I am unaware lm studio is being used for fine tuning. I believe it only does inference.

Happy to see unsloth making it even easier for people like me to get going with fine tuning. Not that I am unable to I'm just lazy.

Fine tuning with a UI is definitely targeted towards hobbyists. Sadly I'll have to wait for AMD ROCm support.

Thanks! We do have normal AMD support for Unsloth but yes the UI doesn't support it just yet! Will keep you posted!

What does "normal AMD support" mean here? I was completely unable to get it working on my Ryzen AI 9700 XT. I had to munge the versions in the requirements to get libraries compatible with recent enough ROCm, and it didn't go well at all. My last attempt was a couple weeks before studio was announced.

Is that not already possible with Markdown spec files and planning mode?

I guess? At least there you can review the plan, but is this planning mode any better at making architectural decisions than when you prompt an LLM and let it make the changes directly? (it might be, just not sure.)

You are right.

Although I have been a skeptic of MCPs, it has been an immense help with agents. I do not have an alternative at the moment.

Elaborate?

It seems to be a way to circumvent censorship.

They probably want to tone down their marketing claims then, since it doesn't let you browse the web without internet access. It lets you browse webpages that would be blocked in your area

I thought this was going to be some kind of wifi or bluetooth mesh

Me too, or some kind of offline caching system that automatically downloads your commonly visited websites or something

I had the exact same thought and it wasn't until navigating to their FAQ did it become apparent what they were actually selling.

"Browse the web without internet access" is either purposely misleading or written by someone who doesn't understand the tech they're marketing.

in Iran there's a funny situation where you're connected but not to the internet. if that makes sense.

Are you still able to access Iranian servers, or is all traffic blocked? I'd class "The servers in Iran" as still a part of the internet

It does thanks. Hope all is well if you're over there.

I agree. "Cut off" and "without internet access" != censored. They should have worded it better. The title is the worst.

"Ceno, browse the censored web if BitTorrent isn't censored."

I absolutely love it.

Am so much more excited about tiny models gaining real intelligence. Just today I have been running Qwen3.5 0.8B model on images and am pleasantly surprised by how good it is compared to even 4B and 8B models from a few months ago.

Besides, AI has barely started to be productive to Developers. The rest of the workforce are still untouched for the most part. The tools that assist the bulk of knowledge work out there is still in the works.

And THAT is the biggest issue you have with the whole ordeal?

Don't forget the onslaught of ads that will distort the actual publications even more going forward.

Unless regulated, there is no incentive for the giants to fund anything.

There is no problem that cannot be solved with creating a bureaucracy and paperwork!

I understand this is tongue-in-cheek, but do you have an alternative/better proposal?

Let the market do. If good data is so critical to the success of AI, AI companies will pay for it. I don't know how someone can still entertain the idea that a bureaucrat, or worse, a politician, is remotely competent at designing an efficient economy.

All the world's data was critical to the success of AI. They stole it and fought the system to pay nothing. Then settled it for peanuts because the original creators are weak to negotiate. It already happened.

No they won't pay for it, unless they believe it's in their best interests. If they believe they can free-ride and get good data without having to pay for it, why would they lay down a dollar?

Because the companies in control of that data won't let them have it for free, like what is happening in the article.

Or, they'll just create more technically sophisticated workarounds to get what they want while avoiding a bad precedent that might cost them more money in the long run. Millions for defense, not one cent for tribute.

Now apply the same logic to laws, except that laws are a lot slower to change when they find the next workaround.

And it's a lot harder to get the law to stop doing something once it proves to cause significant collateral damage, or just cumulative incremental collateral damage while having negligible effectiveness.
