1. openrouter is API usage. There is obviously consumer side

2. people often use openrouter for the sole purpose of using a unified chat completions API

3. OpenAI invented chat completions; if you use openrouter for chat completions often you can just switch your endpoint URL to point to the OAI endpoint to avoid the openrouter surcharge!

4. Hence anyone with large enough volume will very likely not use openrouter for OpenAI; there is an active incentive to take the easy route of changing the endpoint URL to OAI’s

Schemas can get pretty complex (and LLMs might not be the best at counting). Also schemas are sometimes the first way to guard against the stochasticity of LLMs.

With that said, the model is pretty good at it.

Resouce-affording, if you are chasing the frontier of some more niche task you redo your training regime on the new-gen LLMs

Is it though? There is a reason gpt has codex variants. RL on a specific task raises the performance on that task

Sure never again is totally fair and I am sure a lot of people hate it. I was mostly objecting to the radioactivity of it. Your friends will be more like “I am looking to sell my Tesla in 3 months” if it is truly radioactive.

Let’s be realistic in our portrayal here.

I think radioactive is a strong word here… I have talked to a lot of people in tech

> And if for some ungodly reason you had to do it in Python

I literally invoke sglang and vllm in Python. You are supposed to (if not using them over-the-network) use the two fastest inference engines there is via Python.

Agreed, I am surprised he is happy to stay this long. He would have been on paper a far better match at a place like pre-Gemini-era Google

New comment by runeblaze in "Using Generative AI in Content Production"

I don't know the data distribution, but are you sure that's generated by an Adobe model? I can only see that it is in Stock + it is tagged as AI generated (that is, was that image generated by some other model?)

Disclaimer: I used to work at Adobe GenAI. Opinions are of my own ofc.

Emmmm sure, but throw this to a human artist who has not heard of Indiana Jones and see if they draw something alike.

I work in this space. In traditional diffusion-based regimes (paired image and text), one can absolutely check the text to remove all occurrences of Indiana Jones. Likewise, Adobe Stock has content moderation that ensures (up to human moderation limit) no dirty content. It is a world without Indiana Jones to the model

My personal mantra (that I myself cannot uphold 100%) is that every dev should at least do the exercise of implementing binary search from scratch in a language with arbitrary-precision integers (e.g., Python) once in a while. It is the best exercise in invariant-based thinking, useful for software correctness at large

runeblaze — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 08:20:39 +0000

each text token is often subword unit, but in VLMs the visual tokens are in semantic space. Semantic space obviously compresses much more than subword slices.

disclaimer: not expert, on top of my head

beats me. I spent so much time learning what a fundamental group is and I still cannot tell ppl what a fundamental group is convincingly.

I can’t even make stuff with fundamental groups.

New comment by runeblaze in "Memory access is O(N^[1/3])"

runeblaze — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 22:24:21 +0000

Ummm guys when we talk about memory access in theory can we just be rigorous and talk about the computational model?

The real RAM model “in theory” tells me that memory access is O(1). Of course real RAM is a spherical cow but like we could use a bit more rigor

Yea experience is very useful (it is very hard to exert influence without power and be the tech lead of a team unless you have some corporate experience) but at some point one needs to realize that if someone was writing Haskell at the age of 12 and they got decent scores at USACO they would make quite a decent engineer...

Python types - all the onus of static types, with none of the power of calculus of constructions. /s

sure of course one does not need types to do natural deduction… if you throw what you showed me to your average maths undergrad in the US they will get confused — I truly don’t see how proofs are simple
