I burned a full Transformer with KV cache into a custom chip. Designed gate by gate as a 100% digital integrated circuit. Prototyped on a FPGA. (No GPU. No CPU)
Just pure digital silicon running @karpathy microGPT, spelling out names on a tiny LCD.
This is GateGPT 👇
Btw I believe we have a mostly wrong framing of what could be done in Europe. Italy's Leonardo supercomputer datacenter alone plus Swiss National Supercomputing Centre has more than enough compute to train a very large LLM. It's not something impossible, also there is not magic recipe: it's just scaling, every smart team with the GPUs is doing it. People that fatally believe it is not something within reach are wrong.
"Successive governments pledged they would not ignore the lessons of Grenfell, yet, nine years later, Deaf and Disabled people are still being failed on fire safety".
We spoke to @insidehousing about fire safety and the legacy of #Grenfell.

This really worries me
A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood
But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one
I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x
One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency
Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home
He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E
He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor
As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit
If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't
I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system
This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal
My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption
A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus
It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad
Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention
Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do

Our full support to @LevelBoarding with their strong intervention on the HS2 train fleet.
It should be out of the question for govt to commission new train designs without level boarding. To do so is a form of discrimination because it creates new barriers to accessibility.
So I was totally sold on GPT 5.5. Solely on the basis of what I saw tonight with Fable, I will start to use again Claude extensively, probably as the main model as long as Fable is accessible. It's not just very capable, it performs organized steps and have deep understanding.
Anthropic: Sonnet is great for every day coding tasks!
Sonnet: I know I've failed for 3 hours trying to get a fairly basic CI workflow to work
Opus: Sonnet used all the tokens, you can't afford me now 🤷♂️
Fable: Don't even look at me
Mythos is an excellent biologist. After we first gained access to it, we tested its ability to perform agentic molecular biology research and propose new hypotheses. It was a significant improvement, its biological reasoning and taste are impressive. We give more examples here:
wondering why I feel exhausted. maybe: the agents do all the easy stuff, and I have to work through the leftover hard bits, which means I'm perpetually locked in. and as the models get better, "my" work just gets harder and harder, until I'm basically underqualified to do the work (which... is better than the alternative, there's nothing left for me to do, and I'm paperclipped).
Women's safety organisation SIGBI examined the state of the rail network and found many stations lack security and staffing. They say women are left feeling intimidated and vulnerable.
So far, not a single female panelist on stage. I counted 10 speaking men instead and a woman as moderator. As long as men still take part in „Manels“ nothing will change. #EUAccessibility
Transport for London Freedom of Information release:
TfL withdrew its bus stop bypass safety review due to incorrect implementation dates. The database is being corrected before the report is re-issued. No withdrawal reports or tenders exist.

The railway representative starts with „We‘re 200 years old. It’s not so easy“. If you want to lose me in the first 30 seconds when listening, that’s how. 😂 #EUAccessibility
Köln bis London - per Direktzug
Von Köln direkt nach London – und das ohne Umsteigen: Diese Bahnverbindung könnte bald Realität werden. Nach aktuellen Planungen soll die Fahrt von der Domstadt in die britische Hauptstadt weniger als vier Stunden dauern. Bislang müssen Reisende in Brüssel oder Paris umsteigen. 🚆
The UK is 10+ years ahead when it comes to accessibility compared to many (all?) EU countries. Not just on the ground, attitude-wise as well. Sometimes it’s really worth to get reminded of that at a conference. #EUAccessibility
