It is the same stuff as “Google’s botched AI” but now partially open-sourced and slightly more efficient, the latter being the reason why it “upended the entire industry”.
These reductions in costs must be exciting to investors (you know, the 60 year old dipshits from the original comment you replied to) but they do not substantiate your claim that “this tech is legit and currently improving at an alarming rate” or any other beautiful epithet you used. LLMs remain hallucinating state machines with a probability attached to any word they spit out, and marginal efficiency improvements don’t make them any more exciting to the end user.
