1/ Today, I'm excited to announce ✨Mixlayer✨.

Two years ago, I reoriented my life around a singular mission: to build the best inference platform for open source AI.

@ryanvogel is this dax driving around his miami estate

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

One of our most requested features, and frankly something I've been a bit embarrassed we've had missing for so long. Proud of how it turned out though, take it for a spin and let me know what you think!

Introducing Analytics, now generally available.

Teams can now get a real-time view of inference traffic, including request volume, error rates, token usage, model-level breakdowns, tool calls, and more.

Want to see what production-grade inference observability looks like? We’d love to show you, sign up today and get started for free at https://t.co/mtMSIKVi5a.

if fable 5 agrees to do your work instead of downgrading you to opus, you’re in the permanent underclass

[Sriram Krishnan @sriramk]

just to state the obvious: think there's a collison course between those who believe research and science should be open and those who believe we are in an accelerating singularity curve.

I have many smart friends who have believed both for a while but seeing more and more their realization that these beliefs will be in conflict.

I for one believe that America and the west needs open and distributed access to research and computation and sharing of ideas at all times.

This is the leopard telling you, plainly, it’s coming for your face.

Building an AI product? Ask how Anthropic justifies a $1T+ valuation without major market expansion. What happens when they compete with you?

They pulled up the ladder for researchers and engineers first. Anyone else is next. Anthropic believes it’s the one true arbiter of AI safety, and that erosion of its moat is an existential threat to society. That premise will justify any restriction or sabotage they want.

Open source AI matters more than ever.

mythos will be bad ON PURPOSE on ai "frontier llm research" tasks, this is very very sad for the research community

also the fact that this is un purpose not visible to the user is crazy

[Daniel Auras @rasdani_]

this is the biggest wake-up call to protect and nourish open source AI

if you don't build out sovereign and independent models+infra closed labs will patronize you to an insulting degree

[will brown @willccbb]

of course i understand the second order effects. i just don’t agree with the world anthropic wants. i think it is darker, worse, and not nearly as safe as anthropic claims it is.

i much prefer a world where progress is slow and diffuse, yet uncontrollable. capital consolidation is one of the biggest factors driving capability speed. if the secrets are out and models are distillable by default, margins get compressed, clusters get smaller, inference is cheap, training runs focus more on specialization than god models. the world gets to build the ai future together.

i am unsympathetic to the arguments about china. they’re gonna build their chips eventually. we are racing to out-accelerate them and build an insurmountable lead and let a couple people be lightcone king in the name of western liberal values as a side effect. and then what? it’s dark. i will keep fighting against it.

@badlogicgames same..

June 9th Researcher Reciprocity License

"if you train on it, you let us generate - reverse terms of use void"

Status quo
1. We teach frontier devs with ICLR/NeurIPS papers, OSS Github contributions
2. They use it to make frontier models
3. Then ban us from exploring our ideas

We need a new license, original thinkers can't be an underclass to a tyrannical researcher fiefdom

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

@calvinluvsrice @aj_hugs I live around the corner and eat here all the time, it's awesome actually

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

@sammysintech the only answer is waymo, but tbh lime is the fastest way to get across the city if you can deal with the downsides

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

@Romy_Holland the ant traps do nothing for me, I spray the interior and exterior perimeter of my old house once every few months and don’t have a problem anymore

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

@TheMayorPete @paularambles there are def some days where I wish I had it

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

feels good man

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

spared no expense

[Chris Evangelista @cevangelista413]

Big fan of all the buttons and switches in the original JURASSIC PARK. They all look satisfying to use.

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

@tenderizzation why we gotta have all those transposes anyway

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

@paularambles their food is pretty good considering tho

[Zack Angelo @zackangelo]

@paularambles is that a new sauce or just the lighting?
