Show HN: I built the LLM Comparison Tool I wish existed
I was overspending on GPT-4o. It was really hard to compare different models I could switch to, so I built this LLM comparison tool.

It shows leaderboards, pricing, and performance data across 100+ LLMs (including all major providers and open-source models).

Key features:
- Live pricing comparisons
- Benchmark Scores (MMLU, HumanEval, GPQA, etc.)
- Context length vs cost analysis
- Speed/throughput tests across providers
- Quality vs price visualizations
- Open source (all data verifiable)

Try it out: https://llmstats.com

I'd like to know your opinion :)

Tech stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Recharts. All data available on GitHub.

How does that work in practice? Do you connect the LLM up directly to the app somehow, or do you ask it what to do and then do what it says and see what happens?

How much RAM do you need to make those work acceptably well? I assume Llama 3.3 means the 70B model, so you need > 70GB. (So, I guess, a MacBook with 128GB?) In which case I guess you're also using 8 bits for the Qwen model?
All the research on "diversity" shows that it is clearly associated with particular media outlets as a primary talking point and wedge issue.

Many perceive EU laws as imposed without democratic oversight, but this isn't quite accurate. The European Parliament, elected by EU citizens, is involved in most legislative processes. The EU Council, made up of ministers from elected governments, also plays a key role. It's not how national democracies work, but with no unified European public, this system might be the best compromise for now.

All I need is the proportion of the qualifying numbers to the input array to run the algorithm and the number of samples. Then we can sample min, max index of the qualifying array and return their difference without having to sample many times if we can derive the joined min max distribution conditional on the Bernoulli.

In other words the procedure can take any input array and qualifying criteria.

The joint distribution is relatively simple to derive. (This is related to the fact that min, max of continuous uniform on 0, 1 are Beta distributions.)

> No no brought up remigration.

Not sure how "No no" is, if it is a language barrier or if you meant to write "No one". But the parent comment to mine brought it up.

> People want temporary foreign workers--who immigrated here in unprecedented numbers in recent years--to leave the country, not anyone who has darker skin.

I'm not very familiar with Canadian immigration. But if they are temporary foreign workers, they by definition shouldn't have a citizenship and instead just a (temporary) work visa. Also, I wouldn't call that immigration, hence it also isn't remigration. The challenge should just be, to no longer extend the visas and not fuck up the economy, right?
I suspect they would have preferred to prevent immigration entirely, though I cannot speak on their behalf.

> overall the country is basically empty.

Because much of the landmass is uninhabitable. For instance, Nunavut is about 20% larger than Alaska, yet has less than one tenth its population - because most of the province is tundra. Even building a road through it is iffy - a city? Forget it.
zebrafish are trivial, they are basically tropical fish that were repurposed for scientific research. temperature, ph, feeding, and cleaning the tank are the key steps.

Maintaining a population of zebrafish for scientific research is a bit more challenging; you need to maintain a continuous environment, adhere to a protocol, etc, to reduce all the variables that would your make your research results less reproducible.

zebrafish are imho one of the truly great model organisms- more interesting to work with and more convenient for many things. If I hadn't picked tardigrades for my microscopy/computer vision projects, I would have gone with zebrafish.
I don’t mean to discount any other work. I have already disclaimed that I don’t work in academia and rely on second-hand feedback from my classmates (in Europe)—for example, the Fortran implementation of Yoshida’s method from N years ago that nobody could modify, or the pressure for publication. Building (or learning) a new rendering engine would be a losing strategy in an academic career, as it is a much more difficult path to getting published. There are far fewer postdoc positions than PhD positions, and rendering skills won’t help in this competition.

Regarding the work of Ralf Kaehler: I have seen his renderings and looked through his articles, but to the best of my knowledge, no source code is publicly available. I don’t consider it fair to count it as something actively used in the field, beyond his lab and affiliated projects.

Disclaimer: that doesn't mean that there are no others, but their availability to researchers is limited to be widely spread.

I actually think the comment you're replying to is somewhat mistaken. It's true that the majority of Canadian immigrants do have to compete on education, job prospects, language skills, etc.; but there's a sizable chunk who are admitted for humanitarian or family reunification reasons and are not held to that standard. There are also a lot of people on temporary work and student visas. I think these groups are the source of a lot of the animosity.

Here's an official government source which says that ~40% of immigrants in 2023 are not in the "middle-income range or above", i.e. they are low-income. [1] The same source says that 75k out of the 450k admitted were refugees.

Yeah, there are surely aspects of the immigration program(s) to criticize, but the racism aspect has been either totally unchanged or decreased over time, from my observation. Though, maybe that's unsurprising considering: "Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada: 49.3 percent of its residents are not native English speakers, 47.8 percent are native speakers of neither English nor French, and 54.5 percent of residents belong to visible minority groups." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver
That's not the same thing. A more adequate comparison would be to say that you promised 30 people they can have a burger, but can only produce 5 burgers per minute. If everyone show up at exactly the same time, you won't be able to satisfy them all (they'll have to wait). But overall you can consider that the probability of such thing happening is small enough to take the "gamble".

I didn’t follow that argument, where would reflection be used here? Was the problem that if parentlib 1.0.0 used reflection on childlib 1.0.0 then potentially bumping childlib to 1.0.1 would cause it to completely break the functionality of parentlib?

In that case yes, that’s what I’d expect would happen. And I’d still think it’s useful functionality.
>When you couple that with astronomical housing prices and a stagnant economy

When you compare Canada, the US or some of the higher immigration countries in Europe to developed countries without immigration you'd wish you'd have price increase problems.

Japan, sometimes hailed as an alternative to immigration is now so poor and old that middle class Westerners travel there like they traveled to a middle income country twenty years ago. If you think Canada is stagnant you haven't been to places where a quarter of the population is aged over 60.

Immigration problems and friction are real but they absolutely pale to the economic disaster that low birth rate aging economies experience. Without significant migration you're looking forward to decades of deflation, politics dominated by people who raise pensions and basically no entrepreneurship. Cultural and housing problems are fixable (just build more housing), dying out is not.

If so, you reduced them into a caricature, and you should have instead said "that guy behaved in the manner of an asshole, though I trust that he is otherwise a fully-actualized individual with a life of his own, and with factors outside my visibility that impact his decisions and behaviors."
This isn't the true problem. The old and new immigrants aren't even really that different. They are mostly from India like they were for the past 15-ish years and more.

The real true difference is that the economy and job market flipped, and now there are layoffs, fierce job competition, and inflation. That type of environment makes people generally jealous and angry at others, and so there is a new focus on immigrants (when they probably haven't changed themselves much, I mean why would they?)

I have a BIL who immigrated to Canada and most of my family immigrated to the US.

In the US most immigration sentiment is around illegal immigrants and fear of crime. In Canada, up until COVID there was basically no ill sentiment towards immigrants because no illegal immigrants and not really much immigrant crime.

COVID flipped the job markets and economy, so people turned their eyes to skilled immigrants. Most Americans are frankly not that skilled as workers, have lower educational attainment than Canadians, it's a more rural, spread out population, etc. Plus the illegal immigration is still a bigger gripe, so they never turned as much on skilled immigrants during the downfall. Canada turned sharply and many who moved there and followed all the rules feel the anger of the population towards them is way higher than they expected (or feel they deserve).

A lot of people claim the immigrants don't want to integrate, but it's largely untrue. These are usually some of the most Westernized out of their peer groups from India already, to even consider immigrating to Canada / US. They also tend to be wealthier to afford the tuition to do so. That makes people happy when the economy is good, but it sucks when jobs are scarce.

Is this referring to the complete ordinary fact that corporations only pay tax on profits (Income - Expenses)? Or is there something else here? For example, is every company getting a labor "subsidy", since they deduct the amount of employee pay? I'm not up to speed on oil well drilling. Are the costs of drilling new wells deducted in the same calendar year as it was drilled? Or do you have to amortize it over say 20 years?

It is important to differentiate between immigrants vs temporary workers and foreign students. What Canadians seem to have issue with is the latter, which is being abused by Canadian companies.

The anger should be aimed at the rich in Canada abusing the system, as well as the paid for politicians enabling the abuse. It shouldn’t be aimed at the newcomers.
