Great that the data & code for Bangladesh mask RCT has been released https://t.co/knYtfTXtpQ. I tried to run their code and it seems there are only very small differences to what was reported in the paper.

It’s clear now that performance depends not only on the LLM but also on the agent software.

CNN montage of all the times Trump announced deals with Iran.

Anderson Cooper: Today marks 39 times that he has said something like that.

I missed this news. The Covid-era superstar Jacinda Ardern has relocated to Australia 😯.

[CNN International @cnni]

Former New Zealand leader Jacinda Ardern and her family have emigrated. They're not the only ones.

You would think that student loans exist to fund the continuation of the higher education system but no they are just rip off taxation to fund welfare.

@PolitlcsUK @e_casalicchio So if an enemy promised better schools and hospitals we should quickly surrender?

[Chao Wang @excel_wang]

@BBCPolitics Err, by not using public schools it is actually the parents of private school pupils are subsidising the rest. Has she said thank you once?

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

API is overpriced vs subscriptions by 40-70x
Do you know what this means? They have DeepSeek-level compute efficiency if not better. Which makes perfect sense (tbh still too good for DS), given frontier budgets for overtraining, autoresearch, larger and older staff etc.

[amrit @amritwt]

hey my deepseek brothers can you begin distilling claude fable and give it to me at 1% the cost? thnx

@ASM65617010 Is the result based on the public question set that model developers could hack or benchmax, or the private held-out questions?

[Chao Wang @excel_wang]

@theo @themmyleke Gemini is free (with usage limit of course), including the pro model. While free users are stuck with GPT Instant or mimi, or Sonnet on Claude.

[Chao Wang @excel_wang]

Gemini is pretty generous for users on free or lower-tier paid plans. For comparision, OpenAI only allows you (free & Go) to access Instant and Mini models (https://t.co/WBy6vDuyCI), and looking at the benchmarks (https://t.co/Sb9PPv0Jdf) the Instant model is not so good.

@PolitlcsUK So I assume he doesn’t support free breakfast clubs as he now says the food is so cheap?

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

I agree. European social democrats have always been more honest than the British Left. The euro left made it clear that if you want cradle-to-the-grave socialism then everybody will have to pay much higher taxes. The British Left claims it can be done just by taxing the rich, which is nonsense. But given the current state of Middle Britain — with real incomes largely stagnant since the GFC of 2008 — good luck with winning an election telling middle-earners they should pay more taxes.

[Chao Wang @excel_wang]

@ChrissGPT @smellytoast6 Copilot has more usage share than Meta AI

[Epoch AI @EpochAIResearch]

Among people in $100,000+ households, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot all have more users than Claude.

So while Claude’s user base tends to be high-income, the smaller number of Claude users overall means these users are still more likely to use services other than Claude.

@leicesterliz How many bat tunnels and consultant fees will be spent this time?

[Chao Wang @excel_wang]

All the world's major AI firms outside China is banned in China, so Chinese AI firms are guaranteed a huge market, giving them strong incentive to develop their own models. So at least I can understand China. What EU is doing here however helps no one except their bureaucrats.

[Jane Manchun Wong @wongmjane]

Apple publishes a full-page press release blaming the EU for the delayed Siri AI launch in the region,

while China got one footnote treatment for the similar delayed Siri AI launch
