The Kavanaugh stops are heading in the expected direction. Nice job, Justice Kavanaugh. Your reasoning will go down is history as a tragic joke. This should not happen in America. “Show me your papers”.

🚀 Phi-4 is here! Today Microsoft launched Phi-4, our latest Small Language Model in the Phi series. It excels on graduate level questions in science, and is great on coding. Congratulations to the Microsoft Research and Azure teams for the launch!

Microsoft Research is live in Japan! I'm excited that our new MSR Asia Tokyo lab is official, under the strong leadership of @yasumat. Tokyo joins our recent new sites in Nairobi and Vancouver, with more to come as MSR expands around the globe. news.microsoft.com/ja-jp/202…

The Rust verification tool Verus aims to make formal verification more widely available to developers, helping them create software that behaves as intended. Learn about the work, an award winner at SOSP ’24, w/ Chris Hawblitzel & Jay Lorch on “Abstracts”: msft.it/6017WXtX1

As someone who has been a journalist for almost 40 year, working as a senior writer at the New York Times, Newsweek, etc, the decision by @WilliamLewis, a Murdoch alum, to cripple the @washingtonpost by abandoning endorsements, is one of the most craven actions I've ever seen../1

This is disingenuous and silly - aggression disguised as commentary. People are angry because it’s a telling sign that the owner of the paper doesn’t want to cross Trump and is afraid of repercussions of doing so. People who value civic democracy understand this.
I've just proudly cast my vote for Kamala Harris. I hope that all of you do too, as early as you can. This is the most inportant election in at least half a century.

According to lohud.com/obituaries/pnys080… Robert Dennard has passed away.
This man's work on DRAM and technology scaling has an inestimable impact on every computer on the planet for the past 50 years.
Thank you, Bob Dennard.
Thanks to Bob Dennard for DRAM (and for The End of Dennard Scaling :-) ) and to Bob Proebsting for RAS/CAS addr muxing!

Microsoft💜Open Source + SLMs!!!!!
We're so excited to announce our new *phi-2* model that was just revealed at #MSIgnite by @satyanadella!
At 2.7B size, phi-2 is much more robust than phi-1.5 and reasoning capabilities are greatly improved too. Perfect model to be fine-tuned!

You can add GPT assistants in #AutoGen multi-agent workflows now! Looking forward to see what the community will build with it💠
We just released a new version of #AutoGen and added compatibility with #OpenAI Assistants!
This means you can now make multiple GPTs collaborate to solve complex tasks 🤖🤖🤖
Checkout our new blog post for details: microsoft.github.io/autogen/…
The new MX data formats will drive massive improvements in AI efficiency, power savings, performance improvements, and cost savings for large-scale AI. This was a long journey from its start in Microsoft Research in 2016, and culminating in this week's announcement.
AMD, Arm, Intel, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm Standardize Next-Generation Narrow Precision Data Formats for AI!
The MX Alliance has released the Microscaling Formats (MX) Specification v1.0 in an open, license-free format.

#AutoGen gives an early view of the exciting AI-powered future that is starting to emerge. Congratulations to the #Autogen team and @MSFTResearch for the rapid adoption!
In two weeks, #AutoGen grew from 390 stars to 10K stars on #GitHub and attracted 5K+ members on #Discord. The speed of @pyautogen adoption is amazing: the first product built with it is launched today.

To achieve the world’s climate goals, we need all the tools in the tool kit. Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one of those critical tools, making today’s DOE announcement a major milestone. This piece by @AndreasenJack from @Breakthrough is a great explainer on DAC and why we’ll need it alongside the clean energy transition. b-gat.es/4403fLS

Absolutely incredible authors' note:
ALT Screenshot that reads: "AUTHORS’ NOTE The authors wish it to be known that, in their opinion, the first three authors should be regarded as joint first authors. The order of co-first authors provided here was decided through a mushroom picking competition around the Sognsvann lake, Oslo, Norway.

The idea for Pence to recuse and allow Grassley take over on January 6th came from Ken Chesebro.
He proposed it in an email to Rudy Giuliani on Dec 13, which he also sent to John Eastman on Jan 2nd, and again on Jan 4th.
One of Eastman’s Chapman emails:

this is the kind of mesh that Microsoft built with FPGAs in its Project Catapult/Brainwave system in Azure: now algorithms are settling down enough to make GPUs an efficient way to do this

Grassley deserves far more scrutiny; goal on 1/6 was to replace Pence (who was being "too honest") and replace him with Grassley (like the prior Trump plan for DOJ Attorney General).
