seriously "big if true"... looking forward to seeing non benchmark tasks and seeing if this actually outperforms opus 5.5

If you take antibiotics so you don't die are you part of the ruling class?

"Applied to 36 and been rejected by 24" as in interviewed with 24 (which would be incredibly good) or been passed on by 24 which is frankly totally normal?

Yes because now it opens the door for future algorithms to chip away at that exponent where as in the past it may have seemed that an exponent of 2 was the floor.

1. you can have luna clean up after itself and improve code 2. you might be doing something like video-editing, cad modeling, artistic direction, pcb routing, etc. that need to run a long time to "converge"

and to squeeze anthropic, and other research innovations, not just chinese models but those help bring price down

cost is dominated by non cached reads

It wasn't really used enough and it sat in an awkward middle space between luna and sol where either luna high/xhigh or sol med were better cost/perf wise

It's before and after following the arrow. 6 is the cheaper one.

Of course they'd charge more if they could... Of course they're pricing to outcompete their competitor...

There are plenty of Jews that support Zionism and consider themselves Zionists that live in NY. You’re speaking from ignorance.

One anecdote for a datapoint: Not sure if it's better now but I've lost a phone in an InDrive and I've lost an expensive bag in an Uber and it was significantly easier and less sketchy to get the bag back. I'm not a price sensitive rider so the insurance of a reputable 'comfort' tier Uber driver paid off. The InDrive driver made me get another ride to him then demanded $1000mxn (~$55usd) to return my phone. The Uber app had me pay ~$250mxn if I remember correctly and the driver promptly returned the bag.

The laws should produce friction but the right friction in the right places. There are too many arbitrary and difficult processes in the US immigration system that keep great people out of the US.

TPUs and ASICs run in data centers too. Your argument only holds true if there's some satisfied limit to demand for inference. If not, data centers will continue to spring up to host more and more agents. Even if agents were running on hardware and software as efficient as the human brain, its conceivable we want trillions of them running at any given time which would require data center scale.

they didn't plateau, the hardware was effectively saturated and it wasn't until later in 2026 that newer hardware came online to provide enough capacity to keep scaling up the models efficiently

As a company... but that includes things like research costs, model training etc. to determine if they're selling electricity at a loss you should look at inference costs bc that's the "thing" they're selling
