Be wary of Qwen/Claude distillations - they're often worse than the base model

Be wary of Qwen/Claude distillations - they're often worse than the base model. Just to be clear; I am not attempting to call anybody out or be mean to those who take the time/money to make these models, I just want to inform people about these distills/finetunes since there's clearly some confusion going on. I'm going to assume those of us who often visit this subreddit have noticed these models, particularly the "Qwopus" model and the such, though I'm sure there's probably Gemma 4/Claude distills too. As I type this, there's currently a Qwen 3.6 based Claude Fable 5 distillation model on the frontpage. Seems pretty cool, right? Yep. Up until you actually look into how these models were.

How do Karpathy and other AI power users avoid turning their codebases into AI slop?

How do Karpathy and other AI power users avoid turning their codebases into AI slop?. I do all of my development work using Claude code. The problem is that I run Claude code in auto mode, and I don’t have time to review every single code change. As I keep adding code, the feature starts to drift and eventually turns into slop. How do AI experts avoid this issue? People like Andrew Karpathy and the founder of Claude Code claim that they let agents run in loops, but I don’t understand how they avoid this problem. Please don’t give me vague advice like “set up guardrails,” “use hooks,” or “write better specs.” I already do all of that. I use OpenSpec to create my specs, and I spend at least an ho.

🤖 I absolutely love AI.

🤖 I absolutely love AI. Just look at this incredible transformation of a favourite photo of my late mum ❤️❤️ Want to try it yourself? It couldn’t be easier. 1️⃣ Download the latest ChatGPT app 2️⃣ Start a new chat 3️⃣ Upload an old photo 4️⃣ Copy and paste this prompt: “Restore this image, colourise it, enhance the details, upscale it to 4K quality, and remove any borders or damage while preserving the original look and character of the photograph.” The results are genuinely amazing. You’ll thank me later 🙏 Enjoy 🥰. Community angle: discussion is centered on infrastructure costs

Evalatro: an open benchmark where LLMs play the real Balatro

Evalatro: an open benchmark where LLMs play the real Balatro. Hey! I made Evalatro - an open benchmark where your LLMs play actual Balatro. Real game. It started because I kept asking Claude to help me beat levels while playing (yeah, I'm too weak). I'd just throw screenshots at it and ask for tactics. Then the idea grew into something bigger and I decided to dig a little deeper. Dug in... First I wanted to build an MCP through mods, turns out something already exists - balatrobot (respect to the author). And so it began. The model connects to the game and on each turn gets the state as a text structure, not a picture, and decides what to play on its own. No tactical hin.

Subquadratic AI introduces SubQ-1.1-Small, a new model using Smart Sparse Attention

Subquadratic AI introduces SubQ-1.1-Small, a new model using Smart Sparse Attention. : \- Near-perfect long-context retrieval up to 12M tokens on the needle-in-a-haystack test, with up to nearly 1,000x attention compute reduction. \- A balance of long-context optimization and general reasoning ability, with strong performance retained across knowledge, coding, and non-coding enterprise agent benchmarks. \- At 1M tokens, SubQ 1.1 Small requires 64.5x less compute than dense attention and runs 56x faster than FlashAttention-2. (Independently verified). Community angle: discussion is centered on benchmark quality and cost and pricing

Scaling former VibeThinker-1.5B to 3B — now it reaches frontier math & coding performance

Scaling former VibeThinker-1.5B to 3B — now it reaches frontier math & coding performance. 1. We trained VibeThinker-3B to test how far verifiable reasoning can be pushed in a strict small-model regime. 2. It gets 94.3 on AIME'26, 80.2 on LiveCodeBench v6, 76.4 on IMO-AnswerBench, and 93.4 on IFEval. 3. On recent unseen LeetCode weekly/biweekly contests, it passes 123/128 first-attempt Python submissions, or 96.1% overall. 4. Small models are not just cheaper substitutes. In parameter-dense domains with clear verification signals, SLMs offer a path to frontier-level reasoning that complements traditional Scaling Law. Though it still has limitations in broader practical and general-purpose use cases,. Community angle: discussion is centered on skepticism about hype
