> There's an elephant in the room: why is maintaining a web browser costing $400M/y?

Is that actually the case though? I find it hard to believe that Mozilla has anywhere close to 1500 senior developers working on just Firefox. My guess is that the bulk of that money is spent on unrelated adventures and overhead.

Google Chrome is likely around $400M, while Mozilla's core browser team is around $200M but are technologically far behind. Hard to find precise numbers, it's just an order of magnitude estimate

Having a "lighter standard" simply means people will have to write native apps, one per platform. I understand Apple wants this, but for Mozilla that should be the antithesis of what they're trying to achieve.

The standard can be forward compatible. A light website is always great, you're using one right now.

There's an elephant in the room: why is maintaining a web browser costing $400M/y?

The web standards are growing faster than non-profit engines can implement them. Google & Apple are bloating the web specs in what looks like regulatory capture.

If Blink/Webkit dominate for long enough, they will lock everything down with DRMs & WEI. Maybe it's time to work on lighter protocols like Gopher & Gemini that don't need 20GB of RAM to open 20 tabs ?

An almost 50% price increase. Benchmarks look nice, but 50% more nice...?

#1 models are usually priced at 2x more than the competition, and they often decrease the price right when they lose the crown.

Running an LLM by default when I open your site is the most energy-consuming thing a computer can do, and the thing consumers hate the most in 2025.

How is there such a gap between Gemini 3 vs GPT 5.1/Opus 4.5? What is Gemini 3 crushing the others on?
arnaudsm · 17 days ago
Could be optimized for benchmarks, but Gemini 3 has been stellar for my tasks so far.

Maybe an architectural leap?

Geometric mean of MMMLU + GPQA-Diamond + SimpleQA + LiveCodeBench :

- Gemini 3.0 Pro : 84.8

- DeepSeek 3.2 : 83.6

- GPT-5.1 : 69.2

- Claude Opus 4.5 : 67.4

- Kimi-K2 (1.2T) : 42.0

- Mistral Large 3 (675B) : 41.9

- Deepseek-3.1 (670B) : 39.7

The 14B 8B & 3B models are SOTA though, and do not have chinese censorship like Qwen3.

Now that SO is almost dead, how will the AI labs train their LLMs on all the programming edge cases it used to document?

Will synthetic data and documentation RAG really be enough? Or will we be stuck at 2022 debugging knowledge forever?
