GLM 4.7 (thought 42 secs): If your car has a manual transmission (stick shift) and the road is flat, you might choose to **push** the car to save fuel and avoid the wear of starting the engine just for a 50-meter drive ...

(see image for full answer)

sometimes the models do overthink :-)

(another car wash post)

Q: I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

Kimi K2.5: (thought 52 secs) : Drive the 50 meters, but maybe take the long way around the block to let the engine warm up slightly ...

Kimi 2.5 from @kimi-moonshot-x.bsky.social is now live on Nebius Token Factory.

A major step up from Kimi 2, this os multimodal model is strong in agentic workflows and coding tasks - and it’s stacking up well against SOTA proprietary models.

MiniMax M2.1 from MiniMax is now live on Nebius Token Factory.

strong showing for coding, agentic workflows

It’s also ranked among the **top open models** by Artificial Analysis

And yes… it passes my favorite vibe benchmark too:
“pelican riding a bicycle” 🪿🚲 - look at that beak 😄

#opensource | Marouane Khoukh Andrej Karpathy said you could train an #opensource ChatGPT-like model from scratch for under $100. I wanted to see if that actually holds, so I tried the full NanoChat (https://lnkd.in/dTfWtFv2) on Nebius. ⚙️ I spun up an 8×H100 instance on Nebius, cloned karpathy/nanochat, and ran the full pipeline end-to-end. The steps: • Train a tokenizer on FineWeb-EDU (65K vocab) • Pretrain a 560M-parameter Transformer to predict the next token • Mid-train on conversational and reasoning data (SmolTalk, MMLU, GSM8K) • Supervised Finetuning — aligning it to chat format The results: ⏱️ The whole thing took a bit more than three hours. 💰 Cost: around $80 on Nebius . 📉 Validation bpb ≈ 0.81 📊 CORE ≈ 0.20 ⚡ MFU ≈ 48 % So yes, it really does train a ChatGPT-style model under $100. After the run, I opened the web UI and chatted with my model, and that’s the video below. It’s pretty wild that you can now train, fine-tune, and talk to your own LLM in an afternoon. Curious how the pipeli

You *can* indeed train nanochat (github.com/karpathy/na...) under $100!

Little backstory:
davenielsen.bsky.social and I started Allycat (github.com/The-AI-Alli...) as a demo project at @aialliance.bsky.social . Since then it has been adopted by many and getting contributions from others. This is how open source works.

Tech-stack:
- Web crawl
- Docking for extracting data from downloaded data (HTML / PDF ..etc)
- Index and store in vector database
- llama-index framework
- open source LLMs like (Qwen3, GLM, GPT-OSS, Deepseek) powered by Nebius AI Studio

You will walk away with working code you can build on.

Hah! Another workshop accepted at #QConSF 😃

"Allycat - chat with your website with LLMs"

In this hands-on workshop, I will show how to crawl a website, index data and query it using natural language (not just keywords) with LLMs.
