~60% Fable cost cut by transparently turning the code into an image and having the model OCR it. WILD idea. also hilarious. github.com/teamchong/pxpi…

@MiTypeScript Lol that makes no sense and just means images are mispriced and will soon increase unfortunately

@EthosVentures read the DeepSeek paper. it's more than a pricing hack, as bizarre as that may be

@MiTypeScript Which paper? Either the quality of the context from the ocr is lower, or the context is the same quality and therefore images are mispriced, no?

@EthosVentures seangoedecke.com/text-tokens-as… more here, including a link to the white paper

@MiTypeScript @EthosVentures Wild

@MiTypeScript @EthosVentures “Zooming out a bit, it’s plausible to me that processing text as images is closer to how the human brain works. To state the obvious, humans don’t consume text as textual content; we consume it as image content (or sometimes as audio).”

@MiTypeScript @EthosVentures that's stupid paper. there's always tradeoff cheap Vs fidelity

@MiTypeScript @EthosVentures Don’t need to read that paper to know it makes no sense and is simply misprinting or lost context/low quality outputs for images.

@MiTypeScript @EthosVentures So if it’s true, we might be adding a hook to grep commands to return image instead of text? 😆

@MiTypeScript @EthosVentures Brilliant if true!

@MiTypeScript @EthosVentures This is really what matters. People are too focused on the pricing discussion.
