    DeepSeek announced to raise its API price tremendously

    by alexwwang · 2 days ago

    My take: this notice from DeepSeek might actually be a brilliant marketing move. The logic here is to urge users to ramp up their usage over the next 2 to 3 months. By the time the price hike actually kicks in, newer models will likely have already drawn users away, and whenever DeepSeek drops its next, even stronger model, the new price point won't feel nearly as steep. It’s a clever way to dodge the dilemma Kimi and GLM found themselves in. Let's wait and see how it plays out.

    Laguna S 2.1:118B-a9B better than Qwen3.5:122B-a10B? So far, yes

    by spottedmarley · 1 day ago

    I just found out about this new American (San Francisco) model today and I'm currently benchmarking it and, so far, it is outperforming my standard go-to model Qwen3.5:122b and even Sonnet in my benchmarking test. It's personality is much better than Qwen and it is more naturally creative when it is designing UIs. I have about 6 more tests to go though.

    If you're interested you can look at my benchmark dashboard here: https://spottedmarley.com/arena/

    Ask HN: Did GitHub remove the stargazers list?

    by reconnecting · 3 days ago

    GitHub seems to be continuing (1) to deprecate star information. First the stargazers list was hidden from logged-out users, and now the main stargazers link on repo pages has disappeared too. /stargazers returns a 404 (2) unless you own the repo.

    I know many people say stars aren't a real signal, but they were: they made it possible to detect signs of bought stars. Some third-party services even showed the geographic distribution of a repo's stars so you could judge whether they looked fake.

    The main point is that whatever reasoning GitHub offers, the outcome is the same: either GitHub is weak against bots, or it would rather control these signals itself, with no way for outsiders to audit them.

    Read HN twice a day for the last decade. Here's my list of S-Tier HN links

    by vivzkestrel · 3 days ago

    - Everyday I read 2 pages of HN in the morning and 2 in the evening for years now

    - Of late, I noticed that most of the stuff on the 1st 2 pages is AI this, AI that, LLM this, LLM that, model here, model there

    - Today I am going to attempt to break that trend by sharing the greatest resources on HN from my collection of 50000+ bookmarks over the last decade

    - I have a process on my end for bookmarking

    - The most visual explainers get S-Tier ranking

    - Good info from reputed sources gets an A, non reputed gets B

    - Opinion blogs are at the bottom of the barrel and maybe ranked C, D, E and even F depending on quality

    - Here's my S-Tier list
