I was given early access to Grok 3 earlier today, making me I think one of the first few who could run a quick vibe check. Thinking âś… First, Grok 3 clearly has an around state of the art thinking model ("Think" button) and did great out of the box on my Settler's of Catan

Beautiful figure that encapsulates lab + spacecraft data that suggests that Mars is red due to iron oxides containing water (ferrihydrite) rather than dry iron oxide (hematite). Evidence that Mars rusted in era of liquid water on surface. esa.int/Science_Explor…

RIP NIH—not only did the director of the NIH resign today, but the website nih.gov is down. PubMed, one of the world’s most valuable repositories of medical knowledge, is also down.

Thrilled to be revealing a glimpse into what I've been building with Kelsie over the last year! A key bottleneck on the path to superintelligence is understanding causal relationships. We plan to fix that at Causal Labs, starting with AI physics models to predict and control the

Introducing our first set of Llama 4 models! We’ve been hard at work doing a complete re-design of the Llama series. I’m so excited to share it with the world today and mark another major milestone for the Llama herd as we release the *first* open source models in the Llama 4

Focused ultrasound has been significantly under-explored/under-resourced compared to its potential impact, really excited to follow progress!
