So how is this different from Astra, if it's the same weights and zero other training has been done?

Did they essentially package a system prompt?


Think this is so its easier to specify the specific product. They also say fewer refusals, so probably a tuned safety filter in front of it as well.

Math suddenly becomes biology


I've seen this claim repeated a bunch of times, it spreads as a meme, but the analogy doesn't work that well. This is not a special feature of biology! Chemical engineering involves lots of trial and error, physics is all about neglecting complicated aspects of a situation and hoping the result is still useful, even fundamental physics has a bunch of cancelations that work with no very good justification (see troubles around renormalization) and then fail when you try to do quantum gravity. Even math has things we know are true but have no good conception of why -- see John Conway on the Monster Group ("there's never been any kind of explanation for why it's there"): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xOCe5HUObD4

The whole world has always been like this. It's just showing up with force here.


Hmm if you just compare raw token prices on Openrouter right now, Mimo 2.6 Pro is roughly 4x the price.

Does deepseek v4.1 flash 1017 really take that much longer per task?


For some reason the providers for MiMo 2.6 Pro are all very slow. I'd much rather use something quick. DeepSeek was great for that. I haven't tried MiMo ultraspeed.


The title is 'Paper trades' so it's very likely fictional money.


Paper trades are more lenient afaik? You won't run into actual transaction problems particularly when market fluctuates by the milliseconds.


Same here. And I doubt 3B EUR will do anything (remember the >$100B investment round that OpenAI got?)

In the EU it seems we are very much at risk of being cut off from frontier AI if the US government should decide to do so.


OpenAI also indirectly depends on ASML, but sadly Europe seems too cowardly to leverage this dependency at the moment.


If EU were to "leverage" ASML, and that would require rather unlikely approval of Netherlands, it wouldn't end very well.

Already shipped machines can not be taken back, nor can they be stopped. Sure, you can cut the support, and buildup of new fabs will be stalled. But the other side, Chinese or USA, has many more levers to pull. Raw materials, energy (LNG), was majority of consumer goods, solar panels, batteries, semiconductors. EU doesn't mine or make most of them, and isn't nowhere close to even starting, instead, industrial base is already shrinking.

Even worse, ASML may dominate EUV, but other suppliers do very well in DUV. The moment ASML becomes unreliable, all of them will get infusion of money, as they become national security issue.

What about ASML subsidiaries in USA, like Cymer and ASML Wilton, will they take the bullet for the parent? Or will they become part of new competitor, with all the knowhow.

And China has already set domestic capacities in this area as a national priority.


Blocking EU from those services would crash the valuation of US AI companies, so I'm not expecting it to happen.


You'd still have access to the Chinese models though right? Even if you want to argue they aren't truly SOTA they're still pretty dang good.


How small should my circle of empathy be? Obviously humans are included, or ...?


Best practice is to include at least some humans in it!


Only shareholder bank accounts and your own.


You’re clearly not a top-level CEO; keep pruning.


I guess when the alternative is Trump's vision of the future ... - at least I know what I would choose.


Trump will be gone in 2028 and policies may radically change depending on who replaces him. There is no change on the horizon in the EU when Von Der Leyen is replaced (she is just the current public face of the blob...)


Do you believe this ? Even if the Americans get out of their zombie existence and get out to vote (on another candidate), I cannot imagine Trump will accept an election loss. (A reminder: The US has had a 24% drop in the Liberal Democracy Index score in just one year and your supreme court is owned)


>The US has had a 24% drop in the Liberal Democracy Index score

Yet another index detached from objective measures.

>your supreme court is owned

The same court that declined to take up Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election?


>The same court that declined to take up Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election?

Yes, that same court. It's incredible how rapidly the legal system has eroded in the US.


So you think SCOTUS should have entertained Trump's frivolous claims?


I agree, and moved to the EU from the US for related reasons, but Von der Leyen's entire strategy for handling Trump seems to be immediate capitulation to horrendously one-sided deals, which doesn't give a lot of confidence.


Von der Leyen has made it clear the values of the EU are exactly the same as those of the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEbQoT3Xlho


That video is from 11 months ago, long before Trump was elected for his second term. Once was an anomaly. Twice is nearly a pattern but not an anomaly. Third time is an established pattern.


That “completely isolated” sandbox is connected to the internet on one end, and to an insecure human on the other.


Did you even read this yourself? You've turned something succinct and readable into a tedious, impenetrable blob.


I read both of them. Different strokes I guess


I've been wanting to build something like this for myself, but partnering/integrating with banks seems to be the main difficulty. How do you solve this?

And which cards / banks does it support?

Also, what does the name mean? It might be a tad difficult to google, unfortunately, since I imagine that googling "lang" would come up with a lot of other results.


It doesn’t integrate with banks. You log as you spend. It’s a common question, but I think there are many reasons to keep it manual. It keeps you aware of what you have left. And automation won’t ever be perfect, so you must keep an eye on it and adjust things.

The app focuses just on your everyday spending. You don’t log bills and subscriptions. And it’s not about being exact. You can add the rough total of what you spent. It acknowledges that when you plan your spending, it’s really just a guess. And you’ll adjust the plan as you go.

What did you have in mind when you thought about building something like this?

The name means ’long’, and is pronounced similarly. Naming is of course hard. I’m hoping that it will be something you remember.
