$PLTR CTO @ssankar on Deepseek and disagreeing with OpenAI CEO @sama ๐ฎ
โWe are at war with China. We are in an AI arms race. I got into a disagreement with Sam Altman about this at the Senate AI summit over a year agoโฆ Thereโs an opposing view that we can all get along and cooperate on these things. Iโm sure the other side feels quite different realizing that their IP has been stolen.
โHow many times are we going to believe that anchors dragged across the sea that cut undersea cables?
โChina knows theyโre at war. We kinda equivocate on it as a peace loving nation.
โThe engineering on R1 is exquisite. The optimizations theyโve done are really impressiveโฆ We have to wake up with respect for our adversary and realize that we are competing. But they absolutely did steal a lot of that through distillation of the models, and perhaps they stole even more.
โWe have to realize that the AI race is winner take all, and itโs going to be a whole of nation effort that extends well beyond the DoD in order for us as a nation to win.โ ๐บ๐ธ

I have, this morning, received a congratulatory call from my brother Dr @MBawumia, following my emphatic victory in Saturdayโs election.
Thank you, Ghana.
Most companies can't deploy AI effectively.
The tech exists. The talent exists. But connecting them is nearly impossible.
That's why Sarah launched Conviction - a platform turning the $200B+
enterprise AI market into plug-and-play solutions.
Here's what makes it revolutionary:
A frank and productive exchange of views with my counterpart on key issues like expanding the global supply of candy and toys and tightening sanctions against chores.
I'm excited to announce the release of the Naijaweb ๐ณ๐ฌ dataset.
Naijaweb is a 270,000 (230Million GPT2 tokens) document dataset of webpages which Nigerians have shown interest in, it was cleaned with the same techniques done on the Fineweb dataset by @huggingface.
A thread ๐งต..
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: A cocoa farmer in the Oti Region shared a video stating he won't use his land for any galamsey operations, citing cocoa as more profitable and safe.
He attributed this decision to Ghana's low price of GHS 3,000 per bag of cocoa beans. Instead, he smuggles his cocoa to Togo, where buyers pay GHS 8,000 per bag of cocoa beans.
*** Can Ghana Relook at itโs Cocoa Pricing ??? ๐ฌ๐ญ
Practical vertical uses of LLMs are happening now

Thrilled to jointly endorse w/Senator @NancySkinnerCA two incredible women leaders for Oakland School Board: Patrice Berry for District 5 and Rachel Latta for District 1.
I hope we can now put all this deep sea port fever as a means of economic growth in places that have no economic activity to speak of to rest.
These regions should first focus on increasing their economic activity before embarking on wasteful deep sea ports.
