I would love to know how they are going to handle deepfakes.

Also, doesn't this give law enforcement an easier avenue to compel access to someone's accounts?

Interesting. I wonder if there is opportunity to train a set of small model variants to excel at a certain stacks. Eg Qwen3.6-27B for Node + React or Qwen3.6-27B for Rust + TUI

And if they do, their lawyers will use Claude to construct their legal case… which Claude silently nerfs as well.

Sure, but it did better on the test, which matches OpenAI's claim. More bang for more buck.

Interestingly, using your tests as a comparison, 5.5 low beats 5.4 medium at a 82% of the cost.[0]

I’m only seeing 3x the cost of DeepSeek for other providers on Open Router. Is there a better place to look?

It that true?

Placed my cursor at the top of the hour peak on the 'Peaks' clock. Few moments later, it shifted slightly to the left. Had a bit of existential dread as I saw time slipping away.

Nice clocks though.
