<p>Yes, but even nvidia doesn't have unlimited gpus. Everything they hold for internal teams is a reduction in revenue and customers can have aggressive commitments.</p>

<p>This is one of the jagged mismatches between users and LLM developers. The median user doesn't care or want to know about static models and knowledge cutoffs and whether a model can do tool calls or if tool calls even happened. They just want something that works.<p>Fortunately increased capabilities seem to make this a basic expectation with new releases.</p>

<p>It can be quite hard to determine what needs a tool call or not. LLMs are not well calibrated to what they know and don't know, and tool calls can add latency and extra costs. There are lots of things that are "obvious" right until they aren't - especially political events and disasters.</p>

<p>Clem knows they have the community support and potential legal leverage here. It's not unreasonable to ask for a lot. It's in everyone's interests to play nice. Huggingface could do a lot with more compute, even with nvidia backstop. Anything with large scale gpus quickly gets into ~year lead times, "contact sales", and complex talks. Large scale being only > 64!</p>

<p>If you take the recent anthropic misuse report seriously, they don't need to "take over weapons" because they're actively being used to give a lift in capability to groups who already want to use weapons.<p>> The six cases in this section are divided into two parts. Part I covers four cases in which the actor in question used Claude to develop software for weapons themselves: a guided rocket program, in which the actors conducted a live field test; a design and proposal work on a system to intercept torpedoes; software for a drone swarm, tested in simulation, with its code loaded onto real boards; a targeting software for electronic warfare and for suppressing air defenses.<p><a href="https://www.anthropic.com/threat-intelligence-report-september-2026" rel="nofollow">https://www.anthropic.com/threat-intelligence-report-septemb...</a></p>

<p>> Maybe you’ve already heard about the guy who resigned from OpenAI.<p>While he worked at both OpenAI and Anthropic, he resigned from Anthropic. Mistaken reporting in the first few sentences, definitely a horror concept.</p>

<p>That might be true, but nothing else has been as effective at accelerating model development and research sharing.<p>In earlier circles they were known as the "pytorch-pretrained-bert" guys, still under the huggingface company name. IIRC it was a health chatbot type startup.</p>

<p>The canary string was more about inadvertent scraping or analysis in other papers. Not direct training on user data. And the use of BB has eroded quite a bit, with BB-Hard or other variants being typically used.</p>

<p>Folks are concerned that nvidia won't support these efforts if it gets models running on competing hardware. Two responses:<p>- The projects started without HF/nvidia involvement and were massively successful BECAUSE folks want to run models on their own devices.<p>- With highly capable agents, "hard to implement" should be less of a barrier. The inference market should in some sense become more efficient, as agents should make it easier to transition between software and hardware solutions. Sure there might be less training data for integration platforms, but if we've learned anything in the past few weeks, it's that agents can be remarkably persistent.</p>

<p>Care to comment on this model from a quite serious company being labeled as derived from GLM?<p>Also, do you have a source for: "99% certainly european chips, almost certainly EIC-funded. (Eg. Hailo, Axelera, ..)"<p>For Hailo, the best I can find is <a href="https://hailo.ai/products/ai-accelerators/hailo-10h-m-2-ai-acceleration-module/#hailo10m2-overview" rel="nofollow">https://hailo.ai/products/ai-accelerators/hailo-10h-m-2-ai-a...</a><p>Which states that this is a 40 TOPS int4 PCIe device, not what you'd put in a datacenter and certainly not what can run a frontier class model (or the model above). Embedded devices for inference are really cool! But that's the opposite end of scale for what goes into a data center.</p>

<p>On Artificial Analysis it's listed as "Quasar 438B (max, based on GLM-5.2)" - so you see exactly right.
