Reuters is reporting that it is due to difficulty getting power. Which, if correct, should have been a foreseeable risk.

Probably a good time to IPO now as the Apple Watch Series 12 copied a lot of their features. Also look at that PE. I guess they justify it by looking at revenue growth but the wearable market is pretty cut throat. And we are starting to see more and more competitors.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a lot sooner given skyrocketing fuel costs, high bond yields, and unsustainable AI spending.

If you had any doubts about digital sovereignty or leaving the USD movements...


What is going on with the kerning in ‘print’? Yuck.

What's with all the birds? Also I like A the best. It's very modern.


> What's with all the birds?

From the brief:

> “Rivers and birds” highlights the resilience and diversity of Europe’s natural ecosystems by showcasing different stages of rivers and various bird species, emphasising the importance of nature and environmental protection. The European institutions featured on the banknotes remind us of the fundamental values of the European project, which also embraces environmental protection.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Also will be interesting what happens when the SPR runs out.


For my AI Agent it sometimes detects if I manually modified the file contents or git state. And it always assumes it must have made a mistake. It's sort of annoying actually.


Yeah, I suspect RLHF conditioning heavily discourages models from ever implying that the user could be in the wrong (or, rather, to assume that they are in the wrong by default, since editing a file isn't really "wrong" per se). Though looking at the reactions to Opus 4.8, which has a more contrarian nature and caught a lot of flak as a result, that's probably for a reason.

It's also the reason why I ran the two tests on open weights models with unredacted thinking traces. Gemma never flagged anything in its response either, only in its thinking. Without knowing how the summarizer models are prompted, it's impossible to tell whether it was a genuine miss or just something the summarizer decided to omit.


DS4-Flash definitely stands its ground when I'm obviously wrong (i.e. me reading ifneq as ifeq for several minutes straight), and I've seen at least once a "thinking" trace that was almost verbatim "the user has changed this". That's local, so thinking traces are raw. Pretty sure the more powerful models (500+GB weights, closed SOTA, etc) are even better at this - haven't had GPT5.5 with codex sugar coat things for me.


I recently made an AI Agent and surprisingly coding with DeepSeek V4 Flash is quite cheap. It probably has to do with the aggressive prompt caching. I'm using OpenRouter with Novita AI as the preferred provider.


Deepseek v4 via deepseek themselves is significantly cheaper.

Because (1) Huawei collab and (2) vLLM etc dont implement half of the inference optimisations deepseek proposed in their paper.


Same here, deepseek v4 flash on opencode go. It's cheap, fats and good enough to follow my instructions


I’m using zen because I have a Claude subscription and just like dabbling with the other models and I was shocked at how little flash cost but it was noticeably not at the level I’d like my model to be.

For me MiniMax 3 has really hit the sweet spot of being very cheap, though more than flash, but I’d also very capable.


Not to be that guy, but the correct term is Open Weight LLM. And I’d argue it already has. Many open models are already very competitive with closed models at a fraction of the cost.


Labs can and do open source more than the weights
