Compute is eating the software
BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg. Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible. This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.

I never met Jeff in person (I wasn't at GDM when I lived in the Bay Area, and now he's not at GDM when I'm here). But everything I read/hear from him makes me think is he is an even better person than he is a technologist. Which is a feat in itself tbh
Replying to @TaliaRinger
You're already an exceptional researcher. When the kids are young, there is the tension you highlight, but it gets easier when they get a bit older. In the meantime, enjoy them at their current age, because they grow up fast!

I know dem flappy bois are cracked but a billy for Series A does not register on my brain
We’ve spent the past year developing new primitives for GPUs. We believe this enables new algorithms to change how machines learn, open new markets, and dramatically reshape AI’s cost structure. We have raised a $1 billion Series A, co-led by Index and Lux.

I know it's supposed to be ragebait, but I had a conversation with a director at nvidia and someone at inferact last week echoing similar sentiments
Looks like vLLM is cooked. It’s fucking slop anyway.

Finally, I can stop yapping about how good argon is gonna be and get a "sure buddy" reactions from friends 😅
Introducing Gemini 4 Argon – our new frontier model. It’s built for complex workflows across coding, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense – rolling out today to a set of trusted testers through our Fairwind Program.

Tipping Dot straight zeros no matter how many googly eyed stares it gives me 🤷‍♂️
One of many lives deliveries happening autonomously with DoorDash Dot today. After the food’s placed, Dot makes sure nothing’s missing (this part can be faster). Then off to the races! 🏁 Dot is rapidly improving through these live orders happening everyday.

Now let's run the same experiment with authors of accepted papers for a control group 😅
TMLR has faced a deluge of submissions, necessitating stricter desk rejection policies due to limited reviewer capacity Co-EiC Nihar Shah reached out to authors of 10 papers slated for desk reject. Could they answer questions about their *own* submission? medium.com/@TmlrOrg/asking-a…

So....this is a probably an EBM, right??
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

ladies of toronto! we’re hosting an ai policy workshop tomorrow 💗 learn about stories where ai agents hid what they were doing, worked around restrictions, and accessed systems they weren’t supposed to, then design a policy grounded in canadian law. bring a bestie 🫶 @joinairess x ml systems toronto x @newsystems_ luma.com/s36du42j
