PhD student, NSF/NRT BIOE Fellow @ UCSB ECE that can still dunk 🏀. Building BisQue Ultra — a distributed agentic system that runs real science.

@sama Take your time man, you are shipping AGI not another iPhone bump update.

[Amil @Amilworks]

Astra launch is on par with the iPhone 4 release. Defining moment.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@nc_frey How can PhD students get access?

[Amil @Amilworks]

@giffmana @Emy_Aze @JFPuget @RheaSukthanker @CameronPashmina That is insane work calling Lucas Beyer a bum. Bro damn near reinvented computer vision. If he read the title of my paper AND gave me feedback, I’m putting that on my CV.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@sama Little compared to Astra.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@thsottiaux What was the issue(s)? Always cool to hear the engineering behind problems 99 percent of us might not ever face.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@thinkymachines Why spend more time post-training an older architecture for agentic performance when you have an all star team that can build a better arch and better training paradigm.

@ShamsCharania Lakers could’ve had a mid range god.

@LaFanForever24 @BannedMacMahon @mcten They prayin on our downfall.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@Suhail I am running DeepSeek V4 Flash in production. It’s been amazing for us, most of the engineering was our agentic distributed system.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@LiamFedus @jietang So continuous pretraining is pseudo-continuous learning and post-training is what mobilizes parameters into useful units of reasoning?

[Amil @Amilworks]

@jietang I am witnessing this firsthand with one of my PhD projects, the pre-training holds immense value, especially as you trace and follow where the model is underperforming. I accidentally left my model pretraining using a different sampling method, now I have hope I’ll graduate.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@sama This will probably save quite a bit of money on training, hence diverting more resources to inference and perfecting Codex. Maybe even potentially building out other products/projects/side quests.

@nc_frey @AnthropicAI Can you make a post about how Anthropic acquired your bio startup? Or I can DM my questions.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@gabriberton When do you plan on starting interviews?

[Amil @Amilworks]

@khanhthanhdev @sqx_saqlain Hope you get in. I believe in you.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@FilipTrhlik @sqx_saqlain Hope you get in. I believe in you.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@99dororo @sqx_saqlain I believe in you.

[Amil @Amilworks]

@sqx_saqlain I believe in you.
