it's 100% true that LLMs have "solved coding", but after watching non-engs build shit, I am convinced the world will always need engs.
they might end up like cobol engs today but still, a win is a win
OpenRouter's main issue is that you have no idea what quality level you will be getting from each provider.
a quantized model is dumber than its full percision cousin
everyone is piling on JD, deservedly, because nobody wants to attack the big dog directly
The scale of the Republican defeat is so great that it makes the race for the GOP presidential nomination wide open.
If the administration had won a big victory, Vice President J D Vance would have had an enormous argument to be the inevitable nominee.
Now, with this go-slow strategy blowing up in Iran and his defense of Vivek Ramaswamy's horrible, inhumane ad featuring his opponent's mother attacking her own daughter, a good bit of the luster has come off the bloom.
The number of people who want to draft Secretary of State Marco Rubio is staggering.
In addition, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Ron DeSantis, Pete Hegseth, Glenn Youngkin, and a surprising number of people may decide this is their chance to take advantage of the chaos of the shocking defeat and seek to be the champion who can rescue the party and the country.
I am so glad I did not buy the m5 max/ultra. it barely matches my almost 10 year old 2080 TI's performance. granted the 2080 barely has any memory at 15GB but it's plenty for my use case
it's absolutely shocking that the binance 14 hotwallet still has not revoked the 7702 delegation to the hacker wallet
I trained a 0.6B model that has never seen an image to see and describe images. Obviously, no vision model is complete if it cannot answer the ultimate question: hot dog or not hot dog!
Next, an "Is it cake?" model

this is good marketing from OpenAI, but technically one of the least impressive things they've demonstrated.
the agent apparently used publicly known Anvil/Hardhat seed phrases (likely the infamous "test junk" mnemonic), found a wallet with sepolia eth, and spent it.
anyone familiar with Ethereum development knows these keys are public.
the interesting part isn't that it obtained funds. It's that it recognized the authorization issue and decided to proceed anyway.
some hacker group tried to phish me today. I captured 100% of the malicious payload they were trying to deliver thanks to my custom (redteam focused) local model.
I'll be pushing the code and a write up to github soon and share with everyone. Stay Tuned!
I was fortunate enough to have one of these sessions with @paulg, I don't think you can be prepared for how good he is at making it seem like a simple process. it was like watching a magician do his thing as a kid.
The only thing better was his opening speech for the S14 batch. the closest I’ve ever come to experiencing the Any Given Sunday speech in real life.
I just created a new chatGPT chat and this is the title it gave it. is open ai routing things to china? 🤣
anyway, that was pretty weird

Because when the site builder was written (by me) in the mid 90s, browsers didn't have fonts.
this model is not better than opus 4.8 let alone fable. however, i can confirm that it doesn't have guardrails to the level of frontier US labs.
that being said I've tried it on a couple of semi advanced crypto tasks and it failed in an embarrassing way. glm5.3 beat it handily
SITUATION EXPLAINED: A stealth model on OpenRouter is beating Fable and Sol on coding, and nobody knows who made it.
• Ox Alpha has a 1M token context window, text, image, and video input, free for a week, with capacity for 100 trillion tokens a day
• On a DeepSWE subset it hit 80%, against Fable's 65%, GLM-5.3's 62%, and Sol's 52%
• The tokenizer is one-for-one identical to GLM's, and a live test asking whether Taiwan is part of China returned a nearly identical answer
• This is the 5th anonymous drop in six months, and the previous four were all claimed by Chinese labs: Zhipu, Xiaomi, Ant, and Meituan
@theojaffee: " There's no way it's a Flash model. If that's a Flash model, then holy shit, the entire United States is cooked. If that's a Flash model, we need to short the stock market now. Not financial advice."
me finding out that the worst person in the world got a domain I had really wanted. beat me by a handful of weeks too
