@ozansozuoz @thsottiaux Nice 🤣

[Verious B. Smith III @verioussmith]

@charliebcurran That's awesome

[Verious B. Smith III @verioussmith]

@thsottiaux Back to Vampire Coding

[Verious B. Smith III @verioussmith]

@thdxr It's whole new game

[Verious B. Smith III @verioussmith]

This is exciting and true🔥

[dax @thdxr]

i have seen enough proof now that using a coding agent is a deep skill

it's confusing because the people you see heavily using them produce horrible results

but that's because it's a skill! you can get better and the ceiling seems pretty high - this is very exciting to me

You aren’t starting a company. You’re laying bricks in the foundation of a skyscraper.

Used MiniMax 2.7 again after using GPT-5.5 for a while. The intelligence gap is noticeable.

Hungry Hippo Rockets 🚀

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@SciGuySpace Maybe we should make a “Hungry Hippo” version of Starship one day to collect and de-orbit spent rocket stages and other space junk

[Verious B. Smith III @verioussmith]

Heck yeah! @badlogicgames giving out life cheats is what life is all about!

introducing pipi, the shitty robot.

brain lives on my laptop, sensors/UI live on the mounted phone. time to completion: 24h (minus sleep, knight festival, lunch, dinner, and play)

Grok foundation model V9-Medium (1.5T) has finished training. Evals look good. A lot of Cursor data was added in supplementary training and there is more to come.

Fine-tuning is underway and reinforcement learning begins in a few days. 2 to 3 weeks to public release.

This will be a major improvement over the 0.5T v8-small that currently serves all Grok production traffic, especially for difficult coding tasks.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@eliebakouch We will open source the 0.5T model towards the end of this year. It should still be quite useful.

[Verious B. Smith III @verioussmith]

Well that's good

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Iran’s president officially orders the reopening of international internet access after nearly 90 days of blackout.

[Verious B. Smith III @verioussmith]

Interesting 🤔
