'Just use AI' can be useful (I call it The Crowd in my informal framework I gave in my post below), but you also need a Lab where people can go with their ideas and Leadership to make decisions about

Nvidia announced development of a 550 billion parameter language model, positioning itself as a leading open-source AI research organization competing with traditional academic and independent labs. T

Like any AI dev not employed by a closed lab, we share the ambition that at least 10x more should be capable of training frontier models in 2026. And like we all know, some 10x leaps can't survive a c

One of the most important properties of LLMs that we take for granted is that newer, bigger models are just better at everything. The AI Labs are pouring effort into economically valuable fields like

Generally, I would say X is not real life, but I am surprised about how often I get asked by executives about which AI lab is winning or what is up with a particular model in ways that indicate that t
