Weird, they've always been good when I've used them. :/ Contact them on the help page and see if they'll sort things out for you. My brother accidentally created an account a few weeks ago, but ShopTo doesn't allow multiple accounts per household, so my account ended up being disabled. Fortunately, I contacted them about it, and it was restored within less than an hour.

Not sure if this has been mentioned. They have run out of third party vouchers http://forums.steamp...d.php?t=2428973 so unless you want valve coupons there is no point crafting coal.

I wish I would've read this post before I crafted 7 goal yesterday :pinch:

I don't think it would have made much difference. Most people who posted here about crafting coal got vouchers.

I got CS:S when I crafted yesterday. Too bad, I already have that game. I don't play CS though.

I'll gladly take the Valve vouchers off your hands. You never know, they might actually come in handy. :p

I doubt they will come in handy. Valves crappy coupons are only good until march 1st. And even if valve released a title in between now and then it can't be used on it anyway.

Ahh yeah, you're right there. And looking through what it can be used on, I've just realised that I now own every Valve game and expansion. :o The only thing on the applicable list I haven't got there is Garry's Mod, and that's ?1.49 right now, anyway.

I gave up with that site. Luckily it's part of the encore so i've got it through steam for a couple of ?'s more but at least it worked! Now to wait for it to download! :/

So, at first, I was all like "Yeah, I'll save my money this year and dodge the steam sale"...

and then Valve was all like "Here's Arkham City, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and LA Noire for less than ?40"

... and then I was all like...

I used to have all my steam games installed on my hard drive, and I had one HDD dedicated for just games. Now with hard drive prices up, I had to cut back on the number of games I have installed. My steam folder is now 250GB (on the 500GB HDD). Luckily I have a spare 1TB HDD, down to 450GB free between both drives. Hell, I'm contemplating buying 240 GB SSD for the games.

So, I'm left with:

1x - Glowfish (Indie game)

4x - Holiday Coal

2x - 33% OFF Valve

I'm interested in the Monkey Island series, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., The Witcher, Deus Ex, Titan Quest, Mount & Blade, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

When I say "The Witcher", "Deus Ex", and such, I mean the first game in the series.

Or, if you would like to trade for an Indie game, that'd be cool, too. (I realize that what I have for trading is not much).

If you are interested, let me know through Private.

Would you like to trade Glowfish for a copy of The Ship? :)

    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.

      Regarding the AI photo, I LOVE AI in that regard, you ask it what you want and it gives you a lovey photo in under a minute, that would taken me an hour to make in photoshop and it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. 2 nights ago I spent a couple hours collaborating with AI.  I did not say write me an article. I would write one or 2  paragraphs, then I would ask it to clean it up so it read better but still keeps the information I was trying to convey.  Rinse repeat.
