@TheEcomNomad My friend I said 'American top tier.' Meta's models are not top tier, and Mistral is French.

the fragmentation is the point. when no single player owns the stack, innovation moves faster because everyone's racing to solve different pieces. meta pushes scale, mistral optimizes efficiency, smaller labs experiment with novel architectures. that diversity creates more paths to breakthroughs than any monopoly could.

@saarth_ I'm curious to see if you can actually do a background check on me that's accurate based on my linkedin profile, can you enable that for me? Happy to pay for a one shot use

@hightechdavid We are still making changes around the platform, a lot of our customers use us for high volume less mission critical use cases, so when we switched the default to medium or high, they started complaining, but we are fixing this soon!

@hightechdavid Our 10-cent low-tier enrichment is not built for this kind of work. Try using the high endpoint.

@saarth_ No, I put in my own key. That's probably why. I don't really read instructions. I'll try that link.

@starmexxx @grok Could this actually work? More importantly, could it work if I was self-hosting a SaaS application? If I'm building some kind of SaaS application that has all calls in it, can I use this so I don't have to pay super expensive Anthropic API fees?

JENSEN HUANG SOLD A $249 AI COMPUTER ON STAGE THAT KILLS YOUR $200/MONTH OPENAI BILL. THE VIDEO HAS 217,000 LIKES the box is called the jetson orin nano super. 70 trillion ai operations per second, 25 watts, smaller than a wallet. it runs llama 3, mistral, gemma and deepseek locally with no api fees and no data leaving your house a developer running automations and coding assistants pays $200 a month to openai. the same workload on this box costs $2 a month in electricity and breaks even on the hardware in 10 weeks you install ollama with one command. change one line in your code. point it at localhost instead of openai. everything else works identically 7 billion parameter models handle 80% of what people use chatgpt for. summarization, drafting, coding, document q&a, automation pipelines. the hard 20% you keep claude or gpt for. total monthly cost drops from $200 to $22 cloud subscriptions keep getting more expensive and rate limits keep getting tighter. the people who set this up in 2025 are going to look very smart in 2027 bookmark this and read the article below

@jacobrodri_ Someone needs to make a real competition to Apple products. Not Android, obviously, something new. Ideally voice dominant with less screen interface requirements for use.

@Heavenly_Race_ This is why an IQ of 125 is ideal for corporate success. You are right in the middle of the most technical-minded people in the company and the worker bees. You can communicate with everyone who needs to be communicated with.

Jøhnathan@Heavenly_Race_·
Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down. It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems. A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means: Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad." Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language. Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed. Both walk away frustrated. Both have wasted each others time.

@SCLawyer708 @realDonaldTrump politics is about preference not absolutes. I think we should always compare our politicians against their competitors

@greentoepalacio This is good for civilization. I was kind of nervous about these freak games they were throwing, but in the end they just proved that for some things nature is better.
