@comingconflict @HealthRanger So, subsidizing the corporation with taxpayer money and NOT pass on the benefits to customers... is what you are suggesting...

@cdnewl @HealthRanger That’s not subsidizing customer costs

I just had DeepSeek V4 find and fix 8 memory leaks that were causing crashes in code written by Claude Opus 4.7. DeepSeek found them all and fixed them in minutes, at a total cost of maybe three pennies. DeepSeek is amazingly good at coding and bug fixing. And it costs almost

@comingconflict @HealthRanger Bruh, we have Stargate project, 1 Trillion USD, remember? That's like what, last year?

@HealthRanger If the US subsidizes domestic AI it would be cheap also. That’s the only reason deepSeek is so cheap

Underrated analysis

@arankomatsuzaki Thanks for the quality research, take the follow

Follow-up on non-English token-inefficiency with more model-language pairs: - Chinese is cheaper than English on major Chinese models - Gemini and Qwen provide least non-English tax - Anthropic has the highest tax by far; Kimi is next - Hindi is the worst-covered language here,

Bruh, you can't make this up... 🙃

@yacineMTB Lmao, I'm digging it, please do

I should start publishing a yacine-bench and it is actually just numbers I make up based on the vibes. And I feel like this will be a lot more accurate than any of the real actual "muh frontier bench" benchmarks

@teortaxesTex Normally I'd still prefer a coding/token plan. However, if the token price is low enough, I guess it makes sense just use it as is. I guess there is one area pay-as-you-go is better: you get to use the API anywhere (your own app etc.) whereas subs usually limit usecase by ToS.

I've been saying that DeepSeek should do a subscription to grab some cash but no, I guess their approach is better. "We sell API tokens. Very cheap tokens, very many. If we want to do PR, we sell them cheaper. That's our way. No plans, no credits. Deal with it"

@Teknium Bruh, Hermes is open, powerful, and easy to use, I wonder why haha

Happy to announce that Hermes Agent's repo just surpassed Anthropic's Claude Code repo

@Teknium This gold, thanks for sharing, will definitely come in handy some day

Hermes Agent tip of the day: You can backup and transfer your agent cleanly and simply. Want to move it to a new VPS that is bigger? Take it to your new Mac Mini? `hermes backup` - > creates a zip install hermes on a new machine fresh transfer the zip to that machine then run `hermes import` done :) Full docs: #hermes-backup" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference…

@teortaxesTex This is perfect for my use case for real, as I used Hermes and OpenCode a lot, both of which benefits from cache hit massively

Cache hit rates + price slashes are so important Agents don't just constantly reread their own outputs. The context grows *way faster* than that. This is 6.2M cache hits, $0,0224, literally 2 cents. Yesterday, it'd be $0,22. >50% of the total bill.

@teortaxesTex @Teknium Im currently using Hermes and OpenCode concurrently. I think they actually complement each other. "Right tool for right task" kind of thing

tried and got unironically impressed by Hermes Agent. They were turning into something of a merchandise/media company, but I guess the same instincts contribute to tasteful polished software. I like it more than pi now (nevermind the claw family). Congrats @Teknium et al

@OpenRouter Wow, I'm impressed

@llmdevguy @MiniMax_AI For real, I'm patiently wait for this one

GLM 5 -> 5.1 - Great improvement Kimi K2.5 -> K2.6 - Great improvement DeepSeek V3 -> V4 - Great improvement Qwen 3.5 -> 3.6 - Great improvement I am looking at you @MiniMax_AI. When 3.0? 😀

@NousResearch @arlanr Lmao, i prefer Hermes too NGL

@arlanr We like Hermes Agent

what do people think about personal ai agents like openclaw? did anyone churn in the past few weeks or months after using them? also, do people pay for any cloud versions here?

@teortaxesTex Any Coding Plan? Please let there be a coding plan...

FINALLLY FINALLY it is here. V4-flash: all the way back to V2 prices, only now with 1M V4-pro: roughly Kimi/GLM/MiMo competitor Chat prefix completion and FIM back – thank you! Missed this forever but what can they do?

@teortaxesTex Percolation effect, let's wait for that "emergence" .

you guessed it (If you guessed "it has never went anywhere": that too) China has an absurd, ever growing amount of research in materials and nanotechnology, on its face that should have amounted to some sci-fi products by now, and yet

@ParikPatelCFA Broken Window Fallacy.

Iran just attacked three ships in the Strait of Hormuz This is bullish for the stock market because these ships need to be repaired, causing steel and glass demand to go up resulting in GDP growth

@krishnugget @AlbionHero @Pirat_Nation Valid concern. Maybe Valve can do something like: only 3 purchase per address at low price. Large quantity order hikes up purchasing price to deter business purchases, and still allow consumers to purchase at base price.

@cdnewl @AlbionHero @Pirat_Nation their logic was that this is a much more traditional pc, there is a risk that businesses would just buy them if they were cheaper than the alternatives, valve loses money, and these businesses do not at all buy games

@AlbionHero @Pirat_Nation IMO, Valve's logic SHOULD BE more in-line with console maker's logic on this specific case: eat some profit on the machine itself and make back profits through Steam's game sells. If more people owns Steam Machine they are more likely to buy future games in Steam. But prob not..

@Pirat_Nation I still find it funny people thought a mini PC with that level of power was going to be like 500-600 dollars.
