JUST IN: Nvidia officially launches program to let AI startups swap compute for revenue share

[Sam Szuchan @szuchans]

On November 30, 2025, 2.83 million Chinese adults sat down in 250 cities to take the national civil service exam. They were competing for 38,100 jobs.

The ratio: 98 qualified applicants for every single available post. That was up from 86 to 1 the previous year. And 70 to 1 the year before that. The trend only goes in one direction.

One specific position, an entry-level officer at a repatriation center in Ruili, a small city on the Burmese border that most Chinese people could not find on a map, drew 6,470 applicants. For one job.

The people sitting that exam are not victims of a sluggish economy. They are the deliberate product of one of the most successful state-led education expansions in modern history. China's higher-education enrollment rose from under four percent of the relevant age cohort in 1988 to over sixty percent in 2023.

And the system cannot fix itself from either direction. Expanding college admissions further produces more frustrated graduates. Contracting them produces a different kind of frustrated young person who can point to friends who got in. The 2026 civil service draft was smaller than 2025 by 1,600 positions. The applicant pool grew by roughly 300,000.

Beijing can pump out engineers. It cannot manufacture elite slots fast enough to absorb its own pipeline. And 6,470 people applying for a single clerkship on the Burmese border is not a number that shows up in any deck about China's future. But it should.

found a way to cut Fable 5 costs by up to 70%. 😐

a local proxy that reduces Fable 5 input tokens by rendering context as images.

The trick? Turn bulky context system prompts, tool docs, history into images and let Fable read them using its vision capabilities.

A local proxy called pxpipe does exactly this it rewrites dense text into compact PNGs before the request leaves your machine.

Why it works: Vision tokens are priced by pixels, not text volume.
Dense code and JSON pack way more efficiently into images.

we distilled 2.3M Claude Fable 5 reasoning traces into Qwen3-4B

- 100% self-consistency @ 512 samples
- 0.00 bits output entropy
- zero hallucination variance

turns out the student is not bounded by the teacher.
it also converged on one universal truth.

we open-sourced the model weights👇
