Same probably goes for slot machines if you strip them of all the bright, flashy colours and comforting sounds and make it a black metal box, with only a number display. Its almost like... it was inherently designed to be as addictive as po

Genuinely curious, what is the benefit of doing this over just programming it yourself? It sounds to me like this is just an extra step that will grant you less control? When programming a feature, you are simultaneously doing at least four

Yeah, thats likely true to some extent. But my point is perhaps a "counter-thought" to the idea that this is ASI level intelligence and that math is now a computer task and not a human one. If it is incapable of moving maths forwa

Except it is very easy to verifiy whether or not someone has used a nuclear bomb, where as LLM's can be used in complete secrecy. MAD only works if you can verify that the other part is not using it.

How have we got to the place we are today then? Someone must have made the first steps onto uncharted territory, otherwise we would be in a homogeneous state frozen in time. I am not saying that LLM intelligence can not be the same, that th

LLM’s seem very good at solving mathematical problems of which there is an enormous amount of exisiting work/attempts in their training data. This is an amazing capability, but does not convince me that these models are «thinking» or «

I’m running Qwen3.8-27B-Unleashed UD-Q3_K_XL, which is a ~12.3 GiB Q3 quant, fully offloaded to the 16 GB 9070 XT. I disabled the vision projector to save VRAM and use one inference slot, Flash Attention, Q4 KV cache, --fit off, and --ctx-c

I got Qwen3.8-27B running on my RX 9070 XT by setting up AMD’s ROCm 7.14/TheRock runtime for gfx1201 and adding the required HIP/LLVM paths to Windows. The official llama.cpp ROCm build detected the card correctly, but kept crashi

Running Q3 on my AMD RX 9070XT. 32k context and 32/TPS. Apart from the context window preventing it from doing any large tasks, this thing is seriously powerful. I could probably push it to 64k context. Local open models are the future

Hardly an accurate statement. Harnessed LLM’s are clearly capable at finding an answer to a mathematical problem in a pool of existing attempts by mathematicians, but I highly doubt that it will be able to solve math that it does not have m

When does the intense planning just become programming in a natural language though? And at that point, it just becomes less accurate coding. I feel like this is the biggest trade off when it comes to agentic coding. You are practically tra

Not sure about their other departments, but at least in March there was no LLM coding in their Source2 & game teams. https://x.com/ZPostFacto/status/2035784300575305895

I am no insider and have never even tried to build an LLM, so I can only guess. But the general sentiment seems to be that this is the case. If you are interested, I would recommend you read the MIT paper "Superposition Yields Robust N

This is likely true. I think model quality has stagnated and that its likely a non-trivial task to find a new improvement vector. Scaling the width of the model (which has been the driving force behind the speed of improvement thus far) see

Do you understand how LLM's work and that they are always behind in their knowledge? Unless Claude does a network call to check its own website, it will give you outdated information. Its a prediction model, its not magic.

You’re generalizing too much here. One of the biggest problems with LLM’s today is in-fact that they are not at the level being advertised. This is not solely a case of regulation standing in the way of a «revolution».
