You have some fundamental misunderstandings on how LLMs work.

You’re not getting it. The probabilities do not change at all. The only change is given some probabilities there is a deterministic method for determining which symbol was sampled from that distribution. The distribution or sampling process itself is not modified.

He said it nudges it to be more deterministic. Your comment is not correct.

This is mostly slop. But you may be directionally correct

Really really cool. If they can serve this efficiently it would disrupt a lot of things.

I think your own math leads to the conclusion the public apis are not serving models of that size. They couldn’t afford to

3/4 are actually negative value for most customers

Your answer presumes we cannot hold people accountable. I think that is incorrect.

Most of these errors will not be meaningful. Real speech is full of ambiguities. 3% is low

I think you're bang on the money fwiw. But also worth mentioning that it's OK to ask rather than trying to predict and feeling that having to ask means failure

This is clearly a partisan website (see its name). Read with a large grain of salt.

Yann was in charge of FAIR which has nothing to do with llama4 or the product focussed AI orgs. In general your comment is filled with misrepresentations. Sad.

Sora is about data gathering. This take is too simplistic.

There's still too much fat, or rather people who just add net negative value. My org would benefit from firing easily 50%.

I'm surprised at the model dim being 2.8k with an output size of 200k. My gut feeling had told me you don't want too large of a gap between the two, seems I was wrong.

This is normal. Rope was introduced after bert/gpt2

New comment by Nimitz14 in "The anti-abundance critique on housing is wrong"

Nimitz14 — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 20:49:43 +0000

What is it like living a life completely ignorant of reality?

If you'd like to learn, feel free to ask chatgpt on the leftish pushback against abundance. Or historical examples of leftists blocking housing projects. Or environmentalists prioritizing niche interests over those of the general community. There are many, many examples.
