alt Hacker NewsGreat benchmarks, qwen is a highly capable open model, especially their visual series, so this is great.
Interesting rabbit hole for me - its AI report mentions Fennec (Sonnet 5) releasing Feb 4 -- I was like "No, I don't think so", then I did a lot of googling and learned that this is a common misperception amongst AI-driven news tools. Looks like there was a leak, rumors, a planned(?) launch date, and .. it all adds up to a confident launch summary.
What's interesting about this is I'd missed all the rumors, so we had a sort of useful hallucination. Notable.
Yeah, I opened their page, got an instantly downloaded PDF file (creepy!) and it's talking about Sonnet 5 — wtf!?
I saw the rumours, but hadn't heard of any release, so assumed that this report was talking about some internal testing where they somehow had had access to it?
Bizarre
