I actually think tranched rounds are a perfect encapsulation of what Peter Thiel said: "Any competitive round is, by definition, underpriced." If you have $100M of interest, but with a Tier 1 leading you have $500M of interest then the Tier 1 getting a lower price is just rewarding them for the 5x expansion of capital the founder is getting access to. Doesn't mean they're good, bad, or ugly. Just an accurate representation of incentives at work in a FOMO-dependent capital allocation system.

We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration. The aim isn't to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal.

People at Anthropic keep telling me they can't coordinate to slow down because of anti-trust, but I've talked to leading lawyers who disagree. Meta spent $2,400,000,000 on lawyers in a single quarter fighting charges that its products hurt kids. How much has Anthropic spent on this anti-trust thing?

@TheGuySwann They could have a premium on LLM employees - they work 24/7 and do not take sick days, moan or have employment rights.

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).

I worked for this company in 2011. Their game was to be the only marketplace in town and use oligopoly power to maximize margin by charging obscenely and pushing creator payouts to $0. Today, obliterated by AI. The NYSE is delisting them. Karma does catch up, occasionally.

The White House Accord on Super Intelligence

Emad is a good friend and one of the people I've learned the most from on AI, so having him say this about The Everything Code means a lot. Thanks @EMostaque Small ask... if youre planning to pick up a copy, consider pre-ordering it rather than waiting. Pre-orders count towards the rankings, and rankings are what put the book in front of people who've never heard of me. Ive put an enormous amount of work into this, and I think it can help a lot of people... You'll get it on launch day, and it makes a real difference to me. Thanks!

🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham says he will create a "global code" for AI so Britain can "capture the benefits" "We led the world's first industrial revolution from the Midlands and the North of England. So why can't we lead the next one? We can, and we will"

Impressive. This set of talks, along with the new America dot gov website, has the unmistakable feel of an Apple launch event. They're rebooting the federal government as a tech startup. Several observations. (1) First, with this new AI interface to the entire federal government, if it works as promised, there won't be a single American who can't say their life wasn't helped at least in part by AI, or that the benefits accrued solely to zillionaires. This in itself cannily mitigates anti-datacenter sentiment. (2) Second, Joe Gebbia and Marco Rubio's talks on simplifying name changes and passport filings introduce a completely new era where the US government is actually launching tangible features that benefit users. (3) Third, this launch event in and of itself may visibly drive reform. It could become much more important than the State of the Union. Unlike laws, code is user-visible, and can be instantly audited by the public, as Obama found out with the failed obamacare website launch. So: the annual America dot gov event may be substance, whereas SOTU is traditionally optics. I wouldn't be surprised to see the President present at the next one. (4) Fourth, this kind of event is a perfect example of where tech and red cooperate best. They both hate bureaucracy. Automating paperwork with code reduces the power of statists over both capitalists and nationalists. It's also hard to undo by other admins: once you digitize a process, hard to turn it back to paper. (5) Fifth, it's an obvious point perhaps, but think about how much influence YCombinator has had in 20 years. From Gebbia's Airbnb joining their 2009 batch to a complete overhaul of the user interface of the US bureaucracy, and thus the US government. (6) Sixth, this is another take on the network state. The functional part of the US (the network, meaning tech) is merging with and partially reforming the dysfunctional part (the state, meaning bureaucracy) by automating 20th century paper forms. As a tech startup, there will no doubt be bugs and user issues and so on, but unlike with paper laws those issues will be visible and the code fixes will be verifiable. A new era of AI America. Rooting for them.

Made with Claude Opus 5.5. The fearmongering about AI always makes us forget that NOTHING WENT FOOM, as was always predicted. Send this to your doomer friend who has a very high P(Doom). Accelerate.

Australia has been hacked. 'And today, I spoke with the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, to express Australia's extreme concern about this incident. And I also expressed my disappointment that it took the company way too long to inform the government what had occurred, and the nature of the way that that notification occurred as well was unacceptable.'

i am very bullish on micro deployments for GPUs. way easier to get them financed. you can do so much with 8 B300 nodes (64 GPUs)!

President Trump announced that he is changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence. I transcribed this live from his address to the UN. 'The United States also rejects any scheme for globalist control of Artificial Intelligence, being spoken of so much now. Here and after officially called Super Intelligence. Changing the name. The use of 'Artificial' makes it sound fake. It makes intelligence sound fake, and it is not fake. It’s actually amazing, the opposite of what they report. From this day forward, all United States documents, and hopefully the world's, will be changed to use the much more accurate term 'Super' as opposed to 'Artificial.' So it’s Super Intelligence.'

AI moves so fast that I thought this book was going to be a year too late. It turns out it's right on time. While I was writing, I kept having to change chapters from "someone should do this" to "someone has done this," and then go talk to the people who had done it. A good example is the chapter on virtual cells. I'd written that we needed large initiatives to build one. By the time I finished, I was writing about the ones that exist — the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's is now the largest and best-funded push to model a human cell. The Eureka Machine is out today. It's about building a full-stack scientific superintelligence: a living map of human knowledge, a model of physical reality, high-fidelity simulations, autonomous labs, and an agent swarm of AI scientists on top. There's no better science to start with than the science of AI itself, because that's where the feedback loop is tightest. Then you expand the aperture to physics, chemistry, and especially pre-clinical biology. This will be the most meaningful application of AI, and one of the most important things humanity does. And it may be the last organic invention we need to make. After that, it starts inventing everything else for us to solve our most pressing problems. While writing, I couldn't let the idea go. Eight of us started @Recursive_SI to go build it. AI is going to massively accelerate science, and unlike most of what gets argued about right now, that isn't zero sum. I hope you all enjoy the book. I look forward to discussing it with you all.

We want the OpenAI API to feature the best model at every price point and to be the best at every modality (text, code, image, video, etc). And then we want you all to come up with great ideas and build them and to get to be happy users. The best ideas will come from you all.

argh i meant VOICE not video :( sorry to dissapoint

We’re working with an independent advisory group of mathematicians to help OpenAI responsibly share advances in AI and mathematics. The group will advise on how we assess and communicate new mathematical results, uphold academic and professional standards, and build tools that support mathematical research and learning. Through this work, we want mathematicians to be at the center of shaping how AI supports mathematical understanding and how its benefits reach the wider community. t.co/QCMFLFlIv8

Ezra is in his less wrong era

🚨 OBAMA ON AI: "If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for. That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing, not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because they’ve got to justify these valuations. So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast. And I would encourage voters to pay attention to this. If somebody does not have a serious plan for how to deal with this, then they’re not meeting the moment, and you should probably look for somebody else."

Les petits Dieux de l'IA sont convaincus de leur impunité. Ils ont acheté des ministres, fait de l'Elysée leur tête de pont, arraché des milliards en promettant des IA souveraines. Si 2027 ne fait pas revenir au peuple le pouvoir, leur pillage les consacrera et nous achevera. x.com/arthurmensch/s…

Update: I’ve now pushed over 5 BILLION tokens through DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. I still haven’t had to reach for Astra or Fable because DeepSeek couldn’t handle a task. I’m using Hermes with three API keys across @CommandCodeAI, @ollama, and @opencode. Super simple setup, and together they give me a ridiculous amount of usage. Cost: $40/month. A week ago I was spending $300/month and constantly thinking about limits. Now I’m throwing billions of tokens at coding agents without thinking twice. At this point, @deepseek_ai isn’t my fallback. It’s my default.

Today, we’re announcing Ternary Bonsai 2 27B. Based on Qwen3.8 27B, Bonsai 2 27B is 9x smaller than its full-precision counterpart while retaining 98.2% of its aggregate benchmark performance. Two months after the first Bonsai 27B release, the biggest change is quality. The footprint remains 5.9 GB, but the gap to full precision has narrowed materially, with particularly strong gains in agentic coding, multimodal reasoning, and long-horizon tool use. Ternary Bonsai 2 27B is available today under Apache 2.0.

We release Needle 3: A Sliceable 8-29MB automation foundation model that can match DeepSeek V4 Flash. One set of weights, every depth from 2 to 20 layers a model of its own, 25-121M parameters at CQ2-bit, built on our Simple Attention Networks and running locally at up to 4k tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5. Needle does not chat. Every turn is a function call: give it the tools your app exposes and it picks the right ones and fills every argument from what the user said, or hand it a schema and it returns a typed record. Ask for something no tool covers and you get an empty list, not a guess. That trade is lets 121M parameters trained on 360B tokens of structured data beat models 10x their size on mobile tool calls and match 2-3x bigger models on structured JSON extraction. It runs on mobiles, wearables, smart home devices, small robots and microcontrollers, with prebuilt engines for macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, iOS, watchOS, tvOS, the browser and WASI hosts.

The Labs need to focus on 10x or 100x their effort on ALIGNMENT. Stop training the models on the vitriol in Facebook or Reddit, and instead train future models on agreed-upon data-sets that align AI with humanity's best future.

Favorite photo and passage: 'Two hundred years of peace will not come for free; you have to do certain things. You wake up, you hit people, you pay them to hit you. Then it’s another subpoena, another lawsuit. The president whose election is your fault is calling. Witness testimony. Congressional hearing. The president whose election isn’t your fault demands you censor the opposition or else there will be new taxes, new investigations. Product review until 3am. Facebook is causing genocide in the Third World. Instagram is responsible for teen suicide. There’s another whistleblower with a book deal. Here comes another Aaron Sorkin movie. You’re behind on AI. No one respects social media or digital advertising. It isn’t rocket ships. It isn’t brain chips or cool cars. The sun still sets on too much of the map, and the map is a prison. Testify. Pay the settlement. Build “personal superintelligence.” Put it in the apps. Put it in sunglasses. This is my impression, at any rate, as he takes the stage in the Terminal Warehouse in a pair of optical Meta AI glasses...'

Day 3 dilemma Another 3-5,000 word blog on something interesting or should I strip it back to 800-1,000 words for wider readership? Should I discuss the equations of AI and get a bit technical or keep it high level and save equations for papers? x.com/EMostaque/stat…

Thoughts on @DarioAmodei's pacing the frontier proposal. I think its well intentioned but has logical flaws, as does our implicit belief intelligence is a crime. Even OpenAI's board weren't powerful enough evaluators, we need to focus on AI internals x.com/i/article/2098…

Can you even imagine the nation state level attacks METR & other eval orgs will come under? Eval orgs also need world class cybersecurity as well as AI talent to do this right, they are not overlapping fields from my experience. x.com/thehackersnews…

🚨 Attackers stole a METR API key and used it for three weeks, consuming credits worth about $600,000. A fail-open bug disabled Google authentication on a public agent dashboard. The attacker prompted an agent to reveal the key and added SSH persistence. How the exposed app was abused: t.co/5LB42Ho5z7

Day 2 of my daily blog I dive deep into @DarioAmodei’s proposal but don’t see how it can logically hold. Intelligence is too often viewed as a crime. I discuss why & what to do about it. Also note OpenAI had embedded eval in 2023 - their board with @hlntnr & others Tough one x.com/emostaque/stat…

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
