Because they want to optimize it for their models and don't want to be blocked by waiting for PRs to merge or be rejected.

There's plenty of reasons to start your own fork that you have full agency of, as long as the OSS License is maintained anyone will be able to benefit from any new features they want to make use of.

Everyone has to rely on Iran's satellite images to find out what's happening because Trump is censoring the war by forcing a blackout of commercial satellites from providing any images.

I said speed was great, Cerebas and Groq can provide better performance, likewise Fast versions of Cursor's Composer and Claude.

The reported speed like benchmarks is only a reported number on paper, we'll see how it holds up in real world usage, so far OpenRouter is only reporting 73tps

Ok speed (202.7 tok/s) and value (1.25 -> 2.50) look great, with pretty decent intelligence.

mythz — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:20:27 +0000

Had an M4 iPad Pro for nearly 2 years. Everything's so fast and fluid I doubt I'd notice if the CPU were twice as fast.

If this ever died I'd likely replace it with an Air - the Pro is overkill for what's basically a consumption device.

Yeah ban the use of a catchy catch-phrase as you continue to shove AI down your user-base - that'll work. Streisand would be proud.

It absolutely matters, especially when done in unison like this.

Cancelling ChatGPT sends a signal that you don't agree with weaponizing AI. Switching to Claude says you support Anthropic's principled stance against it. If you have a strong opinion either way, today is the day to vote with your wallet.

Dismissing every small action as meaningless is just apathy and how nothing ever changes.

Perfect timing - Had already cancelled my Claude sub over their OAuth ban in external tools and was about to pick up a Codex sub as the next best alternative.

Ended up renewing my Claude sub today instead. Principled stances matter and I no longer trust OpenAI to be trustworthy custodians of my AI History.

Sam is just about the least trustworthy person in AI, I don't trust his words as face value and I consider these weasel words:

> prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility *for the use of force*

These 2 Exceptions shouldn't have to be disputed.

At this point I'd go far to say I wouldn't trust any company with my AI history that caves to DoD demands for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons.

Your AI will know more about you than any other company, not going to be trusting that to anyone who trades ethics for profits.

Had Cancelled my Claude sub after they banned OAuth in external tools, but just renewed it today after seeing their principled stance on AI ethics - they matter more when they hurt profits, happy to support them as a Customer whilst they keep them.

Servo isn't a JS engine. Do you mean why didn't they abandon their mission statement of developing a truly independent browser engine from scratch, abandon their C++ code base they spent the last 5 years building, accept a regression hit on WPT test coverage, so they can start hacking on a completely different complex foreign code-base they have no experience in, that another team is already developing?

New comment by mythz in "Ggml.ai joins Hugging Face to ensure the long-term progress of Local AI"

mythz — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 14:32:36 +0000

I consider HuggingFace more "Open AI" than OpenAI - one of the few quiet heroes (along with Chinese OSS) helping bring on-premise AI to the masses.

I'm old enough to remember when traffic was expensive, so I've no idea how they've managed to offer free hosting for so many models. Hopefully it's backed by a sustainable business model, as the ecosystem would be meaningfully worse without them.

We still need good value hardware to run Kimi/GLM in-house, but at least we've got the weights and distribution sorted.

New comment by mythz in "Magnus Carlsen Wins the Freestyle (Chess960) World Championship"

mythz — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 02:46:23 +0000

Sure he's still one of the top players, but he's not as strong this year and OP is suggesting he still has an edge against the GOAT, who this year:

- Has won Freestyle WC

- Has won SCC

- Has won 2x Titled Tuesday's

- Has won a Freestyle Friday

Hikaru can snipe a win off Magnus here and there, but I don't think there's any time control or format where he could win a long series of chess matches against Magnus.

mythz — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 01:39:42 +0000

Hikaru is either in a slump or his skill is starting to age: hasn't won Titled Tuesday since November, hasn't won Freestyle Friday this year, came last in Speed Chess Championship, etc.

We'll see how well he does in Candidates this year to see if he's still a top contender. Although I do believe this is his last chance to fight for the world title.

Using a coding plan, haven't noticed any throttling and very happy with the performance. They publish the quotas for each of their plans on their website [1]:

- $10/mo: 100 prompts / 5 hours

- $20/mo: 300 prompts / 5 hours
