FIFY.

I've found experienced devs with AI is a force multiplier, but AI in the hands of juniors however is my hovercraft is full of eels.

The ISTA accuracy looks good on that page, but it's only a chosen handful. Instead, look at most of the graphs on Unsloth's Qwen 3.8 Flash Next - https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.8-next

As always, check the quant vs KLD graphs (half way down that page).. I found that not all quants are the same - Unsloth's GLM Q4 -> Q3 degrades a lot faster than their Minimax M3.1 Q4 -> Q3 ggufs.

Thank you!!

Now, in 2026 I’m excited by LLMs because the combo of Rust+AI is literally an unstoppable force..

It’s a shame they’re building the Lamborghini of rendering engines but refuse to source parts unless it’s delivered on horseback

… I can’t wait for custom resizable models!

FWIW: like the Sims where you have certain levels where you move one up and others non-linearly go down e.g. Speed, Intelligence, Conciseness, determinism, trainability

I’ve said it for a while now both here and to friends - by Christmas next year, US AI labs will be trying to catch up with Chinese open models.

… and I think once Qwen’s latest open model beats every US labs, it’s over.

Each to their own… but why do fridges need to be connected to the internet in the first place?
