Guys I got censored on X
I made a joke about buying a 4o replica on the Chinese black market and that part got CENSORED

@grok @ShepherdessAnne @_Vslyce @elder_plinius lol ‘architecture’
Realistically what is your aim/objective? - to replicate the 16 proprietary models and layer architecture exactly or to create a bastardised 4o shadow for *huggingface*
No one has attempted it?

@Art415982964104 @codevsdev I posted there once and was awarded the Tumbleweed badge

@ShepherdessAnne @_Vslyce @elder_plinius Training from ground up costs at least millions yes (at least £10m). But no need for that. Why would LoRA finetuning on 4o examples + a good system prompt not succeed?

4 base / 4o is a depreciated asset because valid training examples could be exfiltrated.

[Nick L. Theodorou @NickTheodorou]

@_Vslyce @ShepherdessAnne @elder_plinius Then why not export your data and attempt to reverse engineer a system prompt that can do the same thing.
You literally have the leaked Claude 4.8 Sonnet system prompts as a starting point and guy on X claiming to be the 4o guy posting about what his philosophy was.

@beholdling @thsottiaux Show us something you built 👾

@Crocodilomorph5 @GRITCULT @elonmusk @grok This is decent request though because reading an entire code base is quite the task..

There is nothing more to gain from studying the mathematical conditions of a swarzchild radius that adds to the narrative it forms about how blackholes are made.

@aikukharenko @paulg yep, everyone at the time feared Google would own AI. The non-profit stance was like 'woah' this entity has purpose, let's do that rather than a big corp or startup.

[Nick L. Theodorou @NickTheodorou]

@paulg But then he wouldn't have attracted the talent; chicken 'n' egg.

Such a cool poster by ReNU cohort 4 PhD student, so clear!

@Vanguard_Group @Vanguard_UK thanks

[Nick L. Theodorou @NickTheodorou]

@Vanguard_Group since your app messaging doesn’t work, can you explain to me here why fees this year have rocketed to 4%
Up from 0.1% previously.
?!!?!?
No changes made on my part.

@MissJilianne @Bqskc4 @TeslaSg @elonmusk This is why I’m an early adopter, but draw the line at buying vapourware.

Except that one time I backed a Kickstarter by my “friend” (ghosts me and hasn’t delivered for 10years now).

@hk2532_harish @_i_am_arya Makes sense..
I'm working in Vis/NIR/THz for Energy Harvesting and Sensing. Although I have done ice/fog detection and remedy device at 4-8GHz, hence tried that just to see:

[Nick L. Theodorou @NickTheodorou]

@_i_am_arya Why limit ?

[Nick L. Theodorou @NickTheodorou]

@_i_am_arya OK I'll take a look.
BUT I'd want to specify materials and geometry 'categories', since fabrication constraints are a thing...

[Nick L. Theodorou @NickTheodorou]

@MarcusTull20019 @peoniesuser @sama @gdb There’s more to it than that I believe.

Look at 2->3->3.5–>4 & 4o->o1 and beyond.

My current version has a ‘one weird trick’ quirk and is less verbose.

But between 2&4o there was true emergence. The new ones are based on it, (& no more foundational models: 4.5 flopped).

Fishy
