I don’t get the comment. For one I’m excited for developments in the field. Not afraid it will “replace me” as technology has replaced me multiple times over. I’m looking towards working with these models more and more.
No, I meant that a lot of us are working very fast on a pre-launch product, implementing some cutting edge ideas using e.g. the incredible speedup in a small fast inference model like quantized 3B in combination with other tools, and I think there's quite a bit of paranoia out there that someone else will beat you to market. And so not a lot of sharing going on in the comments. At least not as much as previously, and not as much technical discussion vs other non-AI threads on HN.
I’m focused on making models play nice with each other rather than building a feature that relies on it. That’s where I see the more relevant work being. Why such news are exciting!
