Models Lead story
This week, we reached our "Hello World" milestone: the first-ever AI response from a data center class TPU in orbit.
AI infrastructure capacity and cost are becoming core constraints for labs and enterprises scaling real workloads.

Asked about supply chain shortages, like the ongoing RAM shortage, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in an interview that it's "terrible" to have RAM in personal PCs instead of data centers. During his appearance on the Cheeky Pint podcast, where he also commented on AI's impact on math, Altman said: "A lot of people want […]

@bilawalsidhuGaussian splats are cool, but the same 3D scan can be a GPS for your drone, robot and phone. It's moments like this where you really start feeling like Tony Stark. Splat of a few city blocks → MultiSet VPS → one shared map. Drop a waypoint in my glasses...

@teortaxestex> reconstruction of Anthropic's financials for the case of fully utilized Max subscriptions oh, SemiAnalysis did that! If that's correct, Ant's API margin is higher than DeepSeek's (≈92% vs 84%), but their plan subsidy for Opus is *enormous*. They break...

@adamholterererNote that 5.5 on high is a lot better than GPT 6.1 Sol on high, so though the cost gap is a lot smaller when you consider subsidization, you're getting a better model. If you compare a lower reasoning effort on Opus to a higher one on Sol to be more fair,...

@itsmeajaykvEver since Strata release, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next has became my main local model. It's been weeks since I last ran Qwen3.8-27B. Flash is equally capable and faster than 27B, so it's a no brainer. Since this depends on the quant, here's what am comparing. -...
