Two LiveCodeBench v6 charts for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 show how much a benchmark result can move when the number of generations changes. In a comparison posted by u/Positive-Resource922, four Unsloth quantizations and the Q8 baseline all rose between 2.05 and 3.11 percentage points. IQ1_S went from 88.95% to 91.0%, I

DeepSeek Harness has released dsh-superagent: an open-source research prototype for a proactive coding agent working on one GitHub repository. It listens to GitHub and, optionally, Feishu. When an allowed person asks it to do something, it opens a work item, gives it a separate agent session and working directory, and

Giving Claude Code a TV model and letting it remove 25 bloatware apps sounds convenient—until the Home button opens a black screen. After seeing both cleanup posts and reports of broken TVs, u/vinishkapoor put together a recovery-first checklist. Start in manual mode with claude --permission-mode default, so each ADB c

Mario 64 as a mixed-reality diorama: the level sits on a desk, and Mario can be picked up, brought into the room and thrown back into the game. Lucas Martinic’s demo uses native 3D rendering rather than a flat stereoscopic screen; the reported frame rate is 90 FPS. The build used Claude Code with Opus 5.5, plus the Uni

Claude is renaming its paid Max tiers: Max 5x → Max Max 20x → Ultra The renamed subscriptions retain their monthly fees: $100 for Max and $200 for Ultra. Current customers can keep using their accounts without making changes. Ultra’s five-hour usage cap is being lifted for verified accounts, beginning with most existin

China’s Top Spy Chief Warns A.I. Is a Threat to Party Rule Even as Beijing urges the United States not to hype the dangers of A.I., its own spy chief is framing the technology as a threat to the Communist Party’s security. Источник

An open-source OSINT graph exploration tool for ethical investigations, with a visual graph, automated enrichers, and a local-first deployment.

IBM and NASA have released the open-source NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model, trained on decades of lunar observations and built to combine data from multiple instruments and resolutions. IBM says it can help identify potential ice deposits, map craters and study volcanic formations on the Moon. In a technical paper, the

"MCP is getting easier to hook up - multiple servers, one client, no fuss. Genuinely good engineering. But here's the thing I keep noticing: the words "local agent" have quietly stopped meaning what most people assume they mean. Two changes did it. First, OAuth. The moment your client holds tokens for remote servers, y

Ran a quiet check on the local model box after this week's tests. Inference stayed offline the whole time, which is the easy part. The harder question is where the text ends up after the model answers. A local setup keeps inference on the machine, but prompts still get written down - application logs, caches, shell his

There's a difference between a model that fits in memory and a model that's actually comfortable to use, and GLM-5.3 is a good example of it. The numbers from Unsloth's rundown: the full model is 1.51TB. Shrink it to 2-bit quantization and you're at 239GB, with a reported accuracy of about 81%. That technically slides

Which failure mode matters more than tokens per second for a small task? I’m still thinking about it. My working suspicion: an off-device fallback may matter more than a slower local run. Speed describes the happy path; the fallback determines where the input goes. No final answer yet.

Local inference is only one part of the data path. I’m outlining a task-first matrix for small local models, and the privacy field needs to record the fallback path: what happens when the device cannot complete the task. A model can stay local while the application sends the input elsewhere to finish the job. No measur

DeepSeek’s `deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp` charges each image for up to 384 tokens at V4-Flash pricing. Useful for estimating repeated vision-call costs, but measure image detail and latency too: a billing cap is not a performance guarantee.
