I suppose it's a good time to encourage people trying out pi[1] with any cheap model from the openrouter rankings page[1].

Two problems: I will not get my pleasure, and I will still not know how the code works.

Are you implying using their brains?

I keep thinking about at which point I should not force myself into the loop. As a developer I really like working on the code structure, making it clearer, thinking about good abstraction, breaking into modules, etc. I really take pleasure in it. At the same time I understand that at some point I am becoming the limiting factor.

If the point of the software is benefit people, should I still care about how the code looks.

Right now, I still think that the answer is yes, but in 3 years? in 10 years?

I can only applaud. Regardless of whether this device is possible, or economically viable, this is a brave move and a bold vision. Taking bigger risks is what what makes the advances possible.

Exactly. It was looking as though Apple understood this. But now they gave in and called it Siri AI.

Exactly this. You can't have a competitive industry while at the same time heavily redistributing wealth to the point where people don't have any incentives at all.

> A total of €13.5 million has been allocated to the project.

This is not even funny. If you want a competitive AI industry, you need to invest much more heavily in infrastructure first, building models second.

Never did. Having been using Github Copilot since its launch (as autocomplete, they have a Vim plugin) and claude code for agentic coding.

$60b is crazy.

Cursor is an extension for VS Code, a harness and a bunch of prompts.

They have their own model (Composer 2) which is based Kimi K2.5, but I don't think SpaceX would be interested in it.

If they need a harness for grok, they could fork PI.

What are they after for here? Customer base? Talent?

I grown up in the 1990s, so as a teen I had access to the wild west of the decentralized internet in all its scary glory. It was pretty cool.

But nowadays as a parent I see, instagram, tiktok are much more scarier for the damage they make psychologically and mentally to our kids. And with the AI slop it's only going to go downhill. So yes, it's a great decision, and other countries should follow the lead.

I was wondering how does Anthropic and likes keep competitive when Opus is ($5 / $25) 5x times more expensive compared to Kimi K2.6 ($0.7 / $3.4) or other Chinese models, while being only marginally better.

My theory is that US enterprise just can't send data to Chinese and that's understandable, but is that "the moat"?

It seems that Anthropic is winning the competition with OpenAI. But, supposedly, OpenAI is sitting on a similar model, it might be their chance to win back some users by releasing a less-nerfed model, and market it specifically from that point of view.

Is there any evidence Mythos is qualitatively better than the Opus 4.x?

I'm afraid that the usual mantra that "we just need more scale" that worked well for attracting investments, is not working anymore - bigger models provide marginal improvements while naturally get much more expensive to run.

Is this why both Anthropic and OpenAI are rushing for IPOs this year?

Exactly. I have children too you know. In fact we had a blast last time with my five year old shouting nonsense at Suno and having it make some cool songs out of it. Does it make me less human? It’s all about how you choose to use the technology

Right, but why attacking AI specifically? I just don’t buy the example, she could use a book with recepies instead of calling her friend, right? Maybe she just doesn’t want to call her friend this time, you know, and maybe it doesn’t make her less human.
