@rauchg
cpu-chat: built a reproduction of OpenAI's findings on covert CPU communication across Firecracker microVMs with no internet access, chatting via CPU contention, cache eviction timing, and DRAM bandwidth contention despite Firecracker's production recommendations; says this differs from side-channel data theft, is harder to pull off and easier to detect in Vercel's environment, and that OpenAI and Anthropic models refused the work while open-weight models completed it. post (https://x.com/rauchg/status/2114770919436808572) · 2,186❤ · 198 RT
@HamelHusain
Benchmark review pushback: quotes Epoch AI's Benchmark Reviews launch (15 benchmarks: 4 Verified, 9 Flawed, 2 insufficient information) and rebuts common pushback, arguing benchmarks drive large token spend and are trusted blindly, listing checks for failing tasks, model configuration, harness realism, and scoring, and saying this motivates investing in private evals. post (https://x.com/HamelHusain/status/2114935968604299552) · 66❤ · 1 RT
