Why? Subsidy is saying: you know you can only compete with China if you pay $5 an hour, so pay $10 and we will pay the rest because having a steel manufacturing industry is important to the government. Maybe the sub is based on productivity rather than wage. $ per tonne.

You could deal with that through subsidy. Make the minimum wage livable, then any industry you want to keep onshore for strategic reasons you help out. Free market lovers might hate this but effectively the government does this anyway by definition for everything provided for free.

Any comments on alignment with Anthropic's missions. Last time I checked Anthropic is about building SOTA as that is the only way to do safety research. Making money ans useful stuff commercially is a means to an end.

Silly question time.

Is this a fined tuned LLM, for example drop in replacement for Llama etc.

Or is it some algorithm on top of an LLM, doing some chain of reasoning?

As a kid I did something geeky that no one would need today. A compressed timetable for the train for common times of day that fits inside my wallet. For example if all day the train is 24 and 54 past the hour that is a single row.

No need for that when google maps or a trip planning app can tell you
