3.5 Flash was more expensive than 3.1 Pro to run the Artifical Analysis test suite. $1551 for 3.5 Flash [0] vs $892 for 3.1 Pro [1]. That's 74% more cost while ranking lower. It's 2.5x as fast but I don't think the bang for

Advantage for what exactly though? I'm not saying Elo Ranking doesn't give any information. It just doesn't give the information that the OP's project claims to be able to give: that models get nerfed over time. You coul

The Elo rating system measures relative performance to the other models. As the other models improve or rather newer better models enter the list, the Elo score of a given existing model will tend to decrease even though there might be no

I don't think people are crediting Apple with inventing unified memory - I certainly did not. There have been similar systems for decades. What Apple did is popularize this with widely available hardware with GPUs that don't total

Apple Silicon uses unified memory where the CPU and GPU use the exact same memory and no copies from RAM to VRAM are needed. The article opens with mentioning just that and indeed it is the whole point of the article.

Yes but that is just a tiny part of the whole CF worker ecosystem. The other services are not open source and so the lock-in is very very real. There are no API compatible alternatives that cover a good chunk of the services. If you build y

And now you've put everything on the equivalent of a single NodeJS process running on a tiny VM. Next step: spread out over multiple durable objects but that means implementing a sharding logic. Complexity escalates very fast once you

D1 reliability has been bad in our experience. We've had queries hanging on their internal network layer for several seconds, sometimes double digits over extended periods (on the order of weeks). Recently I've seen a few times pl

Quite strong results in the benchmarks but why Gemini 3 Pro instead of 3.1? Why only for a few of the benchmarks? Why is OpenAI not there in the coding benchmarks? Why Opus 4.5 and not 4.6? Just jumps out into my eye as a bit strange. As al

After all the AI slop from Cloudflare in recent months and the embarrassment that came with it, they dare to launch this vibe coded project with THAT name on April 1st? I'm really not sure what to think anymore. Reality became too absu

People are understandably a bit sensitized and sceptical after the last AI generated blog post (and code slop!) by Cloudflare blew up. Personally I'm fine with using AI to help write stuff as long as everything is proof-read and actual

What's with the pricing of these sandbox offerings recently? I assume just trying to milk the AI trend. It's about 10x what a normal VM would cost at a more affordable hoster. So you better have it run only 10% of the time or you&

We have also a service impacted by this. There is no status acknowledgement of the severe degradation. Most of the time queries just take 2-10s, some even 20s+ and a few times they even hang indefinitely. It's a CF-internal networking

I think you can absolutely compare them and there is no added flexibility, in fact there is less flexibility. There is added convenience though. For the huge factor in price difference you can keep spare spot VMs on GCP idle and warm all

Cloudflare Containers (and therefore Sandbox) pricing is way too expensive. The pricing is a bit cumbersome to understand by being inconsistent with pricing of other Cloudflare products in terms of units and split between memory, cpu and di

Isn't that a bit of a holy grail though? If your software can fact check the output of LLMs and prevent hallucinations then why not use that as the AI to get the answers in the first place?

If every site did that then it would be harder to quickly spot one in a long list of tabs. A neat trick but I don't think it is a particularily good idea.
