Not if it's mass produced
No, it means the motor is smaller and it can be put into the wheel
And this is just fraud that was done with incompetence, so easily caught. How much is done competently?
This can't be used to save VRAM in practice. To generate a new token with the primary model, you first need to decompress the cache, which involves regenerating the whole sequence from scratch. I.e. generate 1 million tokens with the small model to generate 1 with the large.
You can use the original model to compress the kv cache and get ∞x compression, since the prediction is perfect. The cost is time, and I don't see how this could be worth it.

I thought it can do multiple tokens at a time
3.6 already supports multi token generation AFAIK
How about next year?
What else would it be?
I don't think he wants to buy one

I wonder why that's not supported by Biscuit despite dozens of other functions being present. E.g. download and display an image once an hour. Can't wake from sleep regularly?

You're being downvoted, but you're right. Determinism is a different concept and doesn't characterise LLMs well. You can have deterministic random number generators for example.

I have no idea how much that is so it doesn't terrify me, but a 47 cm dragonfly is terrifying!

There was a recent HN post where they checked the oxygen hypothesis (insects grew this large due to higher atmospheric oxygen levels) and it didn't hold up
What I hear is that getting your network to work on AMD is a huge pain.

It's the cumulative weighting based on the softmax output? Is it per layer?

Training algorithm is the programmer, weights are the code that you run in an interpreter
Re:DeepSeek v4 on Friday April 24, 2026 @02:04AM (#47886186)
Weights are the source, training data is the compiler
