<p>While it's a common tactic, and I'd vouch for it if you don't really know what you want to code in fact, but if you know what you want to get out of it, I haven't found anything I'd need opus 5.5 for instead of deepseek-flash (flash v4.1 hosted via platform.deepseek.com)</p>

<p>I did build "RAT"-like (Remote Administration Tool) infra with automated http api generation for various tasks, my coworkers and I enjoyed using it.<p>But even when starting that, I was aware such patterns and remote access, yeah, this just has C&C botnet capabilities too.<p>It's not that deep, but there certainly is overlap with malware-esque patterns.</p>

<p>Realistically, the entire chain proposed by your safebots - I like the idea - but I cannot see viable ways to get it actually deployed in a useful manner.<p>Especially with the hardware stuff, this is plainly put unachievable by many IT departments.<p>The fact that models vastly outpaced their harness and permission systems - I wouldn't dare to doubt this fact.<p>Claude Code on auto is still rolling a dice with its sonnet classifier - whether that IaC action I told it and explicitly stated multiple times it is permitted and authorized to run - yet it always randomly allows or denies it.<p>Therefore this is totally still a unsolved, perhaps unsolvable problem.</p>

<p>Agreed; and it really is not that deep.<p>Realistically; anyone paying for llm access (anthropic, openai, gemini), is getting their access, and a service provided billed by tokens, subscription, whatever.<p>All the efficiency gains, which publications like deepseek v4.1 flash seriously frontload like it is their most important topic to have accomplished improvements on without diminishing performance too much - now this is a thing anthropic and anyone else also cares about, but for different reasons.<p>American "providers" with closed models are setting their token pricing somewhat arbitrarily, which is fine: it means more profit, and pretraining and RL experimentation is super important and expensive.<p>They (closed model providers) have very likely super optimized inference too, just like deepseek, but it's not at all something that any customer really has to care about - they just want the service to be as cheap and great as possible.</p>

<p>everybody do be cooking with water.
Chinese Labs provided pretty good, primarily cost-reducing techniques, like the sparse attention patterns recently.
I'd bet OpenAI and Anthropic use their variants of those too, so they can get greater margin on their tokens - not something they'd really want to / need to self-report.</p>

<p>You got to know how to use the model+harness+prompt to achieve the results you want, but honestly for many projects and questions all the models already pump out their same best version of an answer.<p>Sometimes it is really akin to a git clone, although it was a LLM request.<p>This rewarding expertise is somewhat wishful thinking.<p>At the end of a day, it feels and is more like gambling, even with the recommended expertise and a good approach, don't delude yourself you're simply pulling the lever too, as any novice.</p>

How could Grokking be made workable?
Mechanistic Interpretability, like using SAEs (EleutherAI did), also methods Heretic employs to decensor, surely you can see some "modding" does indeed achieve things.<p>FYI, I prefer discussion over being mad</p>

<p>It's way overblown...<p>The "anti LLM" or "no AI" clause is really more a "covering all ass" clause.<p>If you want to improve Forgejo and have that AI PR; you better clean it up of all traces - resulting in a PR that is likely neat and going to be merged.<p>I see no issue with that. It simply enforces a pace and process that is very befitting and in my opinion mandatory for such a central system they're maintaining.</p>

<p>No.<p>1. "Grokking" was shown on 4-digit modular arithmetic with a 1-layer transformer; this article extrapolates it to AGI and a $10B training run with exactly zero intermediate evidence.<p>2. The "small dataset" is 25 trillion tokens - literally the size of current frontier training sets - but calling it small sounds revolutionary.<p>3. BabyLM has spent 4 years failing to produce grokking on constrained data; the paper gets a footnote saying "those models were too small," which is unfalsifiable until someone burns $10B.<p>4. Chain-of-thought is already empirically required for frontier performance - it's expensive, bizarre, and nobody predicted it - yet somehow we're supposed to bet the farm on a phenomenon that has never scaled past arithmetic. We need that data, even if it is just "Actually, ..."<p>5. If you want to chase "recurrent depth", loop transformers rumored in Mythos/Fable are at least grounded in actual engineering; grokking-at-scale is just vibes ai bro science.<p>More data is and will always be the answer. Why are all labs distilling from each other?</p>

<p>DeepSeek rules. I'm using it to do stuff that's not too big in scope, because I still need to remain in charge.
