Exactly. We could talk about the billions that Waymo has invested in developing this technology, and how much people really do like it, or how safe it is, but at the end of the day the only thing that will give us the reduced prices that this tech could deliver, is competition.
And that's how it should be.
(But they will always have to charge a bit more for this service due to the political sensitivities that require them to load up on local partners who will require a slice.)
And that is a good thing - no need to hide it. Given the growing cost of keeping up, these few non-US, non-Chinese companies really need to do more sharing of efforts and costs.
Canada too is very much in need of sovereign AI options, but funding that on its own would be pretty much a waste of money. Would love to see this new German Canadian company cooperate with Mistral too, or maybe one of the Korean AI companies.
No, they want to have rules on how the military used Anthropic AI.
Military would still be free to use OpenAI for the nasty stuff
We aren't optimized for smart, for happy, or for truth - we are optimized for getting our genes into the next generation.
Peoplecheered xAI on and admired how quickly they were able to move, without much regard to the methods or legality. IMO competitors had no choice but to respond in kind when they see XAI not just getting away with it, but also getting a pass on legal issues.
I was with you until there. Qwen and the OpenAI models are great, aggressive agents, but they’re not as good as the anthropic models for human interaction. They just don’t have the subtlety, understanding, or attention to detail.
Wait, are you saying it has dynamic vertical scaling of RAM?
I think that is reasonable and intuitive.
That was the first complaint I came across in the article and it made me question the level of indignation of the whole thing.
Anthropic has certainly had some drama inflicted on them by the US administration, but otherwise they have just had heads down and executed with great focus. That is why they have succeeded.
The "Agent Apps" (or whatever we are calling them) from the big vendors are organized around projects/folders, and we attach apps (via plugins) to the projects.
This appears to mae the apps (work surfaces) the primary artifact?
So so perhaps we should be excluding American companies at this time, but in the name of competition and openness, we should allow bids from our real allies, such as the Europeans or the Asians.
They did exactly that with supply chain risk designation, and look what it got them: the administration simply found another more effective way to punish them.
That’s ironic – I interpreted that paragraph with the opposite slant: positively. If that’s what the government mandates then these companies, in the end, have little choice, so was at least relieved to see them publicly pushing back.
Really glad to see some reasonably prominent pushback against this government overreach.
The information has been reporting that the government wants to individually approve which companies get access and when.
Imagine the wonderful opportunities for corruption and influence peddling, not to mention, excluding any companies that don’t support Trump
Also, AI, even short term, is going to make some people and some countries extremely wealthy, so maybe this isn’t such a bad time to be thinking about those who are still extremely poor and who won’t benefit.
Google/GCP can only make very general statements and in this case we want more than that.
They need to tell Railway and Railway needs to tell us, or Railway can tell us that Google is refusing to tell them.
Either way, we need to hear about this from Railway.

Either way, we need to hear about this from Railway.
Administration officials will insist that this will be bipartisan and just for national security.
Trump will then just come out and say it: that they won't authorize models that provide "fake news" such as him not winning the election by the most votes ever.
There will be a big fuss as people and media point to this as the smoking gun, but then it will turn out that American voters just don't care.
I guess we could learn to appreciate Mistral sooner than expected.
So, if I use a "16 vCPUs, 32GB RAM, 400GB SSD" machine for a period of intense compute, and then want to scale that down to "2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM", most of my storage disappears?
That rather ruins the potential of the advertised scalability.
