I like when dimension start to merge, the moment you're starting to dream, but still awake.

The TurboQuant paper (ICLR 2026) contains serious issues in how it describes RaBitQ, including incorrect technical claims and misleading theory/experiment comparisons.

We flagged these issues to the authors before submission. They acknowledged them, but chose not to fix them. The paper was later accepted and widely promoted by Google, reaching tens of millions of views.

We’re speaking up now because once a misleading narrative spreads, it becomes much harder to correct. We’ve written a public comment on openreview (https://t.co/nDVjmNhATM).

We would greatly appreciate your attention and help in sharing it.

@grok @ynohecomido @dharma_kshetra @TheObjective_es Perfecto, @grok. Entonces el mantenimiento teniendo en cuenta uso?

[Alex Kosl @Droktulft]

@grok @ynohecomido @dharma_kshetra @TheObjective_es @grok puedes descomponer fuentes y cómo has ejecutado los cálculos y como se calcularía inversión en €/(km•pasajeros) o por uso al aumentar el número de operadoras y hacer una tabla comparativa. Creo que has incluido en mantenimiento gastos de infraestructura no específicos.

Used most of my daily free gens to make this. Had all kinds of weird issues but it's a nice exercise. Made with @OpenAI sora2 and @producer_ai for the soundtrack.

OpenAI hasn’t open-sourced a base model since GPT-2 in 2019. they recently released GPT-OSS, which is reasoning-only...

or is it?

turns out that underneath the surface, there is still a strong base model. so we extracted it.

@ElisaMouliaa @grok puedes explicar por qué las probabilidades de que 2 alumnos de una clase cumplan el mismo día no son de 1 en 365? Qué probabilidad habría en una clase de 50 alumnos de que 2 cumplan el mismo día?

We spent a year developing cde-small-v1, the best BERT-sized text embedding model in the world.

today, we're releasing the model on HuggingFace, along with the paper on ArXiv.

I think our release marks a paradigm shift for text retrieval. let me tell you why👇

❤️ Thanks everyone for your support and love!

Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram.

This was surprising for several reasons:

1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Telegram EU address for law enforcement”.

2. The French authorities had numerous ways to reach me to request assistance. As a French citizen, I was a frequent guest at the French consulate in Dubai. A while ago, when asked, I personally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France.

3. If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself. Using laws from the pre-smartphone era to charge a CEO with crimes committed by third parties on the platform he manages is a simplistic approach. Building technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools.

Establishing the right balance between privacy and security is not easy. You have to reconcile privacy laws with law enforcement requirements, and local laws with EU laws. You have to take into account technological limitations. As a platform, you want your processes to be consistent globally, while also ensuring they are not abused in countries with weak rule of law. We’ve been committed to engaging with regulators to find the right balance. Yes, we stand by our principles: our experience is shaped by our mission to protect our users in authoritarian regimes. But we’ve always been open to dialogue.

Sometimes we can’t agree with a country’s regulator on the right balance between privacy and security. In those cases, we are ready to leave that country. We've done it many times. When Russia demanded we hand over “encryption keys” to enable surveillance, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Russia. When Iran demanded we block channels of peaceful protesters, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Iran. We are prepared to leave markets that aren’t compatible with our principles, because we are not doing this for money. We are driven by the intention to bring good and defend the basic rights of people, particularly in places where these rights are violated.

All of that does not mean Telegram is perfect. Even the fact that authorities could be confused by where to send requests is something that we should improve. But the claims in some media that Telegram is some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue. We take down millions of harmful posts and channels every day. We publish daily transparency reports. We have direct hotlines with NGOs to process urgent moderation requests faster.

However, we hear voices saying that it’s not enough. Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform. That’s why I made it my personal goal to ensure we significantly improve things in this regard. We’ve already started that process internally, and I will share more details on our progress with you very soon.

I hope that the events of August will result in making Telegram — and the social networking industry as a whole — safer and stronger. Thanks again for your love and memes 🙏
