If you need an adrenaline rush to wake up from your post-Thanksgiving stupor… we got you.
@deepseek_ai V3.2 dropped this week and is now available on Baseten. It’s so smart your mother will ask why you can't be more like DeepSeek. V3.2 is currently on par with GPT-5 all whilst being multiples cheaper.
V3.2 is now live on our Model APIs and on @openrouter and @ArtificialAnlys. Baseten is the fastest provider with 0.22 TTFT and 191 tps (that’s 1.5x faster than the next guy). For a model this size, it’s screaming. Get the brains, without trading off performance.

I want to pause here and dwell on how weird the run dynamic was. Venture capital shot itself in the foot by pulling their money & broadcasting it (bizarrely?) loudly. There will likely be start-ups who can't make payroll next week
VCs should've watched It's a Wonderful Life

A priest, a pastor, and a rabbit walked into a clinic to donate blood. The doctor says to the rabbit: "What's your blood type?"
"I'm probably a Type O", the rabbit replied with great sadness.

In his guest lecture for “Software Engineering for Scientists,” my class @Stanford, @MarkDePristo spoke about how software engineering was critical to his career in science (@broadinstitute, @gatk_dev, @GoogleAI, & his startup @BigHatBio).
Here’s his story and why it matters🧵

ok so let me get this straight. the Unix philosophy is to make everything composable with lots of tiny individual programs doing one thing and communicating through text outputs. and most of them are written in C. and C is terrible for processing text? am I getting this right?
