Head of Firefox. Create more than you consume.

We're appreciative for the deep collaboration between Firefox and Anthropic- https://t.co/YSMPCjwCti

Is AI finding the low hanging fruit or do the capabilities continue to get better and better - at least for now it seems like we're in the get better and better (rapidly!)

[Ajit Varma @ajitvarma]

Pretty simple - if you have a focused goal and are relentless you can build the best product.

The next few months are going to be packed with Firefox improvements!

Really excited about everything which will bring more power, privacy and user control.

@_buames 💔 you are one of the good ones - one of the most principled and just good person I know. So glad I know you and had the time I had to spend with you. Heart breaking to hear this news.

⚡️ Excited to share that I am starting an AI+Education company called Eureka Labs.
The announcement:

---
We are Eureka Labs and we are building a new kind of school that is AI native.

How can we approach an ideal experience for learning something new? For example, in the case of physics one could imagine working through very high quality course materials together with Feynman, who is there to guide you every step of the way. Unfortunately, subject matter experts who are deeply passionate, great at teaching, infinitely patient and fluent in all of the world's languages are also very scarce and cannot personally tutor all 8 billion of us on demand.

However, with recent progress in generative AI, this learning experience feels tractable. The teacher still designs the course materials, but they are supported, leveraged and scaled with an AI Teaching Assistant who is optimized to help guide the students through them. This Teacher + AI symbiosis could run an entire curriculum of courses on a common platform. If we are successful, it will be easy for anyone to learn anything, expanding education in both reach (a large number of people learning something) and extent (any one person learning a large amount of subjects, beyond what may be possible today unassisted).

Our first product will be the world's obviously best AI course, LLM101n. This is an undergraduate-level class that guides the student through training their own AI, very similar to a smaller version of the AI Teaching Assistant itself. The course materials will be available online, but we also plan to run both digital and physical cohorts of people going through it together.

Today, we are heads down building LLM101n, but we look forward to a future where AI is a key technology for increasing human potential. What would you like to learn?

@EurekaLabsAI is the culmination of my passion in both AI and education over ~2 decades. My interest in education took me from YouTube tutorials on Rubik's cubes to starting CS231n at Stanford, to my more recent Zero-to-Hero AI series. While my work in AI took me from academic research at Stanford to real-world products at Tesla and AGI research at OpenAI. All of my work combining the two so far has only been part-time, as side quests to my "real job", so I am quite excited to dive in and build something great, professionally and full-time.

It's still early days but I wanted to announce the company so that I can build publicly instead of keeping a secret that isn't. Outbound links with a bit more info in the reply!

@thefriley @OpenAI @DigEconLab @Walmart @Consensys Awesome to see a great person move to a great new impactful role! They are lucky to have you!

[Ajit Varma @ajitvarma]

Go 49ers!

[Ajit Varma @ajitvarma]

One of my favorite slogans is Blue Origin's Gradatim Ferociter which means step by step furiously. Some steps more furiously than others! I'm excited to see what you build. Feedback welcome.

Bob was one of my best friends over the last 20 years and one of the most impactful people in my life. So many amazing memories and experiences with him. He wanted everyone around him to have fun and be happy.

Will forever miss his positive energy and laughs. RIP.

Gotta start somewhere

1/ this market map will become an iconic case study of "was a feature not a product" with all of the value ultimately being split between the actual core AI platforms in the top left corner and incumbent software tools with distribution (mostly not shown) who will add AI features
