This is a 30B parameter MoE with 3B active parameters and is the successor to their previous 7B omni model. [1]

You can expect this model to have similar performance to the non-omni version. [2]

There aren't many open-weights omni models so I consider this a big deal. I would use this model to replace the keyboard and monitor in an application while doing the heavy lifting with other tech behind the scenes. There is also a reasoning version, which might be a bit amusing in an interactive voice chat if it pronounces the thinking tokens while working through to a final answer.

I strongly agree with this sentiment and I feel the same way.

The one exception for me though is when non-native English speakers want to participate in an English language discussion. LLMs produce by far the most natural sounding translations nowadays, but they imbue that "AI style" onto their output. I'm not sure what the solution here is because it's great for non-native speakers to be able to participate, but I find myself discarding any POV that was obviously expressed with AI.

one solution that appeals to me (and which i have myself used in online spaces where i don't speak the language) is to write in a language you can speak and let people translate it themselves however they wish

i don't think it is likely to catch on, though, outside of culturally multilingual environments

The blog is premised on the idea that Apple and MacBook are not doing fine.

that they're not doing fine software-wise

If you want to see something rather amusing - instead of using the LLM aspect of Gemini 3.0 Pro, feed a five-legged dog directly into Nano Banana Pro and give it an editing task that requires an intrinsic understanding of the unusual anatomy.

  Place sneakers on all of its legs.
It'll get this correct a surprising number of times (tested with BFL Flux2 Pro, and NB Pro).

i imagine the real answer is that the edits are local because that's how diffusion works; it's not like it's turning the input into "five-legged dog" and then generating a five-legged dog in shoes from scratch

>AFAICT, they're AI generated.

What is the "tell"? I'm not saying they are or aren't, but... people say this about literally everything now and it's typically some flimsy reasoning like "they used a bullet point". I don't see anything in particular that makes me think ai over a standard template some junior fills out.

>the vulnerability was not found by a Wiz employee at all

I've re-read the Wiz article a few times. Maybe I'm just dumb, but where did Wiz claim to have found this vulnerability?

tensegrist · 12 days ago
the tl;dr definitely came out of an llm

presentation and formatting aside the constant attempts to manufacture legitimacy and signal urgency are a classic tell. everything is "near-100%" reliable, urgent, critical, reproducible, catastrophic. siren emoji

Isn't this due to the 100M+ line C++ multi-threaded dependency being a potential nightmare when you are dealing with images in browsers/emails/etc. as an attack surface?

I think both Mozilla and Google are OK with this - if it is written in Rust in order to avoid that situation.

I know the linked post mentions this but isn't that the crux of the whole thing? The standard itself is clearly an improvement over what we've had since forever.

100M+ is a bit more than i would expect for an image format. have i not been paying attention

There are all of the usual signs. Overuse of em-dashes (34 of them), overuse of colons (41 of them), overuse of lists of three items comma-separated, incoherent overusage of bold text, overly terse "x → y" lists.

Some excerpts that are particularly obvious:

> Approve a drug that kills: massive public scandal, congressional hearings, career destruction—the action is visible, attributable, punishable. Delay a drug that would save lives: invisible deaths, no scandal, no attribution—the people who died waiting never become a story.

---

> The mechanics:

> *Interaction implies liability*: Help a homeless person imperfectly → criticized for the imperfection

> *Profit implies guilt*: Sell cheap water in a drought → "profiteer," "monster"

> *Ignorance implies innocence*: Ignore the problem entirely → zero criticism

---

> The Copenhagen Trap doesn't just affect decisions. It affects *who makes decisions*. This is not about individual choices. It is about civilizational selection pressure.

the headings alone are enough

There are people IRL that actually use em dashes and colons.

Just because em-dash usage is the latest trend in "spot the AI" doesn't mean that everything with an em-dash is AI generated.

tensegrist · 15 days ago
please don't defend this atrocious llm writing style (and thus, implicitly, the broader issue of people outsourcing writing to llms) by picking random aspects thereof and pointing out that there are human writers who share them

t. someone who uses a lot of em-dashes and doesn't plan to stop
