Climbing with no distillation, like the Big Boys do, has been super fun! Read the tech report for a taste of our ̶s̶u̶f̶f̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ journey

@ShriramKMurthi I've yet to see him deliver with a high pressure chase!

You're not frontier if you don't have an office at Kings Cross!

@_arohan_ @MillionInt Not even close on multimodal understanding!

@Steve_Yegge Maybe tell your buddy to do some actual work and to stop spreading absolute nonsense. This post is completely false and just pure clickbait.

@caglarml @avt_im Oh, I've been to conferences in the US where they didn't know what Caltech was. So I don't know if this is a EU vs US difference, or general ignorance of many good unis across the globe.

@deanwball @_ueaj How does Anthropic's harness work?

Cyber is the first clear and present danger from frontier AI models, but it won’t be the last. If we are able to collectively rise to the challenge and confront this risk, it could serve as a blueprint for addressing the even more difficult challenges that lie ahead of us.

@prajdabre How many PhD students did the lab normally have? Thats like 7.5MM a year, that's about 250 students at my PhD wages (slightly dated, but not ancient)

Using AI to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem at warehouse scale. 📦

AlphaEvolve helped FM Logistic improve its routing algorithm by 10.4%, resulting in a reduction of total warehouse travel by over 15,000 km per year. 🚚

A great example of how @GoogleDeepMind and @googlecloud are using AlphaEvolve to help companies become more efficient.

@reasoningmodels @SawyerMerritt Extending the same line of reasoning, Apple & Google should have a valuation of 14 T (they're both around ~4.5x smaller)

@deedydas Very good engagement farming!

@sedielem @volokuleshov I understand Elon's tweet as implying it's the modeling paradigm that all the hype should be about, not the architecture. He knows it all.

@srodan Don't know if the Bengals famine victims fully agree.

I'd like to thank @daniel_rossett for his help in my recovery from the POTS version of Long COVID. Daniel was key in bringing me back from highly disabled and suffering to being able to do what I want to again.

This X account is mostly focused on ML / AI. From that point of view, many of you know that in December 2024, I wasn't able to do the test of time award talk at NeurIPS, even by video call. Daniel started working
with me in March 2025. By April, I started to have days of no POTS symptoms, by June I was off all heart rate lowering medications, by September I was back to work. I'm back to full exercise, running, lifting weights, mountain biking, and have even done things I hadn't done before I got sick, like riding Whistler Mountain Bike Park.

I'm now getting the word out to help Daniel build a company that will bring this approach to more people.

@sunny2dutta @original_ngv "You cannot chose any major you want. You have to take appropriate courses say Intro to Programming, math courses if you do well there you can chose a CS major"-- this isn't true. You need to make it through a set of core courses, that set of courses is the same for all majors.

@__apf__ @devahaz @rohindhar As someone who lives in central-ish London, 2000ft is like the Buckingham Palace.
