The MoE experts are quantized to int4, all other weights like the shared expert weights are excluded from quantization and use bf16.

They could release data to back up that claim.

Are there any protections from industrial espionage when using Anthropic, Cursor, Gemini, or OpenAI?

There are legal protections, and those companies have more to lose by breaking those laws than following them. Same probably not true for Chinese companies.

Legal protection, only if you're a billionaire and US citizen, for everyone else there is no protection.

Does US actually follow laws? They literally kidnapped head of another state and bombed another state and you are expecting legal protection from them?

You don't have to be a US citizen or live in the US to file a lawsuit against an American company in the US court system. Federal courts explicitly allow it under the "alienate jurisdiction" clause.

Their revenue was $57.4 billion last year. Just in Q4; cloud revenue $6.7 billion, cloud infrastructure $3.0 billion, cloud application $3.7 billion, Fusion Cloud ERP $1.0 billion, NetSuite cloud ERP $1.0 billion.

It's the number of attempts at answering the question.

He founded the team that worked on fasttext, llama and other similarly impactful projects.

He founded FAIR and the team in Paris that ultimately worked on the early Llama versions.

FAIR was founded in 2015 and Llama's first release was in 2023. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but no reasonable person credits ChatGPT in 2022 to him.

It can also be used to simplify existing code bases.

It's a lot simpler. These models are not optimized for ambiguous riddles.

There's nothing ambiguous about this question[1][2]. The tool simply gives different responses at random.

And why should a "superintelligent" tool need to be optimized for riddles to begin with? Do humans need to be trained on specific riddles to answer them correctly?

How is this riddle relevant to a coding model?

It's not a coding model. Go to https://chat.z.ai/ and you'll see it is presented as a generalist.
