May be my tasks are rudimentary but the results I get with the 4.5 model are just the same as 4.7 or 4.6. it's just at the advanced models consume more tokens and and are actually loss making for my work. The incremental changes that they are making are not really that valuable. In fact I have found that even glm 5.1 is giving me something equivalent to what Opus 4.6 gives. Am I missing something that everyone else is cheering for in these small incremental model releases?

It is truly stupid that they are trying to make it more human-like. They should have added a radio button to turn off these sort of customizations because it doesn't help some of us. Just pisses me off. It is supposed to be an answering machine, not some emotional support system.

I reduced the temperature to between 0.1 and 0.. It still generates gibberish, Just more precise.

I went on to read to the Terms and Conditions further and was relived to find no mention of "oH yeah! if you use it for longer than a month, you owe us your life and your kids will be forever indebted to the great emperor behind the wall."

A slight correction here. Beef production and the growth of corn and feed stock for beef production is the one that is responsible for extensive release of GHG.

There is a reason why pasteurization as a process was developed.

Sidelining all the interesting stuff that the article discusses people decided to focus on the picture of Lenna. Yes, I understand it is a problem but it needs to be dealt with in a collective manner by tech community, by say introducing an alternative.

OP This is not addressed to you but to other folks in the comments.

The two obsidian itself is very open and it's free for use. Those making demands to reduce price or make the project open source are just thankless. How do you plan to make the business sustainable? Someone has to pay developer salaries, right?

You want open source? Use MarkText, Zettlr. The company is generous enough to offer the main product for free.
