Their CISO literally acknowledged it and then they all continued ignoring it again. This isn't just bad process, this is a broken security organization.

Most automated analysis isn't dependent on just behavior, but rather suspicious things in the code itself. You have a popular open source package with files that exist on pypi but not github then that's a big flag, or if a similar package suddenly has some base64encoded garbage that runs through an obfuscated exec call. In other words the simple fact that the project has obfuscated code is enough to flag for further attention.

That said if the only issue is time, researchers will just run their automated analysis through machines with dates in the future alongside their normal tests.

China is releasing open weight models you can simply run yourself.

Yup, this is one of the many reasons why I prefer OpenCode as my agentic harness of choice. If I'm confused about something I can just read the source code.

The courts have never said piracy, which is how the training sets were originally built, is legal. There are several court cases still ongoing over this.

More memory means less aggressive quantization, more concurrent requests, and larger context windows. I also get a boost in tokens per second (not double, about 1.5x compared to a single GPU).

The 35B model is an MoE (mixture of experts), which uses only a subset of parameters at a time. The 27b one is slower but has way better performance.

No, I use Qwen3.6 27b for everything.

I have a Linux box with two 3090s and it's been great for running Qwen3.6 27b. I lowered the power on each card down to 250w, and then built a small ducting/fan system to vent the waste heat outside. The machine is pretty much silent, and I'm still getting 110 tokens per second out of it for coding tasks.

This is just not true. There have been leaks due to micrometers in just about every section of the ship at one point or another. A quick search pulls up examples of US modules having issues, especially around interfaces and seals. NASA had a whole investigation between 2018 and 2021 about the recurring issue.

So you both used Anthropic models (Opus 4.7 being from Anthropic)? I'm struggling to understand what your comparison really was here.

Frankly the non-profit has failed. OpenAI is one of the least open of the AI companies (Anthropic is a bit worse). If it wasn't for the labs in China the dream of an actual open ai system would be dead.

They literally threw out every line of code that existed before and rewrote it in a completely different language, seemingly on a whim. That's how it was trashed, in the very literal sense that all of the existing project was tossed in the trash in favor of a completely brand new code base. That's a big deal even if you ignore the coding agent aspects.

Yeah that was a typo, I meant 4.6.

I've had the opposite experience, and have built multiple fantastic applications with Qwen3.6 27b. What quantization have you tested with?

I've completely replaced GitHub Copilot using Sonnet 3.6 with OpenCode using Qwen3.6 27b, and it's been a great experience.

AWS literally did that. They paid for full time developers to contribute back to the redis code base, including core redis developers. If you actually look at the redis code base the majority of it was written by people who never worked for redis.

AWS literally paid for developers for the redis project, including the salary of core members. It's not like they didn't contribute back to the community.

> AWS stomped on open source projects - despite the clear desire of projects like Elasticsearch, Redis, and MongoDB not to be cloned and monetized, AWS pushed ahead with OpenSearch, Valkey, and DocumentDB anyway, capturing the hosted-service money after those communities and companies had built the markets; the result was a wave of defensive licenses like SSPL, Elastic License, RSAL, and other source-available models designed less to stop ordinary users than to stop AWS from stripping open-source infrastructure for parts, owning the customer relationship.

This is completely backwards, at least with OpenSearch and Valkey. AWS didn't create the forks until after the upstream projects changed their license, so it's really weird to say that the forks "resulted" in the license changes when those forks where a response to the license changes. With Valkey in particular it was members of the former redis core development team that created Valkey.

When it comes to understanding large organizations I think a simple principle should apply:

The Purpose of a System is What it Does[1].

Whether malicious or not, the system does what it does. If people wanted it to do something else they would change the system. The reality is that when corporations make mistakes that benefit them those mistakes rarely get fixed without some sort of public outcry, turning the "mistake" into a "feature".
