Was all the code they rewrote originally in Lua? So was it just a matter of moving from a dynamic language with pointer-heavy data structures to a static language with value types and more control over memory layout? Or was there something else going on?
I.e. what's the FL2 benchmark on Gen 12 compared to FL1?
Nah I'm good thanks. Slop takes more effort to read and just raises questions of accuracy. It's just disrespectful to your reader to put that work on them. And in a marketing blog post it's just a bad idea.
AI text is everywhere, but this isn’t it.
To your point, this would register as “human bloviating for word count subtly” if llms didn’t exist, and at this point is probably the most useful feedback. I doubt it’s 100% one-shot AI, but someone definitely optimized it in parts, but the AI heard “concise” as “bullets and short sentences.”
“But we didn't just assume it would be a problem; we measured it.”
“ Instead of compromising, we built FL2. ”
Idk if i am now seeing this pattern everywhere because it is all AI slop or if people really do write this way.
Skimming it, this looks like they got a partnership with amd and tacked it onto an ongoing project as if it were planned. This confuses us as it makes it harder to understand how much was the rewrite generally or was it some hardware thing? Man, i used to really enjoy cloudflares technical blogs.
