So the engineers era has ended and the codeing ended as anthropic say for the past years but now they do this ??
Claude Frontier Academy: $100M to train 10,000 engineers \ Anthropic https://t.co/Lk9UKcXCGQ
Introducing Madhuram-v1, a 151M-parameter language model trained on 1T tokens.
It leads 9 of 17 pretraining benchmarks against LFM2.5-230M, Gemma 3 270M and SmolLM2-135M, models trained on 2-19x more data.
Here's the full breakdown. 🧵
you don't need a frontier model to click buttons.
i built taiga-s1 - a tiny 1.2M param system-1 model that builds complete 3D parts in freecad.
>~1ms per decision & runs locally.
>your agent plans & taiga executes.

@parcadei I think you will get idea if you read this post https://t.co/d1Waj947EO the replays gold mine you have better understanding and more thoughtful mindset
They were building in stealth for 2 years, I was building in stealth for 2 hours…
Happy to open source Qwen-2.5-1B-RLCD, 5x faster on-device inference for JSON workloads that need to be type-safe.
⚡️Demo below on a M4 MacBook⚡️
every LLM has the ability to efficiently batch inference every key of a JSON at the same time and generate probabilities from a set of possible categories. No new training required, but it’s easy to optimize if you need!
On hugging face now!
one CPU core can look at 28.8 million packets a second before the Linux kernel even wakes up
that's XDP. it runs inside the network driver, before the kernel allocates memory for the packet, before there's a socket, before there's a stack.
it just gets to decide: keep this, or throw it away, right now
most backend engineers never touch this layer in their whole career. I think that's a shame, because the stuff built on top of it is wild:
- Cloudflare drops over 10 million packets a second per core with it. they've auto-mitigated 100+ attacks above 2 billion packets per second, one of them a 3.8 Tbps flood, and nobody on their team touched a keyboard
- Meta's load balancer (Katran) runs this at every Facebook data center. the old way, iptables-style, tops out around a million packets a second per core and pins the CPU at 90% doing it. Katran does 10-100x that
- Cilium uses the same trick to rip iptables out of Kubernetes entirely. their own benchmarks show p99 network latency dropping from 45ms to under 2ms after the switch
all three are the same idea wearing different hats: read the packet before the OS does, decide fast, skip everything you don't need
I got curious enough to build a tiny version myself, an XDP load balancer with Maglev hashing, no shortcuts.
on one core of a normal laptop it pushed 9 million+ packets a second with zero drops. that's a laptop, not a data center NIC
code's here if you want to see how it works (written in Zig btw):

what's the most "the kernel isn't supposed to be able to do that" thing you've seen eBPF pull off?
@emmalsalinas I just get fedup with many many tools and just make my own its use the browser and whan there is an error adapter to make it work i love it i have build it on top of page agent from qwen team
If you’re a CS student, I’d suggest writing your thesis around SDCs (silent data corruptions) and efficient algorithmic fault tolerance.
We’re quickly going to need to accept the (un)reliability of computing systems again!
Every indicator (density, lower voltage gating, raw scale) is moving towards SDCs becoming a more serious issue over the next decade. And let’s not forget when all of this stuff starts to go in space and we have to deal with cosmic events on “not-super-rad-hard” CPUs+GPUs!
No, you can’t solve it all in hardware. It’s prohibitively expensive; and the long tail of “potential SDCs” is just too long. One bad apple ruins your pie. One bad GPU can inject repeated corruptions into otherwise noise-tolerant workloads (*cough* AI training).
If you continuously accept a corrupted value from say…a bad tensor core, that bad value can quickly spread across the whole cluster. If it happens again and again and again and no one notices; it’s like putting a little bit of spin on a bowling ball. Eventually, the overall trajectory ends up widely different!
When you start to imagine this stuff being in space (cosmic bit flips), and quantized(!), each remaining bit carries more critical information. Long term we’re going to have to accept clever, low-overhead software algorithms.
Accepting say, a ~3% perf loss can be *absolutely* worth it if it increases your odds of detecting a mercurial core enough!
Upon reflection, I am not at all surprised by Dario's hawkishness. He's sincere and he's making sense, under assumptions that look plausible from his vantage point.
I think Dario and Wenfeng are the only two Serious AI leaders (with the increasingly irrelevant exception of Demis), and their motivations are very similar. Both can think beyond AI and even beyond business or tech, they want their respective civilization to survive and realize its potential. Both see this won't happen by default, prefer hope to cope, and assume responsibility; because someone has to, and nobody else will. They are, essentially, superior men. (I still hate Dario because he's morally wrong and dumb. But he's not a petty man, and that counts).
Dario is San Francisco born and raised, a Putnam contestant, a Princeton scientist. Just look at him, at how he dresses or moves, at the design language of Claude (Claude who?), the Superbowl ad. Here is a man who wasn't born for a B2B SaaS era; he belongs in Los Alamos or Xerox PARC, he's homesick for a world that ended before his birth, and he looks almost racially alien in the transmogrified 2020s California. And I think the whole contemporary EA thing, with group houses and weird sex, disfigures his fate rather than defines him; though he'd have always found a weird camp and an ideological hill to die on – back then, he'd have been either a red diaper baby or an autistic ahh eugenicist like Shockley (or both). It's no wonder he despises Altman, who's a commensurate merchant, if terrifyingly optimized.
In his essays, Dario says quite clearly – and people on both sides of the debate miss it – that AGI is the only chance of America and more broadly the West to remain dominant or, indeed, at all relevant. He hopes to end the CCP, but the top priority is closer to home. Pay attention: in "On DeepSeek and Export Controls" he doesn't doompost about Chinese *priority to AGI*, about the risk of them "winning the race". He says: "if they achieve mere PARITY, if they merely ALSO have millions of chips in the critical window 2026-2028, we are COOKED, we don't get a bipolar world, we just get a Chinese hegemony".
He is NOT racist towards the Chinese; he might be one of the least racist people in the game. He looks at the US, at his beloved home, the beacon of liberty and harbinger of Fukuyama's end of history and all that, he steps over a fentanyl zombie in his hometown, and understands that on a fairly short horizon this bitch will get its shit pushed in over Taiwan, kicked out of the Eastern Pacific, evicted from global markets, and brought to its knees. He looks at Trump and Hegseth and sees brutish monkeys at the end of imperial lifecycle. He sees what @Bluebearmonkey sees: butthurt wypipos who can't do mafs, coping and seething. He sees the writing on the wall.
Forget ending history – not getting ended will depend on CCP's goodwill. As for why he doesn't believe that will be forthcoming, this is another matter. Suffice to say he doesn't think relying on their goodwill would be dignified. Fair enough.
Luckily, he's not a random chud lamenting the fallen West and quaking in terror of the Yellow Peril. He's the CEO of an ideologically cohesive, very rich, very well-connected frontier AGI company. And AGI means he gets to change the timeline. All of these Chinese advantages – workforce, STEM graduates, industrial integration, dual use supply chains, non-retarded and strategically patient governance – all of them are as dust before a sufficiently superior, widely deployed AGI, and then ASI! His essays lay out a pretty clear ladder. 6 months of a gap result in unstable bipolarity. One year of a gap is enough to achieve minimal viable defense in cyber domain. Two years of a gap is enough to speak from a position of strength about slowing down Chinese AI. Three years, and it's "WWII marines versus Medieval swordsmen", flawless victory, a victory so cheap it can be had in passing, like the Venezuela operation, irrespective of lacking political will at home. And then, history might finally end with the triumph of liberal democracy. He does explicitly cite Fukuyama and set this target, he's very quaint in such things. For him, Francis is unambiguously a prophet; the world just doesn't measure up yet. Time to repair the world. Most people can't understand. They'll say he's hyping for IPO, that he's attempting regulatory capture, that he's racist, EA, fumbled a baddie, a Jew, can't compete… whatever. Dario doesn't care, he has a cult called Anthropic and a clear goal: survival and victory for his civilization. That goal is also threatened by the AGI effort per se; so Dario calls for pacing the frontier. But he doesn't lose sight of the other, human threat. So it can sound a bit bonkers how he talks of the risks of extinction but is still so psychotically focused on beating China. Those are the same concerns.
Wenfeng is also a man out of his era. He's a very classical natural Chinese elite; maybe a Confucian junzi, maybe a Taoist mystic. He looks at his people and sees an endless sea of xiaoren who've been conditioned to hustle and grind and cut corners rather than dream and create, he sees myopic fast-following, fear of abstract thought, lack of confidence, revenue-maxxing corporations who'd poach a washed-up VP from Google and burn money on traffic buying rather than invest in domestic talent and innovation, and the dark shadow of American AGI that folks like Dario will use to forever lock them in this – or even more degrading, forever irrelevant – condition. He understands that nobody else is stepping up; the Heaven has appointed him on this task, to provide the means and to educate by example. He makes enough money to not have to bow and scrape before arrogant investors. He buys 10K A100s. He creates DeepSeek – and I repeat, without certainty that it'll work, DeepSeek 深度求索 is a quote from Li Sao, an ancient story of a virtuous minister who was slandered at the court and drowned himself – and he delves into the unknown. DeepSeek is, in some ways, a cult too.
Most people can't understand. They'll say it's a side hobby of High-Flyer, to squeeze the GPUs used for trading stocks. They'll say he's a price butcher; they'll say he's subsidized; they'll say he's arrogant or can't do business or lost touch when he doesn't serve them their favorite goon bot or raises prices to free up compute for R&D. They don't get how petty their whole way of thinking is and how serious this all has become. Researchers of the caliber he needs – do understand. Maybe that'll be enough. By Wenfeng's estimate, China is up to 18 months behind. That's aligned with Dario's victory condition. He wants to make it 3 months, which is Dario's unstable bipolarity condition. So they are necessarily at odds.
Wenfeng probably can understand Dario. Dario might be too blinkered and ideological to try to understand Wenfeng. But they're both serious men, and their motivations are very easy to understand for me. They are, however, both inscrutable for the petty.
