At a small business, the person closest to a problem is often the one who has to solve it—even when it falls outside their job description. We studied how AI is becoming powerful generalist tool for small teams, helping them work across functions. https://t.co/oE8HcC3aGf 🔗 View on X |

To address the limits of deep learning and avoid stalling, the field of AI started by applying patch (1), which started being demoed 9 months later in December 2024 and has now become completely ubiquitous. However, long term, it is simply inevitable that AI will move to patch https://t.co/l7dapTTI8K 🔗 View on X |

Deepseek Flash - Day 2 Vibes - very good small model - but it’s benchmark maxxed - it’s competes with gpt-luna Hopeful that v4 will be more like K3 🔗 View on X |

one of my curses as organizer is i rarely get to attend the conference i run. so i basically 24/7 watch back talks with everyone else after the show this one was VERY well paced and argued: fighting slop with slop — @vaibcode, Boundary https://t.co/eWDDyGkjws @btaylor asked 📄 fighting slop with slop — Vaibhav Gupta, Boundary 🔗 View on X |

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 first paragraph of the Lord of the Rings, a 1M token budget (~$10) and asked for https://t.co/ybIpXhYSsj 🔗 View on X |

I keep finding new features of the ChatGPT Work (the feature in the mobile and web app, not the confusing same-name-but-different mode in the desktop app) - it has a browser and can take screenshots with it, AND it can deploy web apps to Cloudflare workers ("ChatGPT Sites") 🔗 View on X |

I continue to think that a lack of verifiable answers in many fields is a real issue for LLMs but not as big a problem as it sometimes is made out to be. As models are getting better at formal domains, they also are getting better at lots of other less-verifiable domains as well https://t.co/rTXKjwiEga 🔗 View on X |

OpenAI better drop Astra, their Fable class model quickly.... Fable adoption is growing rapidly, and it will be hard for users to cut over or change if they wait forever A self-improving agent on Fable 5 can literally solve any problem already 🔗 View on X |

One other observation: for almost every human on the planet, this is not just beyond our abilities but beyond our ken. We can only trust expert mathematicians to tell us if this is impressive, This is starting to happen across many fields making capability gains harder to “feel.” https://t.co/Zw6RHRXJAh 🔗 View on X |

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 coats 4) OpenAI is focusing on announcing benefits, not just risks, of new models https://t.co/q2VdWXA5zx https://t.co/Zw6RHRXJAh 🔗 View on X |

I had Fable build a working Rothko-inspired city builder based on the fake AI video I created a year ago. This time, the unique mechanic the AI developed is that you play with the margins between colors & forms to grow your city Neat! Its pretty relaxing: https://t.co/zk5CWqyC2A https://t.co/O7YWSUrXZO https://t.co/zaQQsHFhVS 📄 THRESHOLD — a city of color fields 🔗 View on X |
