Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: https://t.co/Lh6PWae178

Jensen Huang: digital biology will be “one of the biggest revolutions ever”
“Where do I think the next amazing revolution is gong to come? And this is going to be flat out one of the biggest ones ever. There’s no question that digital biology is going to be it.”
Jensen continues:
“For the first time in human history, biology has the opportunity to be engineering, not science. When something becomes engineering, not science, it becomes less sporadic and exponentially improving. It can compound on the benefits of the previous years. And every researcher’s contributions compound on each other… We’re going to have incredible tools that bring the world of biology—which is very chaotic and constantly changing and diverse and complex—into the world of computer science. And that is going to be profound.”
He tells the student audience at Berkeley:
“If you happen to love this intersection, I think it’s going to be rich with opportunities. It’s going to be a giant industry.”

Being unhealthy is painful, being healthy is painful, having no relationships is painful, having relationships is painful, being lazy is painful, working really hard is painful.

It's just different flavors of pain. So you might as well pick the flavors of pain that are gonna help you and give you a better set of life.
LLMs are a seed for AGI; LLMs alone are nothing. Classical LLMs will soon become notepads/calculators in Windows [ Comparison ] on every device; one would not exist without the other, but without LLM, AGI would never be achieved, so scaling is the solution and evolution of AGI progress.
The fun thing is with AGI; Basic LLMs had/have such a short life and provable evolution. It is beautiful, as when AGI is achieved, it will replace everything and evolve indefinitely.
🧬 Meet Lyra, a new paradigm for accessible, powerful modeling of biological sequences. Lyra is a lightweight SSM achieving SOTA performance across DNA, RNA, and protein tasks—yet up to 120,000x smaller than foundation models (ESM, Evo). Bonus: you can train it on your Mac.

Boston Dynamics' Atlas showcases reinforcement learning policies trained using a motion capture suit, developed in partnership with RAI Institute.
Both Boston Dynamics and RAI Institute are owned by Hyundai Group.
Rohit Sharma hit 5 centuries in WC 2019, but his SR in the first Powerplay in that year was just 67.74 and in five years (2015-19) it was 75.81. Since 2020, he is striking at 115.51 in the Powerplay. The difference between good and great is, the transformation never stops.
#Genomics#AI: scientists devised a deep learning model to predict which genes are expressed in any type of human cell from genomic sequences and chromatin accessibility data. The model could help identify mutations that lead to diseases such as cancer https://t.co/Se4qmHbUrb

Announcing The Stargate Project
The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.
The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman.
Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements.
As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle.
This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services.
All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.
O This has led to the development of targeted therapies that are far more effective than traditional one-size-fits-all chemotherapy treatments. #precisionmed
One of the most compelling applications of precision medicine is in the field of oncology. Through genomic profiling, doctors can now analyze the DNA of a patient's tumor to identify specific genetic mutations driving the cancer's growth. #Genomics
