xAI? more like ex-AI

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@SawyerMerritt xAI will be dissolved as a separate company, so it will just be SpaceXAI, the AI products from SpaceX

just learned the origin of the name claude 😬

p.s. did they give up?

NEWS: xAI plans to supply tens of thousands of GPUs to coding startup Cursor to train its upcoming Composer 2.5 AI model, marking a strategic shift toward providing cloud computing services to third-party developers.

The arrangement, according to Business Insider, allows Cursor to leverage xAI's massive infrastructure to develop advanced coding capabilities while providing xAI with a new revenue stream to offset data center costs. https://t.co/kJqJguR7eg

if A, then they should crack down on the Goodhart-ed objective and remove it entirely

if B, they will instead crack down on it by using the Goodharting as an excuse to add checks like query uniqueness that mostly optimize for distillation, but might have handwavy benefit to real coding

[Diogo Almeida @CompleteSkeptic]

Conspiracy theory - what seems more likely:
A. meta doesn't know that you get what you optimize for
B. they want this to happen as an excuse to get a ton of usage from anthropic that looks real and isn't an organized distillation effort

IMO B seems way more likely (especially considering the pressure to give the impression they have a SOTA model)

Over a recent 30-day period, total usage on the dashboard topped 60 trillion tokens.

I'm going to be at founders you should know (https://t.co/I31NswWATg), to reveal a tiny bit more to the world about what we do 🤐🤏 You could sign up to watch, or just assume it will be 🔥 and apply before everyone else (https://t.co/32Qos5loVA)

it's funny how many people wrote up huge predictions for MCP without even looking into how LLM performance degrades when you add even 10 tools to them

[Diogo Almeida @CompleteSkeptic]

Bad news for the "current LLMs are reliable enough, we just need the right wrapper" crowd: https://t.co/z0oV7eKv8B

congrats @OpenAI on the SearchGPT launch

[Diogo Almeida @CompleteSkeptic]

@swannodette @RobStuttaford @nikitonsky It also had very prominent benchmarks which made a big difference in React.js adoption IIRC.

@ArgesRic @swannodette Finally decided to join! Thanks for showing @swannodette the thread! He had great input!

[Diogo Almeida @CompleteSkeptic]

@swannodette (OP here) I have to say that Om has changed quite a bit since we've left! ref-cursors would've solved our biggest issue with Om
