"Best model" discourse always remember me of my days in Monster Hunter with people who refused to consider playing with anything other than the meta set for their weapon and then proceed to immediately cart right at the beginning of the hunt :)

With the wealth of models available (open source vs closed, api vs local), I find optimizing the cost-efficiency of your token consumption an important part of business-oriented AI engineering. You don't need "the best" for every task.

When I first heard of "prompt engineering", my first thought was for the Pythia and Roman augurs.

I would do unfathomable things for a movie with period-accurate Bronze Age armor sets.

The US is more of a bouncer on behalf of Israel than anything else, really.

I always find it an illuminating experience about the power of mass propaganda every time I see an American believe they somewhat have the moral high ground over China, despite starting a new war somewhere around the globe either for petrol or on behalf of Israel every six months.

Maybe they just use Qwen Image under the hood ;p

SOTA models war is the new console war.

But more seriously, I can't help but be amused by how emotionally invested in their AI brand of choice people are getting.

My system has 16 Gb VRAM / 32 Gb RAM, and ollama runs qwen3.6:latest at decent speed just fine. The 35b model is a moe, so I guess the whole model is offloaded.

You can run 25-30b model easily if you use Q3 or Q4 quants and llama-server with a pretty long list of options.

More like `ollama launch claude --model qwen3.6:latest`

Also you need to check your context size, Ollama default to 4K if <24 Gb of VRAM and you need 64K minimum if you want claude to be able to at least lift a finger.

Some gems like 428 aside, I'm generally not a fan of "pure" VNs (the style is often much too verbose), but VN/puzzle hybrid games like Ace Attorney, 999/VLR or Ghost Trick have slowly established themselves this past decade as one of my favorite genres.

Not only the Ivory tower. Every facets of society has been captured by the managerial class.

* Mediocracy: The Politics of the Extreme Centre

* The Managerial Revolution

An unavoidable, essential and expensive evolution with the rise (and the domination) of the managerial civilization.
