印度光明节,号称 built in 印度的 Alpie 9B 发布。看了一下,完全是向 Qwen3.5-9B “致敬”: - 架构方面,完全 copy - 分词器方面,词表一个字没动 - 权重结构和数值:基本逐位相同 哦,唯一不同的是模型的自我认知: chat template 每轮都注入指令,问来自哪里就答 “India”。 把 X 网友当傻子么? huggingface.co/169Pi/Alpie_s…
This Diwali, a little more light from India's AI research community onto the global AI landscape. Introducing the latest benchmark results from Alpie Seed, our 9B multimodal reasoning model developed at @169Pi_ai Research. We believe the next generation of AI will be shaped not only by models that scale bigger, but by the research and engineering that make smaller models increasingly capable. We put Alpie Seed through a range of demanding evaluations across reasoning, scientific knowledge, mathematics, coding and software engineering. Here are some of the results: → 82.54% on MMLU-Pro → 84.32% on GPQA Diamond → 72.99% on LiveCodeBench v6 → 61.20% on SWE-Bench Verified The comparison highlights some interesting results. Alpie Seed records the highest GPQA Diamond score among the models shown. On MMLU-Pro, it performs competitively with larger models, while its LiveCodeBench result is within striking distance of substantially larger systems. Its SWE-Bench Verified result of 61.20% is another important milestone, reflecting its ability to work through real-world software engineering tasks. This evaluation used mini-SWE-agent without retries. Beyond benchmark accuracy, we also examined inference efficiency. In a separate profiling evaluation, Alpie Seed recorded: → 36.66 ms time to first token → 41.37 tokens/s generation speed → 9,796.22 tokens/s prompt processing speed These measurements come from a separate profiling setup and should not be confused with the comparative benchmark results. What makes this work meaningful to us is the process behind it: developing a compact model through supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, evaluating it across diverse tasks, and making the resulting weights accessible to the wider community. The comparison includes published results from other model developers. These evaluations were not rerun under a common harness, so differences in methodology and configuration should be considered when interpreting the numbers. Built in India. Developed for a global research and developer community. This is Alpie Seed. And this is one step in a much larger journey for 169Pi Research. Explore the model: Hugging Face: huggingface.co/169Pi/Alpie_s… GGUF: huggingface.co/169Pi/Alpie_S… Ollama: ollama.com/169pi/alpie-seed Kaggle: kaggle.com/models/alpie/alpi… Happy Diwali from everyone at 169Pi.

There are SO many animal species that went extinct recently that we NEVER got to know about, all because of deforestation for cheap cash! 😤❌
An estimated 137 plant, animal & insect species are lost EVERY DAY due to deforestation. That's 50,000 species a year. We are watching extinction in real time. Source: Rainforest Alliance / UN estimates

Today marks the 10th anniversary of NaMo's DeMo, a Tughlaqian adventure that resulted in the most comprehensive debauchery of a national currency anywhere in the world. Every single one of its "aims" has proven to be baseless, as was pointed out then. Enduring national shame

China puts data centers in Malaysia to get access to compute they can't get in China due to sanctions. The US puts data centers in Malaysia because every state bans data centers. AGI happens. Malaysia nationalizes all the data centers and becomes the sole hegemon of the world.
JUST IN: Google to invest $15 billion in Malaysia data centers

The founder of the wearable device Temple, Mr. Deepinder Goyal (who has blocked me on Twitter) has now put out an official statement regarding concerns raised by the medical community on the said device being a scam. As expected, he has written a word salad. This man has provided no real evidence or proof that his device, which he is selling for INR 85,000/- can measure and interpret brain flow from a superficial artery (superficial temporal artery - which is an extracranial artery - meaning a blood vessel placed entirely outside the skull, supplying blood to the side of the face, temple, and scalp regions). His own Science Lead (Avi Roy) has accepted that the fact that their device is not yet proven to measure brain flow or "entropy" as they claim on their website and additionally, has directly addressed concerns of poor methodology as well as statisitical misrepresentation, without respond to clear evidence of data falsification in their pre-print papers. Other wearables like Whoop (which he cited) measured and validated exactly what the wearable can measure within limits of human anatomy and physiology. Temple is overdoing it and defrauding its potential customers. The device can only measure blood flow and flushing to the face in humans and has ansolutely NOTHING to do with the brain as they claim. This is the issue, not what can happen in the future. The device itself fails its primary objective. There is no our science and your science. But there is bad science, fringe science and science fraud and Team Temple, embraced all of these. Temple device is a scam. There is no doubt about it. The question is however, how long can this man and his team keep defrauding people under the garb of "we are spending millions for you" or "we are trying our best" or "we are taking the risk" kind of responses? These farts in the windtunnel responses are not what is expected from a company who's website claims "solid science". There is solid fraud though - pathetic little businessmen.

Why India will never become like Europe and America!! Blinkit's Founder started Free Ambulance Service in some cities to handle emergency cases. What Indian's did? - Started Booking it for routine checkups, hospital visits and hospital-to-home transfers. They could have easily hired a Ola, Uber and Rapido for checkups, hospital visits and transfers but they wanted to save that money!! Now blinkit will be charging 2500 rupees for each non emergency bookings and it will be free for emergency bookings!! The 2500 will go to trusts which manages these Free Ambulances!! Indians will never have the civic sense and they don't deserve good services!!

We need to look at what is happening here seriously beyond laughing about it. Voter Id and Biometrics are being linked. Why? To allow a biometric based voting system for One Nation One Election in future.

And scene... The Binance attack wasn’t anything AI either. This was the NTH REPEAT OF THE FAKE JOB OFFER CLICK HERE NORTH KOREA KEEPS USING SUCCESSFULLY. I lost count. The real issue was a single DevOps compromise could escalate AND crypto isn’t regulated/reversible. NOT AI.

CERT-IN still requires researchers submit PDF forms in order to report security vulnerabilities in the big year of 2026. Is this the agency that is expected to protect Indian computer systems from swarms of malicious AI agents and non-stop exploitation attempts?

The PM will be flying down all the way from Delhi, to Bengaluru, to inaugurate a bloody 7.5 km metro lane—splurging crores of tax-payers’ money for a few hours’ PR circus and consequently causing huge inconvenience to the public on a weekday. Boy, we can’t be a serious country. It’s a bloody metro lane, man; not a global dais where you’re the raison d’être. For heaven’s sake, leave the inauguration and other menial jobs to the rank and file of the concerned department #NammaMetro

Facing toxic air pollution? Don’t breathe. Facing pothole roads? Don’t walk. Facing high petrol prices? Don’t use private vehicle. Facing paper leaks? Don’t give exams. Godi media dividing society? Don’t watch TV. Fake babas playing with religion? Don’t attend them. Facing unemployment? Don’t look for jobs. This is exactly the system that has turned us into cockroaches! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

After seeing this, I oppose the heliocentric model because it’s too stressful!
We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years. ​Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds. ​Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops. ​The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.
