This S-1 is a FRAUD because it PURPOSEFULLY excludes the potential market destroying-power of free/open-weight Chinese models as a risk factor.

That's literally the #1 risk factor. They ignore it.

This is a FRAUD document and it means we need to SHORT this overblown company.

Save your Hasbara. It is backfiring.

This is a typical Israeli harbara pattern. Oh, you anti-semite, I see you are ignoring this other non-Israeli genocide.

Save it.

your skillset sounds like perfect match for technical presales engineer ... you need to work at an enterprise software company, where they sell big tickets software of tens of thousands of dollar service, so you're part of the ensemble, but the sale is big enough and technical enough that they have a pre-sales engineering team. You are 50% customer, 50% medium intensity technical but you just use/config/troubleshoot without being the engineer responsible for building

Two big problems 1) NOBODY knows what IBM's definition of "sub 1nm" means 2) IBM bullshits so much more than anyone including Intel (remember the "teleportation" ads years ago) that nobody is going to waste time researching what they mean in reality

download LM Studio to play with, and it will let you search for models... try Qwen3.6-35B-A3B at 4,5 or 6 bits (6 bit XL is near perfect) and use pi coder or another harness to access it... you can also try Unsloth studio and try same model to start. LM Studio slighter easier to use, Unsloth probably better quality. Neither one is super great quality by the way (meaning: they crash or act weirdly too often to be full production solutions, but can work for local coding). ONCE YOU DOWNLOAD EITHER APP... it will let you search huggingface for the models. Just type qwen to start looking and ... start messing around. And you connect the pi coder harness using the http interface that LM Studio and Unsloth offer to the engine API, so make sure you figure out that url and turn it on... something like 127.0.0.1:1234/api would be a typical IP (localhost) and port (1234 is used by LM Studio)

this is really cool! i am going to try this in some of my own research. another cool thing is trying units different than 1 like adding imaginaries or other funky things, or different bases entirely. you can combine that concept with this for a lot of powerful math techniques.
