zshnon RuneScape Bench: MMOs for Agents [video]

Was fun exploring this months ago. Back then even the smallest amount of game knowledge you could provide a model would drastically improve their performance. Most of it is in their training data but they hallucinate a ton of incorrect information.

zshnon Reliable GPU Compute for Large Training and Inference Jobs

"Consistently achieving >99.95% availability of our GPU nodes" What do GPU node availability numbers look like for other companies? Do they share these numbers?
