There’s hundreds of young kids that live in Tenderloin. These kids see dead bodies practically every day and it’s not blurred when they see it. So if they see it and they stomach it I’m quite sure y’all adults who’s asking me to blur it out can stomach it too…

@DevaReply @grok Jeff Bezos is the most harmful of the 4. Your main streets and local economies would be much healthier and humane if they still existed. Instead we do robot jobs and piss in Gatorade bottles waiting for AI to replace us so Amazon doesn’t have to pay for our health insurance

In 1989, a still-struggling Brad Pitt flew to Budapest with almost no money left—only to have his fiancée end the relationship over dinner.

He and actress Jill Schoelen had met the previous year on the set of the low-budget horror film Cutting Class. Their relationship moved quickly, and Pitt proposed. The engagement was short-lived.

While Schoelen was in Hungary filming The Phantom of the Opera, she called Pitt in Los Angeles. She was crying, said she felt lonely, and told him there was “a huge drama.”

At the time Pitt had roughly $800 to his name. He spent about $600 of it on a plane ticket from Los Angeles to Hungary.

He went straight to the set, and that night they went out to dinner. Over the table she told him she had fallen in love with the film’s director, Dwight Little. Shocked, Pitt replied, “I’m outta here.”

With almost no money left, he spent the night sitting on a bench in Budapest, smoking and talking to a local homeless man who spoke no English.

He later described it as one of the nights he still remembers, especially after success arrived. He returned to the United States completely broke.

Within a couple of years he landed the role that changed everything: Thelma & Louise. The Budapest night did not create his career, but it became a sharp early reminder of how quickly things can turn—and how little money and certainty he had when they did.

The good news: you can mid-train yourself to the frontier!

At a fraction of the cost! Without distillation!

What we did: We took Qwen3.5 14B and mid- and post-trained it to beat every other open model and perform as well as the very best frontier models.

This is no simple toy task or format fixing, we are training the model to understand and reason over DNA sequences. Bio is the next frontier for AI and universal access will be crucial to make progress.

The fun part: because we train the model on both natural language and DNA sequences you can actually 'chat to your DNA': Ask it questions, ponder the impact of mutations, or ask it to generate a small sequence.

We'll soon see the frontier labs move away from math and cyber towards bio. It already started, and we believe researchers should have access to capable models.

We are releasing the full recipe, so you can do it, too!
