Agents running in a remote vm.

The more time goes on the more I think there is basically no moat in AI products because everyone is literally building the same shit. There is zero creativity in AI product right now. Yeah they might be different designs, but they are all the same exact product under the skin.

Cursor, Devin, Factory, Amp Code, Codex, Claude Codex, Antigravity, Conductor, OpenCode, T3 Code, Orca, Emdash, and hundreds of more of the same exact shit.

Yeah they might market it same fancy revolutionary technology like Orbs, but it not it just an agent harness local or remote. You can do orbs literally with Claude Code with a single prompt it not special.

We have AI that lets you build things freely and yet here we are all building the same exact thing.

This is just coding harness. The personal assistant space is the exact same.

Why not they both already provide their models for free...

impulser_on America.gov

I believe it's a mix of Gemini and Grok. They are probably providing the compute for free.

impulser_on OpenAI: Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscription

It's very obvious that they need compute for whatever they are announcing tomorrow and that thing will most likely have free usage. So they are cutting usage on the biggest users of compute to allow them to be able to serve whatever they are announcing tomorrow to the masses.

The thing is probably a Muse, and Grok Bot competitor.

impulser_on Leaked Gemini 4 Pro numbers

It doesn't matter if the leaks come from Google themselves until you use a Gemini model you don't know how good it is. I mean Flash 3.8 is second on DeepSWE and there isn't a single person picking that model over Sol and Astra or Opus and Fable.

impulser_on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)

Yeah, but that brings up another problem that China doesn't have. Their federal government is always on the same page. The US federal government changes every two years and it doesn't seem like one side is going to be allowing building of AI data centers anymore and in fact might just ban AI in general.

impulser_on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)

Short term they might have less compute, but long term they will most definitely have more compute. They don't have to worry about energy, they don't have to worry about people blocking them building data centers the only thing stopping them is there no Chinese manufacturer that can produce a chip as good as Nvidia but I would bet that solved in a year or so.

I think you're underestimating Facebook if you think they don't know your address.

impulser_on Meta VR Glasses

What does your state ID have that Facebook can't already get?

impulser_on Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats

As they should because things like this get people thinking even if it something small. Once you get people thinking about things you tend to get solutions.

impulser_on GPT-6 Sol and Luna

It was 9.4B to be exact and it was over the course of two days lol. It was between two projects so 99% of them were cached reads.

The GPT was about 1B on two projects on 300$ worth of plans all on Astra and I capped out on usage.

Anthropic caching must be better because the cache rates are better on Claude models.

impulser_on GPT-6 Sol and Luna

Usage is actually Claude now because of Opus 5.5 since it a better model that Astra. I maxed out my 200$ Claude plan with 10b token on Opus 5 and 5.5 is cheaper. I maxed out two Codex accounts with like not even 5b tokens.

impulser_on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard

Well maybe they should because companies that do cool shit tend to attract people wanting to do cool shit and those are the people you want to be working at your company.

Unless you want your company to become Google which use to do cool shit but now they dont and now they don't have a single person at the company that can build cool shit so they just release a bunch of lame shit.

impulser_on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard

Why the fuck would you or I care about that?

Anthropic and OpenAI literally stole from every human in history and youre out here complaining that the Chinese are distilling models and releasing them to the public?

Why do you care?

impulser_on Nvidia announces native GPU programming in Rust

LLM don't need to be trained in a library to use it well. It's just Rust which they know well.

impulser_on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard

This isn't about liking open source. This is about the labs just being cool and doing cool shit instead of the opposite which is Anthropic where all they talking about is killing everyone and taking everyone's job.

impulser_on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard

The Chinese labs are just making fun of the US labs at this point.

Where is the cool shit from the US labs?

impulser_on Homebrew 7.0.0

Yeah, the combination with mise is what make this great.

impulser_on Homebrew 7.0.0

You can use mise for install homebrew items btw so if you get a new computer you just drop the config.toml inside the mise and install.

This is all you have to add to the config file:

[bootstrap.packages]

"brew:git" = "latest"

"brew-cask:ghostty" = "latest"

impulser_on A misalignment of AI in mathematics

Are we here to solve problems or are we here for prestige?

Who cares how the problems are solved?

impulser_on Anthropic is lying: Moonshot is not routing to Claude

Maybe the Chinese app is different, but the Kimi app shows reasoning traces so how can they route the request to Claude models which don't show reasoning trace and still provide a reasoning trace on the UI?

So I think they are in fact just lying because it doesn't make sense why they would route requests to Claude over their own model.

impulser_on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash

Not only compute, but more money and people.

impulser_on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash

You should read their research papers

impulser_on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash

I think it's very clear that DeepSeek is obviously the best AI lab in the world.

Every model release seems like it packed with wonderful research and advancements.

impulser_on I resigned from Anthropic today

Ok, what do you think AI does that kills 8.5 billion people in 3 years?

impulser_on I resigned from Anthropic today

So you think in 3 years AI is going to kill 8.5 billion people because they were used to hack into HuggingFace?

impulser_on Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B

I think they will be, Nvidia has released open source model that also included the data it was trained on. I think they are the only ones that have done that.

impulser_on Starbase, LA

The government should give incentives to do things that benefit the future of the country. All auto manufactures had the same incentives but instead of building actual good vehicles they instead shipped more production to Mexico and continue to build the absolute most dog shit vehicles in the world.

Not a single US auto manufacturer, outside of Tesla, has a good EV, nor FSD. Waymo is buying thousands of Chinese cars because of how shit US car manufacturer are.

They are the worst of the worst. They shouldn't even be in business they are that bad at building cars which they literally invented.

impulser_on OpenRouter is joining Stripe

It could be open in the literally sense of you aren't locked in, you have free access to any model you want.

Just because a name has open in it doesn't mean it has to be open source.
