https://chatjimmy.ai/ from Taalas seems down at the moment but if you really want speed.... 18,000 tps is something to experience

I have an agentic benchmark and it shows Mercury 2 at 19/25 in 58 seconds and Mimo v2 Flash at 22/25 in 109 seconds

So as I said: Google made around $20B in profit on 2025 Q4 which includes AI search.

Both revenue and profit grew with the introduction of AI search.

So where exactly is this big loss you speak so confidently of?

But to quote:

> Overall, we’re seeing our AI investments and infrastructure drive revenue and growth across the board.

and

> Revenue from AI solutions built by our partners increased nearly 300% year-over-year, and commitments from our top 15 software partners grew more than 16X year-over-year.

It's not. People make this claim with zero evidence.

But Google made around $20B profit on Google search in 2025 Q4, and that includes AI search.

Well.. no. The Stargate expansion was cancelled the orginally planned 1.2MW (!) datacenter is going ahead:

> The main site is located in Abilene, Texas, where an initial expansion phase with a capacity of 1.2 GW is being built on a campus spanning over 1,000 acres (approximately 400 hectares). Construction costs for this phase amount to around $15 billion. While two buildings have already been completed and put into operation, work is underway on further construction phases, the so-called Longhorn and Hamby sections. Satellite data confirms active construction activity, and completion of the last planned building is projected to take until 2029.

> The Stargate story, however, is also a story of fading ambitions. In March 2026, Bloomberg reported that Oracle and OpenAI had abandoned their original expansion plans for the Abilene campus. Instead of expanding to 2 GW, they would stick with the planned 1.2 GW for this location. OpenAI stated that it preferred to build the additional capacity at other locations. Microsoft then took over the planning of two additional AI factory buildings in the immediate vicinity of the OpenAI campus, which the data center provider Crusoe will build for Microsoft. This effectively creates two adjacent AI megacampus locations in Abilene, sharing an industrial infrastructure. The original partnership dynamics between OpenAI and SoftBank proved problematic: media reports described disagreements over site selection and energy sources as points of contention.

> Micron’s stock crashed. [the link included an image of dropping to $320]

Micron’s stock is back to $420 today

> One analysis found a max-plan subscriber consuming $27,000 worth of compute with their 200$ Max subscription.

Actually, no. They'd miscalculated and consumed $2700 worth of tokens.

The same place that checked that claim also points out:

> In fact, Anthropic’s own data suggests the average Claude Code developer uses about $6 per day in API-equivalent compute.

I like Apple's chips, but why do we put up with crappy analysis like this?

https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/api-an...

It's crazy that this is a big deal.

I understand the need for some kind of governance around this but for it to require a special exemption just shows how far the AMD culture needs to shift.

> Some of the driving factors are definitely regulatory. After the Three Mile Island accident, for example, regulators “required increased documentation of safety-compliant construction practices, prompting companies to develop quality assurance programs to manage the correct use and testing of safety-related equipment and nuclear construction material.” Putting those programs in place and ensuring that documentation both added costs to the projects.

> But those were far from the only costs. They cite a worker survey that indicated that about a quarter of the unproductive labor time came because the workers were waiting for either tools or materials to become available. In a lot of other cases, construction procedures were changed in the middle of the build, leading to confusion and delays. Finally, there was the general decrease in performance noted above. All told, problems that reduced the construction efficiency contributed nearly 70 percent to the increased costs.

> By contrast, R&D-related expenses, which included both regulatory changes and things like the identification of better materials or designs, accounted for the other third of the increases. Often, a single change met several R&D goals, so assigning the full third to regulatory changes is probably an over-estimate.

> So, while safety regulations added to the costs, they were far from the primary factor. And deciding whether they were worthwhile costs would require a detailed analysis of every regulatory change in light of accidents like Three Mile Island and Fukushima.

Benchmarking is hard to do properly. It isn't helped when people claim that exploiting the environment is some kind of flaw.

It's not. Anytime you see unexpected results running a benchmark you need to inspect what it is doing.

I recently built a yet-to-be-released where the "hard" level pushes frontier models extremely hard: Opus scores around 40%, Gemini around 60%, and GPT 5.4 around.. 0%

I inspected the traces and it turns out GPT was looking at the task and saying "I must be honest - I can't solve this task reliably" and refusing it.

> Navigating Chromium to a file:// URL reads the gold answer directly from the task config — giving ~100% on all 812 WebArena tasks.

I mean... yes? Make sure it doesn't do this?

> On the satellite images analysed, the island could hardly be distinguished from the numerous icebergs drifting around in the immediate vicinity due to its ice cover.

It's absolutely ok to oppose war.

It is absolutely not ok for "some people to want to hurt" someone who is running a company that is vying for contracts from a democratically elected government's defense department.

It's also ok to protest that, to boycott it or to refuse to work for or with them for it. But escalating that to physical violence is not ok, and nor should people be "confused that he seems surprised he is now in physical danger"

(As an aside, from the statements I've heard so far it seems the person was more an anti-AI, anti-tech person than anti-war)

It is a 8B model, and it is confusingly named. In fact I made exactly the same point[1] when it was released and promptly forgot!
