warning: total manufacturing newbie here

But i would like to ask.

How much effort/legal/heartache is involved in building an after market add-on for commercial vehicles?

Some comforting assumptions - internal customers. no sales. - good software talent. can work around anything. - almost no moving parts - mostly electronics - can accept cost overrun on the components - each unit is >$10K - gradual scaling to 1000s units/annum - daily return to hubs if needed

Not legal advice: If you don’t change steering or brakes then virtually no compliance is required. You are of course liable if your widget causes an accident.

> VibeThinker 3B constitutes extraordinary evidence.. math and logical reasoning

Any similar model aimed at coding?

A >10B model for mass spawning/swarming and reporting back to a larger model

To some extent VT 3B is intended as a coding model (see https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1u7dzdr/scaling... ). It reportedly does well on leetcode-type problems, although I didn't check that myself.

I wouldn't use it for anything important without heavy supervision, as it's very weak outside its specialty. Not ideal for instruction-following tasks.

>my experience (as a commercial lawyer)

How do you think the industry will respond to contract clause slop ??

I can foresee each side inserting 100s of innocent clauses with minute dependencies that provide hidden advanatges

Good question - but the state of commercial contracts (pre-AI slop) is horrifically dysfunctional, inefficient, poorly thought through and inaccessible to the average person, so the bar is quite low. I think there will be some new malicious behaviours like that to keep an eye out for but I haven't seen them in practice (yet).

Which harness for the benchmark ?

You have previously commented on using OC/GLM. R u going to stock with it?

pi, with a plugin to do web search / web fetch.

For personal use - probably yes, z.ai + kimi + opencode go subscriptions, with some share of local models now. For work - claude code, codex.

Were your opinions effected by the harness ?

DS is an amazing combo. It probably could only happen in China, not in current USA or EU (for different reasons)

Per Artificial Analysis benchmarks, Meta's Muse Glimmer 30b (open weight) holds its own (for agentic code workloads) against models 5x to 10x its size, too.

Glimmer benchmarks around Qwen 3.6 27B levels no?

and Muse Glimmer uses a lot fewer tokens than Qwen 3.8. I found it more usable on my hardware because I can get an answer quicker.

I found Glimmer underwhelming in terms of coding - I tried it as a drop-in replacement for 3.6, and the output was noticeably worse. 3.8 has been a significant step up so far from early testing.

I am getting into cyclone predictions (for maritime scheduling)

Is there a basic/freemium resource for past events? Mostly just very coarse spatial/temporal maps of past events

Do you actually understand why evolution methods are beneficial?

SGD generates a stronger learning signal,is more efficient, and scales better. Using it end-to-end makes it stronger yet.

Yet somehow mixing in a weaker blunt evolution stage improves the result?

this is nice

can the browser connect to a server to offload heavier calculations?

Yeah agree. Really considering taking the project this direction

Ideally, the solver doesn't just run on the backend, it's also orchestrated to run a pod per solver, with scale to zero.

Standard LFP cells - with higher QA and optimized for safety over performance

The pack/container is (over?) designed for fire suppression and humidity control

CATL and also CALB have specific marine-grade product lines

At sea - even at full power - the packs discharge relatively slow

Congratulations on six zeros.
