70% at launch seems pretty saturated, why ship a benchmark frontier models are about to top out on?

What can this handle? Code? Browser? Computer Use?

Oasis is playable so therefore:

1. Non-cherrypicked in its consistency (if you look at the demonstrations in the Oasis blog post you can find specific cases of consistency which is an anomaly rather than the norm)

2. Is live-inferenced at 20fps. If you use Runway v3 which is a comparably larger and higher quality model (resolution and consistency) it might take a minute or two generate 10 seconds of video.

3. Is served (relatively) reliably at consumer scale (with queues of 5-10k concurrent players) which means that in order to save on GPU cost, you increase batch size and decrease model size to “fit” more players in 1 GPU.

What is the upper bound on the level of improvement (high performance networking, memory and compute) you can achieve with ternary weights?

What’s the difference between all of the other query optimization startups? Bluesky, etc.

How does one select a good candidate for the draft model in speculative decoding? I imagine that there's some better intuition than just selecting the next parameter count down (i.e 70B -> 13B, 13B -> 7B).

Also how does that interact with MoE models? Do you have a mini version of the MoE, with smaller experts?

Is this still the case for sliding window attention/streaming LLMs, where you have a fixed length attention window rather than infinitely passing in new tokens for quadratic scaling? You even get better performance due to purposely downsampling non-meaningful attention sink tokens.

That's not so much a use case, but I get what you're saying. It's nice that you can find optimizations to shift down the pareto frontier of across the cost and latency dimension. The hard tradeoffs are for cases like inference batching where it's cheaper and higher throughput but slower for the end consumer.

What's a good use case for an order of magnitude decrease in price per token? Web scale "analysis" or cleaning of unstructured data?

If you were to serve this on a datacenter server, is the client to server roundtrip networking the slowest part of the inference? Curious if it would be faster to run this cloud GPUs on better hardware but farther compute, or locally with worse hardware.
