Why use this over Equinox's Module, plus jaxtyping? That seems like the cleaner (and more established) solution, but maybe there are pros/cons I'm not seeing.
This is a desperation move from the LLM providers here. Just think: if you were Sam Altman, and you actually had strong evidence that practical AGI was as imminent as claimed - would you be spending your time building AI-slop TikTok and a smut bot?
I love the concept of this and hope Slate survives, but $27.5k is too expensive for what they're offering. With the Kia Soul at $21.5k and with more features, and the Honda Civic at the same cost, the value proposition isn't there for many people.
Minimialism is great, so long as the price also reflects that.
