Tracking LLM releases, tech, benchmarks and AI commentary

@shownotover @borrhensaidi No you don't

@leographv Large games can fit on several discs, the storage capacity of a single disc isn't a limitation here. Corporations are simply doing everything they can to limit the usefulness of physical releases, and ultimately, they want to get rid of them

[Jan 🌕 @jan_volad]

It’s honestly painful reading the comments under this post. The amount of trained, obedient little Rockstar slaves is unreal. They’re defending their favorite multi-billion dollar corporation like their entire existence depends on it

The era of physical game releases is dying because 80% of people either don’t give a shit or actively defend it, which is completely unhinged. Digital isn’t owning the game, it’s a rented license they’ll yank away whenever they feel like it. But people are out here defending this exact thing. They want to own nothing, and they’ll be happy

That’s also exactly what these mega-corporations want: everything digital, under their control, so they can spit in consumers’ faces because it benefits them. And the Rockstar and Sony bootlickers are still cheering

The future’s going to be wrecked by these corporations and the people who enable them. Hope Cyberleek leaks the ending or drops a playable version, even some old build.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Fuck Sony and fuck Rockstar

@CtrlAltDwayne People don't usually buy local AI hardware to save money, but rather for privacy, freedom, and the assurance that no one will ever downgrade their model overnight just because they feel like it, as is often the case with Claude models

@Chahatusharma @jun_song Qwen3.8-Flash-Next → 128GB+ recommended
GLM-5.3-Flash → 256GB+ recommended

@cryptocamaro209 @traviswilson59 @Nizar7MW @RockstarGames Why should I care about two discs? RDR2 was also on two discs, and somehow no one complained, but that doesn't change the fact that physical editions are simply much better

[Jan 🌕 @jan_volad]

It’s about the very act of resistance against the anti-consumer tactics of multibillion-dollar companies. Getting rid of physical copies is very convenient for corporations: You own nothing, they can charge you whatever price they want (sales are rare, whereas stores can offer whatever discounts they want on physical discs, especially for older games), and you can’t borrow or resell the game to anyone

Because of this idiotic attitude that many people - including you - have, which is to ignore it when someone is openly spitting in your face, the future is seriously fucked, and not just when it comes to gaming

@ZixuanLi_ Cheaper and better than DeepSeek, this model is insanely good

[Jan 🌕 @jan_volad]

As soon as they manage to get the $10 plan to include $60 worth of monthly usage for GLM 5.3 Flash, I’ll immediately cancel my ChatGPT Plus subscription and switch to OpenCode Go. GLM 5.3 Flash is much better than Luna, roughly on par with Terra, and ridiculously cheap via the API, though this sub isn't offering any incredible value so far

[Jan 🌕 @jan_volad]

@code_hippo @LuminaBench Cheaper than DeepSeek V4 Flash in input and output, but around 4x more expensive in cache tokens.

[Jan 🌕 @jan_volad]

GLM-5.3 Flash is honestly insanely good.

57 on AA for just $138, 63% on DeepSWE, $0.15/$0.50 input/output, open weights, vision, 1M context, and you can realistically run it locally on high-memory hardware

The only thing that really hurts is cache pricing. $0.03/M cached tokens is ~4x more expensive than DeepSeek V4 Flash off-peak, and for long coding/agent runs that adds up FAST

But overall, I’d still take GLM-5.3 Flash over GPT-5.6 Luna. Not just based on benchmarks, I tested it extensively as Ox Alpha, and in my own coding/agent tasks it consistently felt better while also being cheaper

It was especially phenomenal in Hermes Agent. If you use Hermes, I seriously recommend giving this model a try there

I’m just really happy we’re at the point where models this good seem to drop every few weeks. https://t.co/mno3jJZgL9 absolutely cooked

@RyanABLTN The billionaires and their corporations are spitting in your face, you piece of shit, and you think the problem is that I have a problem with it

[Jan 🌕 @jan_volad]

You’re moving the goalposts. The claim was that companies can ‘break’ the physical copy itself. An account ban restricting access on one platform is not the same thing

The disc still exists, can be used on another account or console, and can be resold. Conflating platform policy with ownership of the media doesn’t make your original point true

[Jan 🌕 @jan_volad]

@yones86876 @seanaintsmart Not only PlayStation problem. That's how all digital copies work, regardless of the media or provider

[Jan 🌕 @jan_volad]

@BeefStewDPOY @seanaintsmart they're an issue now because corporations are trying to kill off physical releases. Having a choice is always best.

Movie licenses work the same way as game licenses. Sony can revoke your licensed access whenever the terms allow it, and when that happens, there’s basically nothing you can do except cry about it.
