Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Putting Python, the slowest popular language, alongside Java and C# really irks me bad.
The real benefit of R1 is Mixture of Experts - the model is separated into smaller sections, that are trained and used independently, meaning you don't need the entire model to be active all the time, just parts of it.
Meaning it uses less resources during training and general usage. For example instead of 670 billion parameters all the time, it can use 30 billion for specific question, and you can get away with using 2% of the hardware used by competition.
I wouldn't call python the slowest language when the context is machine learning. It's essentially C.
Python is still the slowest, it just utilizes libraries written in C for this specific math.
And that maths happens to be 99% of the workload
I used them as they are well known modern languages that the average person might have heard about.
