soon download open weight models before they're banned
soon governments will restrict your access to compute ID verification for buying and running GPUs is coming or they’ll mandate systems to detect if you’re running banned AI models, similar to 3D printing in New York (ghost gun printing)

why are so many countries trying to develop unjammable AI guidance for drones when the technology was already invented 8 decades ago ??

capable uncensored models should be easily accessible to everyone, not just as gated FP8 weights. i've released GGUF quants for OrcaRouter's abliterated Qwen3.8 27b: uncensored opus 4.5-level capability on a single GPU :) huggingface.co/chimingw/Qwen…

we got opus on a single GPU anthropic is going to implode

If qwen 3.8 27b compares to ds4flash we are all going to make it

what happened to Tom Jobbins? i think his mistral 7b v0.1 was THE first model i ran locally he was the best back in 2023 :(

new deepseek v4 flash and qwen3.8 27b are going to change everything

it probably will not take that long (few years?) to get to ~50 tps on a small Mythos-level model; the small local models (for laptop and phone) today are better than what was considered frontier-level just 3 years ago qwen3.5 9b even outscores gpt-4.1 and gpt-4o (1t+ ??):

war is just chess but you can just give your pawns FPV kamikaze drones and instantly upgrade them to rooks at any moment so it's insane

America is destined to win and nothing can stop us
This is gonna sound weird: but I kinda believe in a version of the anthropic principle that says America produced so much wealth and population growth globally that any conscious being is disproportionately likely to have emerged in a universe where American was founded, so certain inexplicable events happened specifically to bring America into existence.

there is a very real possibility that both the US and Chinese governments make it illegal for AI labs to release open source models

me in 2027 going to Wyoming because Kimi K3 is above Mythos-level and GPUs are banned in California so i have to buy RTX6090s at the underground compute markets

sooo what happens when we get some Fable-level open-source shit in the next 3-6 months? GPU bans, moving goalposts, or some secret third thing? 🤔

yes. here is an obstacle avoidance drone policy squeezing between walls to reach its target, trained on my macbook
You can train drones in 30 seconds. This was a year ago. PufferLib is 5x faster now!
