kroaton··on Anthropic S-1
You can't lie in an S-1.
kroaton··on Anthropic S-1
Speed.
kroaton··on William Gibson and the trademarking of cyberspace
Precision work with hands can work if paired with eye-tracking and something like the Meta Neural Band. The main issue is our hands are shaky, get tired quick and we need tactile feedback when doing fine-motor skill work (surgery, etc.)
kroaton··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
Good bot.
kroaton··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
That dude is a grifter. His German friend is even worse.
kroaton··on Jeff – Jev-compatible 0.8B decision models, trained at home, ~30 ms
Being ZERO-SHOT. No fine tuning or re-training needed. Why are people so dense over this model?
kroaton··on Introducing System One Models and Jev
Seems that way.
kroaton··on Introducing System One Models and Jev
System One seems to be more of a "class" of models, as it's a good classifier but can't do what traditional LLMs with chain of thought do.
kroaton··on So you want to use OpenRouter?
You need to validate what providers are actually serving. Add benchmarks, properly showcase what quantization they are serving on the model and KV cache, etc.

Until that happens, your service is doomed to be shitty.

kroaton··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
I've had Astra say that it is a Qwen model. They are all cross-trained and distill each other.
kroaton··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
I wouldn't trust OpenCode Go with my lunch after the shit-sandwich they served us with horrible V4 quants and 0 transparency. Then blaming it on their partners.
kroaton··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
Considering the fact that Google/Anthropic/OpenAI have WAY more compute and the race is this close, it's obvious that DeepSeek/GLM/Qwen teams are better or we're approaching a wall in terms of progress.
kroaton··on Ponytail: Lazy Senior Engineer Skill
Garbage.
kroaton··on GPT-6 Astra
I think it mostly shows that there is no moat and the only advantage the U.S companies have over the Chinese is more compute. Qwen Max, Kimi K3, GLM 5.3 are really close to Opus/Sol/Fable/Astra and they are open weights.
kroaton··on GPT-6 Astra
The only good take here.
kroaton··on Qwen 3.8 27B available on Cerebras at 1500 tokens/s
Especially since they still serve Codex-Spark, which is dogshit.
kroaton··on OpenAI Jalapeño: Better than Nvidia Blackwell
But Bonsai is garbage.
kroaton··on Xiaomi: New CPU matches Apple cores single threaded, much faster multithreaded
As if our EU leaders aren't a complete joke as well. Pushing ChatControl, fascism and gambling everywhere. We're just as much of a joke.
kroaton··on Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things
This will degrade performance significantly. LLama.cpp has had this for a while and it tanks benchmark performance. I ran GPQA on GLM 5.2 using the llama implementation and it came back 19 points under the regular results.

Or you can use parlor to chat with it directly https://github.com/fikrikarim/parlor/
kroaton··on Kimi K3 Architecture Overview and Notes
Better than Opus 4.8 on complex tasks but tends to overthink. It found a bunch of bugs and architecture issues that only 5.6 Sol Max and Fable on my C++ projects.
kroaton··on Qwen-Image-3.0: Rich Content, Authentic Details, Deep Knowledge
It depends on what you need, but Krea/Klein9b/Ideogram4/Z-Image are among the best right now for text2image and Qwen Edit and Klein are probably still the best at editing.
kroaton··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
Yup. Smells like marketing.
kroaton··on Blender 5.2 LTS
They've been investing heavily into this over the last 2 releases, but it's just that SideFX is a really small company. I think they have 50 people or so right now. Karma is way more accurate than Cycles, but slow. Karma XPU is a mixed bag.
kroaton··on Blender 5.2 LTS
And that's when you learn Houdini and open up a workflow from 2008 and it still works the same, despite SideFX pushing out an insane amount of features every release (look at their SneakPeaks).
kroaton··on Xiaomi-Robotics-1
Work more for my boss and landlord so the fiefdom can survive.
kroaton··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
It also goes to show that Fable/Sol must be 4-5T in size.
kroaton··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
Ling/Ring 1T-A50B and the new Inkling 975B-A41B deserve to be on that list.
kroaton··on Bonsai 27B: A 27B-Class model that runs on a phone
Which would be very interesting to test, as larger models (such as Deepseek V4 Flash or Qwen 397B) seem to compress better. Their Q2 quants are usable as is, even without the ternary compression.
kroaton··on Sam Neill has died
A shame it has Marc Maron in it.
