I would try and go open source as fast as possible before a legal letter land on your desk. Then worry about the commercialisation. Also I have a feeling you could charge SERIOUS coin for some app for property developers based around this. But someone is almost certainly going to come at you because, you know, us Brits hate clever clogs.
Yeah, unfortunately you are not wrong about the national tradition of wanting to pull down clever-clogs...
The open source angle is something I'm increasingly considering, especially after a local government IT person made a fair point on this thread about the strain it causes. It won't fix the scraping load directly, but might frame the project as public-interest rather than attempting to make a bit of extra money.
Tbh, the real value is probably in serving property developers and consultants, not emailing £19 PDFs to homeowners. Got a lot to think about.
I think you're absolutely on the right track. It's all a matter of optics. Open source gives you the higher ground for the jobsworths. Meanwhile you can put together some kind of cool package to approach property developers with.
The war in Iran and just generally undermining the economy at home have done thousands of times more damage to the petrodollar than domestic wind production ever could. The only logical explanation here is cronyism. Or bribes.
So one man's design slop is another man's 'thank goodness we've got some kind of reasonable standard which makes the web kind of nice looking.'
In the same way that not everyone can speak English, not everyone has the design chops to make something which looks and works decently. At least AI gives those folk a chance at making a useable web presence?
I remember altavista, geocities and 100 other horrible sites which we had to use every day through gritted teeth (also not forgetting gruesome early versions of eBay, Amazon and the rest). It's nice to get some decent typography and white spacing.
I'm more concerned with the fact that they don't trust anyone outside their clique, like most politicos. Any attempt to distribute power away from them is described using abusive terms and phrases.
Thanks, I missed that. It's very interesting. They're quite close, but I found Qwen 3.6 plus was just marginally better than Kimi 2.5. But looking at the stats I'll definitely give GLM 5.1 a try now. [edit: even though looking at it, it's not cheap and has a much smaller context size.And I can't tell about tool use.]
I've spent probably over100 hours working on this benchmarking/site platform, and all tests are manually written. For me (and many others that reached out to me) are not useless either. I use this myself regularly when choosing and comparing new models. I honestly beleive it is providing value to the conversation.
Let me know if you know of a better platform you can use to compare models, I built this one because I didn't find any with good enough UX.
Yeah, but actually that's not a good look. Anyone who's used Gemini will know how random it is in terms of getting anything serious done, compared to the rock solid opus experience.
Their benchmark is chock-full of things like that: It's deeply flawed and is essentially rating how LLMs perform if you exert yourself trying to hold them entirely the wrong way.
