i'm flattered by the shoutout, but there's no free lunch for document parsing Cohere parse starts at $1.50 / 1k pages, which is indeed on the cheaper end of doc OCR solutions, but it scores ~50% when

Introducing PC-ALM, a local-learning alternative to backpropagation. Our method trains 1000-layer neural nets using only local dynamics, and without backprop. Blog: https://pub.sakana.ai/pc-alm/ Stand

just-in-time OCR is all the rage. most pipelines parse every page before anyone asks a question. for an agent working through an ad-hoc data room, that's slow, expensive, and most of those pages never

“Just-in-Time” OCR The latest agent harnesses (e.g. Cowork, Codex, Grok) do 2 passes of ad-hoc document processing when executing over a user-uploaded ‘data room’ of documents: 1️⃣ A fast and light pa

Michael Burry is saying exactly what i have been saying, for ages. The AI industry better hope we are both wrong Breaking: Michael Burry says OpenAI and Anthropic are faking the AI warnings due to slo

MUST SEE: Amazing moment as President Trump calls Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang while he's on stage at the All-In Summit. @POTUS on AI Doomerism: “I'm telling you, it's all a hoax… and we're not going to le

OK, let me irritate everyone for a moment ... The non cynical view here is that the labs are trying to navigate impending, unsophisticated federal regulation and a 'high strung', well financed doomer

okay wow. per folks there, Trump called Jensen huang in the middle of his interview and jensen put the phone on speakerphone Jensen thanked trump for his social media post this morning pouring cold wa

On building an agent harness from scratch. Got so many questions about where to get started. My short guide (feed it to your agent): If you really want to learn harnesses well, it's worth building one

> One could even define intelligence as the efficiency with which one converts experience into competence; by this definition they lag very far behind us Yes, one could define intelligence in this way

One point that people aren't discussing re @DarioAmodei's essay. In 2016, DeepMind brought in third-party evaluators to monitor its AI health work. The result was messy. It's a cautionary tale. Gift l

One thing will defeat the AI Doomers easily: Time. Little by little things will change and AI will diffuse into everyday people's lives and they'll realize it wasn't the scary bedtime story Harry Pott

Proud to report that tomorrow Sept 15th 'The AI Doc' documentary film will be streaming on Netflix. Feeling confused, anxious, or overwhelmed by the recent AI headlines, from rogue OpenAI agents carry

short summary of GPT-6 Astra and why it doesn’t bail OpenAI out of its economic mess: they have made lots of progress (partly using neurosymbolic techniques!) on problems that can be formally verified

The world deserves confidence that American companies developing increasingly capable AI will act responsibly, especially as the trajectory of progress has steepened. Every frontier lab must deliver o

This reaction (not the specific post but the overall take), entirely out of touch with the American public, will be Trump’s final undoing. A gift to the dems in the midterms, though. President Trump's

Well, I’d add one more with myself, as one with a PhD in biology and another PhD in AI and now working in both, to make n=2. Generating a hypothetical genome blueprint of a virus from LLM versus gener

What does it mean to pace the frontier? Over the last month, @random_walker and I have analyzed the loss-of-control incidents at AI companies to understand what technical and policy interventions can

2019: “GPT2 is groundbreaking in two ways. One is its size, says Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s research director. The models “were 12 times bigger, and the dataset was 15 times bigger and much broader” than

A brilliant suggestion by @GaryMarcus because, in the end, companies are offering AI as a product. It can be recalled or its deployment paused; its manufacturers can be held to account for its failure

Actually, Jacob Coxon (@hilbertspaess), “there is a strong chance that we could all die in the immediate future. It's not at all an exaggeration” is itself a wild exaggeration. I laid out exactly why

【AIの難問は、生命の難問へ：英国王立協会が紐解く「世界モデル」と知能の未来】 近年のAIの急速な発展により、AGI、すなわち人間並みの知能はすでに実現したという意見も聞かれるようになりました。果たしてそうなのでしょうか。 鍵となるのが「世界モデル（World Model）」の概念です。 世界モデルとは、生き物やAIが外の世界を内部に写し取り、次に何が起きるかを予測して行動するための土台となるもの

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead. You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue

Does anyone have any idea how this could vaguely be possible given the nature of and various routes to RSI? I am not being facetious I genuinely don’t know how this could be constructed or implemented

Excited to continue our partnership with the @alibaba_cloud team on this one, bringing the latest version of Qwen's flaship model to the Fireworks community. Start building with Qwen3p8 today: https:/

I cannot emphasize enough how much GPT-6 Astra and Fable 5.1 are already enough for transformative impact in large sections of the economy. They can reliably do weeks worth of human work when properly

I must be among an extremely small group of people (n=1?) that have both 1) trained a frontier LLM and 2) designed and synthesized custom viruses in a lab with my own two hands. And I think that the t

I think once remote connections to “your” Claude or Astra or Claw or whatever become easier and more common, on-phone assistants like Siri will lose a lot of value. You want one smart AI managing ever

Many concerns this weekend about slowing down AI, some targeting open models. We need to be responsible. But we can't let this slow down, or worse, prohibit open models. It's the wrong risk. Open mode

Gary Marcus tweeted that OpenAI and Anthropic do not want to become the next failed premium device like Juicero. He warns of the risk of offering an overpriced, niche product that fails to catch on. C

Seems like the intersection of the recent @OpenAI rogue swarm hacking incident (https://x.com/adamsafron/status/2098938666408407118) with solving Navier–Stokes has created a perfect storm of terror ab
