Theres a big difference between NOT truly open and opaque.Opus is downloadable and auditable. That’s not the same thing as undisclosed proprietary scraping. If your standard is absolute purity test, then yeah no one in AI passes. But claiming Mozilla is indistinguishable from OpenAI because they used scraped data is disingenous.

It is capable of that seahorse faux pas. '''Is there a seahorse emoji?

Well?

Yes – Unicode includes a seahorse emoji. It is U+1F9A0 and renders as:

(seahorse)

(If your device or browser doesn’t show the graphic, you may see a placeholder box.)

Interestingly, while it uses diffusion, it generates incorrect information, and it doesn't fix it when later in the text it realizes that it is incorrect:

I think you’ll have to do multi-shot generation to correct this, each diffusion is going to represent a single “thought”.

Though with the speed it’s running that’s not necessarily a deal breaker. I suspect diffusion models will need different harnesses to be effective.

Could have some more of the Sarvam models, including the ones recently announced.. But happy to see their names mentioned. Had tried joining them but they ghosted after one round :(

What about something like Hashicorp secrets? We have a the hashicorp secrets in launch.json and load the values when the process is initialized (yeah it is still not great)

Its meaningless cause every single place I worked at had labelled itself a "Great^TM" place to work at, but I only was kinda happy at one, and the other two were toxic hellholes.

Glassdoor, Indeed and Blind are more reliable. Also word of mouth.

IF it helps, try hedging b/w Copilot, Claude, OpenCode and ChatGPT. That is how I have been managing off late. Claude for planning and some nasty things. ChatGPT for quick questions. OpenCode with Sonnet4.5 on Bedrock and Copilot with Sonnet4.5/Opus4.5 (LOL)

Damn this is awesome. I have some heavy PRs to crunch through.

IPO only ONE but followups are called FPOs.
