If such a backdoor exists, it is probably cryptographically secured to prevent "unauthorized" access. E.g. the xz backdoor was secured like that.

There is only one and for this model you need the one with 128GiB RAM.

They also do not allow non-coding usage of their coding plan in their ToS.

They are talking about the chat template and not the system prompt. With current gen models, the system prompt is only part of a larger pretext that is passed to the model at the start of the "chat". The models are trained on a specific chat template with things like tool lists, reasoning budget, special feature flags and the "system prompt" formatted in a certain template.

Just did a quick write-up on how to modify Firefox's AI features after spending some time figuring out how to modify the prompts/commands.

Isn't that just Google trying to dark-pattern you into finally clicking that checkboxes you unchecked during setup?

Maybe look into model finetuning/distilation. Unsloth [1] has great guides and provides everything you need to get started on Google Colab for free. [1] https://unsloth.ai/

I mean they already supported the project quite a bit. @ngxson and maybe others? from Huggingface are big contributors to llama.cpp.

The thing is, with most banks you aren't even allowed to use the Wero app that has this play integrity restriction. The banks integrate Wero directly into their own apps. So its mostly up to your bank.

Those Ryzen AI Max+ 395 systems are all more or less the same. For inference you want the one with 128GB soldered RAM. There are ones from Framework, Gmktec, Minisforum etc. Gmktec used to be the cheapest but with the rising RAM prices its Framework noe i think. You cant really upgrade/configure them. For benchmarks look into r/localllama - there are plenty.

Thats just the result of the model only supporting russian (and 12 other languages) and not urkainian. It maps to the closest words from training data.

Not sure if its "realtime" but the recently released VibeVoice-ASR from Microsoft does do diarization. https://huggingface.co/microsoft/VibeVoice-ASR

That is a common misconception. In EU law, there are regulations and directives. Regulations are immediately active in all EU countries. In contrast, directives need to be translated into national law by each individual country. The GDPR is a regulation. (for details: https://european-union.europa.eu/institutions-law-budget/law... )

There is "Signed Pages" by the developer of EteSync. It is a browser extension, that checks webapps based on signatures in the html file. The addon then warns the user if the signature is not correct or - if I remember correctly - the source changed. This allows you to be sure what webapp code was delivered. But it seems like it did not really get used outside of his own projects. https://github.com/tasn/webext-signed-pages

VLC is able to cast to Chromecast. You can use it to cast from desktop/mobile.
