AI at Google/Kaggle (inversion). PhD chemical engineer. Too many hobbies.

Our new Gemma 4 12B model hits a sweet spot between size + performance: it can run locally on a laptop, while enabling powerful multi-step reasoning and agentic workflows. Can’t wait to see what the community does with this one!

@sickdotdev You'll make a ton of money by shorting the bubble. Let us know how it goes!

It's been awesome working with @xdotli @nick_kango @ivanleomk @WalterReade @ashley_oldacre to bring this hackathon to Kaggle & the community!

How well can you write skills that improve fixed agent harness performance on a variety of tasks? Submit skills & writeup findings. 👇

[meg.ai 🇨🇦 @MeganRisdal]

We added a model filter to Kaggle Benchmarks!

Check it out to see the models we support. Anyone can eval these models at no cost on our platform. :)

Plus, of course explore results for models you're interested in!

Kaggle は昇進の役にたつ

“入社3年目でスペシャリストグレードに昇格しており、20代で同グレードに到達している社員はいないという。スペシャリストグレードへの昇格には、社内での業務実績に加え、社外でも通用する専門性が求められる。Kaggle Masterの称号や技術力の高さが評価された”

[Walter Reade @WalterReade]

Technical writing these days:
- Step 1: Ask AI to write the paper
- Step 2: Ask AI to review the paper for signs that it was written by AI
- Step 3: Ask AI to suggest less AI-sounding phrases
- Step 4: (Optional) Read the draft before submitting

Join the 5-Day AI Agents: Intensive Vibe Coding Course with @Google!

Learn from Google experts through theory sessions, hands-on labs, a capstone challenge, and connect with a vibrant community!

@michael_lacolla @ggreenwald 100% agree about the potential abuse. The answer is to prevent the abuse, not ditch the tech.

I should note . . . the name of this competition is :chef's-kiss:

I'd join if I wasn't working on 19 other things. 😅

@WashedPolicy @ggreenwald Throughout history, technology advances have been net beneficial for society. It will be the same with AI. And, with all technology advances, there will be those who want nothing to do with them. They are the people who get left most behind.

[Walter Reade @WalterReade]

@WashedPolicy @ggreenwald If you learn how to use AI well, you'll have a job.

[Walter Reade @WalterReade]

I jumped into machine learning ~14 years ago. It was an exciting and fun time. The last few years, though, have felt like a grind trying to keep up with everything. Agentic coding has made things fun again.

Rookie numbers.

Don't let anybody talk you out of spending $50,000 on anthropic api credits.

That $100,000 will be the best $250,000 you ever spent.

[Walter Reade @WalterReade]

I consent to having AI trained on all of the papers I've published over the years. (That, or Elsevier can start paying authors royalties.)

Science publishing giant Elsevier has joined the dozens of firms and individuals suing artificial intelligence companies over their alleged use of copyrighted works in training AI models

@JFPuget 90% of the work I do, I'd do for free, for fun. Getting paid is a nice perk.

@MeganRisdal @ethylene_66 💯

[Walter Reade @WalterReade]

If they are going to apply this standard, it should be independent of the use of AI. If a co-author mistakenly keys in a non-existent reference, it should also result in a suspension for all authors. (What a great use of time, to have all 90 authors from a physics paper each checking references.)
