Yeah, but until that, we can make a ton of money!

I uhhh did that too when I needed money, I had a handler who gave me the stuff and paid me. ( Payment was pretty good)

He talked about the people getting their homework and bachelor's done.

Pretty much crushed my worldview. Cheating is, was and will be rampant.

Nope, not predictable at all.

Because they auto route still your requests, you never know if something costs one coin or a tenth of a coin

I would have thought it's more. Feels like everyone is taking pictures to post. Not to remember

Damn, beating Kimi k3 is crazy. It produces already a ton of tokens.

But I think the next step will be even more thinking on smaller models. Maybe fine-tuned and we get really crazy stuff

I was wondering the same, and it clearly says : 50% off, aka a sale, not normal price cut.

I don't get this thread.... Really. Is it full of bots?

Are they planning to do something like runware with their containers? ( Sonic inference pod)

Of course, all the latest gains in the latest models are from "thinking" and testing every piece they did.

That's at least my impression. Models didn't get get better, just more thinking and testing and sometimes fixing things you didn't ask for ( hello opus, can you check xxx, opus: I fixed it..)

Next step is a model with 10 GB thinking for ten minutes.

You noticed how the current market is? I don't know what you think how employees should react? They of course will pay what they need to pay to get what they want.

No one will overpay to be nice

Why would they need to selfhost? They can run it via API ala openrouter or runware or whatever.

Or on runpod with rented gpus or inference.

I used fable to design a front-end, and damn! It's good! Frontend coding is dead. Design in a way also.

And it was damn cheap too! The main page cost was like 5 dollar.
