@OpenAI One thing they need to fix is that I hate having to cut off the model from talking costantly becuase its too verbose in every single explanation. Its like talking to someone that always wants to be heard.

Hey @danshipper would love your take and opinion on compound engineering in a fable/sol era. Love it for opus but not sure how to think about it for efficiency and use now.

NVIDIA just published ArtiFixer. It tackles one of the most frustrating parts of 3D Gaussian Splatting: what happens in areas you didn't capture.

Standard reconstruction falls apart in under-observed regions. Floaters, blurry holes, missing geometry. ArtiFixer patches those gaps with an autoregressive diffusion model that stays consistent with what exists while generating plausible content where there's nothing.

1-3 dB PSNR improvement across all MipNeRF 360 scenes. On some of them, it's the only approach that produces usable output at all. Open source: https://t.co/PKbG6rZNgM

We’re excited to share that we just signed an agreement for @salesforce to acquire @fin_ai for ~$3.6B. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2027.

Fin started as Intercom 15 years ago. We changed our name to cap our transformation just weeks ago. We were a darling of the SaaS era and invented so many of the patterns you see in software today. Nearly four years ago, in need of a reboot, we jumped on weeks-old modern LLMs to create and define the category we know as Customer Agents today.

Salesforce invented modern software and SaaS. And @benioff is like the final boss of tech founder CEOs. In seat for 27 years, he’s one of the last of his era. Still pushing, pivoting, placing big bets. It’s a privilege for @destraynor and I to get to partner with him and join forces with Salesforce upon close at this most fascinating time. And will be very fun to get their help bringing Fin to magnitudes more consumers.

To our customers: Over the past few years we’ve been shipping intensely. Including recently our groundbreaking model, Apex, and our paradigm-defining internal agent, Operator. With the resources of Salesforce this will only accelerate. And yet little will practically change. I’ll still be CEO, Des will still be running R&D, we’ll both still be committed to continuing to lead this category. Thank you very sincerely and deeply for your belief in us.

To all of our friends, our families, and our employees, past and present: While this is not the end, it is a major, pivotal, special, and emotional moment for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. For everything.

To my cofounders, my exec team: Look what we built. Four young lads with a dream and nothing to lose. And a home grown exec team who pulled off the greatest and arguably only late stage software company pivot to AI, and invented one of the most important categories in AI. Thank you for sticking through all of this with me.

And now, time to get back to work. See you at our next product launch in a couple weeks. (:

@cormachayden_ The thing @jwmares is rightfully saying here is it so obvious that you don’t use your own app at all. Kettle and fire is something you should’ve had in your pantry imo.

[Grant Wilkinson @Grantfw]

@IBIJBPM @jamestmurphy_ I think he did one actual water test one time. I could be wrong.

[Grant Wilkinson @Grantfw]

@jamestmurphy_ Can the settlement be that you buy out (for cheap) or take over oasis and then spin up accurate testing? Not a core product but lots of net good to be had here.

@Shpigford with fast mode would be unreal
