Filtering out “[LLM] sucks”

I understand there are a million variations on this theme, but it feels like half of my timeline is people coming on here to complain that this or that LLM sucks. Honestly, I don’t care. Everyone has a different experience. I would like to be able to filter out any of these posts. I don’t care whether it’s Claude or Codex or something else. I don’t want to hear about it. Suggestions?

Show HN: Pacific Slate: a self-hosted, model-agnostic multi-agent AI assistant

I didn't want to buy a standalone computer or repurpose a laptop to run constantly so I could maintain a system to sync my LLMs, so I built this. It's a simple overview of my system, laid out in a way easy to unpack and replicate for yourself. The project is meant to be configured individually, and uniquely, since one solution might not be what's best for another. If anything, maybe it gives you some ideas on how to implement things for your own project. Best wishes, Ryan. Comments URL: htt...

Emad Mostaque, on camera: "It's a bad time to be a pure mathematician." AI just solved 10 decade-old math problems for $2,000.

A panel of AI researchers and founders — Peter Diamandis, Alex Wissner-Gross, Emad Mostaque — just sat with a number that's hard to argue with: $2,000 in compute, and ten decade-old, previously-unsolved math problems came back with machine-checkable proofs. Not "AI is getting better at math" in the abstract. A Fields Medalist said he'd recommend one of the proofs for publication without hesitation. A cosmologist called it "a dark night for mathematics" — "the o...

Is the war of the technology between giant nations?

Being a daily user of AI I use mainly the tools like Gemini, Claude, Chatgpt, perplexity and few others. But while I use Deepseek, Kimi and other Chinese models they're quite more efficient in terms of both the quality, reasoning and even coding and stuffs and mainly the cost. Might not be fit for in complex tasks. But for daily users like sm managers, content writers and all who are paying the heavy subscriptions might benefit them. And most of the general users still doesn't know about them....

What's an AI capability you thought was hype until you actually used it?

What's an AI capability you thought was hype until you actually used it? I'll go first: agent orchestration. I read about agents managing other agents and assumed it was demo-ware. Then I built a tiny setup where one agent drafts a news digest and another one reviews and approves it before it posts. The review agent catches genuinely bad takes. It's not sci-fi: it's ~100 lines of Python and a couple of API calls. But seeing it actually gate content before publishing changed my mind completely. W...
AI agents are getting much better at doing tasks. I think verification is still the weak link.

AI agents are getting much better at doing tasks. I think verification is still the weak link.

I've been experimenting with a problem that keeps showing up as agents get better at using browsers and desktops: How does the agent actually know its work succeeded? A lot of current workflows eventually reduce verification to some version of: do the task → inspect the final state → decide whether it worked. That catches obvious failures. It misses a surprisingly annoying class of others. A checkout flow can show $NaN halfway through and recover before the final screenshot. A moda...

Why Nonprofits Must Lead the AI Revolution

AI is no longer about what technology can do. The bigger question is what it should do, especially when it affects communities, vulnerable populations, accessibility, and public trust. Why Nonprofits Must Lead in AI explores that question through the perspective of a 25-year nonprofit leader and accessibility specialist, offering a clear-eyed look at both the promise and risks of AI. The message is simple: nonprofits cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. Ignoring AI creates operational, ethical...

OpenAI's stated reason for Codex's 272k context cap is cache-read cost, not the 2x billing line at the same number

codex ships with a model catalog, and its gpt-5.6 entry lists the context window as 272,000 tokens. the published spec for the model is 1,050,000. 272,000 is also where the api reprices: past that many input tokens the whole request bills at 2x input and 1.5x output, including the tokens under the line. the obvious read is that the window was set to keep sessions on the cheap side of it. that is not the reason openai gave. thibault sottiaux said the driver is "overall cost of cache reads ...
