Chipmakers turn balance sheets into AI sales tools: How customer financing is becoming the new industry norm

TIL Codex limit reset expiration date doesn’t adjust to your timezone. I was waiting until the last moment to use a reset that was expiring on October 4th, and it just disappeared:(

Yann LeCun's latest talk at ETH Zürich "You should not work on LLM. At least if you're in academia, you should absolutely not work on LLMs. There is nothing you can bring to the table. If you're interested in making real progress in AI, in sort of grounded...

I asked LLMs to have fun, write down what happened, then rate who had the most fun. the newer models seem to have less fun! many models played word games, but opus 4.6 won over and over by imagining brief worlds made up of contradictions living inside...

In my opinion, the best model on the planet at the moment is GLM 5.3 Flash. It's super fast, super smart for the size, and is within reach to run locally for many. Love working with GLM 5.3 Flash.

Tested Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-abliterated Strata with swift-IQ3_XXS successfully., it can reach speeds of 236 t/s. swift-IQ2_XS still has some issues,

People seriously underestimate how powerful not only GLM 5.3 but GLM 5.3 Flash Crazy intelligence on such a small footprint (yes, small, as in not an entire data center is needed)

There's a critical difference between benchmaxxed models and ones made by people who truly care about reliability that, by definition, doesn't show up on benchmarks (we've somewhat learned this for string LLMs...)

A big issue with just doing big model RL -> smaller model distill is you eventually want models to be aware of their own capabilities, and a general-purpose smaller distill without subsequent RL for calibration will necessarily be overconfident + will not...

Opus 5.5 is currently the best model. Astra and the new sol are oddly again bad at writing, communication and style to the point it makes it hard to figure out what’s going on during long auto research loops. Quite frustrating. Whatever made 5.6 sol...

The agents finished porting Campfire to Laravel and Django too. I'm sure there are optimizations that could be found there too, but the whole point is to get a sense of how frontier agents do with different environments out the box.

Biology could be AI’s next recursive self-improvement frontier. Design in silico → test in the lab → turn experimental feedback into semi-synthetic training data → improve the model → repeat. At @Geodesiclab, we’re building toward that flywheel. The wet...

I would be surprised. It's not that easy to train a model as good as even GLM 5.3 without years in the trenches. NVIDIA could not, Thinky so far could not. Why would Reflection? But we've also had a lull in frontier Chinese releases. They might pull it off.

It's all fun and games when Rust moggs Ruby on performance, but show that frontier agents also write much faster Rust than Elixir or Go!? 😡🤬

Over the next 28 days, each day we’ll either ship one thing that is a clear improvement and relevant for most Codex/work users or ship a full reset. Let the improvements begin.

Before the superintelligence era, Tesla’s iterating and scaling of its own inference computers for each car sold was, in retrospect, unprecedented. The current compute shortage is only the tip of the iceberg. When autonomy becomes indispensable, the real...

SF people are increasingly conflating “RSI” with “foom”, as though automating AI R&D will *certainly* cause huge discontinuous speedups in the rate of model capability advancements on *all* tasks. In practice this could be much slower and more jagged

I've had agents implement and optimize the Campfire web app in Elixir, Go, and Rust. Yes, Ruby is the slowest. I didn't care about that when the pay-off was huge in terms of productivity and developer joy. But if you're no longer reading the code?

- training frontier models is expensive - distilling a frontier model is cheap - this market force alone tells us that frontier foundation models will be free/open. - there are others.
