- rohansood15I agree that it should be open-source, but I think it can still be a YC company. Improving the user experience on the web is definitely a billion-dollar market.
- This looks really slick, though it's a bummer that there isn't a quick way to try the hosted version. You mentioned the Vercel UX in the comments, and I think the single-click install on the hosted version is a significant part of it.
EDIT: Just got approved for access - thanks!
- I don't get why folks are so dismissive here.
If you ever saw Claude Code/Codex use grep, you will find that it constructs complex queries that encompass a whole range of keywords which may not even be present in the original user query. So the 'semantic meaning' isn't actually lost.
And nobody is putting an entire enterprise's knowledge base inside the context window. How many enterprise tasks are there that need referencing more that a dozen docs? And even those that do, can be broken down into sub-tasks of manageable size.
Lastly, nobody here mentions how much of a pain it is to build, maintain and secure an enterprise vector database. People spend months cleaning the data, chunking and vectorizing it, only for newer versions of the same data making it redundant overnight. And good look recreating your entire permissioning and access control stack on top of the vector database you just created.
The RAG obituary is a bit provocative, and maybe that's intentional. But it's surprising how negative/dismissive the reactions in this thread are.
- 2.0 Flash is significantly cheaper than 2.5 Flash, and is/was better than 2.5-Flash-Lite before this latest update. It's a great workhorse model for basic text parsing/summary/image understanding etc. Though looks like 2.5-Flash-Lite will make it redundant.
- This is why we should have a downvote button on HN.
They say you shouldn't attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence, but this sure seems like malice.
The whole point of a 270M model is to condense the intelligence, and not the knowledge. Of course it doesn't fare well on a quiz.
- What do you think it is 'mocking'? It is exactly the behavior that would make the tests work. And unless I give it access to production, it has no way to verify tasks like how values (in this case secrets/envs) are being passed.
Plus, this is all besides the point. Simon argued that the model hallucinates less, not a specific product.
- The company can also issue a share buyback. Doesn't have to be profits. And you're right about the preference rights.
Employees who haven't vested their shares can't complain/enforce tag-along/sue for minority investor rights.
- 1.2B went to investors, the remaining 1.2B was actually an incentive/payout for the founders/employees that google took. The company basically has whatever money it had in the bank, plus a bit more from Google - but no investor liabilities.
- On multiple occasions, Claude Code claims it completed a task when it actually just wrote mock code. It will also answer questions with certainity (for e.g. where is this value being passed), but in reality it is making it up. So if you haven't been seeing hallucinations on Opus/Sonnet, you probably aren't looking deep enough.
- The 'Sign In' link on the Ollama Mac App when you click Turbo doesn't work...
- I have never owned a gaming console, and I was actually considering getting the Switch 2 as a casual gamer to play with friends/family.
My first reaction when I saw the launch/gameplay video was why does this look so washed out? Now I kinda know why - thank you!
- He's not claiming he did. It says right there that it's an open-source implementation to run with local models.

- Students want the diploma because it has value. It has value because a student can only get it by learning and problem-solving.
If students find a way to get a diploma without doing the work, it will soon be worth less than the paper on which it is printed.

- That's not true. The Internet was inherently unreliable for a long time—connection drops, packet losses, hardware failures—but that didn't stop it from being a platform for incredible value.
You can build valuable, reliable systems on top of unreliable foundations. That's how humanity has progressed over the centuries.
- This. Some of the biggest arguments against AI/LLMs being ready for prime time are a result of ignorance around the current SoTA.
- If you look past the hyperbole, I think there are some interesting data points in there. For example, fewer enterprises claim to have AI systems in production this year vs last year.
