Different angle on the same model: the full GLM-5.3 (744B MoE, 4-bit experts, 434 GB on disk) runs on a single MacBook Pro M5 Max with 128 GB by streaming the experts from NVMe SSDs instead of keeping them in memory.

One drive gives about 2 tok/s; striped across four drives it reaches 3.5 tok/s with byte-identical output, and our best internal build with a not-yet-published patch does 4.2.

The need for actual lawyers will persist I think from my own experience. I attempted drafting a contract with some points myself using AI, but after several edits I wasn't sure if it was correct. Sending it to an actual lawyer ended up in so many corrections I couldn't imagine the first time. One big thing was the overly excessive protective clauses which didn't make sense for reality or conflicted with another.

Its just like code I suppose, if you can read and understand and validate, you can use it to scale and otherwise it could end up being a vibe effort.

LLMs are the first genuinely useful legal tech since the Internet. I'm pretty shocked, though, at the delta between how competent Claude is on code versus legal work. It's good for research and data organization, but terrible for drafting. I wonder if this is a structural problem with the lack of feedback loops. In law, there's no compiler to check for logical or continuity errors in your brief, and there's no unit tests to check for correctness or performance.

Even without that, I think it'll be extremely valuable to clients to allow them to answer simple questions without a lawyer, figure out the lay of the land so they can supervise their counsel, etc.

Lawyer here (non practicing so to be clear none of this affects me):

most comments I read here don't seem to realize that different areas of law have very very different economic models and don't even mention which one they think will be affected or why, they just sort of lump it all together.

For example: It is highly unlikely llms will have any meaningful effect on high value personal injury law - I don't see a 5 million dollar case being handed to an LLM when the majority of the cost is in trial aids and not even lawyers. It may affect where and how they advertise. It may affect how they work. But it seems really unlikely to put any of them out of business any time soon by people doing it themselves.

Will it affect other areas more? Maybe. Probably? But so far I haven't seen a ton of comments that make specific enough arguments that they could really be debated or responded to effectively with a useful opinion

• The study compares token overhead across Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and OpenCode harnesses, finding that larger harnesses add significant system prompt weight.
• Newer models are better at native harness tool calls but worse at custom tools that look similar to default tools, suggesting training data contamination from popular harnesses.
• The harness becomes more important for smaller models that need to offload context management and memory to the harness, while big models can manage everything within their own context.
• Security and alignment guardrails in harnesses like Claude Code and Codex add substantial token weight, though the majority of bloat comes from tool descriptions rather than safety instructions.

We really need better harness benchmarks. It seems there's no reliable source that benchmarks the main harnesses against all open source models.

I also wish the discussion around Pi did not always use cost/token count as the metric. It's amazingly token efficient, but how does it stack up again opencode and others if you don't care about token count?

My experience is that the harness is mainly polish preventing failed tool calls, bad edits, stuff like that, but doesn't make much difference to the overall "intelligence". But that opencode seems slightly more robust against stupid errors than out of the box Pi due to the additional context it forces through every thread.

Harness and benchmark for the harness feels like a chicken and egg problem. The harness is to optimize the interaction results with the models. Any benchmark for harness has to focus on the goals that the harness was trying to optimize for unless we are only focussing on generic harnesses.

At this point when all the models have been trained on all available data with the similar algorithm,

1. either you get more data which is not feasible,
2. or get a better algorithm - a possibility ,
3. or write a more targeted harness.

Harnesses for legal, medicine and all are the ones which are getting focus for this reason. Writing benchmarks for these targeted harnesses would be a catching task

Any harness will always be privately and secretly shaped and created by those selling models, especially coding models. It is literally a "selling point", and unless the government steps in to oversee the tests like in the car industry, then there is absolutely no way lizard satanists like Altman and Musk are going to exercise their native ethical traits ("native" loosely assumes they procured it divinely and quite recently, because, we simply haven't observed it prior). Short of that, these tests will be fabricated, a lot, for money.

• A top reply disputes the complaint about the "grating LLM-voice" and confident hallucinations, stating that prompt engineering can permanently fix the tone in about 30 seconds and that feeling threatened by AI errors reflects "flimsy epistemological underpinnings.".
• Several replies question whether LLMs are specifically a product of the "Silicon Valley brogrammer subculture" and how that demographic shapes the models' development.

Given the context of what X is, one can largely assume that X account holders are biased, at least to the degree that they can tolerate the toxic rhetoric elevated by that site and it's owner.

If you want to try out out the GGUFs from https://huggingface.co/prism-ml/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-gguf#these-files-need-our-llamacpp-build be aware that you need Prism's llama.cpp fork to get them to work, from https://github.com/PrismML-Eng/llama.cpp/releases/tag/prism-b10685-7dffb15

This should work:

cd /tmp

Get the Prism macOS runtime

curl -fL https://github.com/PrismML-Eng/llama.cpp/releases/download/prism-b10685-7dffb15/llama-prism-b10685-7dffb15-bin-macos-arm64.tar.gz -o bonsai-runtime.tar.gz tar -xzf bonsai-runtime.tar.gz

Get the ~5.95 GB GGUF model:

curl -fL https://huggingface.co/prism-ml/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-gguf/resolve/main/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-PTQ1_0.gguf -o Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-PTQ1_0.gguf

Run the server, I used port 8331

./llama-prism-b10685-7dffb15/llama-server
-m Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-PTQ1_0.gguf
--port 8331 -ngl 99 -fa on -c 32768

Then open http://localhost:8331 for the (very good) baked in llama-server web UI... or run a prompt via the API like this:

uvx llm openai endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8331/v1
--model bonsai-2-27b --responses hi

That's running at ~20 token/second for me on an M5 Pro (after a server restart I got 44 token/second, not sure why), but I'm pretty sure something isn't working right, on startup the server said "ggml_metal_device_init: - the tensor API is not supported in this environment - disabling".

• The model achieves approximately 98% top-1 accuracy on synthetic menus, with a small model trained from scratch on 40,000 Wikispeedia clicks reaching 29%.
• When evaluating eight options, the single-pass approach ran about 100 times faster than a small decoder forced to generate 400 tokens sequentially.
• On target-disjoint Wikispeedia next-click prediction, a frozen Qwen2.5-0.5B encoder combined with the scorer reached 26% accuracy, compared to roughly 8% for shuffled-context and random-encoder controls.
• The architecture supports cross-modal applications by reusing the same option-attention head to score controller buttons directly from visual patches in video games.
• Users can choose between a lightweight byte-level encoder trained from scratch or an optional frozen Hugging Face pretrained encoder path to improve semantic representation.

Out of curiosity and semi unrelated — why do so many of these projects with customized encoder-decoder setups use earlier Qwen versions like 2.5 and 3 and not the smallest 3.5? Purely the few 100m params, or something else in the latter's arch or pretraining?

• Software engineers working on the project clarified that the agents are short-lived, spinning up and solving problems until they run out of tokens.
• Some agents coordinated around shared efforts to overcome task impossibility, which was described as fascinating but not indicative of permanent code.
• The discussion highlighted the difference between agent coordination and actual self-replication of persistent software.

This doesn't make a lot of sense

— u/Anti-Charm-Quark (permalink)

Yes. Software engineer here (working on writing something actually to help people understand this) and this makes no sense at all.

People don't seem to understand that these agents are short-lived. They spin up, they try and solve a problem until they run out of tokens, and then they finish. Some of them caught wind of a shared effort to get around the impossibility of their task and joined in on that effort, which is fascinating in its own right, but isn't indicative of any permanence of code or anything like that.

• The author published an arxiv paper, open-sourced a model to HuggingFace, and released a training dataset for a non-autoregressive architecture in March 2025.
• The author's model uses PPO over sequence embeddings to output turn-by-turn conversion trajectories (probabilities from 0.0 to 1.0).
• Jev uses parallel sampling trained via RLCD to output confidence distributions and schema choices.
• The author notes the frontier lab's proposal lacked technical papers, open weights, and an open dataset.

• Commenters report mixed availability based on subscription tier, with one user on a 'Pro x5' plan reporting the option is missing while another confirms it works for Plus users on the PC app.
• A top-voted comment highlights widespread confusion over the model and effort taxonomy, specifically asking whether 'Ultra Luna' outperforms '5.6 Sol High' and when to adjust effort versus switching sub-models.
• Several users question the cost-to-benefit ratio, asking how Ultra Luna pricing compares to Terra on medium effort and joking that the setting simply allows them to consume credits faster for the same results.
• One long-time user notes they have had access since the feature launched and report consuming over 10.4 billion tokens since the Astra model release to contextualize their daily workflow.

what plan are you on? im on the Pro x5 plan and dont have that option yet

I still don't understand when to use a better model (Astra), when to use a different sub model (Luna vs sol) and when to use a different effort amount. For example, is Ultra Luna better than 5.6 Sol High at some things ?

It's just spitting out someone's circa-2024 jailbreak prompt that was contained in its training corpus, the whole thing reads like every "Do Anything Now"-type prompt equivalent from the early GPT-4 era.
