which raises the question, is the model in the demo actually gpt-6? or it is gpt realtime 2.1? It's unclear how gpt-6 can interact at the realtime level and if so, how can developer get access to it?

What's the point of enlarging the screen into a room? In the 1979 Put That There demo, the user at least used his hand to point things. The model is impressive but the demo felt like a step back. Original demo (fun ending) https:&#x2F

No. You buy a minimum of $10 worth of credit, then use it at $1.49/M rate. There is no recurring charge. There is a separate subscription based plan, which is sold out now.

Soniox website has a live comparison demo: https://soniox.com/compare-stt For me, Gemini-3.5-Transcribe actually has slightly lower latency. Kudos to Soniox for both paying their competitor and letting them win. But yes, So

The tokens per second speed measurement is highly inflated nowadays because most of the tokens went into thinking. I wonder if there is a more realistic measurement for "effective speed", which accounts for thinking efficiency.

They already sell API access to the model on Google/Microsoft/Amazon cloud. OpenRouter is the same deal. Note that the labs are not giving out model weights to OpenRouter. They are just selling tokens.

It is decoupled from drivetrain. So, without torque sensor, how does it know when the rider wants to speed up vs. slow down?

Maybe Google is adding compute infra. I noticed today that the API has 500 tok/s throughput. It's quite compelling now.

It's a classic scam. It is a 3.0 USB 7-Port Hub, not a 7-port USB 3.0 Hub. The number 3.0 is the model number of the hub, not the protocol.

According to the stats in this article https://www.ycombinator.com/investors , we can estimate 98.5% of the founders are not in OpenAI or Anthropic.

Is there a selection bias? SELECT * FROM yc_founders WHERE employer IN ('OpenAI', 'Anthropic'); If there are 7k founders [1], the graph only shows 1.5% of the people from YC. [1]: https://www.ycombinator.com&#

Interestingly, I found the original nano banana also has the best latency/quality trade-off that new versions can't beat. This might be domain/prompt specific though. I wonder if there is some truth in the saying that somethi

Agree that good tool should be invisible. We want essential not accidental complexity in how the tool works. But good tool should also be fun and makes us feel productive. We can't neglect the emotional aspects of designs. And at the e

(1) The original zig code was probably heavily AI coded with lower quality, hence the bag. There is a chance that a full rewrite in zig might do as well but we will never find out. (2) The rewrite itself is a massively successful marketing

I believe Wardgard has zero external dependencies. The three packages it depends on are all utils written by the author himself. https://code.haverbeke.berlin/wordgard/wordgard/src/branch/m...
