Apparently the Force Majeure section of the deal is very weak, so if there's the slightest upset, they get out of that.

A single 6MHz channel at the top end of UHF band would be enough to implement a universal cellular telephony service - simple calls and texts - at very low cost if phones had modems for it. I think that would be the better use of spectrum.

It's not a great UI, but for messing with ideas in a VM, the free tier is very hard to beat, otherwise I'd be on Claude Code, but still on a VM, because I won't let them near anything I actually care about.

I was inspired by that post also, got a Qwen Coder 1.5B up to 27tok/s prompt eval and 13tok/s decode on an e5-2650v2 inside a GNOME box

I aspire to someday move up to an AM5 system, but for now, the Dell T3610 has to do everything. Might get a second GPU for it though.

I've been watching and waiting for this, interested to see how smart it is, as it fits with my interest of getting the smartest possible model running in 10GB of VRAM (RTX3060 that has to drive 2 monitors and run an llm)

I can see the appeal, not having to deal with much rust or bolts breaking (the 2 things which cause the most trouble for me in working on vehicles). 800 miles across the desert is some way to run it in though!

Opencode's free models have been fine for me, they're what I tried after Gemma 4 8B proved hard to persuade into usefulness (I want to revisit with 12B and messing with harnesses, but I'm happy for now).

That's what I want to know too. A smarter E4B that's happy in opencode would be a good selfhosted model for me
