"all of which require everything you've mentioned at minimum"

Sorry who else did everything I mentioned? I think the guy behind Laya tried after noticing Jev's traction... but the site's auth went down and has stayed down for a day now.

"substantially more straightforward than almost any other product in its category"

More straightforward than the spite projects based on constrained decoding? Or Laya with it's couple of days post-training ModernBERT?

I have no doubt other teams can build models like this and I've love for a frontier lab to give us an even smarter model with these ergonomics... but in the rush to show Jev what's up, we're mostly getting slop.

PS: I don't know anyone who's done anything of note who uses trivial like that. The commentariat do, and the "I could have done that" crowd do, but I don't pay much attention to them until they actually do the thing.
