I'm fairly sure it's just luck of the draw if you get put onto a quant'd model or not. I've seen luna xhigh change intelligence fairly drastically on a day to day basis.
Really this is the base problem. You have zero idea where and how your prompt is being executed.
If for example AWS sells you a 2xLarge server there may be some variability in performance but it's going to be averaged out very well.
When it comes to AI services executing your model there is absolutely no information on what and with what settings your model is being executed. Hell, you have no idea if it even is the model you're paying for. Add that models are not deterministic so variability can be pretty large.
This leads to a common set of dynamics that induce cheating behavior in humans. For example, is there a mix of different hardware. Does lessor hardware use different settings? How do you know xhigh is what your prompt ran under. Anthropic has a proven history of running your prompt silently under different models.
This is a huge mess that needs and will be regulated or sued heavily over. Hell, with as many people out there that hate AI it might be easier than one thinks to have a state sue the providers on this and elicit a huge amount of discovery.
Assembly is honestly very easy to learn, especially ARM assembly, for the basics (even if whole-program assembly is still difficult). In the worst case, you end up learning something interesting.
I think ultimately 90% of the time, Luna XHigh is basically as good as you need, as long as you're willing to step in occasionally before it creates an architectural disaster.
FWIW, there’s a famous(-ish) fantasy author with aphantasia (Mark Lawrence), and I also have aphantasia, yet I absolutely love reading and if I would have to choose only one entertainment for the rest of my live, it’d be reading.
But I can’t stand elaborate descriptions (it’s almost always landscapes, rarely do authors feel the need to describe anything in as excruciating details as landscapes), which might be related to those descriptions not building up to some kind of image in my head.
This is quite common if you have full on aphantasia.
I have a friend who only reads fiction for which he's seen the accompanying show first because he otherwise has no visual reference for the characters and environments.

Is it? I’ve never really researched common aphantasia behavior, but I’ve seen many mentions of aphantasia in fantasy/scifi subreddits where those of us with it still love reading. I can imagine (heh) it, but I wonder if there’s some kind of data regarding it?
I don't know. I speak mostly from my own experience and that of my friends.
For me personally reading is still interesting and can be very engaging, but due to the logic of the story, characters, and universe; for lengthy descriptions of the appearance of the environment or the characters I quickly glaze over and get bored because they just don't do much for me (unless the appearances have some semantic significance in the story).
