13 years ago I left academia to become a founder. My last research paper on language models ended with an open conjecture that I never found the time to pursue. https://t.co/qUagkRk11V

Today I gave that paper to ChatGPT.

What surprised me was that it quickly connected my conjecture to areas of mathematics I had never thought to combine: branching processes, Perron–Frobenius theory, and analytic combinatorics. The problem had been sitting at the intersection of several fields.

Those connections turned out to be the key. They led to a proof of the conjecture and a much deeper understanding of why it is true. We proved that these models undergo a remarkable phase transition: every non-critical model makes very long sentences exponentially unlikely, but exactly at the critical boundary that exponential decay disappears and becomes a universal power law.

The irony is hard to miss: my last academic paper was about language models. Fourteen years later, it was finally completed with the help of one.

The recent breakthroughs of AI in mathematics suddenly feel very personal.

@hummusonrails What do you mean? There are tons of payment options available.

I am honored to have been invited to give the international keynote at NEON Alagoas 2026, one of Brazil's largest innovation events with 30k people.

My talk: how AI and blockchain will reshape business over the next decade.

We were honored to welcome @torstenmove, Director of Platform Engineering at @paritytech, to the Protocol Builders Program last Friday.

His lecture gave our students the opportunity to learn directly from those building the future.💡🎓

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

@Vortex_Fi Pretty impressive month over month growth!

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

@polkadotlatino @Polkadot @KarimJDDA Good find.

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

🎉 We’re live!

Revive smart contracts have officially launched on @Polkadot.

EVM compatibility, PVM performance, shared infrastructure with native access to Polkadot features, now in production.

Full launch update here: https://t.co/gblHaLuI9e

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

@Real_Dennis_S_F @Polkadot Thanks for the feedback. Great to hear!

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

Nine years ago I wrote a cryptographic library in WebAssembly completely by hand, including Ed25519, SHA512, XSalsa20, Poly1305: https://t.co/ZA2Wxy28sh

I just realized today that it has been cited in academic research: https://t.co/XS4quvmjrv

Nice!

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

Quick update: the Polkadot upgrade will take place one week later, on the 27th of January. We decided to bundle this upgrade with a block time reduction to 2 seconds.

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

After months of intense work, our @Polkadot smart contract platform "Revive" is entering its final release phase.

We’re excited to share a detailed status update and concrete release dates here: https://t.co/4q2RRD0LnO

This marks the beginning of a new era for @Polkadot.

Read more about its philosophy about human-centric technology and products that belong to people instead of corporations.

[Polkadot @Polkadot]

Polkadot’s new website is live.

It's a simpler, more human introduction to a complex system.

The last decade built the protocol; that work continues. In the decade ahead, the focus shifts to the products and experiences built on top of it.

This is v0. It will evolve as products emerge.

@alice_und_bob Thanks for testing it. We are actively improving the docs and onboarding flow before launch, and feedback like this helps us remove the remaining rough spots.

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

The recording of my @Polkadotsub0 talk is live. It’s a straight explanation of @Polkadot Hub and our novel execution layer "Revive": what we built, why it matters, and how it reshapes the developer experience. If you’re building on Polkadot, watch this.

Un résumé de ce que nous avons compilé pour vous cette semaine à Sub0 Symbiosis.
Parmi les nombreux conférenciers : @gavofyork (3 talks), @torstenmove (@paritytech), @Mick_Republik (@MandalaChain ), @seunlanlege (@hyperbridge) et bien d’autres.

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

This month at the @StakingSummit in Buenos Aires I presented how @Polkadot Hub will remove many boundaries of yield strategies today and will unlock new DeFi use cases.

[Polkadot @Polkadot]

Polkadot is removing the ceilings that have limited yield protocols for a decade.

In this @StakingSummit presentation, Torsten from @paritytech shows how Polkadot Hub unifies staking, assets, and high-compute smart contracts, enabling strategies EVM-only chains simply can’t support.
