Pretty clear they are defending against (a) AI scrapers (b) impending age verification requirements. Honestly, requiring login is probably the least they could do with old Reddit to keep it running with those two constraints.

It's probably a mix of things but I do think they are viewing "edge AI" as their strategic play: on-device, small efficient models (Android / iOS) and instant AI summaries in google search etc. So all of their focus is o

I think the subscriptions pay them back in spades because the same dev who maxes out their subscription on their personal account transfers that exact behaviour over to their enterprise work and - guess what - it's all billed per token

yes... I think for startups there's a strong desire to demonstrate technical independence - there's a strong smell with looking like a wrapper on Anthropic or OpenAI. With an open model you can weave a story where you are exercisi

this for me was one of the truly liberating parts of LLMs for me: simply being able to ask a question and get a straight answer without having to run the gauntlet of why I shouldn't be doing what I am trying to do in the first place. T

The obvious burning question is how performance looks over different network conditions on some standard models. Have you done much benchmarking? Is it mainly latency affected or is overall throughput less than the capacity of the GPUs due

I'll throw a shout out to the new Google Translate practice feature - it generates sentences around a theme you specify and speaks them to you at varying speeds in your native and learning languages.

Yes it has completely turned me around - was all in on Anthropic but now it just looks too risky. Better off leaning into open models. Even if I found a way to work with the restrictions as they are, who is to say they won't suddenly c

Good to see Meta finally back to releasing something at least worth evaluating. And it sounds like they did at least a bit skate to where the puck is going by focusing on tool and computer use.

Yes and Zuck effectively disbanded the entire team that did that. Not saying we shouldn't cast a critical eye on it, but it probably does warrant a second chance.

Hard not to reflexively reference the XKCD here. I think the authors of most charting languages would say they look good by default. It seems more likely this is achieving a subjectively different presentation than something objectively be

I can't decide if this will make science better or be the death of it. The potential wave of slop about to hit journals is frightening. Essentially what happened with GitHub code reviews is about to hit academic peer reviews and it isn

That's a great write up. The one thing I feel it seems to under estimate is the likelihood of improvement. Even the authors acknowledge it's not even worth comparing local models from a year ago to what we have now. In fact, peopl

Now you get not just the 5 LoC to review but a 5 page essay to read in the form an auto-generated review as well. Which makes the submitter even more indignant when you start nit picking things about how it's implemented.

I've tried so many of these and paid for a lot of them and I still can't find what I want. It sounds like this is closer than most: - record and separate two sides of the conversation - save meetings in a simple transcription form
