chatgpt atlas launch looked familiar

@TheArnabSaha stolen tweet, do better bro. it’s not that hard to come up with original content trust me i’m a simpleton if i can do it you can too

Wtfff is that name 😭

@karmicoder 100% real, a guy on the internet would never lie to you

@KabirGoel Is it a meme or fr?

didn’t expect Sarvam to drop a response to Le Chaton Fat so soon the sovereign AI wars have begun

@VinayakGavariya no this is legit

@KabirGoel some media articles will pick this up if it blows, for them: kabir is just having fun here

When @elipughresearch and the team dropped Ink-2, I had to see if this SOTA Speech-to-Text model lived up to the hype. So, I built a dictation app to find out. To my delight, it’s incredibly fast & accurate. You can just "ink it." InkIt is now free and open-source. Try it, fork it, and make it yours! 👇

The case for not using coding agents is the same as the case for learning COBOL, the ability to simply use your brain is going to be a rare skill down the line

getting weird responses from le chaton fat, I think they’re downgrading to le petit chat behind the scenes

@vboykis @code_star you can't run le chaton fat, if you do he won’t be fat anymore

@code_star I’m already running it so you tell me

Can someone tell me if Le Chaton fat is real or an amazingly elaborate joke?

@cartesia mfw when i use the best model for STT and TTS and also touch a van de graaff generator

Two new models just dropped 👀 Sonic-3.5 and Ink-2 are the #1 streaming models for text to speech and speech to text

@chongz nothing gets past you does it

The Fable of Cartesia has only just begun. With Sonic-3.5 and Ink-2, Cartesia has played its Trump card. I Dario to find a competitor with a better model. Iran around in circles trying to do the same. Sonic’s support for 40+ languages means no limits on where you can export & controls are a key feature of Ink, which supports turn detection and eager endpointing natively. We get closer to anthropomorphic machines every day. Get started today at cartesia.ai/launch.

@krandiash can't wait to fly on Air Cartesia 😍

We released Sonic-3.5 and Ink-2, the #1 streaming models for text to speech and speech to text you can use in your voice agents today. New architectures enable new frontiers for speed and quality. We're now the only provider to have #1 models for both speaking and listening.

Some quick takes: (1) Wow things are getting real. (2) The government's order focusing on prohibiting transfer to foreign nationals (even e.g. those living in the US, our close allies who help evaluate model safety in the UK, individuals who work at frontier labs like Anthropic) seems remarkably destructive, though is partially a result of the government using older legal authorities that were not designed for this kind of technology. (3) If you believe (as I do) that AI has profound ramifications for national security, then assuming the government will sit back and do nothing and tolerate explanations like "well jailbreaking is a hard technical problem" for cyber capabilities that used to be the crown jewels of the NSA, is not tenable. If this is how the government reacts to the current level of system capabilities in 2026, how do you expect them to react to whatever is possible in 2028? However, it is extremely important that the authorities that the government uses are legible, transparent, have opportunities for appeal, and are narrowly targeted. Those legal authorities do not currently exist, and in their absence, the government will reach for metaphorical sledgehammers instead of scalpels. (4) For that reason, it's extremely important that we create regulatory structures that are transparent and give recourse in the event that the government is overstepping or acting in an arbitrary manner. The alternative to passing such laws is not no regulation, it is regulation left primarily to national security authorities that are increasingly and evidently not fit for purpose.

i need to stop reading hacker news because i just get ragebaited by every commenter being an absolute simpleton

lgtm (let's go to market)

FYI: if you run any kind of freemium product you should ban signups from hotmail.com. They're virtually all bots. (No serious person uses hotmail anyway.)

@linear please add commit signing to the new Linear coding agent it will change my life thank you

2 truths and a lie 1. san francisco is the most prosperous city in the world 2. ai is the most prosperous industry in the world 3. all this money gets used to buy a/c that keeps us cool when it's hot outside

@KabirGoel I'm swamped over here, would be most appreciated, thanks!

hacker news commenters are about to have a meltdown over this
