AMD’s compatibility has gotten better the past year, and ones that aren’t compatible usually have workarounds. But yeah, Nvidia is probably better if LLMs are important for you.

The 4060 Ti 16 GB version… that sounds good. About $500?

More like ~$800-900 unless you’re okay with buying used. The market is pretty darn bad, and it’s gotten SO much worse due to the tariff scare. Like I said, you’re better off waiting a few months if you can.

Not 100% sure about the chassis and compatibility with the rest of your rig so hopefully someone follows up on me, but in general I would try getting the AMD 9070 XT if you can find it near its real price ($600). That might be a bit difficult since it just released, so I would wait until it starts being more available if you can.

If not that, I’d recommend the 4060 Ti (16GB). Note that there’s an 8GB version too, do NOT buy that one. Nvidia is generally better when it comes to running AI, but the new AMD gpus are pretty good too.

There is, AI bots are scraping the entire internet and overloading servers by downloading everything. That’s literally why every website is adding captchas and hiding behind Cloudflare now.

Edit: just so you know, downvoting me doesn’t change actual facts

It’s a necessary evil sadly. The internet is so overrun with bots that if there wasn’t a captcha or those cloudflare “click here to pass” buttons, the internet would implode.

With this, OpenAI is officially starting to crack. They’ve been promising a lot and not delivering, the only reason they would push out GPT4.5 even though it’s worse and more expensive than the competition is because the investors are starting to get mad.

Finally, a data breach that doesn’t include me. Good to know I dodged it.

To be fair it starts with 32GB of RAM, which should be enough for most people. I know it’s a bit ironic that Framework have a non-upgradeable part, but I can’t see myself buying a 128GB machine and hoping to raise it any time in the future.

If you really need an upgradeable machine you wouldn’t be buying a mini-PC anyways, seems like they’re trying to capture a different market entirely.

If they can make a decent 2-in-1 in the $500 range, it would be massive. It doesn’t really need great specs, the major issue with these laptops are build quality and battery life.

in developing our reasoning models, we’ve optimized somewhat less for math and computer science competition problems, and instead shifted focus towards real-world tasks that better reflect how businesses actually use LLMs.

I was just about to say how useless these benchmarks are. Plenty of LLMs claim to be better than Claude and GPT4, but in real world use they’ve always been more reliable. Claude especially. Good to hear they’re not just chasing scores.

Uhhuh. “Feedback”, read: risk of class action lawsuits from everybody they tried stopping from reaching the support they paid for

So the answer, as always, is ban useless, power-sucking, unreliable, copyright-infringing AI.

That’s naive. It’s way too late for any of that. If some country decided to ban AI, all the engineers will just move somewhere else.

I understand it well. It’s still relevant to mention that you can run the distilled models on consumer hardware if you really care about privacy. 8GB+ VRAM isn’t crazy, especially if you have a ton of unified memory on macbooks or some Windows laptops releasing this year that have 64+GB unified memory. There are also websites re-hosting various versions of Deepseek like Huggingface hosting the 32B model which is good enough for most people.

Instead, the article is written like there is literally no way to use Deepseek privately, which is literally wrong.

DeepSeek is open source, meaning you can modify code(new window) on your own app to create an independent — and more secure — version. This has led some to hope that a more privacy-friendly version of DeepSeek could be developed. However, using DeepSeek in its current form — as it exists today, hosted in China — comes with serious risks for anyone concerned about their most sensitive, private information.

Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers is still subject to Chinese data laws, meaning that the Chinese government can demand access at any time.

What??? Whoever wrote this sounds like he has 0 understanding of how it works. There is no “more privacy-friendly version” that could be developed, the models are already out and you can run the entire model 100% locally. That’s as privacy-friendly as it gets.

“Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers are still subject to Chinese data laws”

Operated, yes. Trained, no. The model is MIT licensed, China has nothing on you when you run it yourself. I expect better from a company whose whole business is on privacy.

HuggingChat is open source and lets you use DeepSeek.

Very misleading, it lets you use the lighter, watered-down version (Deepseek 32B) compared to the large impressive model they have (Deepseek 671B)

The image generation is really bad. Image description capabilities seem good but it’ll take time to see if it’s better than what already exists.

They probably just put it out to keep the hype going.

I read most of it and yeah, the author almost had a point but just trails off for many, many paragraphs.

Making a dumb tweet doesn’t make you a fascist and doesn’t invalidate the years of hard work people put into a non-profit swiss company, you should get over yourself.

There’s the samsung tab S9 but it’s expensive and not exactly what you’re looking for. It’s 11", has a high resolution 120Hz AMOLED screen, and I can vouch that it’s really premium. You can put on a matte screen protector if you hate reflections.

The problem is that a 90Hz+ oled screen is almost exclusive to high-end tablets, so it’s best if you find one used or refurbished if you’re just going to use it for reading.

Not geoguessr, but rather the companies actually recording the street like Google.
