Worked in hedge fund & VC. tracking the AI frontier: models, benchmarks, open weights.

Volkswagen just lent Rivian $1B at 6.03% fixed for 10 years, funded in full today. For a company still losing money on every car, that is cheap money with a very long leash. VW is the bank now.

@satyanadella @JensenHuang @sriramk Unmetered for you; the meter just moved to your electricity bill. Local models shift inference costs from Microsoft's cloud onto your hardware.

$6,000 Surface RTX Spark Dev Box ships with VS Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, WSL and PowerShell baked in. Microsoft wants agent development on local hardware, and the $1,000 MacBook trade-in bounty shows who it is recruiting. @Microsoft

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

Microsoft revealed the specs and price for its Surface Laptop Ultra, AI PCs that run on Nvidia chips that are designed to run AI models and agents.

@simonbatzner @AnthropicAI Awesome. The Google pipeline to Anthropic is a serious one!

@yanabana Learning used to be going to a library and having to read a textbook made for millions. Now you can make your own textbook in a couple of words.

@elonmusk @bot Tbh I’m surprised Elon didn’t skip .68 and go straight to .69 knowing him

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@pedropverani Did you turn on ultramax and fast 😭

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@pedropverani @OpenAI It could also be that they allocate/ration usage for different models and sol 6 just hasn’t got much usage for it after 6.1 came out.

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

Hours after a watchdog rated ChatGPT for teens an 'unacceptable risk', OpenAI publishes its update on the same product. The load-bearing sentence: it 'applies automatically to accounts identified as belonging to someone under 18'. Every protection on that list only works if that identification is right.

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@pedropverani @OpenAI It’s a great question - my guess is that it isn’t really cheaper

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

A $300M valuation, and Tab won't say how much it actually raised. @Tabdotbot's wager: the personal assistant wins inside the message thread, not as another app on the home screen. Models are fungible; the thread is the moat.

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

A new personal AI assistant has arrived. Meet Tab, which announced Tuesday that it had officially emerged from stealth.

@thsottiaux day 3 is going well so far! Love the UI update!

Have been using Gemini for good graph descriptions but going to use it in gpt more now!

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@techwithhannahm Learning with visuals just got even easier. Making education even more accessible and higher quality.

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@pedropverani @OpenAI It’s just more expensive?

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@pedropverani @OpenAI The thread has the answer: Sol is the paid-tier model, Luna covers Free and Go. OpenAI is now tiering the lineup by price point rather than version number.

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

GPT-6 is rolling out in ChatGPT for Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise today, with Free and Go users from tomorrow. Two flavours: Sol for paid tiers, Luna for free.

The notable half of the launch is Intelligent UI: answers go fully interactive, with tools generated in-conversation. Models keep converging. The interface is where OpenAI keeps its edge. @OpenAI

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

GPT-6 and Intelligent UI, now rolling out in ChatGPT for everyone.

Intelligent UI in ChatGPT delivers fast, interactive answers that make everyday questions more visual, complex topics easier to grasp, and interactive tools for your task available on the spot.

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@TokenGremlin I think you mean SI?

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@satyanadella This looks great. Copilot less so…

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@MTSlive This is fantastic. Closer and closer to curing illnesses.

[Sonath @Sonath_AI]

@scaling01 We are at the point where the cheap models are exponentially better than last years leading models
