Was the choice of such a small model driven by a desire for high tok/sec? I ask because an m4 pro 48gb machine can run larger models (if model intelligence is the thing that would make it more useful).

Is there a page where I could read more? What's unintuitive at a glance is that Opus 4.7 has a lower success rate than Sonnet 4.6 (90% vs 100%) while having a higher Avg Percentile (87.2% vs 70.9%).

The article kind of downplays the most interesting elements. Not an expert, but to my limited understanding: * I think this is the longest-range use of a ballistic missile in anger, possibly ever? * This seems to reveal previously-unknown r

I think the average is ballpark 1 per 100 million miles, so my guess is that someday they might show this, but they probably want to wait til they have more miles driven.

I agree with this; it feels like the most likely tool to drop its high-level comments in code comments.

This model was able to transcribe Bad Bunny lyrics over the sound of the background music, played casually from my speakers. Impressive, to me.

That repo is throwing up a 404 for me. Question - did you consider tradeoffs between duckdb (or other columnar stores) and SQLite?

The article explicitly says that the aircraft is safe. I don't think this is particularly clickbait-y.

Waymo was on a roll in San Francisco. It still is, but it used to be, too. (With apologies to Mitch.) This is utter sensationalism. Fortunately, the state's regulations have liberated the good people of SF from being able to shoot ours
