I still get excited by the sheer power of current and upcoming tech It may be the same stuff we had 20 years ago, but the specs! What was a supercomputer before is now just a component in a datacenter, one of 72 per rack.

Makes sense to me. We will see, since if true then it is likely the other makers of small, dense models will copy it and include high reasoning by default. If that also makes the other dense open source models better, then you are probably

The first thing I thought was: this might make Tesla's cameras also not see your funky-patterned Yaris on the road as a car. Might want to test that first!

An electric ute? I'm interested. Seems like a good move!

I second this. Anyone considering running their own hardware would also consider quantization since they would have full control over what quant to run. The value proposition changes a lot if you can get 90% of the quality for 50% the price

Hmm. Pennywise operated on a 27 year cycle. Maybe Cthulhu does the same, but at 1MM the scale.

Very informative article. I was hazy on where NVLink sat in the local inference stack. This makes it very clear: to adapt consumer hardware that lacks multiple full x16 PCIe lanes.

I switched to Codex in November 2025 because I couldn't stand the smarmy, "You're absolutely right" anymore. Codex at the time offered less sycophancy and more pushback when I was actually wrong. I also feel it writes cl

I used this a decade ago, and it was a joy to use for someone who grew up with Macromedia/Adobe Flash scripting. In 2026, I would have thought that regular HTML/CSS would have caught up with this. Maybe it has, I don't do any

Love it! My first website was on Angelfire, and I am still at it 30 years later. It made an impression on me. But I can't think of a good play on words for Angelfire either

Gosh, why does this sound familiar to me?

His articles blow me away. Like the one where he plumbed a pair of Grace-Hopper superchips with liquid cooling for a home rig.

Very true. I would think you could say the same about xAI too, with their pivot. They don't have experience in this sphere directly.

I think boffin is a Britishism. I have heard it other places, not just on El Reg. Specifically: a lot on Top Gear when it was hosted by Clarkson.

First taste is always free! But when the 10 billionth taste continues to be free, you have to start to wonder about your dealer.

More or less our approach here too. They offered to help with our work at a loss for themselves, why not take them up on it? Not necessarily to hurt the AI labs, but just because we'd be foolish not to take something offered at such a

Correct. They theoretically updated the open weight version to the capabilities of the latest closed weight one.

Makes sense if they are planning to concede in Ukraine. The Russian economy is dependent on continued military buildup, so they will try to continue with that but go back to their cold war-era posturing with the forces and matériel produced

Does this mean that work created with it can be copyrighted? Since the courts ruled that the inclusion of pilfered IP was the reason other model's work cannot be copyrighted, I would think so! In that case, this is a completely differe

Their board of directors are literally wanted by the US for crimes. What do people expect from such a company? I shake my head any time I see a VW.

I have always taken an untrusting approach to LLMs for coding, born out of them being absolute trash at first. They're 1000x better now, but I still guide it every step of the way. It limits my speed gains, but I got what I wanted: no

It must not be that difficult since I have never used a Meta product in my life. I had a Livejournal, lol.
