Firm rents four Nvidia H200s to test '80x cheaper' DeepSeek claim — $13,200 monthly GPU rental doubles Claude bill while security flaws keep code offline
The custom setup couldn't beat DeepSeek's own list price.
Retrieval Augmented Generation in Go
A Go dev builds a RAG system in Go to answer questions on latest Go docs using embeddings and prompt context.
Google Cloud demonstrates the world’s largest distributed training job for large language models
We used Multislice Training to run the world’s largest LLM distributed training job on a compute cluster of 50,944 Cloud TPU v5e chips.
OpenAI has a LOT of work to do if they think Luna can compete with Jev
We've routed decisions on LLM confidence since 2023, and calibration is what we most hope OpenAI's new Decisions API gets right. The model underneath, GPT-6 Luna, isn't there yet: on 3,600 reasoning problems its 99% meant 68%, and by five inference steps it was at a coin flip.
Using Opus 5.5 to discover a new eyewitness record of the dodo
Frontier models can now produce novel historical knowledge, but in a really weird way
Context Language Models
Abstract page for arXiv paper 2609.37725: Context Language Models
The killer app of Gemini Pro 1.5 is video
Last week Google introduced Gemini Pro 1.5, an enormous upgrade to their Gemini series of AI models. Gemini Pro 1.5 has a 1,000,000 token context size. This is huge—previously that …
How do programming languages impact token efficiency and correctness?
LLM coding evals suggest static-vs-dynamic language efficiency claims don't hold; mainstream, popular languages tend to do better on real tasks.
Quoting Matthew Green
[...] Put these pieces together and you have the two halves of a worm: a payload that hijacks the agent, and an agent that will carry the payload to the …

Gemini 4 Argon (High): Intelligence, Performance and Price Analysis
Analysis of Google's Gemini 4 Argon (High) and comparison to other AI models across key metrics including quality, price, performance (tokens per second & time to first token), context window & more.
Ant Group launches Ling-3.1-flash with 560 billion parameters
Ant Group’s InclusionAI has launched Ling-3.1-flash, a language model with 560 billion total parameters and about 25 billion activated for each token. The
Philosophers On GPT-3
Nine philosophers explore the various issues and questions raised by the newly released language model, GPT-3, in this edition of Philosophers On, guest edited by Annette Zimmermann. […]
GPT-6.1 Sol replaces GPT-6 Sol after just 7 days, with near-Astra intelligence
GPT-6.1 Sol replaces GPT-6 Sol after just 7 days. It scores 1 point below GPT-6 Astra in the Intelligence Index at less than one quarter of the Cost per Task
Building search-based RAG using Claude, Datasette and Val Town
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique for adding extra “knowledge” to systems built on LLMs, allowing them to answer questions against custom information not included in their training data. …
