearly below Fable, Opus 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol.

It's a bit worse. I haven't tried so it's pure speculation based on benchmarks, but I'd assume Grok 4.6 is around Opus 4.8 in real world use, but clearly below Opus 5.

They're improving but you definitely need both a strong AGENTS.md and also usually many LLM passes (one for implementing a feature, another one for code quality, large passes every now and then for major refactors, etc). That's no

Obviously sleep is necessary. I'm saying that there isn't always a large pressure to minimize sleep. Long sleep can be beneficial just to preserve energy.

You definitely see a bit of this in other primates. They sleep on trees (much safer) and for a lot more hours than humans.
