I’m incredibly excited to share this:

MiniMax has just closed a new $2B funding round. 🚀

At the same time, our CEO, IO, shared three long-term commitments with the team:

• No salary until we achieve AGI.
• Over the next four years, he will dedicate shares equivalent to 4% of the company’s total equity from his personal holdings to reward employees who are building MiniMax for the long term.
• Another 1% will be committed to supporting the open-source community.

The funding is exciting. But what excites me even more is what it represents: a long-term commitment to AGI, to our people, and to the open-source ecosystem.

We’re living through one of the most exciting moments in the history of AI, and we’re just getting started.

If you’re passionate about frontier AI, open source, and building the future, we’d love to build with you.

Intelligence with Everyone. 🚀

Ex-NVIDIA engineer who built Unsloth explained RL, kernels, reasoning, quantization, and agents in 2 hours 42 minutes - better than $5000 fine-tuning bootcamps.

pick the base model -> write triton kernels for 2x faster fine-tune -> quantize to 4-bit -> run GRPO/DPO -> ship a reasoning model on your single GPU.

That loop is why Unsloth is the default way to fine-tune Llama, Qwen, Gemma, and Phi on hardware you already own.

Unsloth + Triton kernels + 4-bit quantization + GRPO/DPO + single-GPU fine-tuning - that's the stack.

Watch and save it, then fine-tune your first model tonight.

1/ muse spark 1.1 is an industry-competitive agentic and coding model. across many agentic evals it rivals gpt-5.5 and opus-4.8.

available now through the new meta model api and in meta ai. 🧵

local 1T parameter models are now only $94,000. I don't think we've ever seen a cost curve get pushed to zero as quickly as AI. We live in a prosperity era

[will brown @willccbb]

we raised $130M @ $1B for our series A

>$100M run rate

we’re just getting started

This guy is the fucking grim reaper for ML engineers

Our fleet of 2,500+ GPUs is live across Kansas City, Philadelphia, and Atlanta. It's a distributed U.S. footprint, deployed and running today, putting real capacity close to the teams that depend on it. And there's even more coming online soon.

guys, DoorDash has its own AI lab.

Midjourney 8.2 skin textures!

Fireeee

[will brown @willccbb]

love @dylan522p podcasts bc he just leaks lab secrets by accident as supporting evidence for arguments he’s making. like apparently gpt-4o was around 600b parameters, and openai models are now much sparser than anthropic models

[Philip Kiely @philipkiely]

Local and datacenter inference engineers face different constraints, but we have a lot to learn from one another.

Thanks for the conversation Sero!

The Odyssey 4D experience?

[Lukas Ziegler @lukas_m_ziegler]

Finally, someone automating the boring infrastructure stuff! 🫟

Road markings is tough. Nobody cares about them until they're gone. Then suddenly everyone's mad.

But someone has to paint those lines, in traffic, in bad weather, repetitively.

So 10LINES built a robot that just... does it.

Workers don't have to stand in live traffic anymore.

Digital mapping. Data-driven operations. The robot knows what it painted and where.

Quite productive I would say :)

This is the stuff nobody talks about in robotics.

Not sexy like other embodiements, but a robot handling infrastructure work that's dangerous and tedious.

Roads, parking lots, tunnels, all need this.

@TheAhmadOsman Cool. I’m at AIE. Where will this be? Moscone?

your startup only exists because the ai labs have shown you mercy
