There's a lot of inference providers. This is an attempt to map each provider to the state's it's most like, not (necessarily) where it’s based. AKA, it's a vibes map for inference.

The best open models today have been “good enough” to do most knowledge work for a few months. This might be the first US one good enough too. That’s a big deal.

Open weight US based Opus 5.5 within 12 months.

Re:How employment is changing at Anthropic on Sunday October 18, 2026 @07:31AM (#50140103)
“Junior” is the wrong distinction to make. I’ve recently worked with senior engineers who are terrible at wielding agents, and recent grad engineers who multiple themselves 100x. The main way I look for software engineers now are:

- Deep curiosity and ability to absorb new information quickly - Evidence of ability to wield and coordinate agents to the max - Ability to clearly communicate ideas

You have these skills, you can conquer the software world.

These guys are awesome and I’m really impressed. The model alone looks great (according to benchmarks), and very cool they’ve done so much in building out the harness of top of it all.

This feels very impactful for national security and corporate espionage.

Diabolical timing. Incredible. Too bad it requires mirroring GitHub.

I like the story, I really can’t stand the way you used AI to write this. The story is great! But I genuinely cannot tell what you actually think. Too much over-wording and cheesy phrasing.
Damn! If a solo engineer can do this, it makes the most around OAI/Anthropic start to look pretty weak.

Now you’re the product three times: you pay, they steal your dada, they show you ads. Have to make money somehow
If you choose to be public (small % of accounts), this can happen anyways. I don’t see it as a big problem

Really interesting point if true. Makes sense to me, and I’m sure the team is trying to solve it
I see a world soon where there’s an extremely wide variety of small models for speculative decoding, unique to use cases, companies, and even individuals.
Re:The Unbearable Cheapness of Open Weight Models on Thursday June 25, 2026 @03:17AM (#48670034)
The giants knew this was coming, and soon 95% of AI tasks will be able to be done by open models (coding, research, cowork style work). So why pay a premium? Why use them at all? This leaves the labs with two options:

1) push the frontier in a way only massive scale can, and cash in on it (mythos level cyber security, recursive training, frontier science work). There’s big money for never before possible capabilities.

2) own the app layer with their edge in reputation and powered by their infrastructure. Be apple where everyone else is Linux. Do design, coding, research, SMBs, legal, finance, healthcare and more (they are doing all of this).

Will it be enough to justify a Google level valuation? We’ll see how fast they can push it.

Re:Markdy: Like Mermaid Diagrams, but for Motion on Thursday June 25, 2026 @03:06AM (#48669958)
This is really cool. Can imagine vibe creating scenes quickly. If the animation was a bit smoother, I could see this being used all over.
Pretty cool! Love the Subconscious API!
Experimented with Plasmo in April and found it super easy to use! Was surprised I hadn’t heard about it until I went looking.

How'd you get the 15k for OpenAI?? Would love to apply for the same credits

Show HN: Dead Simple AI Tools via Templated Prompts

https://lowtech.ai/aaditsh/generate-seo-keywords

I'm building LowTech AI to simplify powerful AI systems even further than ChatGPT. Prompting is an acquired skill, and there's room to make these epic tools even easier to use, especially for first time AI users.I want to attach the simplest UX imaginable to the best AI prompts backed by the most powerful LLMs. All the user sees is simplified magic with instructions.There's a demo of the app,...

Introducing LowTech AI, AI tools for everyone.

A well thought out templated prompt for an LLM is essentially an AI tool, so that's how we're thinking about them. Signup to use simple AI tools, or show off your skills as a prompt engineer!

Re:Refer a startup, own equity in that startup on Tuesday December 07, 2021 @11:35PM (#29481298)
Refer your friend's company to OnePager.vc for a chance to own equity in that company.

Anyone has the chance to own part of a startup, that means you too. Just need an email to get started, so we can contact you for referral updates.

We provide a built out presentation tool (think DocSend specifically for fundraising), exposure to 1000+ investors, and raise SPVs for notable companies that are attracting attention on our platform. If we raise an SPV for a company you refer, we'll give you 25% of our carried interest.
