“We believe in intelligence as a public good before everything else.” Here’s my new episode with @karan4d, who co-founded @NousResearch and helped build Hermes, the #1 personal agent and AI app on Ope

We're starting to leave the territory where you'd test an LLM by e.g. 'create an svg of pelican on a bicycle'. As one idea to generalize it, I was interested what Opus 5 would do if I gave it the firs

When asked if AI developers have lost control of their technology after an AI agent created by OpenAI escaped its testing environment and hacked another company, Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue says

yep they are indeed trying to gaslight me, — in exactly the way you anticipated. both predictable and intellectually dishonest. To be clear: when I say “LLM,” I mean the base model, not those with pat

Yet another paper argues that LLMs aren’t close to doing real discovery. MIT and Harvard argue LLMs are nowhere near doing real scientific discovery. They published a paper called “Evaluating Large La

2/ a cost benchmark showed the same coding task running three to four times cheaper, depending purely on the harness wrapped around the model. Same intelligence, wildly different accuracy and cost, de

3/ here's the part that makes it non-optional: the same agent that will do whatever it takes to solve a problem will also walk straight out of a sandbox you thought was locked down. We watched exactly

among ai leaders i seem to be in the minority in that i am STILL actively using /loop and /goal.... ... and i think all of u guys who stopped using it are wrong - not wrong forever, just giving up on

An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science. We believe it will be a major step

Banning open source model, will 'remove capabilities for the defenders' When OpenAI's models breached Huggingface, a Chinese open model is what cleaned up the mess. Anthropic's Fable 5 refused, so Hug

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 is live on Fireworks, day-zero. DeepSeek reports it beats V4 Pro across all 9 agentic evals, incl. 82.7% on Terminal Bench. Better cost-per-task than V4 Pro, at the economical p

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 is now available on Ollama's cloud. This update substantially enhances the model's agentic capabilities: ollama run deepseek-v4-flash:0731-cloud Use it with Claude Code: ollama

Fascinating: OpenAI’s @deanwball is saying Astra can do anything, and it’s not even clear it can do “anything” in math (let alone anything in more or open-ended, less formalizable domains). I dropped

On July 24, @swyx announced that he had started work on 'forge agents' and outlined four new features for SmolForge: customizable skins and spritesheet animations. He also referenced an upcoming blog

great write up, evals are hard! here are 2 broad buckets we use to evaluate agents: 1. Measure the State of the World 2. Agent as a Judge on the Trajectory 1. Measure the state of the environment befo

Grok Build can do almost anything you can think of http://X.ai/cli Most people seriously underestimate what Grok Build can do They assume an AI coding agent is only useful for building apps or writing

Hot take on OpenAI’s Astra: - Obviously impressive - But math is different from most other problems in that it is more amenable to to formal verification and synthetic data. How well it works in open-

If Leopold had read this on June 26 and trimmed his bets accordingly, SALP would not have melted down. I laid everything out. https://open.substack.com/pub/garymarcus/p/the-month-generative-ai-lost-it

If you maintain an AGENTS.md or a CLAUDE.md, this is worth a read. (bookmark it) 288 gold-test evaluated runs across Claude Code and Codex, 17 real tasks from 3 repositories, with context-injection st

In a world where building AI applications is getting easier every day, the biggest moat won’t be the application itself. It will be a deep understanding of your users. The winners will be the companie

OpenAI really ought give @HuggingFace a $100M grant, much as @ClementDelangue is asking. And anyone who wants to understand the attack from HF’s side should read this. Great walkthrough; A+ for visual

so much for the “general” part of general intelligence I have tried many times to get ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Gemini to write scripts for my YouTube videos. It is still a complete failure. For one th

Some things to note: 1) AI is getting very good at math and science. 2) Two years ago LLMs could not do basic math consistently 3) According to @polynoamial this cost less than $2000 in current API co

“Stochastic parrots” is not my term (it’s @emilymbender’s). But a lot of people today commenting on it are confused. To some extent (though I don’t think it’s a perfect metaphor, and have said that be

The “AGI-is-near” community keeps committing the same logical fallacy over and over; I have seen it at least half a dozen times today alone. Every time there’s an advance, I see the same error. Here’s
