Turns out this recipe works for distilling INT4 quantized models too. Here’s a comparison between an image generated with an INT4 w4a16g32 quantized model and the unquantized bf16 version of the Z-Image-Turbo DiT.

Nearly identical outputs. Can you spot the difference?

All the evidence we need to know that GPT-5.5 is really launching today.

[SlopOrNotAI @SlopOrNotAI]

Introducing Slop or Not for macOS.

[Clean Links @CleanLinksApp]

We just added Safari extension support to Clean Links on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

And if you want zero outbound connections, you can turn on "Disable Network Requests." In that mode, known tracking parameters are still removed, but short links stay shortened.

How the tables have turned

[Clean Links @CleanLinksApp]

Coming soon in the next update to Clean Links for macOS. Spot and clean tracking URLs on any website. Works fully offline. Also available on iOS.

The Nano Banana 2 leaks are insane.

You can’t even tell what’s real anymore.

But I found this AI content detector that instantly flags Nano Banana 2 images.

(Meet Slop or Not👇)

.@Deloitte If you’d like to avert such disasters in the future, our app is available on Apple’s Institutional Purchase program. #justsaying

🚨 New launch: @SlopOrNotAI hits the App Store today - the world's first on-device AI content detector for iPhone! Catch AI-generated text and images right away, with all data staying private on your phone. In a time of rising AI fraud, scams, and misinformation, dodge catfishes on dating apps by checking profiles, spot fake news on social media, verify product reviews before buying, or confirm essay originality for school. Unlike cloud-based detectors that leak data, ours uses custom models locally for both. No logins, no telemetry, no logs. Free download with daily checks - It’s time to fight back against AI Slop!

[TR @Thilak]

@baxiabhishek Exactly why we built @SlopOrNotAI - so you can easily check if content like this model is real or generated

[Private LLM @private_llm]

There’s an App for that.

Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo.

In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨

With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

[TR @Thilak]

The latest beta of @SlopOrNotAI now supports detecting images generated by Nano Banana.

[Clean Links @CleanLinksApp]

Ecosia will make great stewards for Chrome, because they’re so tightly integrated into the Google ads ecosystem. Greenwashing FTW!

[Clean Links @CleanLinksApp]
