So accurate

🚨 BILL GURLEY: “I would encourage people to read as much as they can about Anthropic … I don't think they think they're writing software. I think they're midwifing a deity.”

JASON: “I know some of these folks … They believe they're so powerful, that they can create God.”

@alex_whedon @GaryMarcus thoughts? Seems like if it was truly ground up they would be willing to share — my guess is it is finetuned open model with a new attention mechanism.

Where did the data come from?

Nvidia is selling shovels. Nvidia is funding the miners. Nvidia is feeding the boomtown. And Nvidia is making money off the IOUs that the miners have written to pay for their next shovels.

Until the day comes when those IOUs no longer clear.

Find those IOUs. Watch them closely.

I’m so old, I remember when the socialists wanted relief from drudgery through labor saving devices.

@ajzilli @thewebAI a good afternoon.

[David Stout @Davidstout]

@thewebAI now has 2 of the top 3 RAG models on ViDoRe.

And both can run on an iPhone or your laptop.

Our smallest model (4B) scores within 0.1 nDCG of @nvidia's nemotron-colembed-vl-8b-v2.

That’s within margin of error.

Same retrieval quality.
Half the model.

For a long time, multimodal RAG looked like a scaling problem:

Bigger models
More GPUs
More data center spend

That assumption just broke.

We’re now seeing:
- frontier-level retrieval (64.48 - 63.49 nDCG)
- real multimodal understanding (documents, not just text)
- running locally

This isn’t just a leaderboard result.
It means:

- your data doesn’t need to leave your device
- latency drops to device speed
- marginal cost goes to zero
- retrieval becomes private by default

The best RAG models now fit in your pocket.
And we’re making them available.

So anyone can build, run, and own their retrieval stack locally.

More open source announcements this afternoon with @thewebAI .

This one is very special.

@ajzilli @USArmy good stuff

[David Stout @Davidstout]

Proud to partner with the @USArmy on Project ARIA.

@thewebAI is contributing to Team Black — building a "Model Armory" that delivers custom AI to soldiers at the tactical edge, on the devices they already carry, no cloud required.

Sovereign AI isn't a talking point. It's a mission requirement.

@sama @yoheinakajima @chrisgpt Great answer @sama really respect your move here.

[Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth]

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Narrative Violation: “Job Postings For Software Engineers Are Rapidly Rising”

[David Stout @Davidstout]

I love my country. The people defending it shouldn't have to negotiate with a tech company for access to AI.

@AnthropicAI is the surveillance state it's warning you about.

I wrote a response.
