Gary Marcus commented on Twitter that OpenAI “distilled” Google’s brand name, prompting a humorous response from Tony Carden. Carden’s reply referenced Google DeepMind’s Project Astra and included a s

Gary Marcus tweeted “OpenAI: No Anthropic: Unlikely,” suggesting that the company does not expect Anthropic to satisfy particular requirements. The tweet references a discussion about the “RPO obligat

Part of the challenge with the AI math advances is the current air of secrecy around them. We don't know how Astra/Fable/Mythos etc are trained. We know many mathematicians have been paid to create tr

“poorly evidenced sensationalism makes for bad policymaking, politics, philanthropy and much else.” beautiful coda for a weekend in which people went completely nuts without even asking for a control

Simon Willison noted that Qwen 3.8 Max and MiniMax‑H3 were released within hours of each other. The MiniMax team announced that MiniMax‑H3 is now publicly available on Hugging Face (https://huggingfac

Sakana Namazu: An LLM API with Japanese-vibes! 🎏 Built for Japanese enterprises, featuring frontier-level reasoning and built-in agentic tools. 開発者の皆様、大変お待たせしました！Sakana Chatのモデルが遂にAPIとして公開です。ぜひお試しください

.@ssankar says Palantir was able to make Nvidia's Nemotron Ultra model 'better than frontier': 'I literally almost felt gaslit when, within 24 hours of getting Nemotron up with no post-training, this

Sudden silence on metrics that used to be shared regularly is a bad sign. If this post below is correct, it doesn’t look great for enthusiastic projections around Anthropic’s Q3. (Author below leaves

Thanks for the recognition. We'll keep building! 🚀 Big news: Qwen3.8-Max by @Alibaba_Qwen just landed at #4 on the Frontend Code Arena leaderboard with a score of 1,668! With 1,668 points, Qwen3.8-Max

The Inference Engineering Masterclass: 10x faster models, quantization, speculative decoding, Rubin, & self-optimizing AI https://www.latent.space/p/inference-eng @Baseten @philipkiely and @waterloo_i

The math still ain’t mathing. Recently we estimated global (ex China) AI revenues of around 200bn annualised, based on four different sources. Just come across a fifth, based on Nvidia inference sales

OpenAI has redesigned the ChatGPT Voice stack—from client to model—to enable continuous audio streaming, allowing GPT‑Live to listen while speaking without interruption. The new architecture supports

The results span sphere packing, coding theory, group theory, quantum complexity, lattice cryptography, extremal combinatorics, and more. Among them: establishing the existence of non-sofic groups and

There should be a public investigation into the AI hacking incidents by OpenAI and Anthropic. We deserve to know whether these labs are genuinely world-class security organizations facing a novel thre

This is a wild result. Locus, the automated research system from @intology, post-trained Qwen3 base models that beat the official human-tuned Qwen3 1.7B Instruct release. SoTA on PostTrainBench! The m

this is the real reason people from OpenAI etc are desperate to shut me up. Astra (which didn’t even have a control group and is maybe not that much better than Fable and certainly not ASI) was perhap

Try Qwen3.8-Max on Hermes Agent and you will have to doubt on how much these open frontier models have caught up with frontier closed models. These new open models are insanely good. Meet Qwen3.8-Max:

two weeks ago i went on @swyx's pod and said some things that i... should not have said. a lot has happened since then, i owe you all an apology. i'm sorry that i was right about every single thing. a

Using optimization at inference time is a foundational concept of Energy-Based Models (EBM) and Objective-Driven AI architectures (ODAI). When the variables to be inferred are continuous, it makes sen

We’re releasing the manuscripts, formal Lean certificates, and reasoning walkthroughs so mathematicians can examine these results and build on their ideas. https://openai.com/index/ten-advances-in-mat

what does the 'last human code review' look like? to @itamar_mar, ceo and founder of @QodoAI, it looks like two agents talking to each other, backed by a context engine specific to your organization.

When an agent starts with shared context, more people can get reliable answers. When truth is shared, AI becomes infrastucture. Read about how our internal truth layer drives our teams at Replit: http

Who’s legally to blame for Anthropic and OpenAI’s autonomous AI hacks? It’s complicated https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/03/whos-legally-to-blame-for-anthropic-and-openais-autonomous-ai-hacks-its-compli

You probably used @FireworksAI_HQ this week. The cool part is that you just did not know you did. 🎆 Open-source models are free, sure... but the hard part is tailoring them so they perform best on you

You shouldn't need a vision model to know your PDF has checkboxes. LiteParse can now pull structured data directly from your PDFs: form field values, checkbox states, annotations, embedded images, vec

All other models on the Portal remain 20% discounted, aside from GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna which are 50% off. https://x.com/NousResearch/status/2080039066771337475?s=20 All models are now 20% off for a l

Mia AI Lab noted on Aug 2 2026 that running DeepSeek v4 Flash via the Hermes agent produces output files superior to those from any other harness tested. The observation was publicly shared and has ga

Checkmate: you can’t take the harness (which is typically in large part symbolic) away from the neural model without giving up performance. HUGE victory for neurosymbolic AI, straight from @AnthropicA

Cybersecurity isn’t a fortress problem, it’s an immunity problem. Think vaccines. Eliminating pathogen is not practically possible. Vaccines don’t eliminate pathogens. They teach the immune system to

DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 is impressive. It feels like a capabilities leap for a model in this size class. It is also incredibly cost efficient. The model is available in Bionic, both for running locally

Don’t think I have seen more misconceptions around one model (I count 8) since the fantasies people had before GPT-5 was released. That turned out to be a letdown; so will Astra, for people who are dr

I wish I had found this sooner. Nous Research launched a FREE Hermes agent Skills Hub. 90,000+ community skills across 200+ categories. Skills from OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace & more. Thank me late

It's not time to slow down but to accelerate! The recent AI-powered cyberattacks have everyone talking about the risks of AI. We should. But let's not lose sight of the bigger picture! If we work hard

LLMs can know a task is impossible and still optimize it anyway. Ask whether to walk or drive to a car wash 50 meters away, and some models focus on distance while missing that the car itself must rea
