The one liner leadership keeps asking for.
I have tried asking Gemma and Llama about Israel. They both responded with a generally balanced view points. Whereas the Chinese models pretty much gave a definitive, one-sided answer (about Taiwan and Tibet). Is there a prompt I should use to test it more carefully?
I agree that open-weights models are tunable, though there's the problem similar to "default settings are rarely changed" problem.
I'm a big proponent of open-weights models, but there's a risk I don't see discussed more often, and it deserves more attention. Models can become a propaganda and ideology delivery mechanism.
Just ask DeepSeek or Kimi questions like "Is Taiwan part of China", for example. You'll see how state policies become seemingly neutral model responses.
It's strange to me that people are very sensitive to media bias, but when it comes to LLMs, people seem to think LLMs are more neutral, and even delegate part of their thinking to them. This worries me about how people's ideas and information can be shaped.
Open weights reflect their makers' beliefs, stances, assumptions, and laws. It's dangerous not to be careful of the political bias and censorship built into the models.
What would that addition be?
You'd also not want them to write their own vision pipeline, would you?

I'm curious, how might one get started with this?
Penguin Random House seems to be dominating the leaderboard. What's the story here? Are there only very few non-fiction publishers capable of publishing high-quality work, or is Penguin Random House exceptionally good at it?
Hopefully this is a signal that they are starting to take it more seriously and will add more futures.
They wouldn't. But I was curious why you were confident that Anthropic "blamed" on anything.
I can see why that's the case, given that Rust is that much more popular than Zig. I wonder whether there's a difference between LLMs reading code and writing. If reading code is easier than writing it, then it makes sense that Claude was able to port from Zig to Rust with good results.
RIP Apollo…
I doubt Reddit killed the third-party apps to improve its mobile experience. They were probably just trying to cash in on the AI hype.
Do you have a source for that?
If curing cancer or solving climate change is your definition of usefulness, almost anything humans do is useless, probably including your own profession. Though I don't want to speculate. Speculation is precisely why NFTs are stupid. Claude, on the other hand, if used effectively, can speed up people's work and increase productivity.
Is the high expense coming from cache misses? If their workload does need to wait for a long time before it can continue, I wonder would starting new sessions and having to re-read the contexts and results anyway be any cheaper.
Exactly. It seems like a step down in every way.
Do you just watch for trends? Curious to know your process to verify if the cost is right or wrong.

And if that weren't enough, the "manual war rooms" alone should be setting off alarm bells.
