Fucking "Hugging Face"?
Why pay for really expensive models when you can get almost the same performance for a fraction of the cost?
The future is not about the most powerful models necessarily. There will be cases, and there will be a development in intelligence going forward.
My prediction is that the future of AI (LLM++) will be harnesses and tools, not the absolute best inference.
Yeah.
At this point, everything around the LLM is woefully behind the performance of LLMs themselves. If all LLM development stopped tomorrow, I think there would still be years of catching up to do.
Most definitely.
I am an extreme user of LLMs and other AI, and the limit is creativity and adaptability. It is no longer the "intelligence" of the models that counts, they are already insanely good now. I use Kimi K3 and it blows me away.
The limit is what my mind can conjure up.
Well even the human user aside, I'm thinking of agent harnesses, tools, prompt "hacking," constrained and exotic sampling, augmentations like control vectors or loras, RAG, databases, multimodel thinking...
The basic chatbot interface is hardly tapping into these models at all. They're very effective tools when specifically constrained, but most are still figuring out how to do that.
yawn
But Amodei says open models are bad.

What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
