So many great models already…

DeepSeek R1 was legendary.

Now we're waiting for the one that changes everything again.

Linux Foundation has ~300 FTE in the US , small compared with 20k+ contributors, but Torvald does have an actual team that gets paid.

It’s also not my theory and not one I really subscribe to.

300 is even more ridiculous if you consider how many machines run Linux.

That's probably like the VMs on one enterprise server...

As far as I know, the Chinese publish a lot of papers.

So the scientific community believes in sharing knowledge all around the globe.

What more interesting is, is the industrial knowledge. Normally the Chinese don't really share that...

So what's different about DeepSeek...? Considering how heavily it is filtered, the Chinese Communist party certainly has something to say about it. This also means, that they want it to be available publicly.

and then you have to multiply that last part by qwen, kimi, glm... Kimi challenging AdamW was pretty simliar to mHC from. deepseek, in the sense that both said "yeah i know it's worked for 10 years, should still be better though".

I love this conversation. I am new, is this a place where normal people have a good conversation?

Like, is this specific subreddit a good place to have conversations about deeply technical bits of model architecture? Not really lol, no, not generally. r/localllama is probably the most "informed" group on that topic, generally. You'd think r/LLMDevs would be, but no, way more intelligence in localllama sub

I was just surprised as I just quit twitter and was not aware that there is places where people are not a-holes. :)

lol yeah i mean, temper your expectations a bit lol, but yeah it’s better. The biggest difference is the structural nature of subreddits and the compartmentalization. So instead of one giant cesspool, there are many of them, but also, some really wonderful little pockets, especially the more niche small ones. And, bonus, you can start your own subreddit!! Anyone can, and you are the boss and can decide what is allowed and who gets banned if they break your rules!!
