I usually see doom loops when working with quants. Likely theyre trying to maximize the viability of a efficient model quant that can bw upgraded. Like cutting coke to get crack, quantiry over quality.

Nit pick; cutting (adulterating) cocaine doesn't produce crack cocaine.

If anything, the freebase is more potent by weight (albeit less water soluble than the salt form, so it's only really usable via vaporization).

Ox alpha at moments felt like it was quantized to hell. I think the last few days it might have improved.
