<p>I'm not so sure. Especially with 3.6 Flash being 24 to Sol's 22. The 3.x Flash models were thought to fit on a single TPU 8i and it's the odd one out in that list at a whopping 234.7t/s compared to Sol's 64.4t/s and Opus's 56.3t/s. Even 3.1 Pro is a much higher 113.9t/s than the others.<p>I think AA-Omniscience Accuracy follows your expectations better. An ultra size Fable at 61%, followed by large frontier models like Sol, 5.5 and Opus. With Flash being up there. I assume because Gemini is more focused on general knowledge to operational cost in particular, rather than getting the highest scores in coding benchmarks. If you go to Domain Score (Normalized) you'll see that the Gemini models are only less competitive in Software. And that's where Sol goes from 6 in Health to 71 in Software.</p>

<p>An LLM is stateless so every time you send a message a command is run with the parameters, the prompts, and a copy of the chat history when using one of those chat interfaces, and then it returns text. If the output includes explaining it to an LLM that would then be included in the copy of the chat history placed in the new command.<p>It would be a bit like opening a text editor and typing in that you want to increase the font size. Someone external to the text would have to come along and click the font options.</p>

<p>This is amazing! I can see in a few years having Home Assistant use an LLM to coordinate my home while I'm away. Tell the LLM to make an inventory of my home and then send the vacuum and the robot around to clean everything up. A multimodal LLM can inspect pictures for items that need to go in the dishwasher, the laundry or needs polishing and reorganise my closets to best allocate space, make the beds, take care of the plants. It has all day to do it while the solar panels provide ample energy anyway.</p>

<p>The US already has their Strategic National Stockpile for medicines.<p>Shorter expirations are managed by constantly selling the old to the domestic industry and purchasing new, like China does for grain and frozen meat while simultaneously being able to keep the market more stable by selling high and buying low. Switzerland has a lot of stockpiles, even including coffee[0], which the companies also go through FIFO.<p>0: "The 15 big Swiss coffee retailers, roasters and importers, such as Nestlé, are required by law to store heaps of raw coffee. Together, these mandated coffee reserves amount to about 15,000 tonnes—enough for three months’ consumption. The government finances the storage costs through a levy on imports of coffee. All 15 companies are in favour of maintaining the coffee reserve—as long as they are paid for it." Economist 2019</p>

been superseded by DSpark two weeks following the DeepSeek-V4-preview release."</p>
