Good points. Though GPT 5.5 Instant does beat out 5.6 Luna non-thinking 34 to 27 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.[1][2] This could mean it is optimised for non-reasoning perfomance. So even if beaten on cost and performance, it co

If Luna is so good and cheap, I'm wondering why ChatGPT Free users still only have access to GPT 5.5 Instant. The API pricing for chat-latest is the same as Sol(!),[1] while Luna is 25× cheaper [2]. Even assuming highly inflated API pr

Surely it was meant to be "Gwen" (the protagonist's cousin and the other main character in the show). I guess it was somehow (incorrectly) assumed to be a misspelling of Qwen and included in the tags. Or perhaps many people

My disdain is for the fact that hundreds of millions of Indians cannot access higher education in their native language, and instead of simply learning a foreign language as a subject like the rest of world, they have the bear the burden[1]

You should take that up with the IMO then, or all of European Union. They provide services in ~two dozen languages.

It is not "supremacist" to believe that depriving hundreds of millions of people from higher education in their native language is deeply unjust. This reflection was prompted by a comment on why Indian languages are not represente

Yes, and there's also languages of ex-USSR countries, whose competitors presumably all understand Russian, and so on. The real reason might be that there's an enormous class of self-loathing elites in India who actively despise th

The blog itself reads as if it was written by an LLM. (e.g. "This isn't about X, it's about Y." "... is timely ..." "X isn't Y".) Weird. And it has been discussed to death already: Beware General

I see, I wasn't aware of that. The earliest attempt I knew of was from May 2024,[1] while this gpt-4-vision attempt is from November 2023. I guess Claude Plays Pokemon was the first attempt that had any real success (won a badge), and

Claude Plays Pokemon was the original concept and inspiration behind "Gemini Plays Pokemon". Gemini arguably only did better because it had access to a much better agent harness and was being actively developed during the run. See

The "first MP3", without the background music, and just the voice, sounds a lot better to me than the original I listened to on YouTube. I liked the MP3 more. Any way for me to find similar stuff? Just a good voice singing stuff,

It implies that either they themselves are even more reprehensible and irredeemable, or the majority of US voters are so morally bankrupt that they prefer reprehensible and irredeemable candidates. The latter is probably true, but why woul
