Qwen 3 offers a case study in how to effectively release a model https://simonwillison.net/2025/Apr/29/qwen-3/
@kathimmel I think it could be, Wikipedia mentions Kandinsky and Mondrian (though I'm not sure if it's reliable on this point)
@kathimmel hey! I wanted to thank you because I looked at your bio and it reminded me of proun, a game I used to play a lot a while ago and completely forgot!
(I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to)

@simon re: the gemini vs chatgpt thing, I've been able to use 2.5 pro and 2.5 flash for a week now (on the free plan, though I have Google One storage). They both give similar results to the o3 query (and return faster). You do have to click "show thinking" to see what it searched.

It's been a couple of years since GPT-4 powered Bing, but with the various Deep Research products and now o3/o4-mini I'm ready to say that AI assisted search-based research actually works now https://simonwillison.net/2025/Apr/21/ai-assisted-search/
@grimalkina would be an instant read for me!

We got our AMD Turin sled booting! And --in classic @oxidecomputer fashion -- we're going to regale with tales of the adventure: join @ahl and me on Monday at 5p Pacific when we will have the engineering team on hand to talk about bringing up Cosmo!

If you want the backstory, check out our earlier tales from the bringup lab:

@grimalkina @ren it's kind of a curse the way you put it... I would not want every brain fart I have to be materialized before I had a chance to reconsider.
