writing native gui code is atrocious, add to that llms being horrible with ui dev and you end up with with what you describe. but at least if we get more non-ui stuff written in more efficient languages there is going to be some benefit.
The idea that agi would help us cure all the human deceases, esp house built into our generics or developed over millions of years gotta be the top indicator of our own stupidity.
What’s with fascination with agi/superintelligence? It seems people working on it never had kids and just want to compensate for that. It’s a really horrible thing to try to “solve”.
Try doing a refactoring of some sort or larger new feature using just an agent on a moderately sized codebase, 256k will be compacting every few minutes, and result will be unusable.
there are plenty of orgs where writing more code is not a good thing, in fact it's the last thing they want. but yet these orgs would still employ 80%+ of all developers, not necessarily to write code though.
unless they launched 10t param models, or figured out some amazing new way to compress as many params into say 100b, I doubt it's anywhere near "mythos level". and I have no idea how many params mythos has but that was just some hear say.
it’s not been useful anywhere else - no self driving cars, no laundry helpers - just some idiotic animatronic carcasses that are barely able to walk around, and semi autonomous killer bots on ukraine frontlines.
Qwen models are actually very competitive with frontier models, and you can run them on your local computer. Gotta have a decent graphics card and by that time the current cost of the rig may not justify it over paying $100/month for cloud model but it’s all out there.
Well, it was great while it lasted - I had fable build me a bunch of stuff this week that opus was just screwing up too much and could never finish. Good thing there are plenty of choices now even if US gov fucks up US AI.
Pro/max subs are not as flexible as bedrock in api use and don’t seem to run the same models either - often times they are notably dumber (quantized I guess) than bedrock equivalent.
Opus regularly bitches and wines to me how long something will take and that I should think before asking it to do it. But then it does it anyway in 15 minutes.
considering they work with any architecture/configuration given enough compute, just more or less efficiently - then maybe it's fundamental, in the same sense as why electricity works...
I like gpt oss - great model even if not too smart.. runs on my laptop at over 100ts has a certain tone that I like over all these qwens stuck up their asses.
You can only run heavily quantized models on all 3/4/5 rtx gpus (with 32gb or less vram) - and you probably want moe versions like Qwen 35b for this to run at speed somewhat comparable to Claude. It’s still not there to be honest but getting there. Personally I mess around with llama.cpp on m5 max with 128gb - it’s a decent setup to try various medium sized things, and runs llms surprisingly well without quantization, at least the moe models.
