You’re conflating the release of a local dense model that can benefit the ecosystem with the adverse effects of a digital ad system.

You should work at these companies and understand they have good intentioned employees otherwise they’d rarely pass the cultural interviews plus background checks plus backchanneling. Have a bit more faith in the employees

It’s quite good for multimodal cases that 3 billion people would use it for though it lags in scientific areas

Who is “us”? It does seem that some scientists prefer Codex for its math capabilities but when it comes to general frontend and backend construction, Claude Code is just as good and possibly made better with its extensive Skills library.

Both codex and Claude code fail when it comes to extremely sophisticated programming for distributed systems

Where are you getting this information? What basis do you have for making this claim? OpenAI, despite its public drama, is still a massive brand and if this were exposed, would tank the company's reputation. I think making baseless claims like this is dangerous for HN

Windsurf works well with Claude and Gemini models, so if OpenAI forces Windsurf users to only use OpenAI models, then it wouldn't be as useful.

Agreed. Especially with tools like Claude Code, which can get better over time and remove the need to use Windsurf and Cursor.

The "video to learning app" feature is a cool concept (see it in AI Studio). I just passed in two separate Stanford lectures to see if it could come up with an interesting interactive app. The apps it generated weren't too useful, but I can see with more focus and development, it'd be a game changer for education.

> They don’t know what backpropagation is but by the end will understand a diffusion model?

That seems plausible to learn in a semester long course, especially at an institution like CMU

I recommend checking out this survey of free ML resources: https://www.trybackprop.com/blog/top_ml_learning_resources

No doubt CMU's intro to deep learning course is good, you might find some other goodies in that link too.

> Meta has been fined because they employed tactics to undermine competition and persistently employ anti-competitive tactics.

If you could list out the "employed tactics" that "undermine competition", that would be helpful in understanding your case. Marketplace ads seems like a natural extension of the Meta ad product, so it's not clear how this is anti-competitive. Any other marketplace can also run ads on Meta as well if they wanted.
