What’s the use case for these things?

I wish them success but doubt it will work for the simple fact that you need some semblance of reliable support which generally requires ownership. That is at odds with the spirit of this, at least from first page.

Or to put it another way, if money isn’t an issue why would you use Salescompel over Salesforce?

Running a business isn’t just about software.

How much does your country’s medical professionals make, how long do patients wait for care and what is the level of care as measured by variety and efficacy? Seems hard to compare without normalizing these things.

Apparently most hospitals make low margins. If this is true, and the goal is to make healthcare more affordable, something has to give, no?

It is also unclear how this is any different than traveling nurses which operate similarly.

What is the solution that doesn’t result in at least some large group of people making less money?

Only after the fact, though, no?

Obviously fake. Come on. This isn’t like leaking llama… even if it were real you would need several racks of b200s to even run this at all coupled with nvlink.
74948494i4··on Memdoor: A team of 5 Qwen3.8-27B models beats Fable 5 on LiveCodeBench Hard
This is good timing. My setup at home involves a two servers with 5080s each and an Rtx spark laptop with 128gb. I plan I have qwen flash next on the latter and the 27b variant on the former. I would’ve preferred to have purchased a dgx spark but everything is just ridiculously expensive now. My own setup would be 3x the cost to buy again.

I’m mainly trying to replicate Gemini flash and muse agent for my family of 4 without breaking the bank (already had a 5080 for gaming and the other for image gen).

It is unclear if this memdoor works for agentic tasks, e.g.: “check daily if dune 3 tickets are for sale and if they are buy tickets for 4 where all 4 seats are next to each other in the same row and as center as possible.”

There is a huge cliff once you go past 128gb. Basically you need either Rtx 6000 pros (20k+) or a cluster of dgx sparks (15k+)

That pretty obviously fails the copyright test. Training on text/pictures/audio isn't transformative because you are producing...text/pictures/audio.

Can these things take any action you would in a browser without getting trivially blocked? I just bought a 128GB rtx spark to implement this in house for a family of 4. I have observed you don’t really need high tps to achieve things like “book a ticket for Dune 3 for 4 where the seats are together, preference for near the middle vertically and horizontally).

The rtx has decent prefill speed and enough memory for both context and using a dense model to prevent hallucinations resulting in poor browser calling.

Ironically the relatively low tps makes the real flow very akin to what I actually would do in terms of speed so I doubt it could be detected as chrome web driver isn’t used.

I got the HP version of this 128GB for 3.8k. I have yet to see a better deal for that ram.
