AI-soluble domains (cyber, math) now seem to be a dark forest where humming datacenters redeploy 10K agent swarms of compute toward the most worthy problems.

Just knowing that a vulnerability exists or a math problem may be solvable is sufficient to attract such a swarm.

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

I've really been enjoying Muse and I think they have really nailed the permissioning and secrets manager, which feels increasingly important as we let agents take on more scope in our lives.

[Alexandr Wang @alexandr_wang]

1/ today we're rolling out Muse, our new personal ai assistant. Muse is always-on, wicked fast, can use a browser, connect to your apps, and is designed to be secure.

try it now: https://t.co/n7swQh9v6C.

@colosseum @tempo 👇

[atown @AtownBrown]

If you're building in the payments space, you should 100% be building on @tempo

Here is a really fantastic opportunity to hack on something with @colosseum and show us where you are innovating!

Bonus points from me personally if you are at the forefront of integrating @mpp or gearing up for the @openstandard $OUSD launch

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

Excited to see what gets built on Tempo at this hackathon from @colosseum (S-tier hackathon organizers)

[Colosseum @colosseum]

1/ We’re excited to unveil the second of 8 dedicated hackathon tracks for Crypto World’s Fair.

The Tempo track, supported by @Tempo, will award $100,000 across the top 10 startups integrating with the Tempo blockchain.

It’s been great to see more and more payment flows come on-chain @tempo

[Tempo @tempo]

Tempo recently crossed $1 billion in 30-day stablecoin transfer volume.

@wessorh If you read the longer prompt, we specify a “B300 equivalent GPU on contemporary LLMs”

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

GPU World: A story competition from Neal Stephenson, Gwern, and me.

The AI future is unevenly distributed. What would the world look like with AI broadly diffused, such as if we had one GPU per person?

1000-5000 words, fiction or non-fiction.

$100K in total prizes.

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

@Shedletsky Let’s say it’s roughly an equivalent amount of daily compute as today’s B300 w contemporary LLMs

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

@bai0 @mov_axbx Don’t take the 1 GPU bit too literally — we specify a B300 equivalent GPU for a reason!

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

@MartinShkreli Write it!

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

@nic_carter thank you. you have the words ;)

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

Yep, from guidlines: "LLM use is permitted, but discouraged; we remind participants that LLM use tends to reduce originality and writing quality, and the flaws are especially obvious when LLM outputs are read as a group---unskillful use of LLMs will reduce the odds of being the best entry. We request disclosure of AI use."

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

@wschwab_ Fixing!

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

@ansonyuu these are great concepts!

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

@brian_armstrong Thank you for your submission -- you were the first!

Yes, interesting point on AI. Maybe we hide the AI scores from the judging.

[Matt Huang @matthuang]

@Alfred_Lin The next Sunday Thoughts?
