The iteration cycle is becoming very quick. Gemini 3.8 Flash arrived just 20 days after 3.7 Flash. Similarly Qwen3.8-Max was updated in just 30 days (to the 0902 release) and Muse Spark in just 28 days (to the 1.3 release). A year ago itera

You can also customize Gemini Flash. It's a niche thing benefitting few, but you can tune gemini-3.7-flash in Google Vertex (now named "Agent Platform"?)

Standard pricing is showing for me as $1.50 / $9. (I suspect you're viewing the "flex" pricing).

Interesting that this was released without a prior GPT-5.3 release. I wonder if that means we won't see a GPT-5.3?

Hey we're also a Vertex tuning customer in a similar spot. We're seeing other capacity issues, although not a leap in latency. Can you DM me? I'd love to trade notes. https://x.com/hellofromjames

I love Cerebras. I also love that they've started to scale rate limits to useful levels (which is relatively new). I still don't know how long they'll support our chosen model. On Oct 22 I got an email saying that ``` - qwen-

Google[1] also has a "long context" pricing structure. OpenAI may be considering offering similar since they do not offer their priority processing SLAs[2] for context >128K. [1] https://cloud.google.com/vertex-

Interesting! Is there anything to read into needing twice the "Avg Attempts", or is this column relatively uninteresting in the overall context of the bench?

Seems to be a nod to each size being treated as their own product. Claude 3 arrived as a family (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus), but no release since has included all three sizes. A release of "claude-3-7-sonnet" alone seems incomplete with

Sorry to hear the challenge. You and your friends should email me with your resume and anything you're proud to have built. I'll extend that to any MIT senior/recent grad who wants to discuss moving to SF and helping us apply

I am grateful for GCP's quotas that help us prevent similar own-goals. While this specific error is something we know to avoid, I'm sure quotas have helped us avoid the pain of other errors. So I'm somewhat sympathetic. I thi

I noticed Anthropic updated their prices, but haven't seen this posted anywhere. Claude Instant is now 10% of Claude 2's pricing: $0.80 per million input tokens, and $2.40 per million completion tokens (down from I think $1.63 and

Replacing them with null seems like a weird decision (that hopefully they will iterate on). Can anyone suggest why they might have chosen null and not a wkt/text cast?

Inflation means tomorrow’s money is worth less; it impacts cashflows more when they are further out. When the cost of money is near-zero, today’s values of near and distant cashflows are similar. When the cost is high, they are very differe

I'd start with goals. Take some time (you have it available!) to think about what you'd like to achieve at different levels, such as: - In your career - In this field - At this company Then break them down, and then break them

I really enjoyed reading the fiction-reflecting-reality novel "The Shipping Man" [0]. It's a fun read (though the story is better than the writing). In particular the author (IIRC a shipping financeer) addresses: Sea freight

Consider how inserts, updates, single-point lookups, indexes etc work with your analytical system. You use SQLite to back and operate an application. SQLite is a wonderfully lightweight transactional database; it compares more to e.g. MySQL
