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

Day 3 dilemma Another 3-5,000 word blog on something interesting or should I strip it back to 800-1,000 words for wider readership? Should I discuss the equations of AI and get a bit technical or keep

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

Jerry Liu suggested that users who don’t want to rely on a “fly brain” approach for reading PDFs could instead use an OCR solution called **llamaparse** hosted at *cloud.llamaindex.ai*. The tweet, pos

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

Reasoning from scratch round 3: This time, I cover generating a verifier for... a) ...evaluation (base model versus any future model improvement) b) ...the reinforcement learning with verifiable rewar

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

Should you build an agent harness? I see lots of opinions about it. My thoughts: As an AI engineer, learning how to build a harness is one of the best ways to stay ahead and unlock unique value from a

Slowdown or no, OpenAI and Anthropic are like someone trying to sell billions of bottles of Perrier at £1,000 each. OpenAI and Anthropic are trying to sell us Perrier water at £1,000 a bottle in a wor

This is all I will say on the matter: It’s alarming to see the constant effort to try to tell me how I should use AI, how I should build AI, and now how I should pace it. Is it just me, or are all the

This is pretty neat: ChatGPT Work and GPT-6 Astra (I used 'Max') can take an address and produce a 5K/10K circular running route starting from that address, using OSM data https://simonwillison.net/20

This is what Dario and Sama fear - - the cost of fine tuned open source models trained on custom data was 95% less than the frontier models - And they performed better than the frontier models - And t

Wild 24 hours for AI and lots of different proposals have been made. TLDR; the only *tangible* new fact is that OpenAI and Anthropic are going to have embedded 3rd party evaluators from unknown organi

About a year ago, before it was on anyone's radar, we began exploring the idea of a benchmark for open-ended invention. Since then, we've developed several promising directions that will serve as the

Also worth noting the professed anxiety about this, at least in the tone of the posts: Anthropic's post: https://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontier#top OpenAI's post: https://openai.com/in

alternative theory: people who are good at training LLMs aren’t necessarily equally competent at calculating expected value. I cannot imagine the cognitive dissonance it would take to keep working in

Dario is making the case for the opposite. This actually makes our life harder and makes it easier for others to catch up with us, but we still think it is the right thing to do. Happy to come on the

Dario is right We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of th

Day 2 of my daily blog I dive deep into @DarioAmodei’s proposal but don’t see how it can logically hold. Intelligence is too often viewed as a crime. I discuss why & what to do about it. Also note Ope
