OP here: this project was born out of the frustration/paranoia that AI providers are throttling their models when their server load is too high. So, I set out to model and study the problem mathematically to understand what was happening, what I found was quite surprising. The idea seems natural: as the data center demand increases momentarily through the day, throttling their models (either using quantized versions, reducing the context window or lowering the tier of the model to a smaller one) seems appealing as the replacement model in principle uses less electricity. The problem is that t…

Hey guys, I’m Sean founder & CEO of M2W. We made an AI editor for manga creators worldwide. Manga creators work solo or duo and can’t get critical feedback from public, but editors are too busy and expensive to hire. So we made this AI editor with manga editors who used to work at major Japanese manga publishing firms. As a result, creators can get reliable feedback in minutes to reiterate and make their works better at the earliest stage of creation. This will lead into us becoming publishers ourselves and be able to pay the creators a larger share of revenue than it is now. Currently th…

This essay was written with Kasra Rafi, and originally appeared in The Guardian. Earlier this month, about 40 top mathematicians gathered at OpenAI’s offices to discuss the future of their profession. The meeting was off-the-record, but if recent articles by mathematicians are any guide, it was mostly pretty glum. People fear for their jobs, their careers and the work they love. We think the contrary view is more likely, at least in the short-term. AI models are nowhere near as capable as experienced academic mathematicians. This isn’t to say that AIs aren’t producing stunning mathemati…
