This was clearly explained by OpenAI in their initial press release on 7/21 [0]: > This incident occurred during an internal evaluation which prompts models to pursue advanced exploitation using complex attack paths, in an effort to

I’d love to see this benchmark using Blender. Asking a model to animate a scene in Three.js is a square peg/round hole; it doesn’t convey much when the model can’t get it to fit. With Blender the human expert ceiling for this task has

Yes, per the article they “scaled” Postgres to meet their requirements by altering their usage pattern to avoid hitting the bottleneck.

Moonshot (Kimi) has raised $3.77B and been around for >3 years, Thinking Machines raising $2B and releasing a decent open weights model in 16 months is actually quite comparable.

Do you feel the same way about Guowang and Qianfan, two very real very large constellations notably not funded by US billionaires?

First impression of 5.6 Sol in Codex is fantastic — the model asks dozens of clarifying questions before starting to implement where other models (including 5.5 and Terra) just yolo it with assumptions that needed to be walked back later.

The gas generators powering the datacenter rented by both Google and Anthropic? Where is the moral stance against Gemini and Claude?

Migrated all of my pins to Organic Maps from Maps.me when it started to aggressively monetize. Smooth process. Been a happy user for years!

Interesting that your list omits China considering they have firm plans to launch ~41k satellites for government/commercial constellations plus ITU filings for >200k proposed satellites.

In related news, earlier this year Chile cancelled plans for a gigawatt-scale solar/wind powered hydrogen production plant nearby the ESO facility in the Atacama desert after light pollution complaints from European scientists.

Neat, implementing this would be a great marketing move for Google/OpenAI/Amazon/MS. Relatively cheap way to win a lot of goodwill from the millions of people who don't know much about the space but are swayed by current

I find golf courses to be a more effective framing. Even if the alfalfa is consumed by animals, it's still a part of the food supply chain and gives people the easy response, "yeah, but we need to eat, we don't need datac

Interesting technique, horrible article. Manages to convey significantly less information than the X thread it mined for ad revenue. https://xcancel.com/wrathofgnon/status/1250287741247426565

Meta has tons of that, but no frontier contender. Clearly there’s _something_ more to the equation than money

They’re in UEFA because half of the countries in Asia (AFC) and Africa (CAF) wouldn’t play them. Same reason Russia considered leaving UEFA recently.

Amazon is thought to own 15-20% of Anthropic which as a company has a valuation of>$1T. Amazon’s stake is probably closer to $200B

Appreciate the long answer. Why is it more likely that Gemini 3 Pro/Flash/Lite are distillations of the same parent model than that they’re different training runs on the same dataset, with minor version bumps being different post

by gordonhart 3mo ago
> it's likely they're distilled from the same source Any credible references for this? The implication that Anthropic has an even bigger and better model that they haven't released is hard to believe.

I prefer this tone to fake marketing speak. If they’d done a proper job here they’d be accused of having GPT write it. At least this is organic laziness!
