This is my last letter from @Meta , 8,000 people at Meta may get one tmr.

The company may keep the code, the documents, and the information. But you get to keep what truly matters, the judgment, the friendships, and the better YOU

Visited @BR365sm ‘s office today and tried to change myself to @elonmusk lol

The AI nowadays are so stupid, that it has been working for a week and still did not solve my simple one sentence question: “does P=NP? Make a serious effort to prove or disprove it”

@YorkYang5050 pretty cool !!!

[Ben Ren @BR365sm]

Wondering how far away is our GPT moment in robotics?

[York Yang @YorkYang5050]

This is the most exciting moment of my life so far.

And it’s only the beginning.

Scalability is EVERYTHING.

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to unpack 6 breakthroughs that we believe are critical to scaling physical intelligence:

Foundation models ← this is the first big unlock
Infrastructure
Teachability
Deployment
Hardware
Physical agents

None of these pieces work alone. They compound.

Today, we’re starting with the foundational model breakthrough that changed how we think about what’s possible.

The rest of the story is coming.

Buckle up. 🔥

This morning I burned through my Max weekly usage and was about to step away and take some rest.

Checked back and somehow it's refreshed already. Guess rest was never on the table. Ultracode mode, here we go. 🚀 #Claude #ClaudeCode

[Ben Ren @BR365sm]

Claude code ultracode is basically the same as high, but each token counts as 6 times the cost :p

Its a scam

[Ben Ren @BR365sm]

@yuhasbeentaken @offloop @readever_ai good stuff!

Anthropic bought out Stainless and shut it down.

So we built Stainful: the open-source Stainless

Keep generating SDK at your existing `stainless.yml`, unchanged.

Anyone anxiously waiting for #AAAI23?🤣🤣🤣

[DukeUEnergy @DukeUEnergy]

⚡️Many communities worldwide lack reliable electricity access. To tackle this challenge, decision-makers need more and better data.

A @DukeU / @RTI_Intl team finds that drones may outperform satellites at collecting info on small home solar systems: https://t.co/7kI0gIkMwz
