[Nathan Benaich @nathanbenaich]

🤓 i'm running an ai usage survey for the @stateofai

the results will be open sourced with the State of AI Report in october '25

it takes 10 mins and i want to hear from everyone, regardless of their level of expertise and usage

thanks!

[Nathan Benaich @nathanbenaich]

i remember first meeting @ChaseLochmiller in jan ‘18 at our @londonai meetup

it was that year he started @CrusoeAI with @Electron_Cowboy

they and the team are exceptionally ambitious - building climate-aligned next-generation ai compute at scale

now for the next chapter 🫡

[Nathan Benaich @nathanbenaich]

is deep learning hitting a wall? we have good news in time for thanksgiving :-)

after another round of scaling law speculation, @eisokant (co-founder and cto of @poolsideai) and i recorded a 45 min discussion for @airstreetpress.

we talk about scaling laws, synthetic data, training infra, reasoning, economics, and much more...

tl;dr - there is no wall.

[Nathan Benaich @nathanbenaich]

excited to welcome @robertarail from @aiatmeta to our next @londonai on 21 nov!

roberta's work aims to build generally capable autonomous agents, with a focus on rl.

most recently, she's worked on llama 3, toolformer, dreamcraft to cite a few!

[Nathan Benaich @nathanbenaich]

<1 week til we're back for the 7th annual Research and Applied AI Summit.

It's wild to think back to 2015 when we pulled together early movers in the AI research and startup community to explore where the field is heading.

On Friday we'll dive into LLMs, bio, autonomy, energy, enterprise SaaS, healthcare and science policy.

[Nathan Benaich @nathanbenaich]

2 weeks til @raais in London, featuring @intercom @MetaAI @GoogleHealth @northvolt @UniofOxford @PrescientDesign @broadinstitute @sciam @Cruise

Diving into AI-first SaaS, LLMs, AVs, clinical medicine, energy and batteries, protein generation, graph neural networks and large-scale science.

RSVP --> https://t.co/bSWMDoHxTG

[Nathan Benaich @nathanbenaich]

Just under a month's time until the 7th Research and Applied AI Summit in London! RSVP at https://t.co/bSWMDoHxTG

We started back in 2015 when AI was barely taking off around deep learning (CNNs, RNNs et al.)

The @raais community of founders, builders, and researchers are driving AI progress.

The event is non-profit in support of open source AI fellowships and education. Find out more at https://t.co/wO4CrOgStC

[Nathan Benaich @nathanbenaich]

Join our LLM best practice meetups!

LLM tooling, infra, design and best practices are rapidly evolving.

Making long-term decisions today can feel like building on quicksand.
