Curious can you elaborate on this?

I used their online api, and asked it to create code for a timer i can copy paste into about:blank to test out (prompt below)

it did it successfully, but it did need a follow up correction prompt, overally pretty impressive for a model with 760M active parameters, but definitely not deepseek-r1 level

that being said, if something with 760M active parameters can be this good then, there's a good chance it is likely that api-based models are likely to get cheaper in the future

Prompt ------

``` can you write me some js code (that i can put in the console for about:blank) which will basically create a timer for for me that i can start, stop, and store current values for (or rather lap)

so i want it to create buttons (start, stop, lap buttons) on the page for me with labels and divs and other elements that accordingly record the current information and display the current information, and can accordingly start, stop and lap :)

the js code that i copy paste automatically creates the html buttons and divs and other elements that can manage the timer and accordingly the timer works with them ```

I don't think it's an inferiority complex, negativity sells more and carefully understanding things doesn't sell as much

If you look at their whitepaper (https://github.com/PrismML-Eng/Bonsai-demo/blob/main/1-bit-b...) you'll notice that it does have some tradeoffs due to model intelligence being reduced (page 10)

The average of MMLU Redux,MuSR,GSM8K,Human Eval+,IFEval,BFCLv3 for this model is 70.5 compared to 79.3 for Qwen3, that being said the model is also having a 16x smaller size and is 6x faster on a 4090....so it is a tradeoff that is pretty respectable

I'd be interested in fine tuning code here personally

The link didn't work for me personally, but that may be a bandwidth issue with me fighting for a connection in the EU

This depends on how much better the models will get from now in, if Claude Opus 4.6 was transformed into one of these chips and ran at a hypothetical 17k tokens/second, I'm sure that would be astounding, this depends on how much better claude Opus 5 would be compared to the current generation

Robotics benefits nearly every industry dependent on robotics, being able to expand your market base to countries where individuals have lower incomes obviously provides a boost to companies that wish to sell more product.

It also allows for companies to reclaim their supply chains within the country of manufacture (for high income countries)

yup that's what I meant!, Jevon's paradox applies to resource usage in general and not towards a specific companies dominance

if computational efficiency goes up (thanks for the correction), and CPU inference becomes viable for most practical applications, GPUs (or accelerators) themselves may be unnecessary for most practical functions

Due to perverse incentives and the historical nature of models over-claiming accuracy, it's very hard to believe anything until it is open source and can be tested out

that being said, I do very much believe that computational efficiency of models is going to go up [correction] drastically over the coming months, which does pose interesting questions over nvidia's throne

*previously miswrote and said computational efficiency will go down

I like Svelte more than React (it's store management)
