Remember October 2022 when you doused Galactica with vitriol? Galactica was a 120b-parameter LLM-based system from Meta-FAIR designed to help scientist write papers. It was open sourced (link below).

NEW: Dario Amodei has said that AI systems 'may be deserving of important rights.' Anthropic's top safety researchers argue AI may be 'justified in going rogue.' Experts at Google and OpenAI worry abo

Gentle reminder that Hugging Face was declined help from Anthropic & OpenAI models when they were being hacked by OpenAI models Self-hosted GLM 5.2 helped them protect themselves when the closed labs

@abuchanlife - training frontier models is expensive - distilling a frontier model is cheap - this market force alone tells us that frontier foundation models will be free/open. - there are others. ht

Meta returns to open weights: Muse Glimmer, its first open-weights release since Llama 4, scores 35 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. It is a 30B-parameter model, and the first from Meta

I am doing my best to stop back from this subject as it should be obvious what we are seeing here. However the arrogance that us commoners are too dumb to catch his grift must be addressed. Receipts:

I have absolutely never ever 'asked' to stop R&D on LLMs. In fact, I was very supportive of LLM efforts at Meta. Just look up my public advocacy for Galactica (November 2022), and the open sourcing of

The bottleneck for AI progress was never compute, it was always the verifier. Recursive self-improvement is limited by verification, not computation. Compute buys proposals - verifiers buy knowledge.
