    Run the sim many times... faster than it can run on actual humans and compute a probability density for specific events. Better yet use it to dimulate counterfactual phenomena like…

    It would be extremely foolish for an early investor like Alphabet to liquidate SpaceX holdings en masse all at once. Also, for better or worse, SpaceX did increase by about 200B to…

    This is an architectural limitation that may be overcome by how you bake the MoE (mixture-of-experts) onto silicon. If you could manage a per-die expert somehow and keep the expert…

    It depends on how quickly you can bake new architectures. Text diffusion might be a disruptor here, but let me just say the most cutting edhe form of image diffusion (JiT and DiT) …

    Massive economic simulations with thousands if not millions of agents to front run the global economy and stock market. Fully interactive realtime NPCs in videogames at scale. Reco…

    I'm surprised neither OpenAI nor Anthropic made this move first. The Chinese open weight models are pulling ahead and commoditizing their value proposition. Baking models onto sili…

    What do you mean? Google bought SpaceX shares when it was a tiny startup. They are probably more than 100X on their initial investment. Even with a 99% drop in SpaceX stock, Google…

    This is a very rose tinted take. AAA game development was far more brutal in the 90s. Go look up the development of Sonic Xtreme in the 90s. A brutal development process in the 90s…

    This move was purely to pump up SpaceX stock price at its current absurd valuation b/c Google owns something like 6% of SpaceX

    Jony Ive wanted to chop down all the trees at De Anza Community College for something like 11 million dollars for an Apple event. There's a lot of ways he was demanding in the wron…

    I'm almost certain the goal of this startup is to make physical automated research labs guided by RL

    Does this mean we'll finally get a new Sim City?

    I think the nuance that's being missed here is that the profit margin of inference serving when there's perfect competition is close to 0. Zero profit means no recouping investment…

    There may be a market for the super models, but the reality is, the super models and the merely ok models already saturate on lower levels tasks. You don't need Fields math PhDs to…

    Literally everything chatbots don't do along with everything chatbots currently do. They will gradually go from doing your dishes, to contructing an ADU in your backyard by 2040 Sy…

    The hyperscalers already had the compute monopoly. They just spent a bunch of money on even more compute. Compute is OK because it's reasonably general purpose to reallocate for wh…

    All VLM, VLA models. I wonder if these architectures will reach prod before Yann LeCunn's world model JEPA startup even gets off the ground in Europe.

    Certainly there will be demand for Fable7, but that demand is context specific. Frontier labs' profit is dependent on there being sufficient demand for the next layer of capability…

    At 9000 tokens/s you could interleave a lot of requests so long as pre-fill is also fast. It really depends on how much you need to keep sessions open to take advantage of KV cachi…
