Doesn't an enterprise account already use API rates? If that's the case, there's no difference. You'll end up paying less because Pi will typically use less tokens for the same texture of requests.

I guess I'll ask what weird definitions of safety you've been seeing.

I don't see the virtue in it?

I agree. Some title edits are clarifying, but this one isn't helpful.

The paper is about super-intelligence (not in the way people are claiming that term now, but in the "beyond human intelligence" sense), and the title here is about the "frontier", which by definition is the current SoTA.

This is virtualization, so localhost will just be the virtual iphone itself. But you should have some command of how hosts are resolved, so you can always point the browser to the device hosting what you want to test, no?

Even easier, of course, is just using the iOS simulator included with xcode, which runs on your host computer. There, localhost resolves to your host computer.

> The point "AI is structurally a technology that tends to concentrate power" is not that correct. They need this statement to be true, otherwise no way to justify the trillion evaluations.

How is it not true?

The biggest companies in the world are, quite obviously (just look at the numbers) going to be AI companies. The most powerful governments in the world are quite clearly going to be those that are close to (or in control of) AI companies. People have a very hard time seeing the second order effects of the control of intelligence - we need to fix that.

There'd be no shame either way. Pi is built on the idea that you should ask it to extend itself.

Why not just have multiple instances of pi inside one of the many multiplexers out there? Tmux, Zelliij, herdr, for example.

Output quality immediately comes to mind, of course.

Models are converging, but they converge in bands, and frontier is frontier. I would not like to have any workflows in any area of my business where output is generated by an assortment of models from different providers. For trivial, mundane tasks that might be fine, but it certainly doesn't apply across the board.

is there prior art to the EU banning a new technology to protect an old one?

They can make the claim to know what it is like to be you as much as you can make the claim that you know what it is like to be a bat.

Could they? Under what business model? Maybe the numbers for the paid products just weren't there and they see this exit as a positive for the team?

> is Zed capable of using a Claude Code Subscription?

Yes. Zed connects to Claude Code via ACP.

They most certainly are. This is Jevons paradox.

If it does do that, it doesn't feel that way. I never found it particularly repetitive.
