Monumental if it survives peer review and formal verification.. I guess the way we do math research has changed forever.

[Noam Brown @polynoamial]

An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science.

We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning. https://t.co/iP6cyheZ7i

How can AI models keep up with fast-changing data? One solution lies in retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG. RAG uses a variety of data sources, not just vector databases, to keep AI model outputs fresh and tailored to an organization’s knowledge. https://t.co/jBLmLmItib

"Pretraining data for LLMs is already basically all of human knowledge".

Interesting claim, but what about all the knowledge that isn't written down anywhere?

Historic!

The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI 🇪🇺

The #AIAct is much more than a rulebook — it's a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race.

The best is yet to come! 👍

[EU Council @EUCouncil]

✅ The EU will have the first-ever rules in the world on artifical intelligence.

The EU's #AIact will ensure that #AI systems are safe and respect fundamental rights.

The deal follows a 3-day 'marathon' negotiation talks between Council and @Europarl_EN.

#GeneralPurposeAI regulated ✅🇪🇺

It’s been 37h of #EU #AIAct Trilogue for the negotiators, but 1000s of hours of pre-work by so many.

Some exciting news on concrete #rules and strong #governance to address #systemic #risks.

In the future, once the robustness of our models will exceed some threshold, we will have *wildly effective* and dirt cheap AI therapy. Will lead to a radical improvement in people’s experience of life. One of the applications I’m most eagerly awaiting.

Super-interesting paper about how to think about LLMs.

In the middle of the night, Netanyahu tweeted that he wasn't responsible for any failures over the October 7 massacres, and pinned the blame on the security establishment. After an outcry, including from his new coalition partner Benny Gantz, the tweet was just deleted.

"Israel has always felt protected by its strong, sophisticated military. That sense of security was stripped away."

21 Arab states say they support Palestinians in Gaza.

0 Arab states have accepted Palestinian refugees.

[Bassem Eid @realbassemeid]

Taking innocent children hostage is something only terrorists do.
It's been 19 days. At least 224 Israelis, including at least 35 children, are being held hostage in Gaza by Hamas.

#ReleaseTheHostages

[Bassem Eid @realbassemeid]

Hamas may be the government of Gaza, but it doesn't care about taking care of its citizens. The only thing Hamas cares about is trying to wipe Israel off the map. And it continues trying to do so at the expense of innocent Palestinian civilians.

#FreeGazaFromHamas

[Bassem Eid @realbassemeid]

Hamas has been using its fuel reserves to launch rockets at Israel instead of supplying fuel to hospitals. Hamas cares more about killing Israelis than it does about taking care of Gazan civilians.

Our new article is out in Alzheimer's & Dementia:

We compared disease progression across 6 major AD cohorts and assessed how the exhibited heterogeneity in cohort data impacts data-driven modeling.
