The Econ Index now tracks artifacts—the primary output Claude produces in a session. We analyzed Claude conversations and compared how often each artifact was used for work, coursework, or personal life. Blogging is mostly a work activity; translation falls in between.

Local open-weight LLMs: 30B MoE sweet spot at 40 tok/sec
By
–
Have been taking different local open-weight LLMs for a test drive in different harnesses (Qwen-Code, Codex, Claude Code). 30B Mixture-of-Expert models are kind of a nice sweet spot and can solve challenging problems. And they get roughly 40 tok/sec on a Mac or DGX Spark, which
