A panel of 3 budget models beat GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8 on a deep research benchmark. At about half the cost of the top frontier model.

thanks to @OpenRouter for their tech blog
A 12B coding model mocked on r/LocalLLM as a "buzzword mashup" is actually textbook execution-verified distillation.
But cost isn't the main axis: in winner-take-all work, a 9-month lag is a handicap, not a bargain.

Tesla recently patented a new format (.smol) claiming 4x reduction in IOPS.
That’s not a storage tweak.
It’s an architectural statement.

@45Drives@OpenZFS I was looking at openEBS and zfs-localpv as an alternative to ceph for higher performance on kube app, but this seems a very nice tech
@OpenAI please make it possible to switch from google authent to email.
My company is currently leaving google and even after deleting openAI account it is impossible to switch to email authentication.
In a typical #ceph#stretch#cluster with 2.5 zones we have 2 regular zones mon+osd and 1 zone mon only.
In order to preserve HA, it is advised to customize replication rule and to use replication=2 & min_size=1. It seems much more resilient to use replication=4 & min_size=2.
@ceph@RedHat it seems to me something is wrong with the label of latest ceph container image https://t.co/EJD7KnBdHC is missing some labels and broke the installation process on air gapped env.

Europe is bleeding tech talent, and no one's talking about it.
A senior engineer in Paris makes $65K.
The same role in Silicon Valley? $320K.
This gap is creating the biggest talent exodus in European history.
Here's the brutal reality behind Europe's massive brain drain 🧵:
