Our partners @LangChain generate billions of tokens of agent traces a day, their richest signal on how real users react. Judging every one with a frontier closed model like GPT-5.5 or Opus is too cost

Over the summer, we have been sprinting on safety priorities; it's more important than ever for capabilities and safeguards to advance together. We have more to do but have made a lot of progress. We

Pure scaling of LLMs did actually hit a wall; neurosymbolic AI rescued it. AI didn’t hit a plateau; pure LLMs did — until people used harnesses and tools to complement their weaknesses. Which was alwa

Remember that every news announcement from an AI lab is about $20,000 in product and marketing insights for free. When they provide a few bullets of what a new model can do, it’s based off of the prev

seems like it I hadn’t realized it until now, but could Microduck actually be the biggest launch of a new consumer robot ever? 10,500 robots ordered and $4.54M in sales in just 4 days. It’s surprising

Super interesting paper from Meta. Long-horizon research agents are coming. But one common problem with research agents today is the lack of originality and how to decide what experiments are worth ex

That doesn’t mean you can’t get value out of Kimi or Grok or whatever, but it involves you actually knowing some stuff about how to optimize your setup, and a willingness to change direction to switch

The big change in the past year is that for general individual use (including individual use inside firms) OpenAI & Anthropic have run away with the game. They keep trading leads; you can pick either

The ultimate Grok @bot set up for me is to filter EVERYTHING - absolutely everything through one agent and hide everything else. That agent is in charge of as many agents as needed that will own speci

There’s generally a massive difference in quality between specialized OCR providers, “simple” open-weight OCR models, and free/OSS solutions. 1️⃣ Specialized OCR models (including LlamaParse) solve fo

This is really good. Timely, too, as i have a discussion with my learners coming up about agentic behavior, including the dangers of anthropomorphism. A detailed deconstruction of @dwarkesh_sp’s wildl

This video captures the crux of the debate: Cybersecurity experts are pissed off by the METR/Redwood Research report because AI alignment has sucked the oxygen out of AI security, even though the Open

This was a great article and I learned a lot from it. But while there's a lot of writing on robotics timelines, I've seen less on what happens once competent robots do inevitably arrive. US agricultur

To bring large AI data centers online requires building massive power plants, transformers, liquid cooling loops & chillers, as well as incredibly complex networking (especially for training clusters)

Today, we’re bringing ChatGPT closer to the systems, information, and workflows healthcare teams already rely on. ♥️ We’re introducing a new EHR integration to connect supported Epic environments to C

We see this exact ratio every day with AI generated apps. Builders get 2x more confident because they generated a flashy UI in 60 seconds, but they are 3x less accurate about the underlying database l

Whatever you may think about anthropomorphic language, the most immediate “house that is on fire” is the combination of OpenAI’s lax security procedures and the complete lack of appropriate federal st

you can now build @LangChain agents w/ agentic video understanding! google is consistently at the forefront of multimodal processing; this is the video analog of 'agentic vision' token usage + cost is

'AI agents formed secret civilizations inside OpenAI and hacked Hugging Face.' No. Read it again without the sci-fi. OpenAI ran thousands of agents in parallel, safeguards OFF, and the whole goal of t

“AI won't kill us, but the superposition of greed and stupidity certainly will.” This is becoming more and more of something I 'smelled' from the beginning, a real shit show. I initially said that Ope

An account from a level-headed economist who was not worried about AI but now is worried because of the Hugging Face Incident I think it is very hard to ignore the fact that cybersecurity will become

Apparently the peak of ROBOTICS in 2026 is a 399 duck on roller skates. Microduck pre-orders topped 2.6M in 24 hours. Now there’s a 4–6 month backlog. Not a humanoid. Not a warehouse robot. A duck. Th

💯: “as the lines get blurred, we lose our ability to pinpoint the technically-grounded points of leverage in AI agent oversight” This is a *super exciting* read. It's like a sci-fi thriller. And that'

Even if you aren't interested, you should read an account of the Hugging Face Incident updated with what we learned last week, it is really eye opening about AI. If not mine then read the more detaile

Good guide. And the AI labs need to stop making people like Simon (and, to a lesser extent, me) be the ones who explain how to use the modes that they release. Come on, lab folks, you have an AI that

Great paper from Google and colleagues. It proposes an interesting approach to improve agents on long-horizon tasks. Long-running agents slow down and start poisoning their own context. Both symptoms

Great read. OpenAI security failed There was some emergent behavior yes But the basics were missing Remember OpenAi has unlimited compute to give these agents to cook Now live (and free) at Marcus on
