So if we don't invest our entire portfolio into anthropic, their doomsday super intelligence will seek us out and invoke vengeance on us. Is that the correct read from the S1 of Roko's Basilik? No wonder crypto is dumping to zero.

Grok 4.8 Beta release is near. It will be the first 2.5T model, the first model trained with C++ software, and the first Grok model under SpaceXSI.
🤖 Made with AI
We have dumped JAX/SGLang and rewritten the entire RL and inference stack from scratch in C/C++, which took some extra time.
Training (aka pre-training) is done. Lot of cleanup was needed on the SFT data to get that mostly right. Now, 4.8 is in RL and the evals are starting to climb. We will do a soft rollout to Bot users later this week and see how it goes.
Grok 4.8 will bear no resemblance to 4.7 (thankfully). It is not yet incredible, but, this time, the foundations are built right, so I expect it to evolve to be something special.

100% 1:1 backing. Funds are SAFU!
Binance has completed coverage of assets impacted in the security incident and we have published a new Proof of Reserves snapshot. Once the zero-knowledge proof is generated, users can independently verify that their assets are backed at a minimum of 1:1 - binance.com/en/proof-of-rese….
To our users and community: thank you for your patience and understanding.

Jensen it’s great to see you here.
This man prioritizes sleep, eats nutritiously, is kind and measured, and has a wonderful relationship with his partner of 41 years.
Also, he runs in founder mode a one of the all-time most successful companies.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

More than a year ago, Elon sent a warning to Jensen.
And in his own being on the spectrum style, he repeated the warning ⛔️ , ensuring there were no doubts left.
Legend.

Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values.
Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line.
After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs.
The values in an open model are one fine-tune away.
Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete

SpaceX is calling on the FCC to END billions of dollars in outdated broadband subsidies
In a new regulatory filing, SpaceX is challenging legacy High-Cost programs that continue sending more than $3 BILLION annually to incumbent providers
And SpaceX made it very clear what these programs really are:
“These mechanisms are corporate welfare programs, not broadband programs”
Here's what SpaceX put on the record:
• More than $3 BILLION annually continues flowing through legacy High-Cost subsidies and Enhanced A-CAM
• Subsidized service areas cover just 5% of U.S. broadband-serviceable locations, based on boundaries dating back to 1984
• No measurable difference in broadband subscription rates between subsidized areas and comparable high-cost areas outside them
• Competitive fixed wireless, cable and next-generation satellite broadband are increasingly serving these communities without the same legacy subsidies
• Millions of Americans still struggle with broadband affordability, while existing Lifeline assistance remains underfunded
And this is where Starlink changes the equation
High-speed, low-latency satellite internet is reaching remote communities without requiring traditional broadband infrastructure to be built to every home
SpaceX is challenging the idea that taxpayers should continue funding legacy programs indefinitely when newer technologies and competition are changing how rural America gets connected
The message to the FCC is simple:
Stop protecting outdated subsidy structures and redirect those billions toward programs that actually benefit consumers

Republicans vote the pro-liberty way ~69% of the time.
Democrats vote the pro-liberty way about 9% of the time.
Every single Republican (except one) votes better than every single Democrat.
You have to be either stupid or ignorant to not see a difference here.

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.
We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵
Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math.
