12 hours ago we opened Dropstone 1.5 quietly. No homepage, no press, no announcement. Developers have already run 13.9M tokens through it.
For organic usage with zero marketing, we can't find a stronger dev-tool soft launch on record.
Try it: https://t.co/v5OYShfvbA
this is quite literally why we can't have good things
you are a terrible human being and do not deserve the generous gift to society modal freely confers upon us all, every month, asking nothing in return
you can get 24 free PRL using modal's $30 free gpu credits and most people are sleeping on this π³
modal gives you $30 free compute when you add a payment method
that's 8 hours on an H100 GPU, enough to mine PRL for free
here's how:
> go to https://t.co/tyqXEwjMJ3 and create an account
> add a payment method to unlock $30 free credits
> open your terminal and run:
> git clone https://t.co/Of3QKjeVrW
> open the akoya_modal.py file
> edit the WALLET field with your wallet address
> run: modal run akoya_modal.py
> done, GPU starts mining PRL serverlessly
no hardware. no electricity costs. just free cloud compute doing the work
$30 in credits = 24 PRL for free
dyor as always
@ClementDelangue Much harder to finetune LLMs for fun, no place to publish them without paying what would be impossible for most hobbyists, potentially more than compute
Figures like TheBloke, etc. could never have such an impact in the HF of today
@ClementDelangue HF no longer optimizing for open-source?
End of an era but looking back the era ended long ago
With the addition of storage quotas
Not that I hold it against HF
It had to be done, of course
But it did mark an end of an era
Launching @codefaucet in a few days to beta testers, and then will roll out more widely to everyone in a few weeks!
Unlimited, unmetered DeepSeek V4, Kimi K2.6, & GLM-5.1 on tap π°
