fun side effect of LLMs is that you can now parallelize many cognitive styles cheaply. it would take me months to learn a foreign reasoning style and unlearn my ingrained intuitions. way easier to prompt a model to "think" a certain way my own pocket roundtable of nutjobs
QC@QiaochuYuan

spooky implication that there is potentially some whole universe of "shadow math" that you have to make inhuman mental movements to access so no human have done so yet, that is going to be increasingly revealed by frontier models

looks like we're heading towards private, local, fine-tunable models on consumer hardware your iphone will learn to talk like you at levels of detail you can't imagine

Tether AI breakthrough Tether AI team just released new version of QVAC Fabric to include the World’s First Cross-Platform BitNet LoRA Framework to Enable Billion-Parameter AI Training and Inference on Consumer GPUs and Smartphones. Background Microsoft's BitNet uses one bit architecture to dramatically compress models. Traditional LLMs operate on full-precision computation, where weights are stored as complex, high-resolution numbers. The innovation of BitNet is that it shrinks these weights into a tiny ternary range of only -1, 0, and 1. significantly reducing memory usage and computation. LoRA, is a parameter-efficient fine-tuning technique that reduces the number of trainable parameters by up to ninety-nine percent. Together they slash memory and compute requirements. Yet BitNet has mostly been limited to CPU or CUDA NVIDIA backends, and lacked the support of LoRA fine-tuning. Enters QVAC Fabric: the unlock Today, with QVAC Fabric LLM, is the first time BitNet LoRA fine-tuning and inference work cross-platform across GPU vendors and operating systems using Vulkan and Metal backends. That means support for AMD, Intel, Apple Metal and also Mobile GPUs. And for the first time ever, BitNet inference runs efficiently on smartphones using mobile GPUs. On flagship devices, GPU inference is 2 to 11 times faster than CPU while using up to 90% less memory than the full precision models. The biggest unlock: QVAC Fabric LLM support for BitNet LoRA fine-tuning on heterogeneous GPUs. Our team was able to demonstrate this by fine tuning models up to 3.8 billion parameters on all flagships phones such as Pixel 9, S25 and iPhone 16 and up to 13 billion parameter models on the iPhone 16. Github repositories: github.com/tetherto/qvac-… : general QVAC Fabric codebase github.com/tetherto/qvac-… : specific QVAC Fabric's BitNet knowledge base, architecture docs and pre-built binaries What does it mean? What used to require dedicated GPUs now runs on consumer hardware. This breakthrough is the first real-world signal of a local private AI that can truly serve the people. And this is just the beginning. In the next months and years Tether will relentlessly continue to invest significant amounts of resources and capital to continue to research and develop open-source intelligence that can scale and evolve on local devices, providing maximum utility and privacy to its users. The era of Stable Intelligence has just begun. Free as in freedom.

this means that LLMs like Claude will soon contain tools like Excel within them. no more tool calling, the retry loops become invisible. think of it like learning to drive vs needing to call an Uber. just go wherever you want.
Christos Tzamos@ChristosTzamos

1/4 LLMs solve research grade math problems but struggle with basic calculations. We bridge this gap by turning them to computers. We built a computer INSIDE a transformer that can run programs for millions of steps in seconds solving even the hardest Sudokus with 100% accuracy

claude/codex are pushing my brain in ways it's never been pushed. they have infinitely larger working memory & virtually zero switching cost i have to load so much context into my head to make a decision. feels like my brain is pushing my eyeballs out we are the bottleneck

new things are coming out faster than i can adapt them into my workflows. half of them are outdated in a month feels like "new tools specialist" should become a real job. need someone whose full-time job is keeping up for a niche + advising you on what'll fit you

I'm selling Flipper Studio. I spent months on this only to realize that I loathe marketing, I just want to build things. It makes marketplace ready product images from quick photos. Fully built out, so if you're a marketer, this is ready to go. HMU, selling it cheap.

@TVachaW beautifully put. i've had this suspicion over the last year that the more i spend time online, the "better" i get at being in my head and worse at being in my body.

One of the worst consequences of the rise of social media and porn addiction is the somatic amnesia it causes. People are rapidly starting to largely forget they even have bodies. It used to be that for our minds to socialize with other minds, our bodies also had to socialize with other bodies. We’d be in shared physical space. You’d hear the vibration of a person’s voice and laughter. We’d see their facial expressions and feel their physical presence. All of that in turn connected us to and reflected back our own sense of being an embodied being. Social media ruptured this by making it possible for minds to socialize with each other without involving bodies. Porn makes this even worse as it means many people’s formative experiences of sex - the archetypal embodied experience - are entirely disembodied. Their mind interacts with an image of a body. Orgasms become associated with movements of the mind instead of the touching of bodies. This carries over into real life sex where people are increasingly in their head during sex as they’ve trained themselves to experience sexuality as a mental movement. Taken together, social media and porn cause people to increasingly conceive themselves as minds rather than embodied beings. Minds socializing with minds. Minds having sex through mental movements. All of the pleasure and joy of the body becomes a foreign land even in its native territory of socialisation and sex. It’s a particularly brutal rupture as the body should serve as the minds ultimate playground and escape from itself. So many impenetrable mental loops and dead ends are solved by making contact with the body. The body is the dimension in which the mind can unknot itself. In fact, when experienced fully, the body and the mind are not easily separable. What we call “the mind” is just a small suburb of the body’s distributed intelligence. To unplug it from the body is like uprooting a plant from its soil. So much of our society’s journey back to society consists simply in making a journey back to living in our bodies.

Someone desperately needs to de-woo-ify chakras so more people can benefit from the model. Learning how to relate to the sub-minds distributed in our body has so many benefits. The idea that the mind is largely located in the brain blocks a lot of effective action. It means we always look to our brain for solutions and ignore the intelligences and energies available to us in other parts of the body. I find that if my brain doesn’t have a solution to a problem, my gut often will. Or if my brain tells me I have no energy, Ill actually still be able to access energy by tapping into my sexual energies. Or if I’m failing to empathise with someone, I’ll get more value in bringing awareness down to my heart than by doing more thinking. But the real breakthrough comes in learning to relate to these different centres of intelligences not just as abstract energies but as something more like personalities that we can build a relationship with. We can build a personal relationship with our heart intelligence, our gut intelligence, our sexual intelligence and various other intelligences in our body. We can gain insight into the fact that they continue living a fairly well-defined life of their own, with their own subjectivity even when we aren’t in conscious communication with them. We can actually befriend them and win their trust, which allows us to access more of their wisdom. We can come to experience ourselves more like a community of distributed bodily intelligences rather than just one blob of intelligence in the head connected to a mindless body. Apparently, there are promising lines of enquiry in finding potential physical correlates for these bodily intelligence centres. Different combinations of endocrine glands, nerve plexuses and other regions with dense intoreceptive representations in the brain. The latter aspect may explain how the illusion of intelligence being entirely located in the brain occurs. All these other intelligences are *represented* in the brain. So it’s easy to miss that much of the pre-cognitive information processing can still be happening distributed around the body. I personally think that some aspects beyond the scope of currently known physiology may be part of the ultimate explanation for our distributed bodily intelligence. And some of those things may even be legitimately “woo.” But for now, it would be great to find more spiritually neutral ways of helping people connect to the embodied sub-agents or their somatic mind. I believe it would help people live more whole, intelligent and empowered lives.
