Had a bit of fun yesterday building an LLM (Nanochat) and fine-tuning GPT2 at one of @ianozsvald AI playgroups.

Prompted Claude Code a couple of times to make a video to explain what we got up to (it built it using Remotion and OpenAi voice)

I got early access to Project Genie from @GoogleDeepMind ✨

It's unlike any realtime world model I've tried - you generate a scene from text or a photo, and then design the character who gets to explore it.

I tested dozens of prompts. Here are the standout features 👇

@DMTool1 @emkenobi @elonmusk @POTUS @FLOTUS Oh, is it a hilarious joke?

Axiom sets out to build an AI mathematician.

We are the underdog.

4 months old, 2 years late to the game, under 10 FTEs (recently grew to 17), and had 1:5 in funding and in valuation to our competitor.

Today, AxiomProver solved Erdos Problems #124 and #481 in Lean, a 100% verifiable language.

Onwards!

Billionaire hedge fund manager makes case for taxing billionaires to address our nearly bankrupt governments. Makes more sense than killing public services, the middle class or Stopping Boats:

After building multiple AI agents in production, I'm convinced 90% of current approaches are fundamentally broken, Most companies are building expensive chatbots and calling them "agents." Here's what actually works (and what doesn't):

Sam Altman says he’s less interested in replacing coders (100% automation) — and more focused on making them 10x more productive. That could happen this year.

@Malinoisx3 @rustyrockets Yeah, going after the real movers and shakers 🤦‍♂️

@Acyn Just raise your concerns guys, easy

[Google Gemini @GeminiApp]

Gemini 2.5 Pro is taking off 🚀🚀🚀

The team is sprinting, TPUs are running hot, and we want to get our most intelligent model into more people’s hands asap.

Which is why we decided to roll out Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental) to all Gemini users, beginning today.

Try it at no cost at https://t.co/lc7BAJqH5u

@elonmusk Isn’t bribing people to vote a certain way election fraud?

[RepresentUs @representus]

🚨 BREAKING: Trump just signed an executive order in a federal power-grab of state elections, forcing states to adopt his rules, or risk losing funding. It’s one of the most extreme attempts to centralize power over elections in U.S. history.

@StephenKing Don’t make it tribal, that’s divisive

@elonmusk I’m maybe they wanted high paying jobs? Run a survey, you’re supposed to be into data

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Gemma 3 is here! Our new open models are incredibly efficient - the largest 27B model runs on just one H100 GPU. You'd need at least 10x the compute to get similar performance from other models ⬇️
