We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.

We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

Reading all those recent beautiful essays by Terry Tao, Kevin Buzzard and @wtgowers, I could not resist, but write up my deeply personal perspective on how I perceive and see things:

My first blog post in over a year is a deep dive on flow maps🗺️, or how to learn the integral of a diffusion model to enable faster sampling and several other cool tricks.

It's the longest one yet👀 Let me know what you think!

The balls behind the horizontal lines are all the same color.

This is called the Munker illusion.

Some gradients between two colours look good, others suck. It's easy to tell the difference, but what *is* that difference?

May I invite you to a fun thread about a delightful quirk of relativity theory? Starting with a simple fact about rotations, I’ll hope to give you some intuition about something that’s considered wildly counterintuitive: velocity addition. Intrigued? Buckle up!

In a major scientific breakthrough, the latest version of #AlphaFold has been recognised as a solution to one of biology's grand challenges - the “protein folding problem”. It was validated today at #CASP14, the biennial Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (1/3)

@karpathy Should just say f''(c)(x-a)^2/2 where c in (min(x,a), max(x,a)). Because don't forget about all those higher order brothers in the Taylor family!

Grad school ain’t no joke. Even though I had an awesome year in terms of research contributions and awards, I struggled to adapt academic norms and while being the best version of self. After reflecting all summer, I wanted to share this thread for thriving in grad school.
