Today Thinking Machines Lab is launching our research blog, Connectionism. Our first blog post is “Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference”
We believe that science is better when shared. Connectionism will cover topics as varied as our research is: from kernel numerics to prompt engineering. Here we share what we are working on and connect with the research community frequently and openly.
The name Connectionism is a throwback to an earlier era of AI; it was the name of the subfield in the 1980s that studied neural networks and their similarity to biological brains.

@dwarkesh_sp Pretty interesting how important Russian/Chinese incompetence was for Imperial Japenese hubris. Too bad the US doesn't teach much about asian history.
@spandrell4 Both nations bounced out of WWII with strong industrial and manufacturing economies. Since that worked that’s what they invested heavily in. They didn’t predict advances in computing would eventually be more important.
@_opencv_ they already have an internal custom VSCode that uses sonnet 3.7 with claude code-like behavior. they’re not going to buy cursor just to make their internal ide marginally better since it’s not their business
