I suppose it's like gradient descent, often times you get stuck in local minima and there is no inertial force to overcome the next peak.

Curious for what an MTP only result would look like, both in terms of output quality & tk/s ?!

Looking at this gave me a renewed (even if brief) sense of appreciation for our society.

Even with all of its problems, for this moment in time our society is operating effectively enough that humans can engineer interesting, beautiful, culturally rich landscapes (cities) in quite a significant size scale.

Cheers to us, in 2026.

Some irony in so many posts about AI becoming more capable at programming, at the same time, top post on hackernews is a game about where you code by reading a magazine like it's 1997.

> not so interesting to compare to

Absolutely disagree here, something that is considered good practice is very interesting to compare to!

Oh while coding i sure think far more "tokens" than i output to the editor, at least 4->1.

Now, if those should be counted in the process or only the output is a harder question.

Interesting point, i didn't consider the thought process as tokens.

For coding tasks 27B is reported to be much more effective, altho you can probably only run 4b or 5b quants @ this memory.

Recommend https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/ as a great source for this type of discussion.

Curious about the other way around, how many tokens per second a productive developer codes in a day?

Curious to see if to what intensity the Moon will "ring like a bell" at this one.

I love that the answer here is basically.. - you don't -

But maybe mitigate at unreasonable personal costs.

How about services simply stop taking public information as proof of identity?

That may be true for OpenAI, less so for Antropic - which has much better margins. Both of these companies CEOs have come in public saying the same.

No doubt as of currently Google has a better business. But the same argument could have been said about Instagram or Whatsapp before Facebook (now Meta) acquired them.

The bigger the [dense] models the more inference tends to take, it seems pretty linear.

In that sense, how long you'd need to wait to get say ~20tk/s .. maybe never.

(save a significant firmware update / translation layer)

I know where my answer lies in that; but i don't claim to be an objective truth.

For example OpenAI has been caught sharing data with the gov. agencies.

While they do make this argument, realistically anyone sending their prompt/data to an external server should assume there will be some level of retention.

And more so in particular, anyone using Darkbloom with commercial intents should only really send non-sensitive data (no tokens, customer data, ...) I'd say only classification tasks, imagine generation, etc.

My motivation was quite different, and i'd like to encourage more people to consider the same.

Often times narcissistic power grabbing (often technically incompetent) engineers become managers, like it was the case a previous team I've worked at and it was quite penalizing to the whole team.

I've realized that either i can be the one managing and try to do good, or be at the mercy of another manager; chose the first.

The readme seems very unclear about what it does. Anyone has a practical example of it?

This post says remote, but then Greenhouse for the manager says it requires to be in NYC.

Would a Canadian candidate be considered?

I was previously manager at several monetization teams at Asana.
