Help me understand where Meta and Alphabet's issues are. They seem to be doing quite well on paper -- nothing anomalous in terms of profitability or scaling recently. Layoffs are to be expected when AI can increase productivity.

Agreed. The area I think will become more prevalent in the future for organizations are cost per intelligence -- effectively efficiency. An unoptimized model that costs 90x more than another that is only 10-15% less intelligent is something

"Price. Fable 5.1 will cost an estimated 25% less than Fable 5 for typical workloads, wherever usage is billed by token. This is because we’re reducing our pricing on cache reads (where the model reads inputs that have already been pro

This is just cache reads. In real usage it costs 15% more than Fable 5 -- all for marginal gains. https://artificialanalysis.ai/

I run a small hardware startup, InfiShark Tech -- we sell affordable battery-powered cybersecurity hardware worldwide. Europe has been by far the hardest market for us. The costs in this article are understated for products like ours. This

Could GitHub be affecting other sites, or maybe this is something else? Did Anthropic or OpenAI fail to sandbox their models again? https://downdetector.com/

Most of them don't look amazing, but I like the GTK version the most -- even though it looks slightly outdated.

If humanity is over-reliant on frontier labs' models to perform work, the result is a dependence on the actual intelligence of these models -- not on human intelligence. This could be a small reason, on top of many others, why investor

Seems like we're starting to get reliant on the intelligence of these models to keep our outputs less "sloppy". Effectively an IaaS (Intelligence-as-a-Service). With the U.S. putting the suspension on Fable 5, we might be stu

Agreed. The only "issue" is that commercial products will always be ahead, with less friction for most users. This ultimately results in most people using these over open-weight variants. Users might not even be aware that the ope

I do believe that if OpenAI and others release an open-weight model that is better or on par with their frontier variants, it might ruin their primary business model. That is, of course, unless they develop their own hardware specifically t

With open-weight AI, there might not be an incentive to put large sums of capital towards training / research. There might be a donation fund of some sorts, but it certainly won't reach the level of fundraising that the frontier l

I see many comments saying, "AI can't do X with 80-100% accuracy; therefore our professions are in good hands." While I don't want to sound overly pessimistic, the models are improving at a rapid rate. If asked ~3 years

But is the model aware of the training? Unless you hook the model up to an MCP server, or something similar, and have it analyze the RL changes, it will not know if it has changed or not. Even if it is real-time RL, it is not aware of the p

Not sure what would count as a vulnerability if this does not.

It's good news Espressif is using RISC-V over something like Xtensa; it's much more open and flexible. Excited to play around with this

With all the recent supply chain attacks, I'm starting to think it's only a matter of time before all of us are victims. I think this is a sign to manually check all package diffs or postinstall scripts.

Very nice. I am wondering -- why have a devboard this small?

Haha, cool project and README!
