Last week, it was all smiles with our Solidity students and their mentor, and if you’ve been keeping up with our previous posts, you know that’s a RARE sight. 😂
Mentor @devvmichael, you need to tell us your secret. What did you do differently? 👀😂
#Solidity#Web3Bridge
after an exciting week of launches (muse wonder [full] & muse spark open), i want to write a note of appreciation to the amazing research teams at meta superintelligence labs on reaching such a special milestone ♥️
we started MSL and TBD a little more than a year ago and set a goal of producing a frontier model within a year or so. given where llama4 landed, that was an incredibly audacious goal, and we knew it wouldn't be easy. many people told us it would be impossible. we knew it was unlikely, but still worth doing. a remarkable group of researchers and engineers joined the effort from inside and outside meta. every single person came in, picked up a shovel, and got to work with earnestness and urgency. nobody asked whose job it was.
we assembled a team of the most brilliant people i have ever had the opportunity to work with (and remember, i was an HRT intern 🙃). i am surrounded by ambitious, visionary, technically excellent, hard-working, pragmatic, thoughtful scientists, engineers, and product folks—people who will chase a weird loss spike past midnight just because they need to know why. these models are the product of their passion, hard work, and brilliance.
somewhat paradoxically, when we started TBD, we set a principle of no deadlines. we knew we had an astronomical amount of work ahead of us—across pretraining, post-training, RL, multimodal, infrastructure, safety, data, AND frontier research. there was no use setting arbitrary timelines—we just had to get to work, be thoughtful, and build the foundations of a frontier research effort in record time. and run after run, this team did exactly that.
our researchers are magicians. i can only describe building these models with this team as a wondrous journey of scientific discovery. i am constantly amazed by what we can accomplish with scaling. i will remember this past year for the rest of my life—the late nights, the broken runs, the evals that came back better than any of us dared to hope. watching this team create wonder after wonder has been a true and deep gift.
more than just the models we released this week, we have built a machine that builds new models. it often sounds like a cop-out to say labs can just turn the crank to keep scaling, but now i have seen it first-hand. sure, it's a lot of work and a careful process, but we have built a scalable system to keep advancing at the frontier, and i am really proud of how fast this team keeps making these models better.
lastly, i get to work with researchers who care deeply about how their work benefits humanity. it's easy to forget when everything is changing so fast, but the whole damn point is to make people's lives better. time and time again, i have seen our researchers, engineers, and product folks build our technology with care so it can truly be good for the world—whether that's building the best models for muse, thoughtfully open-sourcing strong models, or making sure the alignment and security of our systems are rock solid. this is a team of people who never forget there's a real person on the other side of every prompt.
thank you to everyone at MSL for being part of this crazy journey over the past year. i'm so grateful for every one of you, and our work is not done!
I know this song has blessed some of us in ways that only us can really tell, if you’re led to, please share in the comments below 👇🏾🙏🏼
You might also be a blessing to someone!

Been a little quiet here👋🏽
Over the last two weeks, I’ve been exploring how frontend integration works in Web3, connecting React.js applications to smart contracts.
I put some of my learnings into this article. ♻️

Hi everyone! 👋
Two weeks of Web3 frontend integration at @Web3Bridge with our amazing mentor, @devvmichael.
I documented what we covered in two articles.
The first explores how EIP-6963 enables dApps to discover multiple wallets:

7years ago, I made the tweet that birth Web3bridge.
Since that tweet, we have consciously train and supprted the ecosystem with top and competent developers.
Grateful to see the impact and growth that have happened as a result of that tweet. Much more excited about the quality of support Web3bridge has received from the ecosystem, protocols, friends and partners in those years.
This years anniversary came with mixed emotion, especially as we are at a critical part of growth. We have asked the question, should we close up and do something else? Possibly, just turn the rooms to apartments, while I possible get a nice job as I'm not near retirement.
This week, I concluded that the reason why we are under so much pressure now is cos we believe we have something to loose, but we been under no pressure before now cos as I tell them team "we will just go home, if it doesn't work out".
Good news is, we aren't going back home cos our friends and partners already told us they got us and will hold our hands, walk/work with us as we manage the transition into supporting founders.
Grateful much to everyone who have been a part of the journey so far! My wish was to be able to send everyone who have supported us a thank you gift, card, note but it's ok, we will still do it.
We won't have gone this far without the amazing team at Web3bridge! Everyone who has been a part of our journey as a team member, you deserve the kudos and I will someday say thank you in a great way.
For those asking, Peace is not getting sacked either 🌚
Love you all!

7 years ago, we started with a simple belief: African talent deserves a chance on the global stage.
We spent 7 years building the bridge. Now, we’re building for what comes next.
Happy 7th Anniversary to us! 🎉🍾
Stay tuned for this new chapter

Context can often be misinterpreted. This could lead to some heavy misunderstanding. When agitated take an extra second to digest context or consider if there are any possibilities of meaning other than our own lens.
Approval for Modernisation and Upgrade of Onne, Rivers, Delta, Calabar Ports
I am pleased to announce that the Federal Government has approved the comprehensive modernisation and upgrade of Onne, Rivers, Delta and Calabar Ports.
This approval builds on the earlier approval for the modernisation and upgrade of Apapa and Tin Can Island Ports in Lagos, reaffirming our determination to develop a balanced, efficient and globally competitive national port system.
Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT, infrastructure renewal and economic diversification remain central to the Renewed Hope Agenda. Modern and efficient ports are critical to this vision because they facilitate trade, support industry, attract investment and create jobs.
Extending the modernisation programme beyond Lagos will complement ongoing investments in Apapa and Tin Can Island, while helping to reduce the concentration of cargo traffic around Lagos and creating additional efficient gateways for international trade.
Upgraded infrastructure and improved operational efficiency at Onne, Rivers, Delta and Calabar Ports will enhance cargo handling, reduce vessel turnaround times, strengthen regional connectivity and make the movement of goods more predictable and cost-effective.
These ports have strategic roles to play in our trade, industrial and regional development, and we are determined to equip them to meet the demands of a growing economy.
This is part of a broader expansion of Nigeria’s maritime infrastructure, including Federal Government approvals for the development of the Ibom, Bakassi, Agge, Gateway, Ondo and Bonny Deep Seaports.
Our approach is comprehensive. We are modernising existing ports while facilitating the development of new deep seaports. Together, these investments will expand Nigeria’s maritime capacity, create stronger economic corridors and position our country as a major maritime and logistics hub in Africa.
Our vision is an integrated maritime and logistics system in which ports, roads, rail, inland waterways and other transport infrastructure work together to enable the seamless movement of cargo.
We want Nigerian businesses to spend less time and resources moving their goods, while creating an environment that encourages investment and supports job creation.
The Ministry will continue to work closely with state governments, terminal operators, investors, shipping companies and other stakeholders to ensure that these projects translate into tangible improvements across Nigeria’s marine and blue economy.
Nigeria has the geography, market and maritime resources to become a leading maritime hub. Our responsibility is to provide the infrastructure, policies and enabling environment required to turn that potential into sustainable economic value.

@obiabo_immanuel It's crazy, a lot of research has gone into this, and most of the fundamentals of database engineering are applied as well in blockchain design.
