That's one heck of a pelican!

Agreed on Opus 5.5 being a great model. It's the first one that I trust for long running (>1 hour) tasks.

This type of project looks extremely useful. There was a lot of buzz around Jev, but having models that run locally and can be fine-tuned is extremely helpful.

Glad my work blocked this. But can we get a NSFW tag? If this is NSFW?

I'm confused.

This seems to imply that they used Claude Opus 5.5 before it was released on September 22nd.

Many people knew this announcement was coming. The betting markets suggested a very high likelihood of Opus dropping today. I was anticipating this quite a bit!

Not sure this is as nefarious as it might look at first glance.

Disney+ supports a variety of content types - some of which naturally have ads.

A big example is the Super Bowl (coming in February), which has always had ads.

An aside - isn't it nice that have been fewer model releases the past week or so? A brief respite!

Just gave it a look. Turns out to be a paid service after a bunch of clicks.

Seems like a well designed policy. Currently for one year and up to the middle school level.

Most LLMs can do a pretty good job of this out of the box.

If you have a coding agent available, ask it to try transcribing a few of the PDFs.

I had the same inspiration!

I spent a days reviewing the lecture notes for CS336: Language Modeling from Scratch - and then trained a nanoGPT-esque model in PyTorch.

I'd recommend trying it for those who are curious. Computational bottlenecks become much more intuitive when you've looked at the overall process.

Typically, companies file these patents to protect themselves against patent trolls.

I’d imagine they could. I’d try Gemini 3.5 flash with high fps.
