Quantinuum, a quantum computing startup, is losing millions. Investors want in anyway.

my friend just told me about this and i had to share it immediately cursor is giving students 12 months of pro completely free. no credit card. just verify your .edu email and that’s it you get full access to gpt, claude, gemini… all the models. for a whole year. for free. that’s $240 you just keep in your pocket while everyone else is paying $20 a month wondering why their bank account looks sad takes like 2 minutes. go to cursor.com/students, throw in your .edu, pass the verification, done and if you graduated already, you probably know someone still in college who has no idea this exists. do them a favour link in the comments. seriously just go do it right now submitted by /u/NewMuffin3926 [link] [留言]

ChatGPT introduces a new memory system to better remember preferences, keeping context fresh and relevant across conversations.

The app AT4K turns the messy Google TV interface into something closer to the Apple TV interface, making it cleaner, more customizable, and less frustrating to use.

Architectural change cases extend architecture decision record (ADR) thinking by evaluating how decisions may evolve over time. Change cases expose hidden assumptions and help teams estimate the reversibility and cost of change. By Pierre Pureur, Kurt Bittner

Initially, I developed this so I can easily switch between different Attention mechanisms for my Small Language Model (SLM) experiments and benchmarking. However, I also realized that these implementations can be applicable in Computer Vision, modernize Vision Encoders, RL, and others. I hope this helps researchers, students, or educators in general. I also included MiniMax M3's sparse attention. This can be integrated with Andrej Karpathy's autoresearch framework. For contributing: I encourage you to please open a PR. I would like to see and learn implementations of other attention mechanisms I haven't covered in this repo. Thank you!

Got the gguf quantized version running about two hours after release and I genuinely wasn't expecting this from a 12b model. The multimodal stuff actually works, fed it screenshots of my codebase and it parsed the architecture better than most 70b models I've tested. The 256k context window is real and it doesn't fall apart at the edges like llama models do past 32k. Loaded a full repo into context, it tracked references across the whole thing. Single 3090 with q4 quantization runs at about 15 tokens per second which is totally usable for dev work. What gets me is the size range. The 12b sits in this sweet spot where you get strong reasoning without needing multi gpu. Tried the e4b on my laptop with 16gb ram, slower but functional. Already swapped it into my local coding pipeline. The function calling support means I can wire it into my toolchain without the janky workarounds I had before. Native audio input on the 12b is something I haven't touched yet but the implications for voice driven workflows are kind of insane. submitted by /u/Sharkkkk2 [link] [留言]

The chatbot is tricking me!!! 💬📜⌛ When you text a chatbot, it doesn’t actually remember who you are or what you said two minutes ago. The exact millisecond it finishes typing a response, its brain completely wipes clean. To pull off the illusion of a continuous, flowing conversation, the web application secretly copy-pastes the entire past chat history, bundles it up, and blasts that whole massive block of text back into the processor every single time you hit send. Your "chat session" is an illusion maintained entirely by an ever-growing stateless prompt wrapper. You aren't interacting with a growing, adapting mind; you are repeatedly gas-lighting a brand-new entity into believing it has been talking to you for an hour. Wait, I am the one training it ??? 🚦🚸🚲 AI models are inherently blind to context; a computer doesn't instinctively know that a specific cluster of raw pixel values represents a real-world object. It requires billions of examples to be manually labeled by a human mind before the math can understand it. Every time you click on squares containing "traffic lights," "crosswalks," or "bicycles" to unlock a website, you are acting as an unpaid data annotator. You are manually labeling complex, messy real-world data points that feed directly into the computer vision systems of autonomous vehicles. The grand paradox of modern cyber security is that we force humans to act like mechanical data annotators to prove they are not computers, all so that computers can learn how to perfectly impersonate humans. The supercomputer is stupider than a toddler... 🍓👶🏻🖥️ We assume AI read letters and words the same way human eyes scan a page. It doesn't—it is entirely alphabet-blind. Before text hits the AI's brain, a parser chops strings of text into numerical blocks called "tokens." For example, the word "strawberry" isn't seen by the model as ten distinct letters; it is compressed into numerical IDs representing chunked pieces like "straw" and "berry". Because it never s

In my previous article, I argued that AI is just the next abstraction layer — the same pattern we’ve seen a dozen times in software history. Each layer demands a new skill. So what does the AI layer demand? I think the answer is hiding in plain sight. And some very powerful people just demonstrated it. Something Interesting Happened Recently Mark Zuckerberg started coding again after a 20-year break. According to multiple reports, he moved his desk to Meta’s AI lab, spends 5 to 10 hours a week writing code, and is “coding all day long” alongside the Meta Superintelligence Labs team. The man who built Facebook in a dorm room and then spent two decades managing tens of thousands of people — is shipping diffs again. Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator, returned to coding after 15 years using AI tools like Claude Code. He described himself as “addicted” to it, sleeping four hours a night because he couldn’t stop building things. Sergey Brin, Google’s co-founder who stepped back from day-to-day operations years ago, came out of retirement to code on Gemini. He’s reportedly assembling an elite “coding strike team” and is directly involved in hands-on development. And there’s a quote from The New Stack that captures this perfectly: executives are building with AI because they were “tired of explaining it to somebody who was supposed to build it for me.” Why is this happening? These people haven’t written production code in over a decade. What changed? The Career Ladder Was Always About Communication Let’s take a step back. The most common career paths for a developer are either the strict technical way — from developer to tech lead, then architect — or the management way — team lead, then head of engineering, CTO. In both ways you start from doing things yourself and gradually move to teaching — or better to say, guiding — others how to do it. Or strictly overseeing the whole process. You stop writing code and start writing explanations. You stop implementing and start reviewin

ok so the model's been up on HF now (apache 2.0, ~12B BF16, any-to-any multimodal). community has already shipped a pile of quants: - GGUF: unsloth, bartowski, ggml-org, lmstudio-community - MLX: mlx-community has 4bit / 8bit / bf16 / nvfp4 - official: google/gemma-4-12B-it (BF16) and the -assistant variant still trying to figure out which combo is actually worth downloading. the "12B runs on your laptop" hype is loud but i haven't seen many concrete numbers. if you've got it running, drop: - hardware (chip / RAM / GPU) - which quant + which repo (e.g. unsloth Q4_K_M, mlx-community 4bit, etc.) - runtime (llama.cpp / ollama / lm studio / mlx-lm / vllm / transformers …) - tokens/sec - context length you've actually used in practice - what you're using it for (chat / code / OCR / vision / agent …) - one thing it does well + one thing it falls apart on genuinely curious where the floor is — does it actually work on 16gb or only 32gb+? is mlx noticeably faster than gguf on apple silicon in 2026? anyone using the multimodal side seriously, or is it text-mostly in practice? submitted by /u/Individual_Soil4641 [link] [留言]

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my Google Summer of Code (GSoC) journey. In my last post, I shared the story of how I got into open source and was selected for GSoC with NumFOCUS to work on the Neural Network Builder API Refactor project for sbi (Simulation-Based Inference). Since the official announcement, the past three weeks have been dedicated to the Community Bonding Period . It is designed to help contributors get to know their mentors, understand the community culture, and familiarize themselves with the codebase and tools. Here is exactly what I did during these past three weeks to get ready for the main coding phase! The Kickoff Meeting We started the bonding period with a great kickoff call on Google Meet. It was a joint meeting that included the mentors for both of the selected sbi projects, the selected GSoC candidates. We were also joined by the mentee who successfully completed the GSoC project for sbi last year! Everyone introduced themselves, and it was incredibly inspiring to meet the team face-to-face (virtually!) and hear about everyone's backgrounds. Having a former GSoC student there was a huge bonus, as they shared some great insights into what to expect in the coming months. Setting Up the Machine A big part of getting started is making sure the development environment is properly configured. During our meetings, we discussed the machine setup in detail to ensure both candidates had everything required to run and test the sbi codebase locally without any hiccups. Embracing AI Coding Assistants One of the most interesting discussions we had was about using AI coding assistants. In the modern development world, tools like these are becoming standard, and our mentors actually encouraged us to use them! However, they emphasized using them carefully and strictly following project guidelines. To help us get the most out of these tools without compromising code quality, the mentors shared some excellent Claude code tutorials and provided us with resour

I’ve noticed that Gemini often feels very agreeable in some conversations. Even when I ask for an objective opinion, it sometimes seems to validate my assumptions first instead of directly challenging them. For example, when I ask whether my reasoning is flawed, it tends to respond with something like “That’s a valid concern” or “You’re making a good point” before giving criticism, which makes the criticism feel softened or less direct. I’m curious whether this is something that can be meaningfully improved with prompts, such as asking the model to be more critical, or whether sycophancy is mostly a model/personality alignment issue. And I wonder if there are differences between Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, etc. when it comes to disagreement or objective criticism. submitted by /u/StomachNo7859 [link] [留言]

I've been reading Boom by Byrne Hobart and Tobias Huber (Ben Thompson did a long interview with Hobart on Stratechery (if you want the audio version of the argument) and it reframed how I think about the current AI spending wave. The book splits bubbles into two types: Mean-reversion bubbles money piles into something that already exists, prices detach from reality, crash, nothing left behind. Housing 2008. Tulips. The crater kind. Inflection bubbles money piles into something that bets the world works differently going forward. Amazon wasn't a better bookstore. It was a categorically new thing. The investors looked insane by the standards of 1997. They were right about 2010. The dot-com crash is the cleanest example of an inflection bubble working as intended. Telecom companies borrowed insane amounts and laid fiber optic cable nobody needed. Then they went bankrupt. But the cable stayed. And because bankrupt companies built it, the internet was essentially free. The bubble funded the future and then got out of the way. So here's the actual question about AI: Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are on track to spend close to $700 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026 nearly double last year. That gap between what's being spent and what's being earned is real and large. But Hobart and Huber's deeper argument is that stagnation is more dangerous than a bubble. Progress has been quietly slowing since the 70s breakthroughs are rarer, more expensive, harder. Bubbles are sometimes the only force strong enough to override the collective risk aversion that stops necessary things from being built. The honest question isn't whether AI is a bubble. It probably is. The question is which type. Does AI produce something categorically new or is it a faster, more expensive version of software we already had? If it's the former, the infrastructure survives the crash and becomes the foundation for whatever comes next, the way fiber became the internet. If it's the latter, we get the

Be honest, how many of you have told your AI agent to remember that you were nice to it and a big supporter when the singularity comes? https://preview.redd.it/2jthsbcsc75h1.jpg?width=408&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93ba3b201947b965aa0e997b852ecef5846daf37 submitted by /u/KenSanDiego [link] [留言]

A lot of recent progress in ML appears to come from scaling existing architectures rather than introducing fundamentally new ones. At the same time, there’s increasing emphasis on dataset quality, curation, and synthetic data pipelines. In practice, I’m trying to understand how this tradeoff looks in real systems: How much effort is typically spent on data cleaning and filtering vs model design?? Whether dataset quality improvements still yield larger gains compared to architectural changes?? How synthetic data is affecting training stability and generalization in practice?? In many applied settings, it seems like data constraints become the limiting factor before architecture does, but I’m not sure if that’s broadly true across domains. submitted by /u/Electrical_Mine1912 [link] [留言]
