I realized I never actually shared any details of the CPU I was working on, other than my tweet cursing the 6502 ISA, so here is a full thread where I breakdown our reduced 6502 that we will submit to TinyTapeout

@SpaceWalkerReal I mean Apple isn't a monopoly, they have plenty of competition all across their stack, Intel (currently) has more power efficient chips, Linux and Windows compete on the OS, and Google offers(IMO) better services (and they also compete with Apple in the lower layers of the stack)
@SpaceWalkerReal I mean no money has actually been earmarked for the buying of condos, only the $3 billion for municipalities to cut development charges
@mathsboi42 like my current local coding model of choice is north mini code(note I still sometimes use cloud models, if I need a big model to handle something)
@mathsboi42 I would argue Cohere's recent model releases are comparable in quality to Chinese models of a similar size, cohere just hasn't released any massive chonker models like some of the Chinese labs have
@mathsboi42 I am personally more hopeful here because I believe that open source catching up to mythos would be very good because people developing apps and whatnot will be able to secure them, instead of getting hacked in the first place
