While I do admire Unsloth (especially their https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-GGUF binarizations), the linked blog post looks like written by AI from notes (unless a human author acquired this taste from interactions with chatbots).
What’s with the all the hate for AI assisted writing on HackerNews? It’s a tool and people use tools all the time. It saves TIME and helps in improving coherence of one’s articles.
It destroys the previously implicit contract that the writer actually spent a decent amount of thought and time into the writing, and that the ideas expressed are theirs and original.
I don’t mind good usage of LLM assisted writing, but if the author can’t even be bothered identifying the most obvious AI tells, I use it as a proxy that the author probably but very little effort into the article.
It’s also often a horribly verbose style, where the same ideas could be presented with 20% of the prose.
It’s also ruining the entire experience on web communities (although here on HN the moderation team seems to get a hold of keeping them at bay at this point, much appreciated).
All in all, it’s objectively a net negative for the readers, and serves only the author.
I prefer original, less coherent articles that are genuine and where I know the ideas expressed are really the author’s and not the LLM’s inference.
Last but not least, I don’t think the grandparent you’re replying to was particularly hateful in the grand scheme of things.
Because AI writing is lazy and moreover, I don’t want to know the AIs opinion on something, I can get that myself, if I want to read someone’s article I want to hear that persons words and that persons opinions.
If someone has no opinions or unique insight then why would I listen to them or read their content.
Again, if I want the AIs view on something I can open up Claude and ask them myself, why bother reading generated articles that took 10 seconds for someone else to prompt?
nice writeup! looking forward to doing some more training as soon as i get some more data sorted. it'll be a custom arch, but i'll probably shoehorn it into unsloth for a speed boost.

Oh thanks :) We're also going to add MTP support soon for Qwen3.6!
90% of it is fully human done - the maths, algos, code snippets, screenshots & benchmarks are done / conducted by us and NVIDIA :)
We did use AI to fix spelling errors, and spice up the intro a bit + made some nice plots using Chat (ours would look horrible lol)

The intro was spiced up (I guess we won't do it from now on :)) but the rest 90% maths, benchmarks, code, explanations etc are fully done by us!
