Qwen bros taking too long with 3.8 35b-a3b so people are distilling the larger 3.8 onto 3.6 🤯

SOTA defense against the lethal trifecta? we need the weights @typesafeai for local tool call review (autoreview) you have the chance to dramatically increase the security of these systems 💪

pi-workflows is now stable-ish again I seem to have resolved most of the issues, if you want to give it a try in v0.17.3 also, I have changed autoimplement to follow a graph pattern which I call "control loop" I believe the pattern is crucial for a lot of workflows, so I will make an explainer on it when I have the time I have generated some documentation on it here if you are interested: github.com/osolmaz/pi-workflows/blob/main/docs/…

I am posting a lot of positive things for DeepSeek V4.1 Flash these days But that does not mean it does not have issues It suffers a terminal case of Claudish/RL-ese/whatever you call it Its default output is UNREADABLE. It makes me want to strangle it Who is working on legibility benchmarks, public ones? We should just give the labs something they can plug-and-play to their post-training. There must be someone working on this already? Otherwise, the armchair linguist yours truly will have to do it 😭

Minor correction, 10 TB comes with a PRO account, free accounts might not be that much. Realized that point after I recorded the vid It is best-effort, and might fluctuate based on capacity and how much people abuse it Also, let me know how you like my new microphone 😄

This. Also, another pro tip. Launch your public demos on *static Hugging Face spaces* It is free like GitHub pages, but you can host static assets that take gigabytes Your agent can set it up easily with HF CLI Ideal for quick prototyping and deploying something that does not need server compute (like an in-browser model for example) Also, you get 10 TERABYTES of public storage in a PRO account which is like 9 USD, what else do you need? 😄 Details in the video 👇

It seems OpenAI is about to drop GPT 6 Sol and move the goalpost this week, but still...

A crazy rest of September/October is ahead of us If DeepSeek V4.1 Flash sits between Terra and Sol… Then where will V4.1 Pro sit? If DeepSeek executes with the same rate and releases a 3-6x bigger Pro model using the same architecture, what are we going to get? Most likely, a model that sits between Sol and Astra/Fable and potentially exceeds them With the same KV cache characteristics, making it potentially an order of magniture cheaper than those models (Note that Kimi K3 was already close to that in terms of performance, but not in terms of price) Now, when would be the ideal time to drop such a model? Alongside updated V4.1 Flash weights that potentially surpass Sol/Opus? Just before the Anthropic IPO of course! Get your popcorn, because things are about to get heated This might be the month where the narrative on open vs closed source AI flips, not only for local models but for datacenters as well

I will be shooting a lot more videos now btw that I have Screen Studio Any suggestions for a good microphone/camera?

Launching ourmodels.cc Front Page 🎉🎉🎉 If you are addicted to local/open-weight models like me, here is a new page to check daily, alongside Twitter and Hacker News Whenever someone here on Twitter posts about a model and it receives enough engagement, I scrape it and add to my knowledge graph There is so many things happening in open models specifically, that one needs an aggregator to keep track of everything! Who are some new people who got in open models that belong here? I have not updated my watchlist in a while :)
