It's official.
The weights of Kimi K3, a model that is matching (or at times even exceeding) the capabilities of Mythos/Fable 5, are now freely accessible on HuggingFace.
This is a Claude-tastrophe for Anthropic, and a major victory for humanity as a whole.
JPMORGAN TURNS BULLISH ON STOCKS
JPMorgan said its tactical positioning monitor is flashing a buy signal, pointing to further upside for the S&P 500.
The bank expects lower bond yields, a weaker dollar, steady Fed policy, and strong earnings to support equities, while warning that semiconductor positioning and U.S.-Iran tensions remain key risks.
The hottest model in the world just started turning away paying customers because there isn’t enough compute to serve them.
This is the neocloud thesis in one post.
📲 @PayPal and @Venmo checkout is now live on @CoinflowLabs
No redirect. No separate integration. Just two of the most-used wallets in the U.S., built directly into checkout.
This is our network of networks in action.
Payments keep fragmenting — PIX, PayPal, Venmo, crypto wallets — and none of them talk to each other.
Merchants shouldn't have to stitch that together.
Coinflow connects the networks.
Merchants get paid however their customers want to pay. Settlement happens instantly, underneath it all.
More networks. Same ledger. Same instant settlement.
Archimedes second stage engine full duration burn - complete ✅ (and what a thing of beauty).
The AVac (Archimedes Vacuum) engine produces 1.2x lbf of its Stage 1 variant and stands ~2.5m taller thanks to its extended nozzle optimized for the vacuum conditions of space.
Recent AVac testing included a stub skirt for the nozzle. Since full length vacuum nozzles at ground level risk flow separation and instability, stub skirts are used to anchor our engineers' analysis for how the engine will perform with the full nozzle in vacuum conditions - all critical preparation for Neutron's first flight.
What the fuck is the United States doing. Everyone is out on a Monday night for this. This tournament happens once every 4 years. You’re on home soil. The entire city of Seattle is 4x vacinated and wasted off craft beer getting so loud for this game. Wake the fuck up
And now for something (almost) completely different.
Welcome to Out of Scope, a new sub-series of Validated where @Austin_Federa and Tori Pastore, aka @Bonecondor, aka Birb, riff with guests on hot takes so off-topic you’ll forget this is typically a blockchain-centric podcast.
In this debut episode, they sit down with @AustinCampbell to discuss what some might call too many subjects for one hour. Running stablecoin reserves, repealing the 17th Amendment, why some banks resemble cartels, market structure, why regulators should be paid more and held to higher standards, modernizing the BSA, and (most importantly) a definitive ranking of video conferencing tools.
