If they lose 6B but manage to keep their customers whole, I don't think it's that bad of a message. Too big to fail territory.

You have an interesting definition of "efficient and performant".

Is anthropic trying to overthrow any governments this month like Meta is?

Even 3.12 will be EOL half a year before RHEL 8's.

And "support" doesn't mean you get the same package selection as the original:

  $ yum search 'python3' 2>&1 | grep '^python3-' | wc -l
  1551
  $ yum search 'python3' 2>&1 | egrep '^python3(8|9|\.)' | wc -l
  279

Enterprise distros support their python for 10 years anyway. The lack of Python LTS releases results in most versions having longer lifetimes in practice than intended:

  - 3.14: Ubuntu 26.04
  - 3.12: RHEL 10, Ubuntu 24.04
  - 3.10: Ubuntu 22.04
  - 3.9: RHEL 9
  - 3.8: Ubuntu 20.04
  - 3.6: RHEL 8 (EOL in 2029)

I had to do this once, after a blackout during a BIOS flash bricked my motherboard. Fun stuff. I don't think the working motherboard donor knew what he was signing up for.

No way to avoid the memory cartel, even if CXMT catches up.

Each minute that a GPU isn't running is money evaporating

Wow, if only the Chinese knew that! So easy!

Matrix multiplication is one of the few operations that isn't regularly limited by memory bandwidth. BLAS implementations come with several heavily optimized, architecture-specific versions of sgemm.

Isn't the delta fed to an arithmetic coder?

Not as many as the ones that the US snatched in operation paperclip
