I used Opus 5.5 to help make an explainer video for @coreweave Agent Lens (agent observability + insights on prod). It's ridiculously good at these kinds of videos!!
I also used CoreWeave sandboxes to farm out the rendering.

Cognition is the first customer running @NVIDIA Vera Rubin, powered by @CoreWeave!

Hopper in 2022. Blackwell in 2024. Now Vera Rubin:

On SWE-2 inference, the new chips deliver about 4.8x more token throughput than GB200 at the same decode speed.

More compute, better agents!

It's the final countdown. See you at #FullyConnected26 next week!

@SemiAnalysis_ @vllm_project Cool to see that you’re adding benchmarks for harness-inference co-optimization next. I wrote a bit about that here

@paulg You gave me this same advice, Demo Day 2013! 😁 (13 y ago, when the 14 y.o. was 1)

I replied: "Like Tchaikovsky?" To which you had no response. I enjoyed this exchange immensely

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

The first-ever measured silicon numbers for @NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 are in 😲

First measured performance shows 10x more tokens per megawatt than Blackwell.

No projections. Real results from live hardware.

OK, even if you prepare, most carriers still fail. Here's the rundown:
1. @ATT's transfer eSIM flow is broken because it requires 2FA from the phone that was repaired (via a recycled mainboard)
2. @Google_fi only lets you transfer one line and the one I wanted to move over was the secondary. I had to cancel it
3. @Visible's eSIM transfer mostly worked as intended, except I was totally logged out on the restored-from-backup device, so it prompted me to start new service rather than restore from backup. Luckily I could use e-mail as a second factor

[Barrett Woodside @exploreml]

eSIMs are great and all, I really enjoy using Ubiji and/or Saily when I travel.

However, if you get your iPhone repaired and they swap the mainboard (my Lightning port stopped working), then you need to bring another device to the Apple store to re-activate. Also, turn off account security temporarily with your cell carrier.

In sum:

1. Bring a charger and charge cable to prove to the Apple store employee that the phone no longer charges
2. Turn off account migration/SIM swap security
3. Bring a second device (laptop, iPad, etc.) that's already logged into your iCloud
4. Hope for the best (like your partner on your cell plan is still in cell service and can be your second factor, if need be)

While I could restore from iCloud backup (I normally use a cable to back up my phone when I upgrade, but couldn't do that with a busted port, nor would Wi-Fi backup work without a port connection first), I was then prompted to do a 30-minute iOS upgrade (no way to bypass).

So restoring your phone after a repair, is a massive time waste with eSIMs, unless you do your homework and thoroughly prepare in advance.

@JeffDean Are you ReLU sure that's the best way to calculate it? Sounds taxing!

[Barrett Woodside @exploreml]

@mickeyxfriedman So incredibly subjective, but tantalizing nonetheless

@Ne_oL @_akhaliq @deepseek_ai Trailing comma after a list item can be convenient if you’re commenting out a later line, or deleting it altogether, if items in a list fall on multiple lines

[Barrett Woodside @exploreml]

@martin_casado Yes please.

[Barrett Woodside @exploreml]

@npew I like this better than "Bayes Valley," in part because PG&E has a large substation in the Mission.⚡️

Even if mechanical, not electrical transmission was the intent behind o1's name

Fun generative video clips with @krea_ai, courtesy of @ErwannMillon and team.

First pass, but should make for some fun projection mapping tomorrow night with @welovesfofficial!

[Barrett Woodside @exploreml]

@Gradio Congrats to @_akhaliq and team! Really loving how snappy v5 is.
