That’s kind of what I’m expecting going forward too. Local models will get good enough in a year or two for most tasks, and then you just have a specialized chip like the GPU to run them.

Alibaba just announced a chip specifically for running local models. We’ll see what it ends up going for. https://wccftech.com/alibabas-tsmc-built-5nm-risc-v-chip-xuantie-c950-now-runs-qwen-3-8-27b-model-natively-unlocking-massive-vertical-integration-tailwinds/

Training happens once per model, but inference is an ongoing process. So, there’s going to be a huge amount of energy saving if we move to using local models.

Thank you for taking your time away from sniffing glue to share your invaluable insights.

Right, Wall Street Journal and other western media cited are doing propaganda for DPRK. That’s definitely an interesting take you’ll have to expand on.

a lost redditor appears, it is very confused

haha I keep forgetting how insane prices are now

How’s the output quality on the lowest quant?

I think it’ll depend on how much these chips cost. If it’s gonna be something like a Raspberry Pi that works as well as a 500 dollar GPU, that’s gonna be pretty amazing.

lmfao yeah

I’m not aware of the phenomenon outside the west, it’s kind of like anarchism in that way.

nice

Context matters, when it comes to objective facts, a bunch of people thinking something is true doesn’t make it so. However, when it comes to subjective experience, then the opinions of people actually living in the country do matter far more than those of the outsiders.

I find what the model was RL trained on is really important. It looks like Qwen 3.8 is mainly focused on agentic coding, so it does really well there. But once you throw it at tasks outside the training then things start to fall apart fast.

A much more effective way to use models is to have them drive a deterministic tool like a calendar instead. Also, Qwen 3.8 is complete overkill for a task like that, you’re just wasting energy for no reason here. A much smaller model trained on agentic tool use would both work more reliably and use way less power.

You can run it on smaller hardware too, people managed to get 3.6 to run with 16 gb ram with stuff like quants and MTP. But the fact that you can run a model that performs as well as a frontier model from half a year ago on any laptop is frankly mind blowing.

During the 1932 Holodomor Famine, the USSR sent aid to affected regions in an attempt to alleviate the famine. According to Mark Tauger in his article, The 1932 Harvest and the Famine of 1933:

While the leadership did not stop exports, they did try to alleviate the famine. A 25 February 1933 Central Committee decree allotted seed loans of 320,000 tons to Ukraine and 240,000 tons to the northern Caucasus. Seed loans were also made to the Lower Volga and may have been made to other regions as well. Kul’chyts’kyy cites Ukrainian party archives showing that total aid to Ukraine by April 1933 actually exceeded 560,000 tons, including more than 80,000 tons of food

Some bring up massive grain exports during the famine to show that the Soviet Union exported food while Ukraine starved. This is fallacious for a number of reasons, but most importantly of all the amount of aid that was sent to Ukraine alone actually exceeded the amount that was exported at the time.

Aid to Ukraine alone was 60 percent greater than the amount exported during the same period. Total aid to famine regions was more than double exports for the first half of 1933.

According to Tauger, the reason why more aid was not provided was because of the low harvest

It appears to have been another consequence of the low 1932 harvest that more aid was not provided: After the low 1931, 1934, and 1936 harvests procured grain was transferred back to peasants at the expense of exports.

Tauger is not a communist, and ultimately this specific article takes the view that the low harvest was caused by collectivization (he factors in the natural causes of the famine in later articles, based on how he completely neglects to mention weather in this article at all its clear that his position shifted over the years). However, its interesting to see that the Soviets really did try to alleviate the famine as best as they could.

Also, don’t know if you were aware, but famines were common in tsarist Russia and were one of the major factors driving the revolution. So, then one last famine happens before the new system is fully established, and all you trolls point at it as if it’s evidence that the system doesn’t work. Seems like it’s more relevant that there were no famines in USSR going forward and people ate more nutritious food than Americans.
