AI can build an app in an afternoon. But getting it safely into other people's hands is a whole other challenge!
This is the problem that I've been working on these past few months. I'm proud to finally share how we solved it with Block App Kit!

Over recent weeks, the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence has declassified documents revealing America’s deep involvement in gain-of-function and high-containment biological research.
Today I lodged an Order for the Production of Documents in the Australian Senate requesting key departments and agencies including Health, Foreign Affairs, Defence, CSIRO, and the Office of National Intelligence to release documents relating to any Australian participation, funding, or collaboration in overseas high-containment labs, gain-of-function research, dual-use pathogen work, and partnerships with major players and foreign entities.
Let’s see if the Labor Government vote to produce documents which may shine a light on this dark chapter.

What if you could take three completely different model families… and distill them into one tiny model? 🤯
📜 Paper: https://t.co/K2iKD4xFvp
MOPD (Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation) has become a standard procedure in post-training. We already distill multiple specialized variants of the same model into a single set of weights.
But what if we could go further - and distill models from entirely different families? Turns out, it is possible.
Today we’re releasing a paper on cross-tokenizer distillation - our first steps in this exciting direction. 📄
We distilled Qwen3-4B, Phi-4-Mini, and Llama-3B into Llama-3.2-1B.
MMLU jumped from 32.05 → 46.32 when using multiple teachers. 📈
The team is now working on Nemo-RL integration so the community can try this method in their own settings. Plus, we are scaling experiments up. 🚀
Today we’re releasing 1-bit and Ternary Bonsai Image 4B.
A new family of image-generation models designed to run high-quality diffusion inference on local hardware: from laptops to phones.
@MarcoMagarioAI I quit traditional producing a couple years ago after making a few features cos I knew this was coming. Walked away from a multi million dollar fund cos the partners said AI won’t be a thing. You’ve validated my decision ten fold. Wish you all the success!
HOLY GRAiL — a comedy set in Renaissance Florence, 1503.
Written, created, and scored by me in ten days. Entirely AI-generated.
This film got me noticed by @thedorbrothers. I have the honour to work with them now. It’s gonna be a crazy journey.
