Am I reading this right? You do still need internet access, to actually retrieve the page from someone else. Also I'm not sure how this will reduce data costs. Do providers charge different amounts for getting data from different servers? The same amount of data is still going into your device, it's just coming from somewhere else than usual
It seems to be a way to circumvent censorship.
Does anyone else get more excited by the progress of these small models than the frontier models?
It seems like a lot of the most exciting research is happening here - making unbelievable progress with such small parameter sizes.
I absolutely love it.
Am so much more excited about tiny models gaining real intelligence. Just today I have been running Qwen3.5 0.8B model on images and am pleasantly surprised by how good it is compared to even 4B and 8B models from a few months ago.
Andrej Karpathy said that major revolutions like the Internet, smartphones, and AI often don’t show up clearly in GDP statistics, even when they radically change how people work. GDP measures total spending, not productivity or usefulness. These revolutions improved efficiency and quality of life, but GDP mostly continued along its long-term trend.

Besides, AI has barely started to be productive to Developers. The rest of the workforce are still untouched for the most part. The tools that assist the bulk of knowledge work out there is still in the works.
Putting everything that DOGE has done, am I the only one who thinks that there is a teeny, tiny conflict of interest in Musk naming a department pretty much the same as one of the cryptocurrencies that he supports (Dogecoin)? Isn't that using the government for marketing?
And THAT is the biggest issue you have with the whole ordeal?
Let the market do. If good data is so critical to the success of AI, AI companies will pay for it. I don't know how someone can still entertain the idea that a bureaucrat, or worse, a politician, is remotely competent at designing an efficient economy.
All the world's data was critical to the success of AI. They stole it and fought the system to pay nothing. Then settled it for peanuts because the original creators are weak to negotiate. It already happened.
So the solution is to allow the AI scraping and hide the content, with significantly reduced fidelity and accuracy and not in the original representation, in some language model?
Don't forget the onslaught of ads that will distort the actual publications even more going forward.
Weird, considering IA has most of its content in a way you could rehost it all idk why nobody’s just hosting a IA carbon copy that AI companies can hit endlessly, and then cutting IA a nice little check in the process, but I guess some of the wealthiest AI startups are very frugal about training data?
This also goes back to something I said long ago, AI companies are relearning software engineering poorly. I can think of so many ways to speed up AI crawlers, im surprised someone being paid 5x my salary cannot.
Unless regulated, there is no incentive for the giants to fund anything.

Although I have been a skeptic of MCPs, it has been an immense help with agents. I do not have an alternative at the moment.
