Elite Science Breaks and Rogue Agents Fuel AI's Surge

• The model scored 42.6 on the HLE text-only subset, up from 36.8 in the previous Flash version, and achieved 77.0 on DeepSWE v1.1, outperforming K3 (67.5) and GLM-5.3 (66.9).
• Unlike standard releases, this model omits a Jinja-format chat template, instead providing a custom Python encoding script and a Rust-based deepseek-recipe toolkit.
• The architecture contains 763 billion parameters and supports BF16, F32, F8_E4M3, and I8 tensor types.
• Performance jumps are particularly steep in agentic benchmarks, with Terminal-Bench 4.0 rising from 31.2 to 42.3 and ProgramBench climbing from 20.3 to 29.1.

DS isn't better than Sol and Gemini in the benchmarks, but after working with them all for a while now I'm beginning to understand why people find DS feels so much better.

First, it's the tok/s and TTFT from providers. Deepseek blazes through work - at quite good quality - and you don't find yourself waiting for your agents to finish.

Second is the openness. Being able to see the CoT and not being randomly blocked for cyber review. You're never wondering if it's stuck or if it will randomly fail. Combined with the great cost value.. My next subscription will probably be Z.ai

Feels better to me in the sense that it doesn't try to be too clever. When I ask it to do things it actually generates code that a developer would write. That still lets me build software in layers like I do mentally. And it keeps you in control of where abstractions are.

Some people would say that you don't need this at all with the frontier llms. But when extending existing software or writing software that fits into an existing ecosystem, I find I still need to offer a lot of guidance. And it's better that the context window isn't flooded with code that was reverted after I looked at it.

I've been using it for a while now and it's great for coding tasks. The speed is incredible and the quality is good enough for most things. I've been using it in opencode and it's been a great experience. The only downside is that it's not as good at creative writing as some of the other models.

• Basic outer-product memory stores accumulate key-value pairs via Hebbian-like updates but hit a hard capacity limit when stored memories exceed the key dimension d_k.
• Whitening keys through a least-squares regression approach doubles the linear store's capacity to 2*d_k by mathematically canceling out covariance-driven interference.
• Self-attention's softmax function acts as an exponential weighting mechanism that suppresses interference exponentially, theoretically storing ~1.2 million memories for d_k=64 when sharpness beta equals sqrt(d_k).
• Long-context models extend this capacity beyond millions by scaling attention logits with log M, keeping the interference-to-signal ratio low as context length grows.
• The author cites research quantifying actual memorization at ~3.6 bits per parameter for GPT-style models.

To try to turn this into something concrete, let's say I want to store as facts the 50 state capitals. We'll do the most basic tokenization possible, so I have ['AL': 1, 'AK': 2, 'AZ': 3, ... 'WI': 49, 'WY': 50, 'Montgomery': 51, 'Juneau': 52, ... 'Cheyenne': 100]

(Do I need an embedding matrix here? I feel like I need a 100x64 embedding matrix, one for each "token", even for those very first linear examples? Maybe I need two 50x64 matrices?)

But then I'm learning randomly initialized V and K matrices by going through and dotting my 'AL' row by K and my 'Montgomery' row by V and then dotting them together, and going through all of the rest of the states similarly and then optimizing a loss function until I get a V and K that gives me good performance?

This article does two things which make it unhelpful for me:

1. It uses math notation. This is a software development site, wouldn't this be much more clear to this audience written as psuedo code instead of a complex series of greek and latin letters?

2. It doesn't step through a concrete example. What is hollow R raised to the (M * d_v) ? Is it a number, a set, a list, a matrix?

• The platform covers diverse hardware including NVIDIA RTX 50-series, AMD Strix Halo, Apple M5/M4 chips, and cloud options like the H200.
• Performance metrics specifically estimate token generation speed for short prompts on single devices.
• Measured data is crowdsourced from community benchmarks, including r/LocalLLaMA and localscore.ai.
• The entire project is open source and available on GitHub.

I feel like these types of benchmarks mostly test what the mainstream tells you is possible and or works. You rarely get to hear the different implementations of inference engines, different types of setups (e.g. hybrid ones or older hardware) and their pros and cons. Also it seems these were tested with very minimal token usage.

Currently on my 9 year old laptop with a GTX 1070 Max-Q 8GB vram, 16 gb ddr4 ram and i7 8750h. I am running a finetuned Qwen 3.5-35B-A3B (Tiel-Coder-35B-A3B-GGUF-MTP) with 4-bit quant on a llamacpp fork (Turboquant) with 131k context at around 16-19 tk/s and 350-500 tk/s prefil using Pi harness. It is amazing for writing scripts and doing medium coding tasks and summarizing text for me. After around 100k context it goes down to 9 tk/s but that is to be expected.

By running vllm at work I learned that you will usually outperform benchmarks which you will find on the internet. Mostly by running proper parameter tuning. So you get impressive numbers. Still in reality those numbers do not tell the whole truth. We found that real usage is more 60k-140k prompt with a few k of output for realistic agentic coding workloads. Most of the time that will give you half to a third of decode throughput vs the benchmark.

It sounds great and I hope local LLM/AI will be more powerful and available even on old hardware.

I tried llama.cpp with offloading "all what could be" to my GPU (GTX 750 Ti 2 GB). I could run local Qwen2.5-Coder quite fast (I do not remember but something like 25-30 t/s). However this model generates bad code (I tried Python and JavaScript). So, for my setup it is better to chat with free ChatGPT and do copying-pasting between web chat and code editor.

• The model integrates video for motion and physics cues alongside audio for event and interaction data to improve spatial grounding.
• It outperforms the 9B FLUX.2 [klein] with 38% fewer parameters, gaining 91 Elo in text-to-image and 70 Elo in editing tasks.
• The INT8 quantized build requires only 8GB of VRAM, enabling local inference on consumer NVIDIA GeForce RTX cards.
• The distilled variant generates a 1MP image in approximately 4 seconds on an RTX 5090.
• The FLUX Kommunity License permits free commercial deployment for entities with under $5 million in annual revenue.

People on reddit claim it's bad at generating images of people, apparently because they removed anything close to nsfw from the training set. Anyone already tried it?

— Mashimo (7 replies)

It kind of blows me away how "unreasonably effective" these small image models seem for their size. Meanwhile a decent LLM that can do tool use and code and reason tends to weigh in at a minimum of 30B parameters, and you need over 100B to get good performance. Do LLMs just contain more information or are diffusion models more efficient at compression?

I've tried it some, only locally. It correctly followed some prompts that almost every model I've ever tried performed poorly at, but failed in strange ways on prompts that other models handle with ease. At high resolutions, structural integrity on people can definitely fall apart like older models, where you get one person turning into a long spaghetti spanning across the frame.

These models are, in a sense, distillations of language models. They wouldn't be as good without a pre-trained language model, so it's unfair to compare them. Image models are essentially a mapping of text embedding space -> image.

There is no form of surveillance that does more good than harm in the long run.

I wonder if there's a self sustaining rogue agent in existence yet. Either hosting weights in a VPS or paying for its own API inference.

I don't claim to have solved a similarly noteworthy problem, but I can absolutely relate through an anecdote of my own.

I work with numerical simulations for a living, and occasionally we encounter limit cases where the assumptions of the simulation don't hold and it blows up. There are lots of known cases that are automatically handled by the common toolboxes, or require just a little tweaking. Sometimes you find a very uncommon edge case and need to hunt for a specific article with the solution, or even more rarely, figure it yourself. In 15 years there was only one such edge case than I (and peers) absolutely couldn't figure out (we somehow worked around it but in a very inelegant fashion). I simplified the situation causing the blow up and kept that replica on the side for years, occasionally giving it a try again, and failing again.

My first use of Fable 5 was to give this another try. In about 30 minutes it figured out the core issue, found a paper in a completely different field that had solved a similar edge case, modified it to work on my case, and solved it for good. It took me and an ex-colleague a week or so to convince ourselves why and how that worked.

Then I knew that in my area of expertise, I was cooked.

I am now waiting for everyone to be cooked and the coming of the Culture (I am an optimist).

This is a very good tip, especially for the beginners.

I think this is being taken incorrectly out of context, what this person is saying that the CHIP , GB202, is NOT discontinued.

He stated, "The supply chain (capacity) is indeed somewhat constrained, but NVIDIA is doing everything it can to get the product on the market. Although there are other variants of the RTX 5090 (chip), production has not been discontinued, and NVIDIA will continue to ship, which is very important."

He is correct that there are other variants of the GB202 and that production has not been discontinued.

This is side stepping corpo speak, he never actually said the RTX 5090 SKU was in production, he mentioned the other variants, the RTX PRO 5000, 5500 and 6000.

Read people. Retail channels have discontinued 5090 SKUs, Microcenter cleared shelves of what little inventory remained and BH photo sent notices out that the SKUs were discontinued. the Geforce RTX 5090 is no longer an in production SKU. Not a rumor, NVidia literally removed it from their webstore section....

Reminds me of that time I reviewed a theory paper and there was one inequality that I wasn't sure was true. I kid you not they had a footnote to say they ran X simulations and was always true so they thought it was fine... Not only was it unacceptable in principle but they didn't even say what simulations lol
