  the largest tech companies (at the top 1%) aren't using fewer tokens, they're just being cost conscious and moving to cheaper, still very capable open models running vs SOTA model usage

  Well, we discuss it a lot, but I don't think it gets as much airtime as it should, and and that would be that would be quantum information science technology or quantum computing.

  A pay package that pays nothing unless the stock rises enormously is a good deal for shareholders, and most chief executives would refuse it.

  Their words

  I would agree to that type of package for every company I've ever worked with, and most CEOs wouldn't take it. Uh, it basically says you don't make money unless the stock goes way up. And if you stock goes way up, you make an obscene amount of money. And I would do that deal over and over and over and over again.

  Claude Fable 5

  Their words

  This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward

  The same law that made chips cheaper made the factories that produce them enormously more expensive.

  Their words

  These enormous costs are ultimately due to the same factor that has steadily driven down the cost of semiconductors: Moore’s Law, the observation that the number of components on an integrated circuit tends to double every two years.
