I didn’t know that Arendt’s concept of the banality of evil was something people willfully embraced.

OpenAI is now part of the national security state and so is now above anything beyond performative legal vulnerability.

I recently switched to using for some large volume inference with small, fine-tuned models and was surprised how nice and painless things were. vLLM seems to have a lot more gotchas and kludged together stuff once you get outside of anything straightforward.

Let me stop you right there…

I’m old enough to remember the heavenly times before people repeated phrases like “the taxi cartel” as if they were original thoughts vs. cooked up by Uber’s comms team.

I forgot this was in effect. I’ve been hitting my weekly rate limits two to three days in because of needing to steer Slopus 5 with Fable. Absurd that they’re being cut further in the face of steep competition from open weights models.

The datalab models are the best ones.

Undoubtedly, the frontier labs are already doing something akin to this as part of their new chip design endeavors.

I haven’t used their platform so can’t speak to this, but super brilliant team and big fans of their work overall!

Tinker is pretty cheap. Prime Intellect if you want more flexibility.

It’s not “deeply weird” but was intentionally legislated to prevent labor from obtaining similar sectorial bargaining power and political influence as they had in Europe. Some entertainment industry unions had already achieved similar stature pre-WWII and were grandfathered in, but the US learned their lesson here and explicitly sought to atomize at the workplace level.

Use their API directly, this is an openrouter issue. I ran something like 5 billion tokens through them directly recently without any bumps in the road.

Anthropic serves quantized versions of their models and you can run q8 locally.
