Block has some of the more interesting AI experiments. Culture really does come from the top.

We were able to fine tune an open weight model (Qwen3.5-9B) on proprietary internal data at @coinbase, and it out performed frontier models, at much lower cost and speed, for a specialized task (fraud prevention in this case).

I think we'll see more of this pattern inside companies. The frontier models are amazing generalists. But increasingly you'll see specialist models out perform on more narrow tasks, either working on teams, or by themselves.

We're making it easy to fine tune models internally for our employees. We even have a skill for it in our internal harness that makes it easy to spin these up and start training them:

"/fine-tune-and-serve-llm I want to fine-tune Qwen for payments risk review. help me get started"

I imagine we'll have some backend services that could be replaced entirely by this new architecture.

[DHH @dhh]

I'd give up modern architecture for this!

You don't have to commit your entire life to optimism, just try it on for a week. Start thinking "what if it all worked out?" and "what a time to be alive!". Then compare your state of mind to the week before filled with pessimism and doomer nonsense.

When you look back, you’ll wish you’d just done the long-term version of everything.

Freedom Tech DC: Open Intelligence with @Jack

- Open source is a boon for global innovation
- AI will reshape company structures + how @blocks operates
- Instead of slowing down, we should open more
- Government should fund compute
- The cypherpunks built Bitcoin in the open -- we should build AI the same way

If you might as well be anything, you might as well be optimistic.

if you have an addictive personality you are one hyperfixation away from weaponizing it into a generational fucking run

[Oliur @UltraLinx]

Wow this is smart. Implementing this wherever I can going forward.

@NMowbray23 i check the zuru site weekly hoping that it's live and available in the states. where is that on the roadmap? i am an investor/developer in tennessee and am eager to build with zuru 🫡

The robots will likely already have what you want at your seat before you get on the plane.

It will be nice to not feel guilty about asking for something at your seat (I never press the service bell bc of the guilt)

[draino @drainodrew]

I just got pre-nostalgic about flight attendants.

I’ll miss connecting with them and hearing their stories. I’ll miss being greeted with a smile and thanking them afterwards.

I’m sure the aisle robots will be more convenient and create a more personalized experience

@slammyt Times quickly change. Ported everything over to OpenAI, local models, and grokbot a month ago. Claude makes me wanna die ever since the opus 5 / fable update

@choosy_mom Fell off earlier this year. Biggest hack was finding some dawgs to lift with that are consistent, and that I feel sad/embarrassed if I missed a planned workout with

@j_brissonneau @threejs We remodel houses. I bought the meta quest so I could have a dual monitor when on job sites.

I later realized I could use the camera to take 3D scans etc but never got around to building anything with it / never would’ve. So, thank you! Will let you know how it goes
