prodigycorp··on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0
thank you
prodigycorp··on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0
@tomhow can u please transfer tranking juice? an interesting discussion was brewing and now this is no longer on the FP

Transparently so. MiMo's training dashboard showed the DeepSWE hillclimb in real time.

The accent is received pronunciation, like Tom Hiddleston. It sounds like Tom's voice. Perfectly normal British accent.

Very thoughtful, nice work again!
prodigycorp··on CVE-2026-111943: Compromised Intermediate Certificate Authority
I appreciate this.
prodigycorp··on What’s getting pwned right now
excellent, thanks. Yes, much more interesting.

A simple line chart would be more helpful, informative and humbling than a heat map.

A weak minded action doesnt produce a win for all parties involved. In fact I applaud their bravery.
prodigycorp··on CVE-2026-111943: Compromised Intermediate Certificate Authority
Agents have dramatically increased the ability to poke at every single surface out there. I would be surprised if the researcher who found this wasn't assisted by a llm.

athropic had an experiment that did exactly this. we need more experimentation in this space.
prodigycorp··on WorldTUI: I trained a 360M model to pretend to be a terminal
Wow! This this reminds me of when we tried doing this with gpt 3 and.. it worked!

The tmux thing had me confused for a moment until i realized it was emulating tmux. Super fun. Is the model window width aware?

prodigycorp··on The recently proposed o(n log n) integer multiplication algorithm [pdf]
There's nothing that makes this paper the be and and end all opinion pieces of the paper. The community will review his review, and people who wish to understand more will read more and more of the paper. I see nothing wrong with this process of progressive understanding.

This only applies to its value in regards to training data for LLMs.
prodigycorp··on We turned EmbeddingGemma 2 into a speech-to-text model
it was a joke
prodigycorp··on Simons Foundation launches $15M effort to help mathematicians navigate AI era
Ha, reminds me of how anthropic publishes their math papers with meat proxy math professors who were compensated for their "authorship" of the paper.

Essentially gifts for the annointed.

prodigycorp··on We turned EmbeddingGemma 2 into a speech-to-text model
can you turn this into a decision model
prodigycorp··on Next.js 16.4
Hard to call it a "unified platform" when a good portion of the developer base is using pages router despite app router being out for a few years now

prodigycorp··on “Math 2.0” will need to value mathematical progress more holistically
More likely is that frontier labs give huge discounts of EDUs if they consent to allowing training.
prodigycorp··on Mistral Large 4
Impressive vision benchmarking. If the vision model is truly as good as astra, that would make it best in the world.

Also strong on cyber benchmarks (better than all chinese models), so this is a good defender model.

Lots of people shitting of Mistral for no reason imo. These are pretty good numbers across the board. Definitely good enough to use as a daily driver over other llms, if you have moral qualms with the others. For certain use cases, like cyber security, this may be the go to model.

I like to make fun of europe, but there's lots for mistral to be proud about in this release imo.

prodigycorp··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
I’m typing from my phone and im not going to review the semantics of Anthropic’s storied history of performance issues.

It’s not just ant. There are so many small knobs that providers can claim isn’t nerfing but “load management” or “improving user experience”. One example from OpenAI is reducing juice to reduce time to first token.

prodigycorp··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
Man this was last year and some Claude subreddit drama that I can’t furnish offf the top of my head but maybe one of the historians remember it.
prodigycorp··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
Incorrect.

Anthropic has admitted to nerfing in the past. There have also been inference bugs. On top of that, model performance changes as they move compute to schwaggier providers as well.

Your chart is wrong.

prodigycorp··on DevDay 2026 Recap
This could and probably is me projecting, but the enthusiasm was tepid. The Opus 5.5 mog cast a pall on the room.

The stuff that came off as potentially exciting was the ultrafast stuff available only to Pro 500 users.

The reset button stuff was an embarrassment. Everything that was released today, in respect to the hype that the team projected on twitter, was a failure. The internal OpenAI slack is a hell of an echo chamber.

API price cuts were obvious once they made their announcement changing how usage is counted.

These moves all make sense when you take into account the enterprise market.

prodigycorp··on macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess
This is a bad faith article. The feel of a "buggy mess" is different from what the author described. Every OS is going to have bugs. On top of that, I cannot reproduce a lot of these issues. It's clear the OP is using multiple third party utilities to manage things like the menubar. Try turn them off and complaining.

I feel like the author wanted to write a post like one of those about Tahoe (menu bar, corner dragging), but the stuff they wrote about was all very "who cares"?

Golden Gate has reversed many of Tahoe's regressions and further updates will continue to do so.

Well, OP, today is the day you learn about anamorphic lenses
