Halved would be a 50% percent reduction. 0.15/0.22 ≈ 0.68, meaning a roughly 32% reduction on inputs. The 50% reduction is only outputs and cached inputs.

The author misses the difference between cashflow and profit entirely. Selling a car today gives Tesla the full profits of that hardware production today. Running that car as a robotaxi means that Tesla eats the costs of the hardware today

I'm not sure if the website allows for diffs against arbitrary tree states, but if it does than the diff space is completely unbounded, and the ram demand is theoretically infinite.

The amount of memory required to cache all possible diffs (defined as an ordered pair of commits) would likely be in the exobytes. At current ram prices that's easily a trillion dollars of ram to run that cache lol. Git focuses on mak

I'm curious if this stems from the focus on token efficiency. My thinking is that in order to use fewer tokens the model must converge to a likely path faster, meaning it must be more confident in making assumptions quickly and not se

Time to market also matters a ton. If they can start shipping chips <1 month after the weights drop that's much more compelling than if it's a 6+ month development pipeline.

Kimi K3 is a 2.8T model that's available at about 1/4-1/3 the cost of Fable from multiple providers on openrouter. The math doesn't seem wildly off.

The proper server AI chips come on a board that isn't compatible with consumer pcie lanes and have no built-in fans. Completely different ball game in the ultra dense server world.

Buying the team and then actually making the models open is an interesting avenue for driving hardware demand (basically making openai models the new nemotron). Unlikely but quite interesting.

You're welcome to break this down however you wish. I don't think there's any perfect measurement or stat here as every consumer values the various components of the combo differently. If you are a consumer that values the d

Soda isn't my preference and personally I'd probably skip out, but it feels disingenuous to completely ignore something included in the price when discussing the value of an item. That's why I have percentages for both the do

I'd argue that the author's choice of volume as the metric to compare against is a poor one. The costco hotdog contains 580 calories, approximately 110 of which is the bun. If the bun shrinks by 30%, the calories of the entire do

As long as the linguistics are the issue rather than raw inability to understand the concepts being communicated, then the model is just being a bad communicator.

Effective jargon usage is understood by the target audience. If the AI is communicating to me and can't select the appropriate jargon level, it's failing at communicating effectively.

I'm missing an accuracy vs bits graph here. Cool to see this running but if it's at 10%+ loss vs 16bit that's less cool. Hard to understand that story from what's published here.

If it's true that in under 15 days of access significant improvements were realized in K3, then the moat of closed-weight models is far smaller than previously thought. Doesn't bode well for the valuations of these labs.
