Absolutely disgusting scroll jacking, even when "Accessibility mode" is turned on

I'm sure most of us agree, but:

"Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting."

Forgot about this, my bad!
pixeldash928•2h ago
Looks like the OAI divergence is finally taking place. Seems like the comparisons are mainly with Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 though. Still, exciting to see a new frontier player.
i_have_an_idea•38m ago
Is it a frontier player though, or perhaps a new benchmaxxed model? People were saying similar things about Grok but it ultimately amounted to little.
wasabi991011•18m ago
"preferred by humans over Sonnet 4.6" makes it pretty clearly not benchmaxxed though.

At least when you define benchmaxxed as "good in benchmarks but not human preference".

> Second, clean data. MAI-Thinking-1 was trained on clean and appropriately licensed data, with AI-generated content excluded from pre-training. This matters for quality, provenance, and control. If we cannot account for what shaped a model, we cannot fully understand its behavior or credibly improve it.

Shots fired?

It would be interesting to see how far "clean data" can go on the scaling laws.

onlyrealcuzzo•1h ago
I'm interested how much "Clean Data" is synthetic data from "unclean" models...

“ We trained it from the ground up on enterprise grade, clean and commercially licensed data, without distillation from third-party models.”

sounds like zero unless they are lying.

Though this is largely impossible these days, unless they pre-trained on pre-AI era data.

7 modes launched. 5 models in the dropdown. Only 4 actually usable :(

About time Microsoft joined the fray. After the OpenAI divorce, it really looked like Microsoft was going to become another Uber.

giancarlostoro•1h ago
They still own 27% of OpenAI, this IPO will feed them a lot of easy cash.
lordmauve•1h ago
We need to see DeepSWE scores. SWE Bench Pro is junk.
wmf•1h ago
At least there shouldn't be any complaints about benchmaxing this time.
i_have_an_idea•36m ago
Just because it is performing rather poorly by comparison, it doesn’t mean it isn’t benchmaxxed. It can still be worse than it appears.
wasabi991011•17m ago
It isn't benchmaxxed because they are using human preference as an evaluation.
kstenerud•54m ago
They've hijacked scrolling. They've hijacked the spacebar. It flickers like crazy when I try to move through the article. Trying to get through it is an exercise in madness.
AirMax98•50m ago
I normally don't comment on matters of taste like this, but wow this is brutal. It's like someone threw the site in a vat of molasses.
t-sauer•37m ago
I do not understand how scroll hijacking is still a thing. Who thinks this is a better experience?
maelito•30m ago
Designers.
aniceperson•36m ago
there is also a gap between the header and the top of the page... they should ask the ai to make it better a few more times...
blisstonia•21m ago
I gave up after the first scroll.
grassfedgeek•11m ago
Even without flicker it is very distracting. Why do people think this is a good idea?
BeetleB•34m ago
Based on the first table, why would I pick this over GLM?
missedthecue•13m ago
Because your employer might make you exclusively use enterprise copilot.
hartator•17m ago
I like it so much when a website hijacks the way my scroll works. This is truly innovative.
vcryan•14m ago
It really looks like they used Claude to design this webpage. I guess the color taupe it the marker of good AI today.
postalcoder•16m ago
There’s a reason why they qualified it with a “pre-train”. Obviously they’re post training with synthetic data.

Why are pre and post train ethically different, though?

bicx•19m ago
So, laundered data?
vdfs•51m ago
I doubt any lab would say otherwise, they all _claim_ to use licensed data
keeda•32m ago
Maybe, but Microsoft, through their partnership with OpenAI, is already involved in major copyright lawsuits. That is probably a driving force for this move, actually... I doubt they would want to tempt fate while those lawsuits are on-going.
