We just passed React on GitHub stars. 🦞
Let that sink in. A personal AI assistant built by a lobster-obsessed Austrian and an army of crustacean enthusiasts just outstarred the library that powers half the internet.
We shipped 90+ changes today. They shipped a conference.
An AI Summit that sidelines its own builders?

Meanwhile — exhibitors, delegates, startup founders left outside. No water. No clarity.
Media shows celebration. Ground reality was chaos.
If access was limited to select high-value guests, just say it upfront.
Don’t mobilize the ecosystem and then displace them.
This is not how we build India’s AI future. @abhish18@GoI_MeitY@PMOIndia #AiSummit #aiImpactSummit
New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage.
Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science.
And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments.
This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.
Hey @Wati_io , been trying to log in since noon, getting stuck on a 2FA OTP screen even though it’s not enabled. Created two tickets, sent emails, but still no response. Please look into this urgently. It’s blocking our business operations.
Introducing Bunny - world's first curiosity device for kids
It’s screenfree..it’s portable..
We raised $1M from @southpkcommons to reimagine how kids thrive in the age of AI, safely.
Comment 'Bunny'. Our nephew will pick 50 families that get it for free this holiday season…
Introducing Veo 2, our new, state-of-the-art video model (with better understanding of real-world physics & movement, up to 4K resolution). You can join the waitlist on VideoFX. Our new and improved Imagen 3 model also achieves SOTA results, and is coming today to 100+ countries in ImageFX.
Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today.
Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out.
We too are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Here is what we know:
- Last night, Sam got a text from Ilya asking to talk at noon Friday. Sam joined a Google Meet and the whole board, except Greg, was there. Ilya told Sam he was being fired and that the news was going out very soon.
- At 12:19pm, Greg got a text from Ilya asking for a quick call. At 12:23pm, Ilya sent a Google Meet link. Greg was told that he was being removed from the board (but was vital to the company and would retain his role) and that Sam had been fired. Around the same time, OpenAI published a blog post.
- As far as we know, the management team was made aware of this shortly after, other than Mira who found out the night prior.
The outpouring of support has been really nice; thank you, but please don’t spend any time being concerned. We will be fine. Greater things coming soon.
