I'm now testing Nvidia Nemotron 3 Super (120B-A12B) model on my MD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 PC. It is a solid text-to-text model. Very strong in multi-lingual and has great world knowledge. It tolerates heavy quantization (NVFP4, or even Q3) pretty damn well. So there are alternatives to Qwen3.5 if you don't need visual input. Qwen also better in coding, plus more permissible license.

@AllMigh48938863 @MarioNawfal Already half of the new cars sold in China are new energy vehicles and every year this figure is going up. By 2030s, even less new ICE cars sold. Defense is very tiny portion of China's entire economy. China's defense spending is 1.7% of its GDP, less than NATO average.

@KuittinenPetri @MarioNawfal Do not fall for propaganda. Electric vehicles are not a good substitute for conventional fuel in defence where energy density matters. China has been amassing large amounts of oil from the black market and, so annual purchases might show slight declines.

If the Iranian regime capitulates, the U.S. will come out stronger than ever as it gains control of the world’s most important energy chokepoint If the Iranian regime survives militarily, the American empire could begin its decline as it gets dragged into another forever war
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

No matter what Trump does next, the Middle East will never look the same - Gulf countries are pissed - Iran is more hardline - Russia & China are salivating And if the regime survives, Trump loses any chance to control the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will come out much weaker, and China much stronger Trump should have never started this war, but at this stage may have no option but to finish the job.

There are multiple reasons why gold is going down. Many countries were hoarding, but now they desperately need LNG and oil, thus they will sell gold to get what they need. Plus I'm sure the markets are pricing in the yields for treasuries going up. Higher borrowing costs will wreck havoc to many indebted countries. Japan might one of the first dominos to fall, even though they have one of the largest strategic oil reserves on this country, but their manufacturing costs will probably go up so much that they can longer be competitive and weaker yen would of course push up the yields. Europe is not in a good position either, except for Norway (huge gas and oil producer) and Russia has a lot of gain.

@Grummz Faster response is of course nice, but if it speed comes at a noticeable cost to accuracy, this is a big NO for research tasks, fixing hard bugs, translating difficult texts (e.g. old poetry). In those tasks I would be happy with a slower, yet high quality response.

Every AI company should be optimizing for speed of inference. It’s the difference between at 10fps game and a 60fps game. The same game feels horrible at 10 and amazing at 60. It’s not just a quality be degrees situation, it’s transformative. The same model feels 100x smarter and can get more done with realtime inference.

@PAstynome Has there ever been a global empire which has ~750 military bases around the world, the largest air force & navy there has ever been, ~50 client (vassal) states loyal to the hegemon, yet much smaller country is basically pulling the strings for the foreign policy of that empire!

Iran probably cannot accept large payments in USD, as those could end up frozen or confiscated anytime soon. It interesting what currency Iran wants from India. India has a massive trade deficit with China, but trade surplus with USA. In other words India probably doesn't have much excess RMB, but they have lots of USD and gold.

@KuittinenPetri @Molson_Hart Europe is getting 10% off the golf while I agree for Asia is way more relient. Now, what happens to the dollar if Asia stops paying their oil and gas in USD like Iran is requesting? Well, I guess we'll see soon enough. Their is no magic trick out of this mess.

@KobeissiLetter Crisis and war means that there is an opportunity for some to make loads of money. US oil and LNG companies are likely to going to make an extra ~$190 billion/year. Weapon manufacturers are also getting filthy rich, +$200 extra "defense" budget coming. All funded by debt!

The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter·
This is absolutely insane: The world is quite literally facing what appears to be the largest energy crisis in history. US crude oil futures are now trading at a $20+/barrel DISCOUNT to Brent, also one of the largest on record. As the US increases production and taps into reserves, the EU is facing a full out energy crisis. European natural gas prices are up another +30% today and physical crude oil prices in Oman and elsewhere are trading at $150+/barrel. In other words, the gap between Oman and US prices now stands at ~70%, or ~$70+ per barrel. It has become so bad for Europe that the market is now pricing-in 2 interest rate HIKES in 2026, even as the US removes sanctions on Russian oil. US rate cuts in 2026 are almost entirely priced-out as a result with Core PPI inflation on PRE-WAR data rising to its highest since February 2023. The entire global economy just took a complete 180 degree turn in 3 weeks. The next few months are going to be historic.

@ivanfioravanti I think there is too many Chinese AI labs to survive as well: ZAI, Moonshot (Kimi), Minimax, DeepSeeek and the big corps: Alibaba (Qwen), ByteDance etc. I'm not sure, which one gets bought out first, perhaps Shanghai Jieyue Xingchen Intelligent Technology Co., known as StepFun.

I don't still see famine as even in the poor countries most of the adults are overweight. In fact the vast majority of overweight are now already in poor countries (I talk about absolute numbers, not relative numbers). We are still eating 2025 crop, so the full effects could be felt as late as Autumn 2027 assuming that this war would continue as far. Anyways price hikes are unavoidable now. Here is my short list which should be going up: - oil, LNG - fertilizers - active pharmaceutical components (API) and medicine - plastics - paints - rubber - sulfur-related things e.g. copper, Zing and nickel production - aluminum Suddenly the cost to make anything with electronics from computer to a full-sized EVs became more expensive. And driving a gasoline car or repairing also got more expensive.

@johnkonrad the strait is closed and we are all paying more not only for oil but also for raw materials. Some countries in South East Asia are starting to see shortages. Fertilizers soon leading to potential famine.....all for what?

There has been rumors of X getting thumbs down feature. Now imagine if down votes will reduce the poster's visibility. This deadlock people into echo chambers and people who post stuff, which many disagree will disappear into algorithmic void. Of course some big accounts could be white listed to avoid this faith. To make matters worse people with even multiple thousand followers might get less than 100 view to their posts and how many of them are actual human beings? I don't know.

I would already argue that a local model with good AGENTS.md is already better than most human coders. And you don't need a huge model e.g. FP8 quant of Qwen3.5-27B will fit about 32 GB VRAM. Most human programmers are incredibly bad when to comes to comprehensive error checking, fault tolerance and protecting your code base against most common vulnerabilities.

US consumers will be hurt for sure with higher prices at the pump, but at the same time US and LNG producers are going to see their profits skyrocket. EU, Japan and South Korea, on other hand depend heavily on fossil fuel imports. They will have higher prices and stagnation or even recession / depression, plus debts going to the moon.

@KuittinenPetri @Molson_Hart Oil is priced in a global market, so when a Middle East war threatens supply, shipping, or tanker insurance, the world price of crude rises, and U.S. refiners usually pay more too.

@teortaxesTex USD is also still significantly down compared to 1 year ago. Losses for those foreigner investors who bought short term US treasuries. USD should shoot up though as it is the largest producer of oil and LNG in the world and geographically more or less insulated from the war.

Pitkään jatkuvana tilannehan voi olla tavallaan parempi rauhalle, koska nyt EU:llakin on edes joku motivaatio saada Ukrainan sota loppumaan. Aikaisemminhan sota on haluttu saada loppumaan vain ja ainoastaan niin suotuisasti, että oman puolet kaikki päävaatimukset läpi ja vastapuolen päävaatimuksista yhtäkään ei hyväksytä. Nyt voisi olla tarpeeksi hirveän taloudellisen tuskan jälkeen ehkä jotain mahdollisuuksia kompromissiin. Tähän tuskin pelkästään kaasun hinnan tuplaantuminen riittää. Mutta todennäköisintä on edelleen se, jota olen sanonut jo 2023 asti eli pitkä ja tuhoisa sota, joka voi hyvinkin jatkua 2030-luvulle. Me olemme 3. maailmansodan joko alussa tai hyvin lähellä sitä, koska ennustin myös, että Iranin hyökkäyksen jälkeen siitä helposti leimahtaa laajempi alueellinen sota, joka voi sekin kestää vuosia.

@macastel3 Prices will go up in a LOT locations, not just China. A most voters hate high inflation, so I am expecting a lot of social unrest, especially in the poorer nations. My tip: if you need some durable goods, order them now, prices might be sky high soon + availability bad.

Putting out a wish to the universe. I need more compute, if I can get more I will make sure every machine from a small phone to a bootstrapped RTX 3090 node can run frontier intelligence fast with minimal intelligence loss. I have hit page 2 of huggingface, released 3 model family compressions and got GLM-4.7 on a MacBook huggingface.co/0xsero My beast just isn’t enough and I already spent 2k usd on renting GPUs on top of credits provided by Prime intellect and Hotaisle. ——— If you believe in what I do help me get this to Nvidia, maybe they will bless me with the pewter to keep making local AI more accessible 🙏

Minä osasin myös kertolaskutaulun 10 asti ennen koulua, mutta koodausta en osannut. Silloin 1970-luvulla tietokoneet olivat vielä suhteellisen harvinaisia ja kalliita. Opettelin n. 11 v iässä ohjelmoimaan kirjastosta lainattujen kirjojen ja lehtien avulla. Kirjoitin ohjelmat kynällä ruutuvihkoon, vaikken omistanut tietokonetta. Sitten sain viikkorahoista säätettyä itselleni ensimmäisen tietokoneen Memotech MTX 512, peräti 64 kilotavun RAM-muistilla ja 8-bittisellä 4 MHz:n Z80A-suorittimella. Hieno alumiinirunko ja kunnon kolisevat konekirjoitusnäppäimet. Näyttöpäättenä luonnollisesti perheen televisio ja tallennusvälineenä C-kasetti.
