As a cyclist, I tend to pay more attention to the bike shape than most people. Everyone knows what a bike looks like, but as with LLMs, most people would struggle to draw one - correctly connecting all the different tubes at correct angles etc.I note that even these bikes are not actually rideable. For a bike to be stable, the front wheel axle…

Assuming that models continue to get 90% more efficient every 18 months, and assuming that hardware continues to get 2x more powerful per watt every 2 years...Aren't we still like a decade away from an Argon model being able to run on battery power for any reasonable amount of time that would fit on a robot that isn't the size of a school bus?Add…

I just created a Google account, which was a hassle. I tried to find an app and found AI Studio, but I’m not sure what that is.

Though speaking of Sol, I've been very dissapointed with Sol 6.1 to the extent that I feel OpenAI has neutered it compared to a few months…

At some point Simon needs to move from Pelicans to something more complex. Every time a new model is launched by major Frontier company, I already know with certainty that first HN comment on the news would be about how Model is drawing the Pelicans.

I've been using it for a while internally at Google. I prefer Argon over Opus 5.5 because of the clear thinking and directness. It phrases things in an organized, straightforward way.

Announced two weeks ago and they went on a victory lap and they're already behind by the time they launched. Strange company, Google.

A model that didn‘t break out of its sandbox and hacked other websites cannot be good.
