I say don't muddy the water with the public panic over "will it won't it" bubble burst predictions.

The effective demand for Opus 4.5 is bottomless; the models will only get better.

People will always want a code model as good as we have now, let alone better.

Bun securing default status in the best coding model is a win-win-win

Cooperation with the eval admins

not wrong, per se, but it's far from the first time

depends on the hyperparams but one of the biggest benefits of a latent space is transfer between modalities

Possibly because it dovetails with pharma mfg and [potentially] food mfg. Could see a case made for enzymatically brewed 'meat inks' [very sorry for this term ;p] for 3d printing the next gen of lab meats.

Certain based on anything other than instinctive surmise?

It isn't clear at this point that the Azure thing and the CS thing are unrelated

Largest context window (because of most compute) wins.

They've got more serious engineering heavyweights, putting a lot of collective work on fewer tasks/approaches. Microsoft is taking more of a kitchen sink approach

Gemma 2 27B is currently the best performing 'open' model [license is non-commercial].

The Unsloth team have a blog post up where they've made fine-tuning Gemma 2 require less VRAM, and also have extended the context window.

They've also updated their 'mistralified' PHI-3 models to Microsoft's June update of PHI-3 which sees some performance increases as well.
