This is amazing. Ever since I heard @balajis talk about the pseudonymous economy, I've been thinking about how to make it easier to start a YouTube channel with total privacy.

Recent advances in deepfakes, AR and CV will make this as easy as a click.

This is Miko. She's a virtual streamer who is controlled by a real-life woman known only as The Technician.

The Technician uses the Unreal Engine and a $30,000 motion-capture suit to create Miko.

Each time we release a model, we run the same test: give it code that trains a small AI model, ask the new model to speed it up. It takes a skilled human 4-8 hours to reach 4x faster.

In May 2024, Claude Opus 4 averaged a ~3x speedup. This April, Mythos Preview achieved ~52x.

@hwbhatti agreed. best products will abstract a lot of complexity.

@SineadOS1 Enjoyed reading it! Do you have other papers I should check out?

[DG. @dataghees]

@EricDLombardi bold statement these days!

[DG. @dataghees]

@UnderlinedText Excited for you!

[DG. @dataghees]

@MikePMoffatt Well...

[DG. @dataghees]

Yes to an extent. You can see this in China as well which is the only country with a comparable multi-platform tech ecosystem. Most labs are downstream of the giants. This is also why most countries have failed to replicate foundation labs.

That said, competing at the frontier is process heavy and you need the know-how to repeatedly innovate. Outside of Ant/OAI, most labs have struggled despite having more resources.

@onemoreyash @cohere Congrats!

[lily clifford @lilyjclifford]

the amount of infra a frontier model company like rime builds is mind boggling. at this point the bigger pains we have vis a vis modeling are in data infra

[DG. @dataghees]

@MichaelElabd Exciting stuff! Congrats!

@skanwar @sciohn_fhanne Can’t black pill when local engineers are filling up cinemas. First time I’ve seen all networks converge and intermingle. Exciting stuff.

@skanwar Thanks for organizing!

The night before Toronto Tech Week. Something's different in the air this year. 500+ events and tens of thousands gathered around for one city. 3rd best tech talent market across North America. Tons of new offices opening up - the world wants a piece of us. It's sunny week next. Nothing better than a Toronto summer. Gavin Mckenna's coming home. The World Cup's in the flesh next month. We're so back baby.
