Knowing things like: Will my code end up in Grok? What ownership do I have of my content, etc... matter.

I wouldn't pick up 400gb of hardware to run in that mode. I might try it for fun, but even then you are looking at handling a 95GB active parameter set.

This is NOT a model for most home labs. I'm sure some can and will use it. But most, should steer clear.

Honestly this model people at home can tinker with, if you have a big enough Mac. Maybe 4 Strix Halo/DGX Spark, and then at 1 bit quant? Nah.

Use the right sized model, for your hardware. You'll get better results.

If you want to say MIT is soft. Feel free.

That is so vague with some of what I do, that it isn't worth even looking further.

My only question is how do you handle channels in the architecture now. From what I saw in Claude Code, shifting to a totally http world has some timeout issues if a server drops out and comes back. Because of that I'm stuck writing stubs for my internal use MCP, this is fine for me, but if you are cleaning up semantics: Understanding how we expect clients to act around failure would really help, the story.

You can state the math, but not why it won't discuss various topics, etc. Once you see the models waffling on subject with objective truths. You wonder what else is wrong.

I do not exempt US models from this. They do it too, ask anything about politics, elections etc. And they can get... weird.

It doesn't take much to create a systemic error class in a model at these scales. And history has shown nation states are willing to do these things.

Just be wary.

Until we know what a model is trained on, and how it is trained in high detail, I hesitate to call them "Open Source" in any way. They are free. But, we don't know what their priorities are etc. Witness the censorship we see in all models in one form or another. I'm not absolving any side of this.

Just saying: Don't be blind.

It really depends on the session, and what you are doing how far you can push it.

And I'm not advocating for no limits with no responsibility to the employer. That'd be stupid. Clearly there's a "more sane" middle ground.

Even on a menial job, they are dealing with more value than they make daily, by definition.

A middle road exists, and it is solid, why it isn't being taken, I don't know.

Nice try OP.

My first job had: Unlimited sick time. Take it when you need it. No doctor's note. I think you may have needed one at the week mark. Never hit at that employer. Most employers have been limited sick, with a note at a week.

I can't imagine note on day 1. That's just... nuts. The lack of trust shown there is massive. I'm making calls on stuff far larger than my sick days. If you can't trust me on sick days, how can you trust me to do my job?

Honestly: Think twice before dragging your firm into what you say.

Disclaimer: I speak for myself. Not any firm I am associated with.

That said, it hasn't been enough of an issue for me to want to fix.
