This post discusses the financial success of professionals working in AI infrastructure (such as chips, compute, and backend systems) rather than AI research, noting that infrastructure workers are be

Fine-tuning used to mean a team, a GPU cluster, and weeks of iteration. Now it's just a CLI command, ~10 min of GPU time, a few cents of compute. You walk away owning the weights. Open models off the

For anyone who isn't sure, this is how you release a model and talk about the performance. Not 3-5 cherry-picked benchmarks. Performance：Qwen3.7-Max performs strongly across benchmarks in coding agent

Full interview with Sundar is now live! https://x.com/rowancheung/status/2057491344697012384?s=20 Google just revealed Omni, personalized cross-device intelligence, and Spark agents at I/O 2025. I sat

FWIW, I think this moves up my AI timelines a bit. I think the next milestone will be 'Artificial *Grothendieck* Intelligence' (AGrI): defining new general mathematical structures to solve the hardest

Here's more about Datasette Agent on my blog: https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/21/datasette-agent/ - and the announcement on the new Datasette project blog too: https://datasette.io/blog/2026/datase

He's right. And it has a direct implication for code review that nobody's talking about. Think about why AI cracked coding before almost everything else. Not because code is simple. Because code is ch

Hugging Face just released LeRobot Humanoid An open-source, low-cost (~$2.5k), 3D-printed humanoid built for robot learning and not just demos. What’s cool is it’s a full stack release: • hardware + C

@huggingface's @LeRobotHF team announced LeRobot Humanoid, an open-source bipedal robot platform built for roughly $2,500 using mostly 3D-printed and off-the-shelf parts: The release provides complete

I called my engineer friend at SpaceX the other day. 1am Pacific. 3am in Starbase. He was still in the office and not going home any time soon. And he was happy. Energized. Because he's directly influ

I don’t know why people talk in absolutes about agentic design. Especially for coders and builders. We just invented this stuff. It’s wild to think it won’t radically change over the next year. We’re

I don't think anyone has a good intuitive sense about what this means, and that failure of imagination is a generally bad thing for planning, investment, and policy. I also don't have an easy solution

i feel like there's a general misunderstanding about open source models. most people use a frontier model, switch the api request to open source model, see poor performance, and then churn off. this w

If this is true, using the best public estimates we have of LLM resource use, solving this Erdos problem took 0.6–6.3 kWh of electricity and about 3–31 liters of water. So that is less than three almo

It’s crazy that OpenAI and xAI were built partly as ways to mitigate @demishassabis’s power and how both are more reckless and less focused on the good part, viz AI for science. And then Anthropic was
