Whatever helps reduce RAM costs bro!

New comment by NeumannGod in "GPT‑6 and Intelligent UI for everyone"

NeumannGod — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 19:27:10 +0000

Why show an intelligent UI within a chat interface. That’s pathetically lame. Better to go away from chat interfaces to rich visual interfaces. Doesn’t sound intelligent at all to me

Is there an open standard or something for people generating images to encode them or is the standard private and only shared with frontier model builders? That's a shame if latter. But pretty cool standardizing technology.

Pretty interesting but I wonder apart from sovereign use-cases in EU, who uses Mistral and for what? How good are they compared to frontier open models like Kimi?

I agree sovereign markets themselves can be huge but just curious.

New comment by NeumannGod in "Decision models like Jev don't beat LLM-as-a-judge or traditional classifiers"

A low-latency calibrated classifier is very valuable. Speed is not at all a blocker. You could've changed the LM-head of an existing, say 3B parameter or even 30B parameter LLM or do speculation to easily get Jev like outputs - achieving speed is not at all a problem.

It is about getting calibrated outcomes. Jev is able to provide that, which is a major unlock

This is a false comparison. What Jev does is fundamentally different from what LLMs are doing as a judge.

For a quick primer, Jev is able to provide confidence scores on its classification, i.e. it is able to calibrate how well it is able to predict. Being able to predict in a distribution is different from being able to calibrate confidence of the predictions which should happen from the question or domain distribution from which the decisions are predicted - being able to do that is tough and is not same as using LLMs logit probabilities which are predictions in the vocab space. Though both are loosely correlated and might converge as LLMs keep getting better, the former is a much stronger decision-making signal than the latter. Jev not beating LLM-as-a-judge might be due to various other reasons such as world knowledge etc, but Jev as a concept will always provide more reliable decisions / outputs than LLM-as-a-judge giving a scalar score.

Yes apple intelligence is pretty bad. https://alma.inc/ aims to be what Apple intelligence should have been by building a new interface to your computer. And certainly, it won't take up much disk space.

This was about a previous conference. The current article seems to be new information and it's rather unsettling, if true

New comment by NeumannGod in "AJIT, a ‘Made in India’ Microprocessor"

NeumannGod — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 15:28:40 +0000

Hi rwmj,

I think there's been some blur in the goal here. SHAKTI's aim is not to just build a Indian-based server chip manufactured abroad. For instance, if you see their tapeouts page (http://shakti.org.in/tapeouts.html), you can see that they have taped out a chip in India as well with 180nm..

Also, Compressed instruction support has been supported on SHAKTI since and a beta version is now available publicly. The reason for that contact was to try to port Fedora on the already taped out chip which does not support compressed instructions.

SHAKTI processors based on RISC-V ISA (popular in news, a few months ago for https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15684225) has successfully taped out and booted Linux in their first test chip silicon in 22nm Technology node. In Reddit - goo.gl/Z1yZU8
