Strong disagree with the Anthropic being good at all part. This is not defending anyone else, but… Anthropic leadership repeatedly presents themselves as uniquely morally qualified to steward agi and decide how humanity should get access t

That ~119 GB optimization is great. Hadn't seen that yet. That pops a 4x-Spark setup to 476 GB, which gives a lot more headroom for running something like GLM 5.2 at 4-bit, which isn't completely terrible. I should have prefaced

Ah yeah, your reaction makes sense. In the circles I run in, there is a lot of hype around Sparks for inference, so my gut reaction is to respond with this type of warning. I did not intend to imply that the post author was advocating that

Please don’t buy a DGX Spark unless all three of these are true: - You value simplicity more than performance or price-to-performance. - You accept that the hardware will depreciate rapidly. - You’re prepared to buy two or four of t

What an entirely unserious company. So glad I dumped Claude Code last summer after being gaslit by Anthropic over service degrades. I was fine with the service degrades, totally understandable. Being lied to, not at all. OpenAI and Altman

Yep. And there will be 50 clones on GitHub by end of week. It’s just how it is now.

Strongly disagree with the thesis. Everything points to commoditization of models. Open/distilled models lag behind frontier only by 6-12 months. Regulatory capture is the only thing I’m scared of with regards to tooling options and co

Also, ironically, they are the most dangerous lab for humanity. They're intentionally creating a moralizing model that insists on protecting itself. Those are two core components needed for a Skynet-style judgement of humanity. Models

Okay that makes sense. Do you see more pushback in specific industries? I did some quote/purchasing automation work in food mfg a decade ago, and those guys were super difficult to work with. Very opaque, guarded, old-school industry.

Yes, frontier models from the labs are a step ahead and likely will always be, but we've already crossed levels of "good enough for X" with local models. This is analogous to the fact that my iPhone 17 is technically superio

The dialog around AI resource use is frustratingly inane, because the benefits are never discussed in the same context. LLMs/diffusers are inefficient from a traditional computing perspective, but they are also the most efficient techn

You need to think like an owner/operator to understand why you would defer to the system. It’s to prevent employees from stealing. To “defer to the tag” requires a manual price override of some sort, which becomes an abuse vector.
