Is most of your daily driving "a race"?
This is a midrange model. This is competitive midrange pricing. For my midrange work I've been using GLM-5.2 - Gemini 3.7 flash is a bit cheaper and a bit better on the benchmarks, so yeah, I'll probably switch so long as the prices stay low.
Sometimes you need a high-end model (Claude Fable, GPT 5.6 Sol, Kimi K3, etc). Sometimes a low-end model is fine (GPT 5.6 Luna, DeepSeek 4 Flash 0731, etc). Usually a midrange model is the best balance.
Microsoft's roots run deep, and into the hearts of corporations and governments. Linking the hot thing of the moment into that plant, however badly, is what separated Microsoft from IBM. Big Blue's massive and iconic familiarity was the result of a happy accident they did their level best not to repeat, while Microsoft was always and remains happy to play to the demands of the moment to the detriment of security and reliability. Nothing has ever really changed with Microsoft regardless of CEO except that they've become more willing to throw things away and start again — but of course they still make the transitions from one thing to the next in the same way in which they do every thing: with hands of ham.
Good thing for them lock-in works!
Microsoft would simultaneously have you believe that their products are so good people can't help but want to use them, and that China is a hard place to sell a product in successfully so of course it only makes sense for them to withdraw.
Fact is, all of Microsoft's products are outshone by someone else's now, and many of them are free, and most of them are even Free!
Microsoft has already been transitioning towards being a service company more than a product company with Azure and 365. They are an IBM or Oracle now. Nobody wants most of their products, but they have legacy products that it makes sense to put them next to. If you were starting from scratch today, you'd start with something else.
Sounds like they're going for the Amazon model â" sell at a loss for years until the competition withers, then stop selling at a loss.
Yes, I agree, but it's insensible. The competition isn't going to wither because they have to compete with everyone, since it's an internet-delivered service. Plus, the industry is ripe for new developments from previously unknown players. Transformers made LLMs viable. What's the next development on that scale? It is of course unguessable, but if it doesn't come from Anthropic, they're not special.
They are never going to stop the hallucinations. They might get more rare but there is currently no path to that which does not involve a lot more processing time, and the AI DCs are already an issue.
Destroying Microsoft is great!
If they were they would tell us
I don't mean this as an insult - you aren't very good with rhetoric.
But you're shit at critical thinking, so why would I care what you think? I'm also not here to impress any pedo loving maggots.
I'm not saying they can't go public or won't get investors. I'm saying it's not going to be $2T unless some other shit changes a lot.
You weren't wrong, because agents are software and the user interacts with them. You only forgot to consider beauty through the eyes of the masses of asses.
There are to be three variants of the ES-300: an all-electric 200km version, a hybrid 30-seat 400km version, and a hybrid 25-seat 800km version. And the ES-300 airframe very much is not some existing airframe.
Finally I understand where turbo cancer comes from!
EV fires are rarer than ICE fires (and slower spreading as well), so given that the competition is fuel-based....
It is a perfectly cromulent statement. 1MW = power, $5 = a cost of energy. They are providing both power and (indirectly) energy.
All extremists should be taken out and shot.
