Nope. But we are hitting some pretty impressive levels with 128B models.

The other thing is, a lot of the time, model performance is improved with more 'thinking' time.

The thinking time is just more tokens... but instead of say 1000 tokens or 10,000 tokens worth of thinking its 1,000,000... how does that improve model performance? Could a 128B model hit levels of GPT Sol?

The Gemini (and Claude / Codex) that we have, is much different to their internal models / harnesses.....

> A monthly thing makes no sense; just letting hobbyists dabble until they are in a place to pay used to be a lot more normal. They ought to make the entry for paying a bit less heartburn-inducing, though.

Thats exactly what they do. They dont charge at all even if they do make loads of money.

The thing is, Cycles is fully open sourced... so there is no real secret behind it!

I believe that the answer is yes it will happen... the question is when will that point will occur.

Right now, we are in a transition period... Models are improving, but they are not capable just yet to take over.

Where do you see it being in a years time? or 2? or 5?

Thats the thing, what if the codebases had CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md files, which clearly dictated that

A) tests need to pass

B) anything you write needs tests

C) the code quality must adhere to these standards

etc.etc.... Helping the LLMs that people Vibe code with, produce better quality results.

By not having these in place, it means people who want to help out, cant. because htey dont understand whats going on.

adding stuff to these files, woudl allow developers to give guidelines / guardrails for developement using these agents.

Should the barrier of entry be someone who knows how to code? or should the barrier of entry be someone who is motivated to help with open-source software.

The thing is, it doesnt need to beat 4.7. it just needs to do somewhat well against it.

This is free... as in you can download it, run it on your systems and finetune it to be the way you want it to be.

On the flip side, i had some pain in my chest... RUQ (right upper quadrant for those medical folk).

On the way to the hospital, ChatGPT was pretty confident it was a issue with my gallbladder due to me having a fatty meal for lunch (but it was delicious).

After an extended wait time to be seen, they didnt ask about anything like that, and at the end they were like anything else to add, added it in about ChatGPT / Gallbladder... discharged 5 minutes later with suspicion of Gallbladder as they couldnt do anything that night.

Over the next few weeks, got test after test after test, to try and figure out whats going on. MRI. CT. Ultrasound etc.etc. they all came back negative for the gallbladder.

ChatGPT was persistant. It said to get a HIDA scan, a more specialised scan. My GP was a bit reluctant but agreed. Got it, and was diagnosed with a hyperkinetic gallbladder. It is still unrecognised as an issue, but mostly accepted. So much so my surgeon initally said that it wasnt a thing (then after doing research about it, says it is a thing)... and a gastroentologist also said it wasnt a thing.

Had it taken out a few weeks ago, and it was chroically inflammed. Which means the removal was the correct path to go down.

It just sucks that your wife was on the other end of things.

Love the AI generated image, "Extra-Large (>72pt) Font". Made me chuckle. Definetly a feature of the app.

But looks really cool ill be trialing it this week!

AMD does do semi-custom work.

Whats to stop sony being like we dont want UDNA 1, we want a iteration of RDNA 4.

For all we know, it IS RDNA 5... it just wont be available to the public.

This is in Melbourne, where most homes are sold via auction (because of the limited supply)... lots of people are forgoing building inspections because of it. Wouldnt be surprised if he didnt do one.

Claude Code Pro ($17 per month) now supports it, just ends earlier

The other thing is that this is supposed to sit in between 3d rendering and compositing with regards to VFX

The 3D render, in an ideal world, is super smooth without imperfections.

The compositing, would take the denoised 3d render, and add other imperfections such as film grain, bloom, and other post effects.

I have never had Blender take 1:52 to open... ill open it now cold. 5 seconds.
