You need to have extreme curiousity if you want humans to sustain this war with AI. Either out monkey the AI, or retire. That's my motto. I am not retiring, yet. Gonna out-curious the Ai until that day comes. Curiosity is my #1 weapon. Not lemming is my #2.

First it was the 10m ctx, then 1b, next came T1000.
Introducing Fern, Mirendil’s first model: pretrained from scratch, with up to 10M tokens of context! That’s ~0.5M lines of code (roughly Megatron-LM scale) or days of an agent’s work, all in context at once. Its first version, Fern 0.1, had a short round of post-training 🚢

Can someone reach out to me in dm so I can rent for a few days bare metal Mi350/MI355X? I need near bare metal, not fully virtualized or at least allow me to customize hw virtualization. @tensorwave @CoreWeave @AIatAMD 🙏

DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017 has never rejected any of my requests due to safety wall and I have used billions tokens on it over many weeks. Curious. What exactly are you people prompting? 😅

ROCm 10.1 pip install doesn't actually install everything. Need to run "rocm-sdk init" cli 🫠 to unpack the headers/libs. This is anti-pip and bad dev usability. They should've implemented --no-build-isolation and do the unpacking during pip setup ! @AIatAMD Want me to pr?

Btw, most agents miss this and if you ask agent to install, they may always complain about missing lib/headers after "proper" pip install. It's documented by AMD to run rocm-skd init but just because it's documented doesn't' mean it's a good install flow.

One word: heat. Whether that is heat from the hbm packaging on/off die, system cooling, I have no clue but I bet my 2 peanuts on heat. AMD has been chipleting long before Nvidia and MI450 is finally showing it's potential end-game to Nvidia semi-monopoly.
Holy smoke NVIDIA has officially lowered the HBM4 pin speed. 11.7-> 9.3Gbps

I am not impressed with the public speed results (agentx) for MI350/MI355X for DeepSeek v4.1 Flash. Maybe I should do something about it.

Frame this image for eternity. I think history will be very kind to them.
Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on his electoral victory. Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil. Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving. We will remain by your side for the years to come. Together we will keep working closely for free and open trade. A rules-based global order. And strong ambitions for our climate.

We need to prepare for 400 decode t/s as normal api in 2 months time.

Almost every AI agent/provider/endpoint is dog slow today. I went as far as to test several "fast" endpoints on OpenRouter and they also got slower over the past 12 hours. Either everyone's out of compute, backed up QoS queue or my ip is throttled.

Documentation is code, it is oracle. Technical writers sometimes needs to be taken out to the sheds. Nasdaq listed hw co still can't find itself to align cpu0/1 as 0 offset based or 1 offset based in its own docs. These two pdf diagrams are back to back next to each other.🫠

I also get a headache reading these docs because almost all hw companies would randomly flip the motherboard 180 degrees in various diagrams. Hello! My head can't spin around like an alien.

Many Python programs using env variables for flow control/config is a festering disease that should be cured. Just my two cents.

🥳 GPT-QModel 7.7.0 dropped! I appreciate the continued contributions from @IntelAI and @positron_ai 👊 * VTPQ added. * Extensive CPU kernels optimized for Zen5 @AIatAMD * Lots of micro optimizations in the quantization pipeline * Many more model support added/clean-ups.

🥰 Got this dm. Feels good to be acknowledged to have contributed to the advancement of ai in however tiny ways. Many startups, from m to b $ in vc using GPT-QModel,mostly in secret. I wish they upstream their own modifications but competition is so fierce, many don't. 😎
