LLM architecture comparison

It has been seven years since the original GPT architecture was developed. At first glance, looking back at GPT-2 (2019) and forward to DeepSeek-V3 and Llama 4 (2024-2025), one might be surprised at how structurally similar these models still are. Sure, positional embeddings have evolved from absolute to rotational (RoPE), Multi-Head Attention has largely given way to Grouped-Query Attention, and the more efficient SwiGLU has replaced activation functions like GELU.

This Is the Commodore Comeback Fans Have Waited for—but the Odds Are Still Against It

wired.com Craig Grannell 2025-07-20 15:00:00

In 1994, Commodore crashed and burned. Once a home computing giant across the US and Europe, the company was undone by mismanagement and misfires. The carcass was picked clean and the pieces resold so many times that it was hard to keep track, but with each new owner came the inevitable—an attempt to make a fast buck by slapping the famous C= logo on any old junk. Fans watched in horror as the brand appeared on the mediocre Web.it all-in-one PC, the bizarrely named Gravel in Pocket media player

Rethinking CLI interfaces for AI

We need to augment our command line tools and design APIs so they can be better used by LLM Agents. The designs are inadequate for LLMs as they are now – especially if you're constrained by the tiny context windows available with local models.

Corning avoids EU antitrust fine by ending exclusive deals with phone manufacturers

Corning, the US-based glass manufacturer behind Gorilla Glass, has vowed to end its exclusive deals and other practices that the European Commission deemed to be anti-competitive in order to avoid getting fined. If you'll recall, the commission announced that it was investigating Corning last year, accusing it of squashing competition with its exclusive supply agreements, thereby driving up prices and stifling innovation.

The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-21 07:15:07

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right. A group of (mostly) drunk friends drive on a dark road, run into a person, and then, while he may or may not be still alive, throw his body into the ocean. Yeah, if I was hit by a bunch of drunk kids and left for dead, I’d fe
