GaggiX··on Gemini 3.5 Flash
If you don't need SOTA or near SOTA there are plenty of dirt cheap models, just look at Gemma 4 31B on Openrouter.
GaggiX··on OpenAI and Government of Malta partner to roll out ChatGPT Plus to all citizens
The fact that a nation provides free access to SOTA models to all his citizen via this partnership, I mean it's not something I have seen before, therefore I find it interesting, also Malta is not too far from me.
GaggiX··on OpenAI and Government of Malta partner to roll out ChatGPT Plus to all citizens
I'm not Maltese and I did find it interesting.
GaggiX··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
The C compiler written by Claude a few months was able to compile a hello world.

The main problem I think that it was extremely slow.

GaggiX··on AI's Economics Don't Make Sense
Using larger contexts often costs more in the APIs or consume more of your quota but this is becoming less of a problem with models using more clever attention mechanisms and not just full attention on all layers.

You can look at: https://sebastianraschka.com/llm-architecture-gallery/ and see how much things have changed.

GaggiX··on First G-SHOCK with a heart rate monitor, also featuring Smartphone Link
First G-shock G-LIDE*
GaggiX··on Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model
The model uses Gated DeltaNet and Gated Attention so the memory usage of the KV cache is very low, even at BF16 precision.
GaggiX··on Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model
At 4-bit quantization it should already fit quite nicely.
GaggiX··on A simplified model of Fil-C
Fil-C is much slower, no free lunch, if you want the language to be fast and memory safe you need to add restrictions to allow proper static analysis of the code.
GaggiX··on Has electricity decoupled from natural gas prices in Germany?
Much better idea to just buy oil and gas from Russia /s
GaggiX··on Codex pricing to align with API token usage, instead of per-message
MiniMax M2.7, MiMo-V2-Pro, GLM-5, GLM5-turbo, Kimi K2.5, DeepSeek V3.2, Step 3.5 Flash (this last one is particularly cheap while still being powerful).
GaggiX··on Codex is switching to API pricing based usage for all users
There are plenty of good models on Openrouter that are very cheap, maybe it's time to experiment with alternatives.
GaggiX··on Google releases Gemma 4 open models
>so despite the name it is probably best compared with the 8B/9B

It runs much faster than a standard 8B/9B model, the name is given by the fact that it uses per-layer embedding (PLE).

GaggiX··on Cohere Transcribe: Speech Recognition
There is also: https://github.com/linto-ai/whisper-timestamped

It doesn't use an extra model (so it supports every language that works with Whisper out of the box and use less memory), it works by applying Dynamic Time Warping to cross-attention weights.

GaggiX··on Miasma: A tool to trap AI web scrapers in an endless poison pit
I will copy the supermarket and paste it somewhere else.

I'm also going to download a car.

GaggiX··on Miasma: A tool to trap AI web scrapers in an endless poison pit
Because the internet is noisy and not up to date all recent LLMs are trained using Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards, if a model has learned the wrong signature of a function for example it would be apparent when executing the code.
GaggiX··on Miasma: A tool to trap AI web scrapers in an endless poison pit
These projects are the new "To-Do List" app.
GaggiX··on Solar is winning the energy race
I'm not from Pakistan but Karachi is the only vertical city in Pakistan, most people lives in apartment buildings, I would suggest looking at other cities like Lahore.
GaggiX··on Anatomy of the .claude/ folder
It may be survivorship bias, you only notice the AI ones that are bad.
GaggiX··on Olympic Committee bars transgender athletes from women’s events
>It's clear how insane this culture war against trans people is when you consider this only applies to trans women and not trans men?

I believe the logic is based on the fact that male athletes are stronger than female athletes.

GaggiX··on FreeCAD v1.1
I was not expecting so many improvements in this version alone, I'm impressed. I was already using it for 3d printing but now it seems it's getting actually good, makes me wonder how I was able to use the previous version.
GaggiX··on Epoch confirms GPT5.4 Pro solved a frontier math open problem
You can train a LLM on just multiplication and test it on ones it has never seen before, it's nothing particularly magical.
GaggiX··on GPT‑5.4 Mini and Nano
Open source models like MiniMax M2.5, GLM 5, Kimi K2.5 were not decent enough? (via openrouter)
GaggiX··on AirPods Max 2
I have used Soundcore q20i for more than a year, and I'm sure the AirPods have a better sound and have a better noise cancelling, but the difference in price $549 and 30€ (as I bought them) is pretty insane, also my Soundcore q20i last much longer than 20h and the noise cancelling is already quite good.

Edit: also has a proper cushion on the headband.

GaggiX··on Starlink militarization and its impact on global strategic stability
Nowadays Starlink terminals to operate in Ukraine they have to be approved so right now Russians cannot waste them anymore on drones as it's much harder getting one working (in the past they have been).
GaggiX··on Are LLM merge rates not getting better?
I have no idea how a London market in the 18th century should look like so I cannot challenge that but recent models like nano banana ones, Z-image (on a lesser extend) can generate images that are essentially indistinguishable from actual stock photos, this wasn't true for late 2024 models, with wonky backgrounds, too smooth skins and general lack of details (the classic AI-look that AI images had).
GaggiX··on Are LLM merge rates not getting better?
Image quality has improved a lot in recent months thanks to better models. The ability of people to notice these improvements is plateauing because they are not trained to spot artifacts, which are becoming more obscure.
GaggiX··on Are LLM merge rates not getting better?
How the "costant function" result fits the data points better than a slope that has two parameters instead of one.
GaggiX··on Show HN: How I topped the HuggingFace open LLM leaderboard on two gaming GPUs
This reminds me when people were doing crazy stuff to improve the first Stable Diffusion model by swapping layers, interpolating weights, documenting which layer was most responsible for the quality of the hands etc. At the end the final models had dozens of different ancestors.
GaggiX··on US missile hit military base near Iran school, video analysis shows
>and was likely determined by AI

Based on what? It could be just grep "police".

Also, I cannot find any other sources mentioning that the "Police Park" was bombed except for this tweet: https://x.com/tparsi/status/2029555364262228454 (also used by the page you linked)
