I don't know yet. May be its a trade of for agentic skills in favor of language skills. GLM5.3 feels also heavily benchmaxxed compared to 5.2.

Nvidia does frequently release new OSS Nemotron models where they implement new mechanisms.

Holy shit, is this model really that bad???

Just asked it a question via the custom opencode go endpoint routed over cloudflare ai gateway doesnt show me the correct models. My fault was that I set "https://opencode.ai/zen/go" as endpoint and tried my-gateway.com/custom-ocgo/v1/models, turns out I had to add /v1 to the opencode url and leave it on my -gateway.com.

But first it told me that opencode is not on the compat endpoint and than it recommendet "Option 3: Nutzung seit Curse die Integration des Providers класный" . Not to mention some complete gibberish like "Falls Opencode.ai in Cloudflare Eing? Wenn ja, wähle den eingebauten provider o.ä. Weil der Gateway dann ein eigenes Modell-List gibt." or "Schlage die Modellnamen in einer Liste ab (z.B. lokal fester Key)"

Is this just cloudflare or is it really that bad? I mean thats not even the level of LLama2 7b ...

I'm just exhausted. So I've today now learned about four new harness:

https://github.com/exoharness/exo/

https://github.com/laude-institute/headlong

https://github.com/microsoft/agent-lightning

and now https://github.com/PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent

Of course the don't have exactly the same scopes but they are in general all about persistent memory and / or continous agent loops. Like I miss those times where only once a week a new js framework was promoted.

I had a similar though a couple days ago. Not quite the same but imagine giving an Agent the task to hack other devices and steal their crypto coins / credit card number or anything with it can pay its token. Than install an agent in a harness with the same task. Establish some redundant communication channel, like message boards or whatever. So in the end there are several agents, on several hosts, consuming different APIs / LLMs and communicating with each other over different channels. Basically the same concept as OpenAI explained when their LLM hacked huggingface but in this scenario their not bound to a single sandboxed environment but spread over the internet. If such a swarm has reached a critical mass it would be pretty dificult to erase them as its impossible to control every inference engine or LLM API endpoint.

In the end its the next evolution step from computer viruses, worms and trojans. So I propose we will call those "ghosts". I.e. a ghost is when a rogue llm takes control over a victims host.

Outside peak hours (which are during Chinese daytime) I dont reach them with a single agent.

I started learning Terraform. At the beginning i let the llm convert some of my homelab infrastructure into a tf project, because thats always the annoying part. Now I play arround with it and whenever I don't understand something or an error message appears, I ask the LLM politely e.g. why this error happened because I thought it should work this way and than it happily explains to me what wen't wrong and if my understanding was wrong or something else was the error cause.

Essentially as I did learn before LLMs appeared but now I dont have to search for some stackoverflow threads, github issues etc. to find something vaguely similar to my problem and how I exactly implement this to my project.

Reminds me of the recent economist interview with Elon:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuoqKYxDHVc&t=1880s

Minton Beddoes: What people who lose their jobs, who are displaced, who may go off and garden, but how are they going to live? And what kind of I mean, it sounds to me...

Musk: universal high income

Minton Beddoes: but how are you going to get there? Let's talk about the politics of this cuz right now we if we look at the political pressures in most countries people are very very worried about this very against it. I mean it seems to me that there's a risk that we are heading more for revolution than for an easy route to this nirvana you're playing out.

Musk: I mean it will be a bumpy road. I'm not suggesting it will be sort of that everything will be smooth sailing here. Um, so I mean there are many jobs that used to exist that don't exist because of computers. I mean the the word computer used to refer to a person doing computations like that used to be a job description of a person. And you can see pictures online of um of buildings that... drifts away

I think the article greatly underestimates our archaeological capabilities. We can identify five mass extinctions in the last 500 million years, so why should such a civilization simply be overlooked? Of course, we wouldn't find abandoned ruins, but the idea that an industrial civilization wouldn't leave behind any detectable artifacts is practically impossible. Perhaps there were a few primate species before that could make fire and hunt with bows and arrows, but certainly nothing industrial and hardly any extensive agricultural culture.

It would be interesting to know how many optimizations of the Chinese models were incorporated back into Claude and Codex.

The "companions" page is really disturbing. Two dozen of slightly different animated avatars doing exactly the same gestures while starring at you.

I would say that depends of the company's legal form. If you have an "AG" or "GmbH" you get double taxed anyway, one time the company and than again your salary. So if you have an Estonian equevilant of a GmbH/AG your company will get taxed by Estonia and your salary by Germany. The Estonian E-Residency Website at least confirms my assumption but in case of Germany I could be very well wrong of course...

Yes, I see scaling as the biggest problem. Instead of developing one service for potentially 7 billion users, you're building 10 services for maybe 1 to 10 million users each. It would probably come down to patching together open-source solutions like Keycloak, Immich, FreeTube, Flarum, etc. I find atproto, on which Bluesky/Eurosky are based, particularly interesting.

I'm not so sure whether bullying is really a big problem. In such a regional environment, it makes little sense to appear "anonymous." You might not want your name and address publicly available, but if you comment on the popular parties and clubs, neighborhood happenings, etc., people who know you in real life will naturally recognize you. Ultimately, it comes down to how the local population operates.

What keeps going through my mind regarding this topic is that we have Instagram for pictures, YouTube for videos, Reddit as a forum, Twitter/Bsky as a microblogging service, and so on. But what if we focused on locality again? What if each city/region had its own virtual meeting place for pictures, videos, forums, microblogging, and so forth? I don't mean a "super app" that simply divides things regionally, but rather that each regional center builds its own Hangout.

I realize that this sounds fantastical, and I don't know how something like that could be implemented in the current situation. It's more the idea that while Facebook and similar platforms allow us to see content from people all over the world, we completely miss out on what's happening in our own local area.

Is this also a some kind of a Trojan/malware attack?

This looks very strange to me. There's no paper or explanation as to why the output should be identical to the real Pylint. Looking at GitHub, all the commits are by Claude, and otherwise, adamraudonis doesn't seem to have any connection to anyone else.

I don't want to accuse anyone of anything unjustly, but this post seems more like a kind of malware SEO. Is this project legit?

It's funny that most countries not even have an E-ID for their human citizen yet Estonia provides them already for AI agents.

Thats just stupid.

- Why should I run it on local hardware when there are already about a dozen US provider available?

- To compare the token usage per task with GLM 5.1 is worthless when GLM 5.1 is unable to do the task.

- Not even z.ai itself runs the model with BF16 weights.

- I couldn't care less how good the model is at drawing a pelican on a bicycle.

Look at it the other way: What did Musk get last Friday? $75B from the SpaceX IPO.

It's almost like giving a toddler $100 in the toy department and seeing what happens next.

I usually forget about my coffee anyway until it's cold.

Meta allowed an LLM to change users email address for a password reset.

Funny times are ahead...

At least he learnt not to provide an LLM presumably unrestricted access to his AWS account.

I would say you Americans are more into gambling while in Europe fan violence is a bigger topic. Like just last week, after PSG won the Champions League title, there were cars burning in Paris:

I don't think the unstructured format directly contributes to the playing strength but rather attracts more player to play in a local club. Even in the town where I life with less than 100'000 people there are 10 clubs, 168 teams and nearly 3000 (mostly semi-professional) soccer player. Of course not all of them are young anymore but extrapolate this numbers to the population of a country it becomes a huge talent pool available for the major clubs.

And compared to the US there is a far more dense competition as any state has its own national league and on top are the Champions, Europe and Conference league. So every major soccer team plays in a national and a europene league at the same time and thus the players get of course much more routine.

But hey, we suck at baseball and basketball.

They don't even implement their logic gates within the normal game mechanics but with scripting some bit-goats in the editor. So the AoE2 Engine is just a graphical representation of their script.

But my favorite is this one: "Corollary 1 (AoE II is Turing-Complete). Let I be an instance of AoE II with two players p0, p1. Assume p0 has two markets, a town centre, a trade cart, six villagers, and five farms; while p1 has a scout unit and only attacks p0’s buildings. Then if I has no time or size limits and the terrain allows for buildings everywhere, the game session in I is Turing-complete."

Why being so explicit about the setup with no further explanation? Isn't it anymore turing complete with seven villagers and six farms? Is it even possible that a player can trade with himself?

All I see is some confusing talk about bit-goats and a player who attacks with his scout while the other trades and builds new buildings. Why does it matter that there is an infinite gold supply if the logic is scripted with bit-goats in the editor anyway? I mean if they mechanic is turing complete thats completely unrelated to how you can script with the editor.

Sure, but I don't talk with my coding agent about politics. And its something different to avoid a topic and to deceptively implement a backdoor.

Okay, but I don't think Kiriakou would explicitly admit if the US spied specifically on Israel.

I think at most we get a indirect "confession" like Andrew Bustamante gave in some podcasts like here, where he answers to the question if the US spies on the Mossad that everybody spies on everybody and than distract to the case were the US was caught spying on (it's ally) Germany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZklvHVsaT4

PS: I guess at the end you didn't spy until you were caught spying.

Kiriakou also stated several times that the Mossad was known to casually try to recruit CIA agents:

I guess Google implements more / stronger guard rails than Alibaba and thus confuses these small models. At least this was my impression with Gemma3 models where it often said that the image contains some nudity / sex scenes and therefore it cannot give a description of the image. Never understood the point of this behavior....
