alt Hacker NewsGenuine question: can these posts be paid to hype the open source models? If yes, what would be the purpose?
On my work tasks, FastAPI Python and Springboot Java on a modern SaaS product, the only open model that can do tasks well and efficiently is Qwen3.7-Max.
In all my experiments, both GLM-5.2 and Kimi are busy grepping around the codebase for ALMOST 70-80K tokens before writing anything and when they do it typically breaks the code… it feels to me that these models are good but only when you write out a super detailed spec of the task just like it was done a year ago… Qwen3.7 just… does it

Fireworks is an inference provider that specializes in running open source models very fast and makes almost all of their margin on chinese models
So the economic incentive is literally their entire business model lol
Have you tested Qwen3.8-Max yet?
Lots of money in tech influencing - but most is from the big players (OpenAI buying tbpn, early access to select influencers etc).
Paid?

LLMs are the Space Race of the US-China cold war. Money is a very small thing; the incentive is proving ethnoracial and civilizational supremacy.
It's (good) content marketing. They sell access to Kimi K3. They're one of the biggest model inference providers out there.
