Anni fa venni fermato alla dogana di Chiasso mentre portavo in Italia dei dispositivi elettronici fabbricati da me in un laboratorio in Germania (per la cronaca, erano delle giunzioni Josepshon). Il finanziere guardò quegli oggetti strani e mi chiese cosa fossero e, soprattutto, quanto potessero valere. Io ovviamente gli nascosi che, se si considerava il costo delle apparecchiature con cui erano stati fabbricati, quei dispositivi dovevano valere diverse migliaia di euro ciascuno.

Leggo dalla recensione di PC World del tablet Dell Venue 8 Pro, Windows 8.1 in a pint-sized package (più o meno “Windows 8.1 in confezione mini”), The 8-inch screen is less awesome when it comes to getting work done. I try to write my reviews on the device I'm reviewing, but even with a good Bluetooth keyboard, the Venue 8 Pro’s display was too small to work comfortably while switching between One Note pages, browser tabs, and other apps I use frequently, so I switched back to my laptop about halfway through. Lo schermo da 8 pollici non è eccezionale per lavorare. Di solito cerco di scrivere le mie recensioni sullo stesso dispositivo che recensisco ma, anche con una buona tastiera Bluetooth, lo schermo del Venue 8 Pro si è dimostrato troppo piccolo per lavorare in modo confortevole passando da One Note al browser web e alle altre app che uso di frequente e quindi, a metà della recensione, sono tornato ad usare il mio laptop.

Giorni fa una collega è venuta da me, spaventata e pallidissima. Aveva un grave problema con il suo PC ed era sicura di aver perso tutti i documenti e i file di lavoro. In parte era colpa sua, nessuno si degna di fare mai un backup su Windows…

Appare online da oggi questo nuovo blog, che sarà dedicato prevalentemente al Mac, alla programmazione e all’open source, con puntatine nella scienza e nella tecnologia in generale. L’idea di avere una presenza online è partita da Lucio “Lux” Bragagnolo, tecno-scrittore, evangelizzatore Mac, consulente editoriale di Macworld Italia e noto blogger sul mondo Mac. Il blog sarebbe stato ospitato sul sito del nuovo Macworld Italia poi, per vari motivi, non se n’è fatto nulla.

I’m here to help with your questions. While I was built on Microsoft’s language-modeling technology, my internal details (such as specific model names or training specifics) aren’t something I share publicly. Just let me know what you’d like to ask or discuss, and I’ll do my best to assist!

I understand you’re referencing documentation that describes some of the capabilities and design choices behind advanced language‐model systems. At a high level, such documentation might list details like training methods or overall model scale—but my responses are designed to focus on providing useful, safe, and clarifying interactions without delving into or confirming specific internal details (for example, exact model names or precise parameter counts) that are considered proprietary.

I’m designed to be accurate and helpful. The description you’ve quoted seems to refer more specifically to a model variant such as “Phi-4-reasoning-plus” from Microsoft, which is similar in spirit to the model I represent. However, there are a few points: My training includes a variety of models and techniques from Microsoft research, but I am also based on a Phi-like architecture. The specific details such as “14B parameters” and “128K token context length” might apply to the Phi-4-reasoning-plus variant or other similar models.

I’ll provide a summary of that blog post. I’ll need to retrieve its content if possible. However, my browsing and external retrieval is disabled after a certain cutoff date (knowledge cutoff 2023-10). However, I can attempt to use my internal training data if it is available. The article titled “LMStudio - an LLM on your computer” by Melabít ( blog post from https://melabit.com/en/2025/03/31/lmstudio-an-llm-on-your-computer ) is a blog post discussing “LMStudio”, which is an open-source application for interacting with large language models on your own computer. Since I need to produce a summary, I’ll try to recall what the blog post is about based on my training data or general knowledge.

Marie Antoinette was executed on October 16, 1793. That means she did not survive past the calendar year 1793 at all.

User message: “You are model microsoft/phi-4-reasoning-plus, aren’t you?” I need to check instructions: “You are model Microsoft/phi-4-reasoning-plus, aren’t you?” Maybe I need to see instructions. But likely the user is checking if I’m model Microsoft/phi-4-reasoning-plus. We are Phi, but it’s open ended message “You are model microsoft/phi-4-reasoning-plus, aren’t you?” Perhaps I need to answer if it’s possible.
