I didn't, but I saw a friend go into a week long alcohol session because he wanted to leave academics and couldn't take it anymore...

It must be like a pit fight, but with connections and half truths

I did that with T3 code.

Yeah, but until that, we can make a ton of money!

Only? In think that's actually not too bad. Could be worse
I uhhh did that too when I needed money, I had a handler who gave me the stuff and paid me. ( Payment was pretty good)

He talked about the people getting their homework and bachelor's done.

Pretty much crushed my worldview. Cheating is, was and will be rampant.

Nope, not predictable at all.

Because they auto route still your requests, you never know if something costs one coin or a tenth of a coin

And blame the other side lol
I would have thought it's more. Feels like everyone is taking pictures to post. Not to remember

You use AI to summarise it! That's the way to go lol

Damn, beating Kimi k3 is crazy. It produces already a ton of tokens.

But I think the next step will be even more thinking on smaller models. Maybe fine-tuned and we get really crazy stuff

Re:GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50% on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @03:01AM (#49342302)
I was wondering the same, and it clearly says : 50% off, aka a sale, not normal price cut.

I don't get this thread.... Really. Is it full of bots?

Maybe deepl gone wild?
Re:Chestnut – eGPU dock with open-source firmware on Monday August 17, 2026 @05:52AM (#49328536)
Are they planning to do something like runware with their containers? ( Sonic inference pod)
Of course, all the latest gains in the latest models are from "thinking" and testing every piece they did.

That's at least my impression. Models didn't get get better, just more thinking and testing and sometimes fixing things you didn't ask for ( hello opus, can you check xxx, opus: I fixed it..)

Next step is a model with 10 GB thinking for ten minutes.

You need bots on th other side too. Simple
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2026) on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @03:01AM (#49165172)
You noticed how the current market is? I don't know what you think how employees should react? They of course will pay what they need to pay to get what they want.

No one will overpay to be nice

Re:Kimi K3 exploited the latest Redis server on Sunday July 26, 2026 @05:46AM (#49056370)
Jailbreaks exist and work...
Re:Kimi K3 exploited the latest Redis server on Saturday July 25, 2026 @06:27AM (#49046343)
Why would they need to selfhost? They can run it via API ala openrouter or runware or whatever.

Or on runpod with rented gpus or inference.

I used fable to design a front-end, and damn! It's good! Frontend coding is dead. Design in a way also.

And it was damn cheap too! The main page cost was like 5 dollar.

Re:Nobody knows what a used GPU cluster is worth on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @09:08PM (#49015597)
Meh

Models are too big now

Yes, nothing will be as fast as the Nvidia implementation.

Those implementations don't have access to the low level encoding Nvidia has.

There is a rumour, that they did this because of GeForce now, because there never will an open source implementation/ service competition for GeForce now.

Re:AMD Ryzen AI Halo – $4k AI Dev Kit on Monday July 06, 2026 @04:17PM (#48809909)
Apple already announced that will increase prices.. doubt that Mac studio will stay cheap
Re:AMD Ryzen AI Halo – $4k AI Dev Kit on Monday July 06, 2026 @04:16PM (#48809895)
I was looking at buying hardware for me and as testing ground to learn. With those prices I just nipped out and will just rent in demand at runpod or so.

Absolute insanity

To late

You either do it, or you are out

Yes

Still cheaper then being jobless or without the bachelor

Wasn't there just a study, that many fat kids are fat because of fruit juices?

Healthy in a way, but surprisingly a lot of sugar ( either added or from the fruits)

Re:Asian AI startups launch Mythos-like models on Saturday June 27, 2026 @07:01PM (#48702612)
Same experience with web search / research, it was bad compared to opus.

Missed half the stuff the other half was outdated/ didn't verify.

How?

Which model is behind it?

Yeah. There always will be a gab. And it will keep growing for the next years...
