Anthropic doesn't, but Google and OAI both release open source models. Just not 1T parameter ones.


Exactly, they release cool consumer stuff, but they aren't releasing anything close to the performance of the best open weight Chinese models. They basically compete in the "fun running at home doing basic stuff" scene. (Except OSs 120 by openai but it's been ages since then)


That sentence is giving OpenAI way more credit than they are due.

They released a single open model after being goaded by the community because everyone except "Open"AI were multiple generations into open releases.

We haven't heard a word since, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes them another 6 years to release their next one.


Last paragraph made me chuckle


npm security team has removed the offending package: https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/10604#issuecomment-415...

new installs should be safe now


What a brilliant idea! is this all done locally? That's incredible.


While the vector store is local, it is sending the data to Gemini's API for embedding. (Which if using a paid API key is probably fine for most use cases, no long term retention/training etc.)


works completely locally with a decent model: https://github.com/jakejimenez/sentinelsearch


Make a proof of concept, honestly worked fairly well: https://github.com/jakejimenez/sentinelsearch


I am curious how the TPS compares vs default OS virtual memory paging


I always enjoy reading Anthropic's blogposts, they often have great articles


They did something to Settings after MacOS Monterey that made it very slow. I miss the snappiness of the old app!


I don't know for a fact, but I'd bet a few digits of cold hard cash it's a SwiftUI rewrite that is to blame. (Any1 in the know want to chime in?)

And yeah, it's terrible. Apple doesn't make good apps anymore.

(This is part of why I think electron does so well -- it's not as good as a really good native app [e.g. Sublime Text], but it's way better than the sort of default whatever you'll get doing native. You get a lot of niceness that's built into the web stack.)


Well, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they started using webviews for stuff like system UI: https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2022/inspecting-web-views-in-ma...


"He will not divide us!"


What's that, a little speaker?


I miss those times :(


Club Penguin was a gem. Now all we get are Roblox.


I'm afraid that ship has sailed


I specifically do not use the CN/SG based original provider simply because I don't want my personal data traveling across the pacific. I try to only stay on US providers. Openrouter shows you what the quantization of each provider is, so you can choose a domestic one that's FP8 if you want


Funny, living in Europe, I prefer using EU and Chinese hosts because as I don't want my data going to the US.

The trust in US firms and state is completely gone.


Living in the US, my trust in US firms and state is also completely gone. My only hope is local LLMs.


Tangent note: this sounds like the same mistake as EU's reliance on Russia.


Not really. China doesn't share a border with us, doesn't claim any EU territory, and didn't historically rule our lands the way the USSR did. In the context of spheres of influence and security interests, its strategic goals aren't directly at odds with the EU's core interests.


EU is not a singular country, and Germany or France don't border Russia either.

Considering China is ok to supply Russia, I don't see how your second point has any standing either.


> EU is not a singular country, and Germany or France don't border Russia either.

But soon they could, that's the problem.

Supply? China supplies Ukraine too. Ukraine's drone sector runs heavily on Chinese supply chains. And if China really wanted to supply Russia, the war would likely be over by now, Russia would have taken all of Ukraine.
