We made a huge blunder starting a war we are unwilling to finish

Iran now knows we lack the killer instinct, and that the most we will do is drop bunker busters from afar

They’re crazier and willing to absorb endless bombing

They will drag this fight out for a decade.

they will fight to the death, and know we won’t fight past 5% inflation & $4 a gallon gasoline

Tough talk means nothing to the leadership of Iran.

Frontier models are impressive because they can do almost anything.

The problem is most enterprise workflows don't need "almost anything." They need the right outcome at the right cost.

The right model > the biggest model.

We used SLMs to build a codebase analyzer internally. It worked so well and runs so fast we are now selling it as a product - https://t.co/fMrQp4RUpw - scans your codebase nightly for errors and vulnerabilities and recommends fixes.

Tokenmaxxing is out. Tokenminning is in. - @nytimes @elitanjourno

@robmay said it cleanly in the piece: CEOs who couldn't measure AI savviness defaulted to "who's using the most tokens." Volume over efficiency. That was never going to hold once the bills landed.

Uber burned a year of AI budget in four months. Meta is capping usage. AT&T says 90% savings just by right-sizing the model to the task.

The insight that the market would head this way is what inspired us to found @NeuroMetricAI, and what we've been proving with customers ever since. It's just now going mainstream.

We built the platform that automates token engineering so you don't have to.

Monthly AI caps are what companies do when they can see the bill but not the waste.

Tokenminning is knowing where AI is actually useful before you decide to spend. Big difference.

@martyrdison I would fly it if Trump wasn't president. But not proud of what spray tan man is doing.

[Rob May @robmay]

So the Trump administration is banning international access to an AI model they also won't use internally? What a weird situation.

[Rob May @robmay]

To be clear, I'm not anti-Meta. I wish they would re-engage the AI community like they used to. Would be good for them and for the community.

[Cooper @cooper_nyc_]

"The AI community largely ignores @Meta at this point." @robmay @NeuroMetricAI @JonathanVanian @CNBC

But the frontier is jagged. Token engineering work led us to move a customer off a Gemini model onto Llama 4 Maverick for the right task. The result: 10x lower cost and 4x better latency at the same quality.

Task-based tokenminning is a tailwind for alt model providers, and we're just scratching the surface.

Meta has a long way to go, but it's far from useless. Now would be the time for Zuck to double down and catch up.

Enterprises are realizing 3 things..

1 - tokenmaxxing was never the right goal
2 - the jagged frontier - no single model is best at everything or can seamlessly generalize across all domains
3 - supply chain risk management principles apply to AI infrastructure

Glad Michele Catasta said this out loud. Token leaderboards are a bad idea. The goal should be getting more output from fewer tokens, not celebrating waste.

Elon is a shill for the Fake ID lobby :)

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Once voting is this fraudulent, they can get whatever outcome they want, making a sham of democracy

[Rob May @robmay]

@brian_armstrong @brian_armstrong we have a platform that does this for you - auto-generates SLMs for common workloads - https://t.co/3OnY6aysNt

[Rob May @robmay]

Dude any high school kid can tell you how easy it is to get a fake ID these days. This solves nothing.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The reason ID is banned in California (and New York) elections is to enable large-scale fraud.

When you combine no ID and mail-in voting, fraud is de facto legalized.

We do this for SLMs!

Has AI Made VC's Forget Basic Business Strategy? https://t.co/WWbGUCA2nO

[Rob May @robmay]

Yes, exactly. It's nuanced.

[@jason @Jason]

If you’re in/around the administration, you're obligated to keep up the narrative that AI is creating jobs.

If you're a Democrat or America First/America Only, you're obligated to spread the job destruction narrative.

That's how AOC and Steve Bannon find themselves on the same team.

If you're an independent thinker, you understand that we will have massive AI job *displacement* combined with profound abundance (lower prices, shorter work weeks and new jobs)

This means extreme winners AND losers, which will require thoughtful change management.

🔥 Scott Bessent just dropped a NUKE on Gavin Newsom and then WALKED OUT of the room 😂

REPORTER: Newsom says he wants a 100% tax on Californians that receive money from Trump's anti-weaponization fund. Your response?

BESSENT: "There's no cure for STUPID" 🤣🔥

*walks out*

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Not enough people are talking about this.

A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there.

But the story of how he got it is even worse.

County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent.

That is absolutely insane.

Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it.
