alt Hacker NewsWhile I mostly agree with your post, I do want to point out one thing:
> Or he could release a model trained largely by existing open weights models. Which without some huge breakthrough probably has no chance of surpassing them, so is pointless.
This seems to be categorically untrue. Composer 2.5 is a substantial improvement on its underlying Kimi base model.
If that is backed up by benchmarks then maybe they should imitate whatever Cursor did. What did they do?
They may eventually have to do that. Or they might be starting with an existing Llama model. Maybe I should have said "huge breakthrough or additional dataset".
