I'm using ROG Phantom laptop with Strix Halo iGPU that has a whopper of 128 GB VRAM. Next year there will be the rumored Medusa Halo with 256 GB VRAM, which is more than enough to run DeepSeek V4 Flash.

API for Mythos and GPT Cyber are circulating in the market (That's also why we can use Claude and GPT in China). The open source community has been advancing subscription engineering for a long time, and I don't think Anthropic or OpenAI have any technical advantage in this field.

How do you know it's intended to be read by humans? Don't you see how many web crawlers are there?

There are a ton of methods to probe training data from a trained model, both for open and closed-source models.

For the same reason that GitHub has a releases page for uploading binaries.

MathStudio is the best Android math app I've used. It supports calculus, matrices, equation solving, 2D/3D plotting, with an intuitive UI. It's a pity that it's unmaintained on Android since 2015. I've modernized the APK and now it should support Android >= 7 with armeabi-v7a.

Sure. There's a saying that Marxism is not the thought of Marx alone. Sam Altman is also just a representative of who contribute to and benefit from the AI community.

A digital library needs almost no funding. With today's decentralized networking infrastructure such as BitTorrent and IPFS I bet it just exists forever.

Copyright is a property right, and property right is what we call a bourgeois legal right. It will cease to exist as productive force like AI develops.

They are exactly open source. The training data is the internet. Don't say it's on the internet. It IS the internet.

The training scripts are in Megatron and vLLM.

Choose the correct FIM (Fill In the Middle) template for Qwen in Continue. All recent Qwen models are actually trained with FIM capability and you can use them.

There is DataClaw https://github.com/peteromallet/dataclaw which uploads your Claude Code chats and more to HuggingFace in a single command. Nowadays there are many similar tools.

It's taking advantage of fixed price plans or even free plans.

You don't even need to be a customer served by Anthropic or OpenAI so the Terms of Service are irrelevant. That's how I live in China and use almost free Claude and GPT which they don't sell here.

Apart from local AI, a serious choice is aggregated API such as new-api [0]. An API provider aggregated thousands of accounts has much better stability than a single account. It's also cheaper than the official API because of how the subscription model works, see e.g. the analysis [1].

It would be interesting to show bf code rather than the actual email on the webpage. A lot of OCR systems struggle with this kind of repeated symbols where the exact count is required.

It's not a problem at all. Humans also read books written by humans.

If someone sees this: The ninja package on PyPI [0] currently stays at version 1.13.0 . There is an issue in 1.13.0 preventing it building projects on Windows. The issue is already fixed in 1.13.1 almost a year ago, but the PyPI package hasn't got an update, see [1], and many downstream projects have to stay at 1.11 . I hope it could update soon.
