    Cybertruck is a decisive design only a founder-led company could ship. Anywhere else this would 100% die before ever made it up to middle management or get diluted to look like everything else.

    1. Embed a book into GPT-3 / ChatGPT. 2. Talk directly to the book to learn. Learn from a book through conversation, questions, and in the order you want.

    Here’s Deepseek r1 1.5B thinking through a problem — it’s comparable to 4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet in a number of domains like math. Except… it’s a 1.5B model… and can run on virtually any hardware. Truly a huge efficiency leap.

    > There was no version control. The team saved files in a “bucket of USBs” and merged them to the main build when done. Results-oriented always beats process-oriented. Process only lives to serve the results.

    “outperforms GPT-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet on math benchmarks” Here it is running on a phone, completely offline. Tiny 1.5B AI model that will run on almost any hardware, even without internet. Are you getting it yet?

    Grab Llama 3.2 3B on your iPhone. Works without internet. Never know when you’ll need it. If you do you’ll be glad you did.
