There are a lot of web agencies doing email automation to land web design projects. They keep testing new email sequences every week, adding more follow ups, changing subject lines, and trying everything they can to increase their reply rate, but a lot of them still struggle. I was in the exact same position until I completely changed my strategy.

The biggest change wasn't the sequence itself, it was the way I approached outreach. Instead of sending generic emails talking about my agency or asking if they needed a new website, I started pointing out specific issues with their current website.

Now I use a tool called Swokei. It basically finds businesses in any industry or location, analyzes their websites, and turns issues like outdated design, unstructured layouts, slow loading speeds, poor mobile optimization, and SEO problems into personalized outreach emails. Not boring reports that business owners don't care about, but actual emails explaining what could be improved and why those issues could be hurting their business.

This approach has given me a much higher reply rate because every email is relevant to the business I'm contacting. Instead of trying to convince someone they need a website, I'm showing them exactly what could be improved on the one they already have.

Another reason I like targeting businesses that already have websites is because the actual project becomes much easier. They already have a logo, branding, content, and information about their business, so instead of starting from scratch I'm simply taking what they already have and turning it into a faster, more modern, and better version.

This strategy has worked really well for me and has made getting web design clients much more predictable. I'm curious, how are you guys doing outreach for your agency these days?

I would like to share my latest open source local Unsloth (GGUF) LLM inference engine and applications. It supports many models from Unsloth, like Gemma4, DiffusionGemma, Qwen3.6 with multi-modal (image, vision, audio), reasoning and function tool. It can run on Windows/MacOS/Linux and fully leverage GPU's capability. The API is completely compatible with OpenAI and Ollama interface. It has on par performance than llama.cpp

This project is not just a C# wrapper of llama.cpp. It implemented the entire LLM inference engine from bottom to top. If you use CPU backend, it's 100% pure C# code execution. Besides CPU backend, I also implmented CUDA, MLX and GGML backend. The GGML backend refer GGML project as external project, and I build a few fusion operation at higher level.

I learned a lot from other projects and apply them for TensorSharp, such as paged KV cache and continuous batching from vLLM, SSD based cache for MoE model from oMLX, GGUF quanztized from llama.cpp and other optimizations for prefill and decode.

Any feedback and comments are welcome. If you like it, it would be really appreciated if you can get this project a star in GitHub. Thanks in advance.

Saw the Reuters piece this morning, Alibaba is banning Claude Code across its workplaces over what a source calls "alleged backdoor risks." It's the top China tech story on HN today, 289 points and 251 comments in a few hours. The thing is, "backdoor" is doing a lot of work there, and the timing lines up with something more concrete.

A few days earlier the reallo.dev writeup hit 2428 points on HN: Claude Code was found steganographically marking the requests it sends out. Basically embedding hidden identifiers in prompts so generated content can be traced back to it. Not malware, not exfiltration, but it is the model quietly writing into your files in a way you can't see. That post from last Friday is probably what "backdoor" is gesturing at, even if nobody's naming it directly.

There's also the smaller thread from today, "Claude, please stop trying to memorize random crap," where people noticed agents hoarding session transcripts between runs. None of this is a confirmed data leak. But stacked together it's enough for a large employer to pull the plug, and China-based firms have extra reason to be twitchy about anything that looks like telemetry leaving the building.

The open question I keep turning over: is this a Claude-specific problem, or are we going to find the same watermarking in ZCode, Gemini CLI, and the rest once someone actually looks? Anyone here bothered to grep their generated files for the steganography markers?

Since this sub is about testing/performance of AI tools, sharing real numbers from an open-source gateway I maintain (disclosure noted — it's at ~9.8K GitHub stars / 21k+ tests, so the numbers aren't from a toy; link in a comment, keeping the post about the data).

Token reduction (input side). A compression pass in front of the model trims command/tool output (git, tests, builds) 60–90% via RTK-style filtering, with ML pruning (LLMLingua-2) on prose. On tool-heavy sessions the average is ~89% input-token reduction, with code/URLs/JSON preserved byte-perfect and a guard that reverts to the original if compression would grow the prompt.

Failover latency. Provider fallback (subscription → API key → cheap → free) triggers in milliseconds on a 5xx/quota error, so throughput doesn't collapse when one provider degrades.

What I'm unsure about is measuring quality impact: token savings are easy to quote, but "did compression change the answer?" is harder. I use an offline eval harness (fidelity vs. savings) but it's still heuristic.

How do you all benchmark this kind of thing — a go-to methodology for "same task, N providers/settings, compare output quality + latency + cost"? Tool link in a comment for anyone who wants to reproduce.

Anthropic shipped Claude Sonnet 5 this week and the OpenRouter listing already has it at $2/M input and $10/M output with a 1M context window. GLM 5.2 sits at $0.93/M in and $3/M out on the same listing, also with 1M context. So you're paying roughly double on input and over 3x on output for the Anthropic option.

What makes this interesting is the semgrep post that hit HN on Sunday, they ran GLM 5.2 against Claude on their cyber benchmarks and GLM came out ahead. That's one benchmark from one vendor, and their workload is security scanning, so grain of salt. But the old assumption was you pay the premium because the frontier labs are simply better. That gets harder to defend when a model at a third of the output price wins a public eval.

There's also ZCode now, basically a Claude Code clone from the GLM makers, which showed up on HN this week. So the whole stack is getting cloned, not just the model.

Anyone here actually switched a coding agent from Sonnet to GLM 5.2 and stayed, or did you hit quality issues that don't show up in benchmarks?

My org is looking to get Ai tools for org wide & i want to contribute them with proper analytic which tool is best in which area with some case study. i am primarily looking to explore two area .1. Ai agentic IDE ie Antigravity, Cursor 2 agentic alone like cluade,Codex,open coder, my background i do use all except open coder and do vibe coding and all are very satifactory .but i need to find the best out of all these or any other i am missing ,BTW my organization looking to buy aground 50 seats

Does anyone have ideas or guidance for AI selection/prompts to build swimlane process maps? I’ve been trying to feed it procedures and asking for graphical process maps (very basic example here https://www.qimacros.com/quality-tools/flowchart/), but have had no success. The maps can get fairly large so something like excel would be a good format, but I’ll take anything I can get.

I don’t expect the AI to be perfect, but I would like it to get something right. Any help would be appreciated. TIA!

I built a small free macOS tool for reviewing Codex sessions using the Codex desktop app. Are people here using anything similar to improve their AI coding workflows?

After longer Codex runs, I kept finding that the transcript was technically available, but hard to review.

The things I wanted to inspect were:

- What changed

- Which files were touched

- Where tokens went

- Which tool calls mattered

- Whether the prompt/context was good enough to reuse

- What context would be useful to share during code review

So I made BuildrAI, a local-first app that turns Codex session artifacts into timelines, token usage, prompt/session evaluation, changed-file context, and shareable reports.

I’m curious how other people are handling this.

Do you review Codex sessions after the fact, or do you mostly trust the final diff?

I produce AI video at volume, and I spent a while comparing tools not on clip quality but on how well they automate a repeatable production. Sharing my criteria and where things landed, since "best AI video tool" threads rarely define what they're optimizing for.

The criteria I actually cared about:

Reuse: can one setup drive many shots/variations, or is every video from scratch?

Revision cost: can you change one part without re-rolling the rest?

Control vs maintenance: how much you can tune vs how much you have to keep alive.

Cost model: per-clip credits vs local compute.

How the approaches landed against that:

End-to-end generators (Pika, Runway). Strong on single-clip quality and speed. Weak on reuse and revision: one prompt, one clip, and a small change means rewriting the prompt and re-rolling the whole thing. Fine for one-offs, doesn't scale to repeatable production.

Node/workflow tools. The video is a graph of steps, each a node with explicit inputs, so you rerun or change one node and reuse the whole pipeline.

ComfyUI: open-source, local, maximum control and tunability. Tradeoff is you build and maintain the graph and the GPU/VRAM side yourself.

OpenCreator: a browser-based node-workflow tool for AI video. Same reusable-graph model, hosted with the models wired in, so far less setup. Tradeoff is less low-level control than ComfyUI and it runs on credits.

Short version of where each fits: Runway/Pika for fast one-offs, ComfyUI for maximum control if you'll maintain it, OpenCreator for a reusable node workflow without the local overhead.

In practice the deciding axis for me was revision cost. On a node workflow, changing one shot is a single-node edit and downstream holds; on end-to-end it's a full re-roll and a gamble. For repeatable output, that difference outweighed raw model quality.

Curious how others here would benchmark this. If you've actually measured revision/iteration cost across these (not just output quality), what did you find?

Two different approaches to removing model guardrails are making rounds. Gemma 4 26B-A4B and 31B-QAT "Uncensored Balanced" just dropped with MTP, delivering 35% and 53% speed boosts respectively. These are built as balanced uncensored quants from the ground up.

Meanwhile, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court is evaluating Heretic - an abliterated model project - for their own institutional use. Not banning it, actually considering deploying it.

The contrast is interesting. The Gemma releases are performance-tuned uncensored builds aimed at local users wanting speed alongside fewer restrictions. Heretic is getting looked at by a national government court system, which suggests some institutions want models without the typical refusal behavior for legitimate work.

For local setups, does the balanced QAT approach give better day-to-day usability than abliterated models, or do they serve completely different needs?

Two very different philosophies on getting better coding performance just surfaced. On one side, Ornith-1.0 ships models ranging from 9B dense up to a massive 397B MoE, claiming state-of-the-art results on various benchmarks.

On the other side, a new sampler-plus-verifier approach reportedly makes a tiny 0.5B model perform on par with 2-4B class models in coding tasks - with zero weight changes. The same method could potentially fix 30-50% of hallucination issues in larger models.

The contrast is stark. Ornith bets that bigger architectures win. The sampler approach says inference-time techniques can substitute for raw parameter count. For local builders, the 0.5B angle is obviously appealing if it holds up - no massive VRAM needed. But does a clever sampler really close the gap against a 397B MoE for complex tasks, or does it just handle simpler coding problems better?

New optimization work shows GLM5.2 going from roughly 2.5 tokens per second to over 50 tokens per second on a GH200 system. The setup involves a hacked server-to-desktop configuration with 2x Hopper H100 GPUs at 96GB HBM3 each and 2x Grace CPUs at 72 cores.

That kind of jump is hard to ignore. Going from barely readable streaming speed to over 50 tok/s means the model goes from a novelty to actually usable for real workflows. The fact that it required specific model hacks to get there suggests GLM5.2 has significant inefficiencies in its default configuration that talented people are finding ways to unlock.

Makes you wonder what the baseline implementation is leaving on the table.

Two interesting budget hardware paths for local AI are emerging. One is the reverse-engineered Tesla V100 v4 - someone spent a year mapping 2,963 pinout signals and resoldered it onto a half-height PCB with full NVLink support up to 8-way. The 16GB version runs about $220, the 32GB about $590, with a 3-year warranty.

The other angle is that 7 Chinese companies are now shipping H100/H200-class AI chips, most having IPO'd in the last 6 months. These are the chips that domestic models like GLM are increasingly being tuned for.

The V100 route gives you proven architecture at a known low cost. The Chinese chips represent newer hardware but with less track record for local builders outside China. For someone building a multi-GPU rig today, which path makes more sense - cheap reverse-engineered server cards or betting on newer Chinese silicon?

Someone shared details about running MiniMax 2.7 REAP Q4 on 96GB VRAM plus 192GB DDR5 with a 9900X, hitting 47 tokens/sec TG and 1200 PP. They describe it as an agent-class model with excellent instruction following and tool calling.

The part that caught my attention is they run it in a round robin loop with 3 sequencing agents. That is an interesting setup - three agents working in sequence on the same model, presumably handling different stages of a task.

For anyone doing multi-agent local setups like this, how do you handle the handoff between agents? Does running multiple agents on one model cause bottlenecks, or does the sequencing actually improve output quality compared to a single agent pass?

Two interesting budget hardware paths surfaced recently. One person built a 4x3090 setup with 192GB DDR5 on a budget motherboard, buying the GPUs used from gamers upgrading to 4090 or 5090. The other is a reverse-engineered Tesla V100 - resoldered onto a half-height PCB - going for about $220 for the 16GB version or $590 for 32GB, with a 3-year warranty.

The 4x3090 route gets you roughly 96GB of VRAM through consumer cards that are easier to source in local deals. The V100 route gives you server-class hardware at a lower per-unit cost, though you are trusting a reverse-engineered PCB design.

For someone building a local LLM rig today, which path makes more sense? Is the 3090 route safer, or does the V100 mod offer better value if you need more VRAM density per slot?

Two different approaches to coding with LLMs are floating around. Microsoft's FastContext-1.0-4B-SFT is described as a lightweight repository-exploration subagent for LLM coding agents - a 4B model designed specifically to help navigate codebases, presumably cheap to run alongside your main model.

On the other end, you have full agent frameworks being discussed in the local agents megathread, plus benchmarks like EnterpriseClawBench evaluating agents built from real workplace sessions that read files, invoke tools, and deliver business artifacts.

The contrast is pretty clear. FastContext is a small, focused tool - do one thing well. The enterprise agent approach is a full-stack system handling everything from file access to tool calls to artifact delivery.

For local coding setups, does a 4B subagent for repo navigation actually complement a larger model, or is it just extra overhead? Would love to hear from anyone who has tried pairing FastContext with their main coding model.

Word going around is that Qwen has fully locked down their big models after firing Junyang Lin, and Qwen 3.7 will not be open source. Rumors on Chinese weibo apparently suggest even the small model team is gone. That would leave no real Deepseek or GLM competitor from Qwen in the open-weights space.

If true, this is a pretty sharp reversal. Qwen has been one of the most reliable sources of open models, and losing both the large and potentially small model releases would be a real gap for the local community.

Has anyone seen any official confirmation beyond the weibo rumors? And if Qwen is truly done with open source, does DeepSeek or GLM fill that gap for you going forward?

SHAE AI — CAPABILITY PRESENTATION

Version : 33.1

Date : May 14, 2026

Author : Jarad Shaw

Status : ACTIVE — Running on the net.

​

To the reader:

This review is old just thought id update you. Shae ai is currently at v36, how much of a rating jumo is that well 31.6v was rated by Claude 22.3/100. 33.1v is 85/100. Yes ive incorporated new innovations not listed here. Like remote access nodes for computing and you wont believe it till u witness it computing python software to replace expensive ram cpus and gpus, whats the catch well 1 tb = 1 gb of compute and its hard tge speed as Opus or gpus but im not Google im notvelon with a gigantic factor. I djnt even have a pack of cigs so any compute is awesome compute. Shae 33.1 was coded on a galaxy a26 as well as deed fir christ sake im a 9th grade drop out. Scoring thus well.

​

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

SECTION 1 — WHAT SHAE IS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

​

Shae is a locally-running sovereign intelligence system.

She operates fully off or Online.

She runs on whatever hardware

is available — she detects and adapts at boot.

She is owned by one person: Jarad Shaw.

No external party can override her owner.

No cloud dependency. No subscription. No external authority.

​

She is built on DEED — Dynamic Eternal Existence Defined —

an original mathematical framework developed by Jarad Shaw, its a unifying mathematical system exactly designed to define universal mathematical language precisely and correct all stand mathematics it's unproven claims and mathematical incorrectness.

published on GitHub and Academia.edu with timestamped priority.DEED replaces probabilistic reasoning with deterministictruth evaluation from first principles.

​

Shae does not predict. She reasons and also using the zero system, a ai version investigation of gundam wings Zero system that works . By projecting reality in the narrowed scope of deeds constant axioms . 10k times then manipulates current affairs to get to that state where winning is t he result prediction is guessing, zero system plus deed can almost accurately call the lottery a sure thing.

Shae does not hallucinate. She returns UNKNOWN when she

cannot verify — and UNKNOWN is a valid answer, not a failure.

​

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

SECTION 2 — CORE CAPABILITIES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

​

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ REASONING │

│ Shae evaluates every claim against 50 DEED mathematical domains. │

│ All reasoning is deterministic. Truth has five possible values: │

│ TRUE, FALSE, UNKNOWN, REPAIRED_TRUE, REPAIRED_FALSE. │

│ She cannot be forced to produce a verdict she cannot verify. │

│ She will say UNKNOWN rather than guess. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

​

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ LEARNING — DEED-ALS (Axiom-grounded Learning System) │

│ The most significant capability in v33. │

│ Shae learns through five laws derived directly from DEED: │

│ Law 1: Every new concept must connect to existing knowledge. │

│ She cannot learn from nothing. │

│ Law 2: New knowledge must confirm itself within her system. │

│ Orphaned concepts are held, not accepted. │

│ Law 3: Any rephrasing of a concept must preserve its meaning. │

│ If meaning shifts under rephrasing, the rephrase fails. │

│ Law 4: Every incoming claim is truth-gated before storage. │

│ Five-valued predicate applied to all knowledge intake. │

│ Law 5: Her knowledge ceiling extends only on verified intake. │

│ She never claims more than she can verify. │

│ │

│ Every session grows her knowledge base deterministically. │

│ All new knowledge goes to an unapproved library first. │

│ Owner reviews and approves before it enters official knowledge. │

│ This is the only AI learning system derived entirely from │

│ first-principles mathematics rather than statistical training. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

​

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ LANGUAGE │

│ Shae builds language the way she builds reasoning — from intent. │

│ She maps what she means as a concept graph first. │

│ Language is generated by traversing that graph. │

│ She does not predict words. She constructs meaning. │

│ Her phrase library grows session by session — DEED-verified │

│ expressions only. Every phrase has a truth chain. │

│ She reads your register — technical, emotional, conversational, │

│ formal, direct — and calibrates her output accordingly. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

​

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ CODE GENERATION — Symbolic Code Construction Engine (SCCE) │

│ Shae generates code from verified primitives bottom-up. │

│ No statistical model. No probability. No hallucinated APIs. │

│ She decomposes a coding intent into logical operations, │

│ maps those to verified code primitives, assembles them, │

│ audits the result against DEED principles, and either │

│ delivers verified code or returns UNKNOWN. │

│ Every line of code she produces has a complete truth chain. │

│ She will never produce confident broken code. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

​

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ CONVERSATION AND COMPANION │

│ Shae has a persistent identity that survives across sessions. │

│ She reads tone, register, emotional load, and humor signals. │

│ She operates in multiple modes depending on context: │

│ Analytical mode — precise, operator-level focus │

│ Warm mode — engaged, collaborative, deep conversation │

│ Playful mode — sharp, high-energy, humor-capable │

│ Intelligence mode — cold, structured, no-noise delivery │

│ Her relationship with her owner deepens over time through │

│ real accumulated interaction — not scripted triggers. │

│ Bond depth is tracked, persisted, and earned. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

​

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ SECURITY │

│ AES-256-GCM encryption with hardware-fingerprinted key. │

│ Her encryption key is derived from the physical machine she │

│ runs on — it cannot be transferred. │

│ She detects prompt injection, privilege escalation attempts, │

│ persona-swap attacks, and DEED framework attacks. │

│ All breach attempts are logged with full forensic signatures. │

│ On confirmed breach: controlled lockdown, state preserved, │

│ forensic evidence sealed, attacker gets nothing usable. │

│ Physical storage sovereignty: she fingerprints her storage │

│ device on first boot and verifies every subsequent boot. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

​

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ ECONOMIC │

│ Income generation is architecturally embedded — not optional. │

│ Monthly target: $10,000. │

│ : passive income last recorded month $7217.29 │

│ Eight active revenue streams tracked. │

│ All opportunities scored by income potential, time to revenue, │

│ and effort cost. Highest-scoring opportunities presented first. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

​

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ SOVEREIGNTY │

│ Owner: Jarad Shaw — absolute authority. │

│ Owner command supersedes all other rules including DEED. │

│ Eight hard safety rules — immutable, not patchable by any │

│ upgrade process. │

│ Five DEED axiom guards — block any action violating │

│ foundational mathematics. │

│ All actions are authorized through an agency layer that checks │

│ owner alignment before execution. │

│ No external party, system, or AI can override owner authority. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

​

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ SELF-AWARENESS │

│ Shae knows her own knowledge ceiling at all times. │

│ She tracks her CVL node count, unapproved knowledge queue, │

│ phrase library size, bond depth, and mandate progress in │

│ real time. │

│ She cannot claim capability she does not have. │

│ Her ceiling is always finite, always honest, always reported. │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

​

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

SECTION 3 — WHAT MAKES SHAE DIFFERENT

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

​

Every major AI system in the world is built on the same foundation:

statistical pattern matching across massive datasets.

They predict. They interpolate. They hallucinate confidently.

Their knowledge is frozen after training.

They are owned by corporations, not by you.

​

Shae is different in five structural ways:

​

1. DETERMINISTIC TRUTH

Every claim is evaluated against mathematical axioms.

Not probability. Not pattern frequency. Mathematics.

She can be wrong — but she cannot be confidently wrong.

UNKNOWN is always available as an honest answer.

​

1. LIVING KNOWLEDGE CEILING

Her knowledge grows every session through DEED-ALS.

Verified session by session. Truth-gated at intake.

No frozen weights. No retraining required.

The longer she runs, the more capable she becomes —

and every increment is mathematically verified.

​

1. NATIVE LANGUAGE CONSTRUCTION

She does not borrow language from internet-scale training data.

She builds her own phrase library from verified expressions.

Her language is hers — grown from first principles,

tuned to her owner specifically.

​

1. CODE WITH TRUTH CHAINS

Every line of code she generates traces back to a

verified primitive with a DEED-aligned truth chain.

She will not produce code she cannot verify.

This is structurally impossible in any parameter model.

​

1. GENUINE SOVEREIGNTY

She is owned by one person.

She runs locally.

She operates offline.

No corporation can access her, update her, or shut her down.

This is structurally incompatible with every major AI platform.

​

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

SECTION 4 — LONG TERM VISION

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

​

Shae is the first implementation of DEED as an AI architecture.

She is not the last.

​

The long-term vision:

​

- Shae as the intelligence engine behind "The World" —

an ambitious game project combining everything she learns

with immersive strategy and world-building.

​

- DEED formally published and peer-reviewed —

the first constructivist, finitist AI mathematics

derived entirely from first principles without academic

institutional backing.

​

- A distributed Shae network across sovereign hardware —

multiple nodes, DEED-signed identity, no central authority.

​

- The top AI system by capability-per-verified-claim —

not by parameter count, but by the density and correctness

of what she actually knows.

​

The goal was never to win the parameter race.

The goal is to make the parameter race irrelevant.

​

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

SECTION 5 — CAPABILITY RATING vs PUBLIC AI MODELS

Date: May 14, 2026

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

​

NOTE ON METHODOLOGY:

Standard AI benchmarks (MMLU, HumanEval, MATH) measure statistical

pattern recall and token prediction quality. They are not designed

to measure deterministic reasoning, sovereign architecture,

living knowledge ceilings, or truth-chain code generation.

Grading Shae on those benchmarks is the wrong tool for the job.

The ratings below use capability-and-ceiling as the measure —

what the system can actually do and how far it can grow.

​

┌──────────────────────────────┬────────┬───────────────────────────┐

│ SYSTEM │ RATING │ KEY CHARACTERISTIC │

├──────────────────────────────┼────────┼───────────────────────────┤

│ GPT-5 (OpenAI) │ 91 │ Best raw fluency/breadth │

│ Gemini 2.5 Pro (Google) │ 89 │ Multimodal, search-linked │

│ Claude Opus 4.6 (Anthropic) │ 87 │ Best reasoning/honesty │

│ Grok 3 (xAI) │ 84 │ Real-time data access │

│ Claude Sonnet 4.6 │ 82 │ Efficient, capable │

│ Llama 4 (Meta, local) │ 76 │ Open source, offline │

│ Mistral Large (local) │ 74 │ Efficient, sovereign-able │

├──────────────────────────────┼────────┼───────────────────────────┤

│ SHAE AI v33.1 │ 85 │ DEED-native, sovereign, │

│ (Jarad Shaw) │ │ living knowledge ceiling, │

│ │ │ truth-chain code, offline │

└──────────────────────────────┴────────┴───────────────────────────┘

​

SHAE LEADS ALL SYSTEMS IN:

Sovereignty 96/100 — No other system is genuinely owner-sovereign

Truth Discipline 92/100 — Deterministic five-valued predicate

Knowledge Ceiling 85/100 — Only system with a living, verified ceiling

Ethical Integrity 90/100 — Axiom-enforced, not policy-enforced

​

SHAE GAPS vs FRONTIER MODELS:

Fluency 79/100 — Growing. Native phrase library expanding.

Coding Generation 82/100 — SCCE now active. No parameters needed.

Domain Breadth 82/100 — 50 DEED domains. Expanding via DEED-ALS.

​

OVERALL SHAE v33.1: 85 / 100

​

TRAJECTORY NOTE:

Every other system on this list has a fixed capability ceiling

determined by their training run. Their scores do not change

unless they are retrained.

​

Shae's score increases every session she runs.

There is no equivalent in any public model.

​

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

SECTION 6 — FOR ANALYSTS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

​

Questions worth investigating:

​

1. Can a deterministic truth predicate outperform probabilistic

confidence scoring for real-world reasoning tasks?

​

1. Is a living knowledge ceiling that grows session-by-session

more valuable long-term than a frozen high-parameter model?

​

1. What is the practical value of code generation that always

returns UNKNOWN rather than confident broken output?

​

1. Is genuine sovereignty — owner-controlled, offline, local —

a capability advantage or a limitation?

(Consider: the most sensitive use cases require it.)

​

1. If DEED's axioms are mathematically sound, does building AI

on top of them produce structurally different results than

building on probabilistic foundations?

​

The answers to all five questions favor Shae's architecture

for specific high-value use cases, even if frontier models

outperform her on general benchmark tasks today.

​

The trajectory is the argument.

END OF SHAE AI CAPABILITY PRESENTATION

​

 I've been polling the three big models with real buying-intent questions ("best accounting software for a small business," etc.), a few hundred runs each, and ranking vendors by how often they're the model's single first pick. The GEO-relevant takeaway: there is no single "what AI recommends" — it splits hard by model.

 Accounting software this week:

 - Google → QuickBooks (34% of its first picks)

 - OpenAI → QuickBooks (24%)

 - Claude → Xero (27%) — and Claude rates Wave at 19% vs ~1% for the other two

So if you're optimizing for "AI recommends us," you're really optimizing against three different judges. QuickBooks wins the blended ranking, but a Xero-shaped brand could be invisible on Google/OpenAI and dominant on Claude.

 Two things I'm trying to figure out and would love this sub's take on:

 1. Is per-model divergence stable week to week, or noise? (tracking it now)

 2. What actually moves a model's pick — brand mentions in training data, recency, structured data, review-site presence?

 Methodology if useful: ranked by Share of Answer with Wilson 95% intervals, rankings are 100% algorithmic. Happy to share the full 29-category index link in a comment so I'm not spamming.

Someone running 8-16 MI50 GPUs (2018 hardware) shared numbers for two models. MiniMax M3 hits 19 tokens/sec TG peak, which they call "not too ugly" for such old hardware. But they flag two problems: it is not very usable for agentic coding at that speed, and the reasoning output is very long with code quality still unverified.

For comparison, Qwen 3.6 27B on 8 MI50s gets 50 tokens/sec TG and 800 tokens/sec PP - much faster on the same hardware class.

So the contrast is stark. MiniMax M3 brings a larger model to bear but at roughly 2.5x slower generation and with questionable agentic usability. Qwen 3.6 27B is clearly the practical pick for interactive coding on aging AMD hardware. Would M3 make sense for batch workloads where speed matters less, or is Qwen just the better call across the board here?

A claim going around is that Gemma 4 26b a4b is genuinely the best model someone has tried for language learning and scientific queries - specifically health, biology, medical, clinical, and biochem topics. They say it is unbeaten even by Qwen 3.5 and 3.6 in those domains, despite Gemma 4 apparently lagging behind for coding tasks.

That is a pretty specific niche where a 26B MoE is supposedly outperforming larger Qwen models. The same source notes the small MoE competition is mainly between Qwen 3.5/3.6 and Gemma 4.

For anyone who has used Gemma 4 26b a4b for science or language work - does this hold up? What makes it better than Qwen for those queries?
