Unless you have an accent. Over 1 million people from 180 countries have spent 580,000 hours speaking with Fluently AI tutors while learning a new language. Nearly all of them have an accent, and transcribing their speech is still hard. So we benchmarked streaming speech-to-text systems on spontaneous, accented English from our learners. Leaderboard and methodology in the thread. English is the easy one. Our learners study 14 other languages too. Working on tough speech problems? DMs are open.30663.1K

- siddharthRT @JordanLeeGrowth: Hard truth nobody likes... Experience is overrated. The guy who fixed our sales calls had never done a day in sales. Our sales team couldn't fix people booking calls and not showing up. A guy we hired for operations, with ZERO sales experience fixed it 10 years of experience means fuck all if someone with zero can do it better.03081

- siddharthRT @adxtyahq: Today, I'm launching - The hands-on way to learn AI engineering: LLMs, RAG, agents, evals and inference. - 50+ interactive labs. Tweak tokenizers, attention, embeddings and KV caches live. - Train a neural network in your browser and watch it learn. - Build agentic workflows with tool calls, memory, guardrails and bounded autonomy. - Ship RAG that works: chunking, hybrid search, reranking, and LLM-as-a-judge evals. - Production AI: model routing, fallbacks, quantization, caching and cost per request. - 490+ interview questions, reported from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Mistral and 50+ more. - Every answer is cited from papers and books, or measured on real models.0179071
- the one industry that will never run out of customers somehow never got a redesign cool that there's someone still betting on death-tech someone had to 💀Kate Ivanova @ivanidze404i asked chatgpt how to plan a funeral. it said to call a few funeral homes and ask for price lists. makes sense when only 18% of them post prices online, it had nothing to show me. every other industry figured out online shopping 20 years ago. this one still runs on phone calls. so 8 in 10 families call one place and say yes to an $8k decision, sometimes from a hospital hallway. why are we fine with that? episode 2 of building an ai-native funeral company in public.70723.8K

- what if the future of AI isn't one insanely smart model but thousands of smaller ones working together... distributed cognition might actually be onto something here
distributed cognition @distcogToday distributed cognition exits out of stealth with backing by Verdict Capital. Our mission is to replicate humanity's collective intelligence.

We stand on three substantially different foundational beliefs: - You shouldn't ask permission for intelligence. - Superintelligence will be a distributed collective. - Humans are not meant to be relegated to a permanent underclass.

On Routerplus, providers bid for your traffic and we get you the best offer for your workload. You get better latency, throughput, and uptime at a fraction of the cost. Thinking of open models?
