Most programming is that, but most music and literature are probably uninspired junks as well. But there are many beautiful algorithms (such as the ones in Knuths books) that are more beautiful than any music for me personally.

I think at the current stage of LLM, it just doesn't make sense to ever have an annual sub. Things change too quickly that you really don't want to be stuck with one model.

If anything that'll be more obnoxious because they have to show the government that it's safe.

This announcement also mentioned that they will release the next version (official non preview version) of v4 in mid July.

Is it only the Indian government? I don't think that's in any way unique to India, I've seen many poor government websites.

Ah got it. Reread previous comment and that makes sense.

Sol? Looks like openai is jealous of anthropics good model naming ability and wants to emulate it.

Hmm your last sentence seems to exactly agree that it's a class of algos that parallelize well? What does sped up arbitrarily mean? It's still polynomial speed up right?

So is it a class of problems that can be parallelized well?

I read quite a few posts about this on RedNote.

That's not true, some of them are indeed fake, but a lot of them are actually providing real opus at low cost doing what op said.

Even as a GLM z.ai fan, I wouldn't pay for their plans. They are just way worse values than gpt or anthropic plans, in terms of both usage and capabilities.

If AI is so good, then why don't we have perfect compatibility layers between OS's for games yet?

The official API is FP8, which should imply that it's lossless.

There are definitely some Chinese bots + actual people (imagine that!) who like to talk up Chinese models, I'm one of them but I like to find out how good these models really are before saying anything.

GLM definitely isn't opus level yet but it's for sure good. I think it lacks some knowledge (when coding) that the frontier models possess, which is expected given that the model is probably quite small when compared to the frontier.

But people don't say much about Mistral, probably because they are nowhere as good.. And they don't have large population behind them to actually use them.

Fun fact: Zhipu aka Z.ai, Knowledge Atlas etc., the company that made GLM, is listed on Hong Kong stock exchange, is up over 10x since the IPO at the beginning of this year.

I indeed got a few timeouts yesterday using the official API, I imagine for the coding plan users it'll be even worse.

Many other open source models have vision but they don't compare to GLM in terms of coding quality. So I don't think it's because of vision that the frontier models are better, it's more that they are probably just much bigger models.

I don't know what people mean when they say design lol, is it for frontends?
