It scares me sometimes how little work is left from here to AGI. All roadblocks are so dumb and fixable—symptoms of AI’s recent arrival. it’s all so clearly just a matter of time

Spend of OpenAI vs Anthropic vs Open (Vercel AI Gateway, last 2 months) • Anthropic still #1 in spend, but went 69% → 40% • OpenAI: 10% → 24% in spend • GPT-6 Astra + GPT 5.6 Sol are ripping • OpenAI now leads in tokens # • Kimi K3 + DeepSeek took ~half of An…

Fable 5.1 is under-hyped because it's so expensive It is VASTLY SUPERIOR to Opus 5.5 on very complex codebases Not just that, it one shots hard bugs fixes and features without a lot of prompt itreation Opus 5.5 shines in contrast to Opus 5 which was a terribl…

Can our TPUs survive and operate in space? Well, we're going to find out. Project Suncatcher is hitching a ride aboard @SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission, testing a prototype satellite built in partnership with @planet One small step for TPUs....

I propose this as the official replacement for the famous (and now saturated) METR Long Task Horizon chart that used to be in every AI presentation.

If you believe the risk is coming from 1-3 people in a garage with no money and no compute, you just don't understand this technology and haven't learned anything this summer. Risk comes from the asymmetry of capabilities created by secret labs training front…

Using "think" to describe what an LLM does reminds me of the 16th century, when astronomers didn't really believe in the heliocentric model, but used it for calculations anyway because the math was simpler. We'll start by calling it thinking, then gradually a…

At some point in evolutionary history, matter learned to feel. We don't know how. It wouldn't be scientific to dismiss the possibility that it could happen again. (I don't believe it happens in current AI systems, because they don't have the charactistics I w…

I just got the first copies of my new book, Co-Existence (out October 20) & they look great! Also, there is a fun pre-order bonus: if you pre-order, you get a code to an AI interview that will help you figure out how to use your human advantages with AI.

This is a big enough problem that there's not just one startup idea here, but several. For example, there will probably be one variant meant to filter out agents, but another meant to welcome them in an orderly way. This also seems an idea you could build mor…

Did you know you can learn interesting things from computations in real rat neurons? I love what @AlexKsendzovsky and team are doing at @BioComputingCo are doing. [Quoting @AlexKsendzovsky]: What happens when neurons meet silicon? A new world emerges. Partne…

More ways to build with MiniMax-H3. 🐮 Great to see model optimization and AMD inference engineering come together to give creators a faster feedback loop.⚡️ [Quoting @NunchuxAI]: 5s of video, generated in 1.3s! Nunchux brings @MiniMax’s MiniMax-H3 to @AMD MI…

A $500k engineer costs $2,000 per working day. If $200/day of LLM tokens makes them 20% more productive (which is absolutely true today), that’s one of the easiest ROI in the company. The expensive thing isn’t tokens. It’s underutilized engineers.

⚡️ As LLM reinforcement learning scales to larger GPU clusters and more training data, training efficiency becomes a first-order concern. Our new research revisits classical critical-batch-size theory and extends it to online LLM RL, where the model generates…

Sol 6 is terrible but Luna 6 is very good! Luna is an extremely good small model that is close to free 4x cheaper than Grok or MuseSpark with superior performance Beats DeepSeek Flash 🚀

ShellPerfBench. I'm really neurotic about the startup time of a new shell session. Opus 5.5 found a lot of really great optimizations other models missed. Anon, anytime you open a new terminal, you might be silently suffering. Tell your agent to optimize .𝚣…
