Today, we're announcing Heaviside, our foundation model for electromagnetism.

Trained on tens of millions of designs and over 20 years of proprietary simulation data, Heaviside predicts electromagnetic behavior from geometry in 13ms, which is 800,000x faster than a commercial solver.

Heaviside is not a language model, and it’s not a surrogate model. Heaviside marks a new class of foundation model for physics which understands the fundamental relationships between materials, the geometries and the electromagnetic fields they generate.

We’re releasing a research preview of Heaviside in Atlas RF Studio, an interactive agentic sandbox where you describe the EM behavior you want and the model generates the physical structure that produces it.

@arenaphysica , we believe the implications of this class of model extend well beyond RF, as the frontier of exquisite hardware is electromagnetically-governed: wireless communication, radar, power delivery, high-speed computing, and the interconnects inside every chip on earth.

In the months ahead, we’re excited to scale up Heaviside to broader frequency ranges, design spaces, and to support silicon-level designs, and deploy it with our closest partners and collaborators in service of their biggest design challenges.

If you’ve read our thesis, this is just Step 2 in our pursuit of electromagnetic superintelligence.

Scientists just copied a Fruit Fly's biological brain and trapped it inside of a computer.
Not an AI model trained to act like a fly... A total digital copy of a fly !! This is some sick sci-fi stuff:

- They scanned and copied the brain, neuron by neuron, synapse by synapse, from electron microscopy data.
- Then dropped that brain into a simulated body in a video game like environment.

The fly walked. It groomed. It fed. Nobody taught it anything. The behavior was already in the wiring.

The entire premise of modern AI is that intelligence is something you train into a system. This is proof it's something you can transfer out of one. Wild times

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on!

“Searching for Birds” https://t.co/CgFoywkrjq 🐤

A #dataviz article & exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

True.

Once the solar energy generation to robot manufacturing to chip fabrication to AI loop is closed, conventional currency will just get in the way.

Just wattage and tonnage will matter, not dollars.

🚨 GREAT NEWS!

That makes them only the 2nd state in the U.S., after Texas pledged $50M toward ibogaine research in October.

The new bill, HB314 (which passed today at 110 - 1), allows supervised medical trials of ibogaine to treat:

• PTSD (especially in veterans)
• Opioid addiction + withdrawal

Supporters say a single treatment can dramatically reduce cravings and trauma symptoms.

Under current federal law, ibogaine is Schedule I, meaning most Americans have had to travel abroad for treatment.

This finally lets people get help at home.

But lawmakers aren’t pretending it’s risk-free and the bill requires strict medical screening, especially for heart conditions.

This is still, legislatively, a BIG deal...

and a major step toward psychedelics moving from fringe to medicine.

The war on drugs is quietly giving way to the age of drug research.

🇺🇸 ELON JUST CALLED THE EU'S BLUFF - OPEN SOURCING X'S ALGORITHM IN 6 DAYS

@ElonMusk is making X's entire recommendation algorithm public January 17th. Every line of code showing what posts you see and why.

Then updating it every 4 weeks with developer notes.

This is a direct response to France classifying X as an "organized gang," the same legal designation they use for drug cartels and mafia, so they could wiretap employee phones and demand algorithm access.

The EU wants control over what people see online. They fined X $140 million last month, launched probes into "algorithm abuse," and demanded researchers get data access. France wants "experts" to analyze X's code to "uncover the truth" about the platform.

Elon's response: "You want the algorithm? Here's the algorithm. Everyone gets it."

This is 4D chess. EU regulators wanted private access to modify and control.

Instead they're getting public disclosure they can't manipulate. Every competing platform, every researcher, every government on Earth gets the same code at the same time.

You can't secretly pressure someone to censor when the censorship mechanism is open source.

My prediction: EU loses its mind, threatens more fines.

Elon doesn't care. Other platforms forced to follow or look like they're hiding something.

If that's not a classic Elon, what is?

1800s: The Great Plains of North America support the largest herbivore migration in world history. 60 million bison. From Canada to Mexico. Moving in herds that took days to pass a single point.

Beneath their hooves: 3-7 feet of topsoil. The deepest, richest soil on Earth. Built over thousands of years by the exact process the bison represented.

Graze intensely. Move on. Trample plant matter into soil. Fertilize with dung. Let grass recover. Return next year. Repeat for millennia.

The grassland evolved with them. The soil was their creation.

1860s-1880s: The US government has a Native American problem. Plains tribes are mobile, militarily effective, and completely dependent on bison for food, clothing, tools, shelter.

Kill the bison, you kill the tribes' independence.

General Sherman states this explicitly: "Kill every buffalo you can. Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone."

Railroad companies offer bounties. "Buffalo hunters" kill thousands per day. The carcasses are left to rot. Sometimes just the tongue is taken. The rest wasted.

60 million bison in 1800. Less than 1,000 by 1889.

Native Americans forced onto reservations. The stated goal achieved.

But the land notices.

Without bison hooves breaking soil crust, rain runs off instead of penetrating. Without bison dung, soil microbes starve. Without intense grazing followed by rest, grasses can't regenerate properly.

The topsoil that took 10,000 years to build begins disappearing.

1930s: The Dust Bowl. Topsoil literally blows away. Farms destroyed. Millions displaced. Massive economic collapse. Ecological catastrophe.

"Experts" blame farmers for plowing marginal land. They ignore the obvious: The soil was fine for 10,000 years with 60 million bison. It lasted 40 years without them.

The bison weren't destroying the land by grazing. They were building the soil through the very process we eliminated.

Today: The Great Plains has 48 million cattle. That's 25% fewer large ruminants than existed naturally as bison.

Yet cattle are blamed for environmental destruction on land that was literally built by large ruminants doing exactly what cattle do now.

The American Serengeti had 60 million grazers and the deepest topsoil on Earth. We killed them, destroyed the soil within decades, and now blame their replacements for the damage.
