This reads more like an advertisement for Mythos, on the first glance

I never understand these critiques. If something is useful and you’re selling it, does that mean any technical document describing its usefulness becomes marketing?

I guess maybe, but then do those documents lose value as technical documents? Not necessarily at all, so I don’t see the point. How are you supposed to describe a useful technical thing to users?


This is supposedly the Opus 4.7 model card. It's okay for it to be marketing for Opus 4.7 and describe what it can do, and even okay for it to talk about what it does better than the last generation. GP was saying it sounds like marketing for Mythos (a different and unreleased model). I don't want the Opus 4.7 model card to be advertising for something else.

For context, the word "Mythos" appears 331 times in a 221 page document. "Opus 4.6" appears 240 times, so a reference to a model that nobody has really used happens more often than the reference to the last generation model.


That's why I don't like these "model cards" being presented as if they are some sort of technical document -- they're marketing materials.

I just tried it. It downloaded Qwen3.5 2B on my phone and it's pretty coherent in its sentences, but really annoying with the amount of Ente products mentioned in every occasion. Other than that it's fast enough to talk to and definitely an easy way to run a model locally on your phone.

what’s embarrassing about that?


This is the wrong argument. Claiming that Mozilla is doing it wrong because the technology purist part of their userbase decided they don't want AI is simply short-sighted. The kill switch is the best option, because it let's Firefox be like a typical user would expect, while still giving the option to deactivate things. Deactivate by default and the typical user feels patronized.


I just got the new firefox update and on first load it gave me a decent splash screen about the AI features which I promptly disabled. This is fine.


For me this really speaks for intermediate text formats like Markdown, that are easy to read and render, while covering most formatting needs.


Historically, it was a rather famous page. It's a watchblog by the German security expert Felix Von Leitner. It exists since 2005, but since May this year, he didn't write anything until one new entry that you can see here: http://blog.fefe.de/?mon=202512


He suffers from a stroke but is recovering.


They replied in the meantime and removed the domain from their threat database.


Groovy. Hopefully they put a safeguard in place to prevent that from occurring again.


Interesting, I just downloaded the big list and couldn't find it there.


Looks like https://temp.sh/ is blocked as well.
