I'm on Twitter and Carmack doesn't seem to talk about it much. Feels like a skunkworks. If there were enough clues made public, it seems others (OpenAI) would be able to take that info and scoop the insight first.

Depends what you're coding! If you've got code where you don't mind them training on it, that's great! But some people have use cases where they are working with data or code that shouldn't be trained on, etc. The N

Just a reminder that if you want to try this via OpenRouter, DeepSeek openly trains on all of your prompts. So maybe don't go using this to solve the last unforced step of Navier-Stokes. (Or wait until some other providers start hostin

Neat idea for a website! My tiny search indexer is going through now, and not finding any problems with indexing your site so far. If you see a Go program in your logs accessing with a 10 second delay between each page... hi! :D Looking at

If you're only concerned about Google, then that's probably all you need to / can do. It won't even matter to Google whether or not you put a "Sitemap:" line in your robots.txt if you submitted it directly with

Me again! I couldn't figure out why I was getting transient errors on that Poe2wiki sitemap, so I tried looking at other sitemaps on the site. I'm getting transient errors on all of them. Then I realized - the sitemap files are be

Some of this might just be problems with the websites themselves. With the Path Of Exile 2 Wiki example, I'm looking at the sitemaps. Once you get through the first sitemap of nested sitemaps (ugh, not a fan of those), the very first a

Have you added a robots.txt and a sitemap.xml, even an RSS file? While I don't know if this will help with Google, I have my own tiny dumb search indexer, and a sitemap is by far the easiest way for me to index an entire website. I&#

Do you find any of the general use skills useful? I'm not sure I've ever used any of them, and when I've looked at them it's been some YouTuber trying to make money. That, and their Substack. I know everyone's down

I'm sad about the lyrics restrictions. I used to have interesting conversations with Claude about music, and songwriting and lyrics. I don't see how my use was harming artists, if anything Claude was introducing me to new artists

While I actually agree with you (though, outsourcing to lowest bidder would account for much of what you're seeing with humans), I just saw Bug Hunt Bench scores that gave me some pause: https://x.com/PawelHuryn/st

But that one was posted today, and it's in reference to this event. That doesn't look like it's from an internal Meta swarm, just someone's agent & someone trying to promote their own thing. And what they've mad

This is so so weird. Astra is 61. Grok is 61. Even Muse is 61. Even Kimi K3 & GLM 5.3 are at 60. Everything above 61 is Anthropic. Well, Muse can reach 62, but for some weird reason that model isn't publicly available, and it&#x2

They must do, surely? I've been vibe coding my own harness, in particular for use with Ox Alpha. The 429 downtime when Ox Alpha was at the height of popularity quickly gave me a refresher crash course on backoff strategies, like adding

Yeah, I really like GLM 5.3 Flash with vision. Reminds me of when Claude was lots of fun to work with. It does feel slow, thinking away on the Chinese servers, but it's so incredibly cheap that for a lot of tasks I don't mind it t

Even 4.8 has its quirks. I just had a bizarre session tonight where it essentially did no work in the whole session and just told me to go to sleep. I'm used to the "go to sleep" thing, but not to it dodging the work. That&#x

I have a Pismo G3, so running Haiku on that would also be of interest to me (and I hadn't seen Tabby-PPC before)... though honestly I'm probably going to keep that machine as the PPC OS X & Classic machine that it is. If I can

Looks pretty good from the web page! How does this differ from Decent Sampler though? There's probably obvious differences but I haven't had a chance to dive into figuring that out for myself. You should see if you can get a menti

AudioThing, TAL and Modartt have Linux versions as well. Korneff Audio is moving in that direction, but not everything is ported over yet.

The Chinese models are open weights, so they can host & finetune them in the EU. Mistral is calling them "European Compute Units". Mistral has pivoted to become a hosting provider of open weight LLMs. "Mistral’s platform

My understanding is that the AI policy is more to do with issues of copyright and code provenance. They want to make sure that all of their code is cleared with no risk of accidentally using 'stolen' code or GPL code repeated by a

Just a heads-up for those trying it out, I've found a couple of regressions in Beta 6 that rendered my Haiku system unbootable, until I remembered about hammering the space key during the boot sequence to get to the safe mode menu. In
