That statement gives a lot of insights into the possible model size. Llama 3.1 405b runs @ ~900t/s: https://www.cerebras.ai/blog/llama-405b-inference

From initial vibe research (which is totally not correct by any means) ~13.5k concurrent streaming clients capacity

I am floored at these achievements. Such amazing work.

If I may ask, when you started thinking about achieving this, what were the first attempts, ideas on how to go about it? What were some of the obstacles that had to be overcome to achieve this ?

Re:DuckDB Internals: Why Is DuckDB Fast? (Part 1) on Friday June 19, 2026 @09:37AM (#48598428)
Probably on a business / Enterprise plan, which has managed settings and also telemetry export. Give it a collector endpoint to export to and then have collector send to s3.
The thing that I keep thinking about is the accounting / charging when it downgrades automatically.

Do they adjust the price of the api request so that only the tokens that were utilized by fable get charged at that price and the remaining tokens that the cheaper / nerfed (fable) model utilizes get charged at that price?

If the answer is no, could that be construed as fraud?

This isn't related to Dynamic Workflows, but more on the telemetry / observability side of things.

Why'd you guys not want to allow the traceparent in hooks, but allowed the session.id? Any plans on changing that?

Re:Qwen3.7-Max: The Agent Frontier on Wednesday May 20, 2026 @10:53AM (#48208867)
Can you go into more depth about this
What a statement. What a statement. How many financial institutions do they support? How many different vendors supply the platform for those institutions? How many of those financal institutions (FI) don’t support oauth or other APIs? A lot! Then ask yourself: how do they talk get the data if no api? Web scraping. Then ask yourself how they build the scrapers for those? Where do those accounts come. Employees of the company who open up accounts at those FIs? What about all the other FIs? Where do you think those come from…? How do you think that process is secured? Think the process is secured enough to make you feel warm and cozy? When the scrapers are working, how do you think they get past the security measures? Do you think those financial institutions might think it’s odd that you’re logging in from multiple IPs and that one or more of those ips might be from a residential proxy network?

The result is that I attempt, at all cost to not use anything that requires plaid or their competitors since I know how that sausage is made.

Wasn’t there something where his comp package mandated 50b in market cap?

Re:If AI writes your code, why use Python? on Monday May 11, 2026 @08:36PM (#48102688)
Read the first few comments and surprised I didn’t see it, but training data. The voluminous amount of Python in the training data.

I could write in brainfuck with ai, but I presume, wouldn’t get the same results than if going with python.

My follow up question: with AI now, why care about a lang until you need to?

> Siri fell behind due to how good Apple’s privacy is.

Uhh. What the heck are you talking about? I’m calling straight bs on this unless presented rational.

Siri has access to knowledge.db or whatever it is, which is the centralized hub for pretty much all things. Siri phones home every request made via Siri.

I think you got sold snake oil

The way i look at it is: those users are going to ask differing questions than engineering that may lead to possibilities not considered, thought of, believed possible, etc.. which can be a good thing, when harnessed correctly*.

I'd love to hear more about the positive effects of designers and PMs using AI, especially more on the PM side, if you care to go into more detail

How’s this actually going? I’m sure there are issues, but is it actually fruitful?
What i don't understand about "computer use" is why they're not just grabbing the window handles and storing them to determine what should be clicked after the first few iterations of using that a specific application. if a new case / path / whatever is found, drop back to screen grabbing and bounding boxes and then figure the handles that are there and store after.

idk.. not really thought out too much, but has to be better

Re:Google releases Gemma 4 open models on Thursday April 02, 2026 @01:33PM (#47617485)
What was the main focus when training this model? Besides the ELO score, it's looking like the models (31B / 26B-A4) are underperforming on some of the typical benchmarks by a wide margin. Do you believe there's an issue with the tests or the results are misleading (such as comparative models benchmaxxing)?

Thank you for the release.
