This is the way: a panel of models working together can outperform even the most powerful frontier model (Claude Fable), at lower cost! Model & provider diversity FTW.
Introducing the Fusion API, the smartest compound model in the market. Fusion achieves Fable-level intelligence at half the price. How it works 👇

LLMs are hard to create a moat around it's stateless compute that you can switch overnight when a better/cheaper option shows up all the commotion you see is downstream of this fact as companies flail around trying to fight this

The AUR (Arch Linux User Repository) is continuing to be flooded with malicious code. As of this writing, the Arch team has found at least 1,579 malicious packages (roughly 1.4% of all packages within the AUR), with more packages being updated with malicious code this morning. This includes several popular utilities and libraries, including: gtkimageview, gdl, libgdata, and python-future. A partial list of impacted packages can be found here: md.archlinux.org/s/SxbqukK6I…
There now appears to be close to 900 packages, in the Arch Linux User Repository (AUR) which contain malicious code (including keyloggers). Which means we are closing in on 1% of the entire AUR containing deliberately malicious code.

I'm pre-ordering this today. 128GB of unified RAM, and faster than the Nvidia DGX Spark. Will let you know how this tests out for AI inference and more...

"Chinese open source models are about to fall badly behind as Mythos level models employ anti-distillation." This will age very poorly Distillation has stopped being a capability driver for GLM, Deepseek, Moonshot U can try v4, K2.7 & GLM 5.2 to test this
The only way this move is rational is if the U.S. admin is absolutely certain Chinese open source models are about to fall badly behind as Mythos level models employ anti-distillation. This is in fact more bullish for the AI trade than anything else including limiting international TAM. As long as America can export the products it creates with AI to the rest of the world the AI TAM is global. And the last year of tariff wars has demonstrated that the direction of travel is in favor of American export access. This is bullish AI. The biggest risk was always the Chinese.

Cette vidéo est un véritable cauchemar éveillé pour l'écologiste décroissant. Un robot qui traque la nuit les pathogènes et les nuisibles à la lumière ultraviolette, sans un gramme de produit chimique, ce n'est pas un gadget... De quoi faire s'effondrer toute la théologie écologiste. Ici, c'est bien l'entrepreneur et le marché qui offrent une solution réellement efficace aux défis environnementaux. Pas de contrainte, pas de retour en arrière et pas de renoncement. L'entrepreneur résout le problème en créant de l'abondance là où l'on nous promettait la pénurie. Le rôle du progrès a toujours été celui-là : produire de l'abondance à partir de la rareté naturelle avec comme moyen ultime l'ingéniosité humaine. Reste alors une question : si la technologie résout réellement les problèmes que l'écologisme prétend combattre, pourquoi l'écologisme la déteste-t-il à ce point ? Tout simplement parce que ce qu'il veut, ce n'est pas une nature préservée, c'est une société administrée, dont il serait aux manettes. Comme toutes les autres idéologies constructivistes, socialistes et collectivistes, ce qui importe vraiment à l'écologiste ce n'est pas de résoudre les défis de son temps, c'est de régner sur les hommes de son temps. Le héros sera toujours l'entrepreneur, jamais celui qui le déteste.

The intelligence agencies run the world now and there are basically two factions... There's the gay race communists that run the dei agenda. Think Ukraine war architects. And then there's the right wing who are all grifters and perverts. Those are the guys in charge now.

The flap over Mythos has a lot to do with keeping the MYTH of AI inevitability and mystery alive. Not that different from fake blond outer-space aliens talking to Trump. It's all theater. 'AI' in the sense of LLM neural networks topped out early last year. Improvements since then are useful hacks that produce some minor performance gains, and they want you to beg for it when most people couldn't care less. The wizards are grifters and frauds. Nothing to see here.

I'm glad the top neocons are stuck bagholding a war they've been pushing for, for 30 years. The war is lost, and they have to face the fact they squandered their lives and reputations on the delusion it could be won. They will walk amongst us downtrodden and defeated.

Four of Asia's central banks are hitting the panic button at the same time. India. Indonesia. South Korea. Japan. They are calling it a currency crisis. It is really a dollar shortage. Almost everything that matters trades in dollars. Oil. Food. Materials. The debt everyone borrowed. When a local currency falls, all of it gets more expensive. That starts a loop. A weaker currency drives more dollar demand. More demand weakens the currency further. Japan drew a line at 160 yen. It sold $76 billion defending it. The yen is back below 160 anyway. India has burned through more than $110 billion in forex tools. Its banks now pay non-residents 7.1% on five-year deposits. A five-year US Treasury pays about 4.3%. They are paying up just to pull dollars in. Indonesia hiked rates to 5.5% in an emergency off-calendar meeting. Its reserves are falling at the longest streak since 2018. South Korea inspected its foreign exchange banks for the first time in 14 years. Its stock market fell 8% Monday, rose 8% Tuesday, fell 5% Wednesday. That is not policy management. That is desperation. The problem is not interest rate differentials. It is the dollar itself. There are not enough dollars to go around. And energy keeps raising the need. Selling reserves and hiking rates can slow a currency for a day. It cannot create new dollars. This does not stay in Asia. The region sits at the center of global trade and finance. When the dollar gets this tight, the stress does not stop at the border. It travels.
