Hacker News: Palmik

Elon Musk openly admitted to distilling OpenAI's models [1], which I think explains the "based on our experience with Elon Musk's companies violating contracts".

Last year, Anthropic cut off Windsurf the same way [2]. Fortunately, unlike Anthropic, OpenAI allows you to use your subscription with other harnesses, including Cursor.

Of course today, Anthropic is taking the "high road" and is OK with with SpaceX [3] including their models in Cursor, because they need SpaceX's compute.

There seems to be a big increase in posts that link to OpenRouter for no good reason, even when a better sources are available.

OpenCode offers this with ZDR agreement in place. Seems better than OpenRouter if you want to test it out: https://x.com/opencode/status/2090544355824038300

The link should be changed to this.

As of now, there is only a single provider for this model and that's the official DeepSeek API.

When GPT 6 comes out, would you expect the top thread to link to OpenRouter?

Doesn't appear to be opensource (and neither is DeltaDB, it seems), unlike Zed. Any plans to change that?

Why does this link to OpenRouter, which has no useful information on its own? Linking to the official API or the benchmarks would make more sense:

- https://api-docs.deepseek.com/

- https://x.com/ChrisGPT/status/2087572834650407024/photo/1 (officially posted on WeChat, this is just one of many reposts)

Low, High and Max, obviously, can't be compared across models. They only mean the model is likely to spend less reasoning effort (~output tokens) with Low than High on the same, *single shot* task.

But even in this very post, you can see that Max was actually cheaper than High.

If you are using API, you should be comparing based on end-to-end cost or speed or whatever blend of those two matches your cost/time budget.

Will these be compatible with the Digital Credentials API in Chrome (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/digital-credentials-api-or...) or will websites be essentially locked out of friction-less age verification?
