Google AI chief questions DeepSeek’s $5.6 million training claim as ‘exaggerated’.

He suggested that the reported figure likely only covers the final training run, which is just a small part of the overall expenses involved in developing an AI model from the ground up. It seems that in the world of AI, figures can sometimes be inflated to make a point.

thankful for every listen <3

beat by the insanely talented @illsee
lyrics:

I live among the vermin
will you listen to my song
will you listen to my sermon
will you honor all my wishes cause you know that I've been hurting
will you call me when it’s imminent
I’m terrified it’s certain
I live among the vermin 
will you listen to my song
will you listen to my sermon
will you honor all my wishes cause you know that I've been hurting
will you promise you’ll be with me when I’m pulling back the curtain

I've been up in arms
wondering how I’d tell you
when I wanna be in yours
wish it was that easy
but it’s pulling back and forth
wish I could appease it
but it’s gonna run its course

I'm always down on my luck
not coming out of my rut
I’ll find a beat
that I like
and make some shit on it once
but Imma finish a song don’t care
if I hate it
Imma keep up with this i swear
never disappear

I live among the vermin
will you listen to my song
will you listen to my sermon
will you honor all my wishes cause you know that I've been hurting
will you call me when it’s imminent
I’m terrified it’s certain
I live among the vermin
will you listen to my song
will you listen to my sermon
will you honor all my wishes cause you know that I've been hurting
will you promise you’ll be with me when I’m pulling back the curtain

vermin (maybe)

massive thanks to @enyusroom + @wraithwilldie - love you guys with all my heart <3
also special thanks to enyu for the insane artwork + mix/master <3

lyrics:

(mistral)
take what you can
and make a run for it
i buried my hopes
became a pessimist
no point in hiding
nothing will remain
once i leave this home
that i have set aflame

listen close
i’ll make you understand
how a blaze swept through
this once golden land
beyond the oaks
would you take my hand
stay right near me
up until time ends

saw the signs
and all the parts aligned
a warm embrace
instead of senseless fights
the ashes decorate a velvet sky
the calm was unlike anything you’ll ever find

wait
something isn’t right
the mud begins to move
as they come to realize
i think you’d be better off
no longer by my side
cause i can’t guarantee
more than one of us survives

(enyu)
i can’t lie
there’s a part of u still left in me
but i don't mind
parting ways when it's our destiny

crossing paths on burning bridges
while i rip and tear at healing stitches, i

found a way through the overpass
where lines fade and they overlap
i’m tied up, attached to
regrets in our past

when our hearts fall flat
and the whole week’s passed
i should take what's left
but i could never want that

(wraith)
i burned your damn reflection
inside of these worthless eyes of mine
oh, prize of mine, the time is nigh-
so care of tinder, we ignited

we could fight while deaf and blinded
darling leave this life behind us
bite that tongue and sit in silence
peace and quiet, bathed in light

let the fire consume
there's no escaping this room
if you reap what you sow
then we’re definitely doomed

ashes to ashes w/ enyu & wraith (stillvanishing)

took me a bit to make this, but it was a ton of fun to experiment with some new sounds. s/o hero for teaching me about formant shifting /o/ 
I'm gonna try and release 2 songs next month, no guarantee though c:

lyrics:

I would lift your head when the water’s high
I would wrap your hands when you’re cold at night
lay flat on the ground so I break your fall
And I would be alright
I wouldn’t mind at all
I would move the sun when it blinds your sight
I would shoulder your weight and still stand upright
mutilate my body if my skin’s not right for you
if you were by my side 
I’d die for you
  
So I tear myself apart everyday that’s fine
I know that every piece ends up entwined
with my hands tracing slowly up up spine
sewing threads so tight they won’t unwind
I

wanna know
have you ever tried to be
anything more than what you’re trying to be
need to know 
if you’ve ever tried to see
everything that I can see

I could be a shipwreck washed ashore
I could be approaching meteors
I could be somebody’s last resort
Did I ever tell you that
that

Iiiii
will love you like I know to
castle in the sky 
baby I think we should float too
I’m barely alive
but for you I wanna pull through
if you were my ride or die
there’d be so much I could show you

I would lift your head when the water’s high
I would wrap your hands when you’re cold at night
lay flat in the dirt so I break your fall
And I would be alright  
I wouldn’t mind at all
I would move the sun when it blinds your sight
I would shoulder your weight and still stand upright
mutilate my body if my skin’s not right for you
if you were by my side
I’d die for you

I could be a shipwreck washed ashore
I could be approaching meteors
I could be somebody’s last resort
Did I ever tell you that before?

break your fall (empty roads)

for Autumn, Season of mists  ….  I wrote these tracks a while ago, and as time has gone by I’m using new equipment & software. It’s quite a technical piece and I wanted to explore what I could do with it now with new mastering.

On this track I’m using Arturia, Synth1, OPUS, Ableton Vintage Synths and Isotope Ozone. The objective is to seamlessly blend Synths and Orchestral instruments to create a dreamlike sequence....

Hope you like it
