| 1 | AI for good | [Image: AI for good] I created this AI-generated spec ad for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 🎗️ Here’s hoping AI can do more than reshape business and entertainment, and help medical researchers take on problems like this. | 2026-09-20 17:13 GMT+8 | | /u/buraktuyan | Community reaction (argon/gpt-5.6-luna): Commenters generally support the post’s hope that AI can contribute to cancer research, citing a personal report that AI helped identify new chemotherapy targets and arguing that progress may come faster in deterministic fields such as math and coding with shorter feedback loops. One commenter predicts major medical advances within five years but cautions that politics and red tape could impede them, while another found the ad extremely depressing without sound, making the practical takeaway supportive optimism tempered by uncertainty about both deployment and presentation. Overall sentiment — post: positive; author: positive.

The discussion also clarified that the project was made by a 13-year-old in Sweden rather than an American seventh grader; the AI recreation was prompted to preserve the buildings, streets, and river layout and later add a river from the mountains. Overall sentiment — post: mixed; author: neutral.

Other claims are speculative: one commenter says Denuvo may be struggling because of AI, while also saying current systems fail at proper Android layouts and cannot build flawless systems that other AI cannot crack; the comments provide no concrete benchmark or deployment evidence. Overall sentiment — post: mixed; author: neutral. Reply threads: 2026-09-20 05:26 GMT+8: post=positive, author=neutral — They acknowledge that open-weight models may already have been used for illegal activity but still favor open… | 2026-09-20 05:31 GMT+8: post=skeptical, author=neutral — They argue that hackers are likely already using uncensored models, reinforcing the post’s concern about… | 2026-09-20 06:09 GMT+8: post=concerned, author=neutral — They speculate that AI is making it difficult for Denuvo, implying that models may already be useful for… |
| 2 | What is JEV and what is it used for? | I am seeing this JEV everywhere since yesterday in Localllama and it is passing past my head on what it is? | 2026-09-20 19:20 GMT+8 | | /u/Hot_Example_4456 | Community reaction (argon/gpt-5.6-luna): Commenters generally describe JEV as an open-source, one-forward-pass model that maps supplied inputs to choices or other structured outputs, with possible uses in routing work between models, selecting tools, and making decisions cheaply; some characterize it as a generalized classifier with LLM-style world knowledge. The main disagreement is whether this is meaningfully novel—several say similar decision or System 1 systems already existed, while one commenter calls the marketing disproportionate to the technical importance—and some explanations remain tentative or imprecise. Overall sentiment — post: mixed; author: neutral. Reply threads: 2026-09-20 19:26 GMT+8: post=skeptical, author=neutral — They describe JEV as an open-source LLM with output modifications that produce a distribution over provided… | 2026-09-20 19:23 GMT+8: post=positive, author=neutral — They explain JEV as a cheaper decision-making system that can route work to models, assist with decisions,… | 2026-09-20 19:26 GMT+8: post=neutral, author=neutral — They tentatively characterize JEV as a system given choice guidelines and data that returns a useful integer,… |

| 1 | The famous “Car Wash” question on Jev | [Image: The famous “Car Wash” question on Jev] But then how should we evaluate its “intelligence”? Does Jev have benchmarks comparable to the usual LLM benchmarks, or is the comparison fundamentally different? | 2026-09-20 17:31 GMT+8 | | /u/Efficient-Owl-6742 | Community reaction (argon/gpt-5.6-luna): Commenters largely frame Jev as a specialized, low-latency System 1 decision engine rather than a general reasoning model, so the car-wash question is viewed by one commenter as a trick or poor-fit benchmark for non-reasoning models. Several commenters are enthusiastic about single-token decisions, realtime controls, and fast agent workflows, while others question Jev’s novelty and long-term relevance because competing labs may reproduce the design; practical guidance is to decompose decisions into simpler features and use Jev for speed-sensitive control rather than broad reasoning. Overall sentiment — post: mixed; author: neutral. Reply threads: 2026-09-20 19:43 GMT+8: post=skeptical, author=neutral — They argue the car-wash prompt is a trick question for a non-reasoning model and cite Typesafe’s claim that… | 2026-09-20 17:40 GMT+8: post=neutral, author=neutral — They recommend decomposing the prompt into separate if-else decisions such as whether the car’s position is… | 2026-09-20 17:59 GMT+8: post=positive, author=neutral — They welcome Jev surfacing the use case of producing a single token or fast control output and see promise… |
| 2 | Jev vs classical ML: results from 8 classification datasets | [Image: Jev vs classical ML: results from 8 classification datasets] Jev vs classical ML: results from 8 classification datasets I tested Jev in zero-shot and few-shot settings against 11 classical ML models, including SVM, XGBoost and logistic regression. Scores in the screenshot are balanced accuracy. | 2026-09-20 17:02 GMT+8 | | /u/Ok_Juggernaut2187 | Community reaction (argon/gpt-5.6-luna): Commenters found the comparison interesting, but questioned whether Jev is well suited to classification datasets and noted that few-shot prompting did not improve its balanced accuracy. The main methodological dispute is benchmark contamination: one commenter argues results should be discarded if Jev was trained on the tested samples, while the author acknowledges this caveat, makes the code public, and invites independent verification; the thread does not establish whether contamination occurred. Overall sentiment — post: mixed; author: mixed. Reply threads: 2026-09-20 17:32 GMT+8: post=mixed, author=neutral — The commenter finds the result interesting but is surprised that Jev did not improve with few-shot examples… | 2026-09-20 17:49 GMT+8: post=positive, author=positive — The commenter praises the testing and suggests Jev’s advantage may be applying blindly to datasets, while… | 2026-09-20 18:05 GMT+8: post=critical, author=critical — The commenter argues that if Jev was trained on the evaluated data, the benchmark has no value and the result… |

After configuring, I used the models llama 3.2 and qwen3.5:9b and asked a simple query “What’s the weather in new york city” and both keep saying they don’t have real time access to data, even when in Integration I turn on Web Search. | 2026-09-20 17:01 GMT+8 | | /u/ProfessorS11 | Community reaction (argon/gpt-5.6-luna): Commenters largely attribute the failure to model tool-calling behavior rather than SearxNG itself: ClassicMain says Llama 3.2 and Qwen3.5:9B are ineffective, while Bulletic1 specifically agrees that Llama 3.2 3B is too old but argues Qwen3.5:9B can use web search and terminal tools. The practical guidance is to verify the Docker/Tailscale/Ollama networking setup, reduce enabled capabilities to web search, increase context size, and test a larger hosted model or an Ollama model with a tools tag to distinguish configuration problems from local-model limitations. Overall sentiment — post: mixed; author: neutral. Reply threads: 2026-09-20 17:06 GMT+8: post=skeptical, author=neutral — They dismiss the selected Llama 3.2 and Qwen3.5:9B models as the likely reason web search is not being… | 2026-09-20 17:29 GMT+8: post=critical, author=neutral — They argue that although the models have technical tool-calling capability, they are too old or weak to call… | 2026-09-20 17:07 GMT+8: post=concerned, author=neutral — They request checks of whether Open WebUI and SearxNG are in Docker on compatible networks with correct… |

The author clarifies that the model is only an Open WebUI interface model for automatic chat names and follow-up questions, running in Docker with Ollama on a DGX Spark, prompting the practical question of whether that narrow role still requires a modern model. Overall sentiment — post: skeptical; author: neutral.

Thought of opening it and running a SMART to se if there is any running hours. | 2026-09-20 13:36 GMT+8 | | /u/desantisbr | Community reaction (argon/gpt-5.6-luna): Commenters are broadly concerned about the drive arriving in makeshift bubble-wrap packaging from a third-party seller, citing uncertain handling and possible condition or warranty issues, although some note that bulk-purchased drives may be resold individually and disagree over whether factory-sealed anti-static bags should still be present. The practical advice is to verify SMART power-on hours and condition only if testing will not affect returns or warranty, otherwise return it and buy from a more reputable seller; one commenter also says the €330 price is close to current Italian pricing, weakening the case that it is an unusually good deal.

Reactions to the presentation are negative because commenters describe it as AI slop, although the author says AI was used only to format hurriedly written text; the thread provides no further technical validation or operator workaround for the SDRAM mismatch.

They do not verify that 48,000 files were actually deleted or explain what “Hephaestus” means; one commenter specifically rejects the thread’s database speculation, while several others use sarcasm and jokes rather than adding technical evidence.

| 2 | It’s time to cancel your subscriptions - Anthropic is silently nerfing Claude’s reasoning budget while telling you it’s the same model | The model’s score per thinking token is still climbing at 128K, meaning the capability is there, it’s just not being delivered. August saw an 18-50% drop in thinking budget compared to July, with median thinking hitting literal zero for about a week around Aug 22. | 2026-09-20 12:20 GMT+8 | | /u/IcyEase | Community reaction (argon/gpt-5.6-luna): Several commenters corroborate the post’s observation that Claude app models may skip visible reasoning, including reports that Sonnet/Opus 4.6 Adaptive Thinking declines to think and a same-prompt test where the app did not think while the API did at medium effort; users also report that chain-of-thought summaries are no longer visible in the app. The practical takeaway is to use the API or third-party wrappers such as Poe when controllable effort and reasoning summaries matter, while the comments remain anecdotal and one user attributes the behavior and missing code button to a possible backend issue rather than proving a deliberate nerf.

I did /compact rather than /clear, with the intention of then doing /autocompact 400000 14% of the 5 hour limit was gone just for the compact itself….it shows cost of $59.73, so lucky I’m not on API? | 2026-09-20 10:09 GMT+8 | | /u/danbradster2 | Community reaction (argon/gpt-5.6-luna): Commenters largely recommend avoiding compaction for routine continuity: start a new session and preserve important context in organized Markdown files, with one commenter saying old chats can be batch-uploaded later. The main disagreement is conceptual rather than operational: some commenters treat /clear and /compact as broadly similar context resets, while others insist /clear wipes context and starts from the harness prompt whereas /compact uses an expensive model to reason over the full context, summarize what matters, and hand it off; the thread also splits between hostile criticism of the post and defenses of the author’s attempt to learn.

The main caveats are that RFID spoofing was not demonstrated, the Android app reportedly exposes total print counts to Niimbot servers and has hostile calibration behavior, and commenters see isolated old laptops as useful agent sandboxes for testing. Overall sentiment — post: positive; author: positive.

They’re Secretly Degrading Their Models.] I’ve been a massive Codex fan this entire time. | 2026-09-20 04:15 GMT+8 | | /u/FixAdmin | Community reaction (argon/gpt-5.6-luna): Commenters largely validate the post’s loss of trust, describing declining Codex/OpenAI quality and effective subscription reductions after the 5.2-era near-infinite-token period and the 5.4 2x offer, with several saying 5.5 was the major deterioration and 5.6 briefly improved before degrading again. The timeline is anecdotal rather than evidence-backed, with disagreement over whether the bait-and-switch began at 5.3, 5.4, or 5.5; practical suggestions include prompting Codex to take a meaningful next step, switching to Claude when work demands it, and comparing usage across Cursor models, while jokes about quota-based pelican drawing add little technical signal.

Suggested mitigations are disabling repeated polling, using a completion watcher, filing a GitHub issue, and handing off context after each task; however, a commenter disputes the scale of the burn, while another says watcher-based setups can still wake up and check. Operators should test their own workflows and monitor context-loading behavior instead of assuming low-cost orchestration or watcher logic eliminates usage.
