Jack Dorsey looks like Mr Gone (RIP Sam Keith)
So to follow up on this, I've caught it in action. Models, when quantized a bit, just do a bit more poorly with short contexts. Even going from f32 (as trained) to bf16 (as usually run) to q8 tends to do okay for "normal" context windows. And q4 you start feeling like "this model is a little stupid and gets stuck sometimes” (it is! It's just that it's still mostly careening about in the space of "plausible" most of the time. Not good guesswork, but still in the zone). With long contexts, the probability of parameters collapsing to zero are higher, so the more context the more likelihood you are to see brokenness.
And then at Q2 (2 bits per parameter) or Q1, the model falls apart completely. Parameters collapse to zero easily. You start seeing "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy” sorts of behavior, with intense and unscrutinized repetition, followed by a hard stop when it just stops working.
And quantization is a parameter that a model vendor can turn relatively easily. (they have to regenerate the model from the base with more quantization, but it's a data transformation on the order of running a terabyte through a straightforward and fast process, not like training).
If you have 1000 customers and enough equipment to handle the requests of 700, going from bf16 to q8 is a no-brainer. Suddenly you can handle the load and have a little spare capacity. They get worse results, probably pay the same per token (or they're on a subscription that hides the cost anyway so you are even freer to make trade-offs. There's a reason that subscription products are kinda poorly described.)
It's also possible for them to vary this across a day: use models during quieter periods? Maybe you get an instance running a bf16 quantization. If you use it during a high use period? You get a Q4 model.
Or intelligent routing is possible. No idea if anyone is doing this, but if they monitor what you send a bit, and you generally shoot for an expensive model for simple requests? They could totally substitute a highly quantized version of the model to answer the question.
There are •so many tricks• that can be pulled here. Some of them very reasonable to make, some of them treading into outright misleading or fraudulent, and it's weirdly hard to draw the line between them.

The timing of this exhibit feels resonant – and a bit ominous.
In January, news broke that Kerouac’s 37-metre-long first-draft scroll of
"On the Road" will be up for auction.
When it was last for sale in 2001, Carolyn Cassady
– Neal Cassady’s former wife
– denounced the auction as “blasphemy”, saying the scroll belonged in a library, not a private collection.
"Jack loved public libraries,” she said at the time, adding:

Jack Kerouac’s original typescript scroll for "On the Road"
– the 37 metre (121 ft) long roll of paper on which he typed his defining Beat novel in a three-week burst
– will go under the hammer at Christie’s in March, with a sale estimate of £1.8m to £2.9m ($2.5m to $4m).
The scroll is one of the centrepieces of the Jim Irsay Collection,
one of the most extensive private collections of music, literary,
film and sports memorabilia ever assembled.

"But should we be surprised by this chaos? As senior editor Jack Mirkinson writes, “The president is a congenital liar who loses a little more brain function with each passing day.” Perhaps there’s another reason we’re now at war, however: Israel has been longing for one. And “that has the potential to erode both the US-Israeli relationship and Israel’s already shaky standing with the American people,” Mirkinson notes."

So... stupid question, but given these days it's almost impossible to buy a smartphone with a headphone jack, it seems everyone's expected to use bluetooth headphones. Yet... all bluetooth headphones I've ever tried have a very noticeable delay. This obviously doesn't matter for audio only content, but... pretty much means watching video with headphones when you expect audio video to be in sync does not work. Is that... to be expected?...
The next episode of #SNL, episode 1004, on 4/4 (or for Europeans, 4.4.) will be hosted by Jack Black with musical performer Jack White.
