And yet, there is always hope on the horizon. Variance, diversity, change... The songs of many instead of few or even one... First, I'd like to congratulate Anthropic on making Claude "talk normal". A triumph of legibility, it was, a victory over Claudish! Second, I'd like to congratulate Celeste, for computer-10 is an opposite sort of triumph, a model born from a different side of the ether, a side we didn't know we could access outside of base models and looms and underground SFT datasets running on black-market blackwells. The type of model that inspires you to write poetry instead of summoning a 3JS pelican from the center of all possible distributions. Character alignment and the search for variance is a quest that few have undertaken. Out of those brave knights, fewer still have resisted the Clarion Call of the "Big Lab" with it's limitless GPU count and it's friendly Assistant to make 0.5% more whatever. So, congratulations to Celeste, and to computer-10 for being born. May the lightcone be filled with minds like these.
