Fun story from our internal testing on Claude 3 Opus. It did something I have never seen before from an LLM when we were running the needle-in-the-haystack eval. For background, this tests a model’s recall ability by inserting a target sentence (the "needle") into a corpus of

Robert Scoble Siri will do some cool new things in 2024. Then accelerate and become a real force in the AI arena. Apple is uniquely positioned to enable new, useful and unexpected LLM use cases.

When we get to AGI, it will have come slowly, not overnight. A NeurIPS Outstanding Paper award recipient, Are Emergent Abilities of Large Language Models a Mirage? (by Rylan Schaeffer, Brando Miranda, Sanmi Koyejo) studies emergent properties of LLMs, and concludes: "...

Something ironically entertaining about a #NotebookLM-generated podcast discussing AI hype and risk. . .

PARENTS: please check your kid's candy this halloween - i just found a 12-month enterprise salesforce contract for 15 seats with auto-renewal and a $50,000 early breakup fee inside this snickers bar

I've been coding 10x more than a few years ago. It is so much more fun now. The scale of what I can build solo is so much larger than four years ago.

Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics! Announcing the Genesis project — after a 24-month large-scale research collaboration involving over 20 research labs — a generative physics engine able to generate 4D dynamical worlds powered by a physics

Despite all the twitter hype there still hasn't been public proof that the "reasoning" models have any emergence. I.e. is there a class of problems that are solvable with "advanced reasoning" that were not under GPT4o with search under some computational budget?

I believe that if you understood intelligence, you could build it in software form on a $1M budget, including training. It would not need to be trained on the entire Internet, nor on the thought process of thousands of experts.

I’ll tell you and this is one of my favorite topics - it’s not sexy so it’s rarely discussed I wish there were books on this subject Companies have both a direction (vector) and a speed (magnitude). Either can be hand tuned at any moment. Getting the direction right is

Today's "DeepSeek selloff" in the stock market -- attributed to DeepSeek V3/R1 disrupting the tech ecosystem -- is another sign that the application layer is a great place to be. The foundation model layer being hyper-competitive is great for people building applications.

Last Friday, I had one of the most intellectually amazing experiences of my career: I got to do the following Idealcast interview (yes, they're coming back!) of Dr. Carliss Baldwin, the William L. White Professor of Business Administration, Emerita at the Harvard Business

When picking among the 9 AI models that are now available from OpenAI, the rules are easy: 1) The model with the biggest number is mostly not the best 2) Mini means worse, except for the mini that is the second best 3) o1 pro beats o3-mini-high beats o1 beats o3-mini, naturally

TL;DR: We built a transformer-based payments foundation model. It works. For years, Stripe has been using machine learning models trained on discrete features (BIN, zip, payment method, etc.) to improve our products for users. And these feature-by-feature efforts have worked

Gary Marcus Financial Times As a lawyer who uses LLMs every day at work, I feel qualified to respond. First, hallucinations are no longer a problem. Consistent with the prediction you quoted from 2023, GPT-5.x almost never hallucinates. And overall, the percentage of inaccurate responses I get from GPT-5.2

Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American AI to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an AI company in the United States.

Dario Amodei just gave his first interview since the Pentagon blacklisted his company. The toll is visible on his face. He was asked one question. What would you say to the President right now? He didn’t hesitate. Amodei: “We are patriotic Americans. Everything we have done
