We’re super excited to announce the launch of our brand new model, Jamba 3B!
Jamba 3B is the swiss army knife of models, designed to be ready on the go.
You can run it on your iPhone, Android, Mac or PC for smart replies, conversat..."
🎯 LLM model comparisons • Benchmark deception • Political alignment concerns
💬 "The problem with LLM benchmarks is that they can be twisted and cherry-picked in so many different ways that just about anything can be read from them."
• "Yeah draw a random green triangle that makes us seem like the only good option, they love that"
💰 FUNDING
"Late interaction models perform shockingly well with small models. Use this method to build small domain-specific models for retrieval and more.

"Large language models are sometimes trained with imperfect oversight signals,
leading to undesired behaviors such as reward hacking and sycophancy. Improving
oversight quality can be expensive or infeasible, motivating methods that
improve learned behavior despite an imperfect training signal. We in..."

"Large reasoning models (LRMs) generate intermediate reasoning traces before
producing final answers, yielding strong gains on multi-step and mathematical
tasks. Yet aligning LRMs with human preferences, a crucial prerequisite for
model deployment, remains underexplored. The statistically correct obj..."
🛠️ TOOLS
"IBM recently released Granite Docling, a 258M parameter VLM engineered for efficient document conversion. So, I decided to build a demo which showcases the model running entirely in your browser with WebGPU acceleration. Since the model runs locally, no data is sent to a server (perfect for private ..."
🎯 WebGPU usage • PDF processing • Transformers.js
💬 "WebGPU seems to be underutilized in general"
• "granite-docling as my goto pdf processor"
🛠️ SHOW HN
🎯 Memory Integration • Seamless Usage • Separate Knowledge Tiers
💬 "The memory feature I'd like to have would need built-in support from Anthropic"
• "Your project becomes progressively more valuable the further you go down the list"
📊 DATA
"I'm a developer who got tired of synthetic benchmarks telling me which AI is "best" when my real-world experience didn't match the hype.
So I built
**CodeLens.AI** \- a community benchmark where developers submit actual code challenges, 6 models compete (GPT-5, Claude Opus 4.1..."
🎯 Manipulative marketing strategies • Community transparency • AI-driven content
💬 "The post is fine, the title is not. Manipulative marketing strategies work on different demographics, not this one"
• "You then could just say 'help me with data', not say 'look, we have a crap sample, but GPT-5 is clearly winning'. This manipulative thing, people find it offensive, you know?"
📈 BENCHMARKS
"Claude’s new Sonnet 4.5 model just topped the LMArena leaderboard (latest update), surpassing both Google and OpenAI models!
For those unfamiliar, LMArena is a crowdsourced platform where users compare AI models through blind tests. You chat with two anonymous models side-by-side, vote for the bett..."
🎯 AI model comparisons • AI model performance • Benchmark reliability
💬 "Gemini 2.5 Pro is one point behind, which is basically nothing."
• "It seriously feels to me, like they're running one models in benchmarks, and then try to optimize costs in publicly available versions."
🔒 SECURITY
"External link discussion - see full content at original source."
🎯 Chinese government use of ChatGPT • OpenAI's motives • China's human rights issues
💬 "Tired of all these bots talking like China is some amazing place."
• "OpenAI is desperate to get Chinese LLMs banned because they want less competition."

"Large language models (LLMs) are typically deployed under diverse memory and
compute constraints. Existing approaches build model families by training each
size independently, which is prohibitively expensive and provides only
coarse-grained size options. In this work, we identify a novel phenomenon..."

🎯 Liability for AI agent mistakes • Contracting vs. SaaS for AI agents • Evolving AI systems and accountability
💬 "when a customer's agent books 500 meetings with the wrong prospect list, the answer to 'who approved that?' cannot be 'the AI decided"
• "If I contract a company to build a house and it's upside down, I don't care if it was a robot that made the call, it's that company's fault not mine"
🔬 RESEARCH
"When running SmolAgents CodeAct for tool calling, we often observe that smaller open-source models struggle with complex tool-use tasks — and sometimes even fail at simple ones.
