@akshay_pachaar In my testing it’s 2x slower than Qwen and on vision OCR not as accurate . Shame - had high hopes

The month has barely started.... This just from 3 days work over a long weekend :) Its a very capable model

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@steipete @0xSero @matijaoe Ask AI to analyse your codebase and show you your AI architecture slop. Interesting what comes back. Make it create a plan and /goal it to fix it🎆

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@levelsio @pepeller Europe is expensive and the accomodation is shit compared to Asia…. But you get Paris and Prague over there

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@Fluyeporlaweb @grok why isn’t this getting much news compared to Hermes’ and Openclaw?

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

Spent the weekend with Grok Build. It’s rough compared to Codex but catching up quickly. Blew my token limit in 3 days. The composer model feels more polished. Better instruction tuning than Grok. Gotta wire in all your own tools/mcps, but doesn’t everyone have that all portable and agnostic anyway.

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@mvanhorn You can pretty much do that by designing a plan in grok build or codex and then /goal it so it doesn’t stop before it’s finished. Needs a decent plan

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@xai Blew my X premium token cap in 3 days ! It’s a good model

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@BenjaminDEKR Reverse merger!

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@rileybrown Cursor in Grok Build is pretty good. Not as polished as codex, but a month ago https://t.co/I47hrHEZwz had nothing in this space and Anthropic black listed them from using their models

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

My favourite Codex Prompt this week. What architectural slop (AI slop) in my codebase do I have - try it out!

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@mervenoyann Using Qwen 3.5 VL for 6+ months. Ran benchmarks today and finding Gemma 12B 4 bit on average 2x slower.

Complaining about things is one, but fixing them myself is another

So I added a [ 🗽 Not woke ] filter to https://t.co/kSbsCmuvBO

"woke" is a bit of a cringe term now, but calling it "Not ESG" would be too difficult

I scraped ALL hotel chains and sites for stuff like "climate change", "sustainability", "ESG", "carbon neutral" and tagged all of them

So now you can AVOID hotels that:
- limit your AC to 25C/77F (common in Europe)
- skip cleaning you room altogether (last 2 hotels I stay in Europe now)
- have no amenities (again I just stayed in them), and other useless stuff that does nothing to save the world at all
- reduce shower pressure to save water so you can't clean yourself
- charge you extra for your CO2 emissions every day you stay (???)

In fact all of this does the direct opposite of make the world better: it makes everyone hate their stay, sweat and have bad sleep, and be grumpy and unproductive all day

Avoid them with my site Hotelist and make the world better! :D

@hthieblot How did gopher not succeed over ftp

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@dvorahfr I hit the limit for the first time last week and got rate limited and SuperGrok Heavy was suggested. The regular plan is very generous

[SemiAnalysis @SemiAnalysis_]

F TIER KEYNOTEMAX: Jensen ComputeX presentation was one of the worst keynotes he has done. He announced nothing new on the AI datacenter side, and he only announced Windows on NVIDIA ARM CPU which the transition will not go work unlike Apple transition from x86 to M1 ARM.

The NVIDIA laptop chip is already delayed by 6 to 8 months from its original expected launch window.  During development, the high-speed connection between the Nvidia and MediaTek parts caused so much interference that the video output was completely broken,

Laptop makers are reportedly being told definitely not let anyone turn them on or run benchmarks. That screams "immature hardware."

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

@thsottiaux God no

[David Siroky @dsiroky]

Japan is one of the most well run beautiful countries I have been to. Crazy that Australia needs 4x the number of public servants per person than Japan.

[Simon Kuestenmacher @simongerman600]

As a German living in Australia the fact that Australia has twice as many public sector workers than France is hilarious.
