🚨 Sam Altman today at ADIPEC : the Navier-Stokes model is coming > "10,000 agents of the model that is going to be released soon, the next GPT" > ~4 days nonstop, no hierarchy, no bosses > same Internal Model from OpenAI's Sep 8 graph , its lowest compute point already beats Astra's highest we are so back 🤯

🇦🇪 ENERGY LEADERSHIP ISN’T JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU PRODUCE. IT’S ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DELIVER WHEN IT MATTERS MOST. At the opening of ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, @SultanAlJaber delivered a powerful message about what energy security means in an increasingly uncertain world. For years, the energy industry prioritised efficiency, optimisation and just-in-time supply. But in a world of growing disruption, the measure of success is changing. Resilience, preparedness and the ability to keep delivering when the pressure is on. The UAE is a powerful example of what that looks like in practice. Its resilience wasn’t built in the middle of a crisis. It was built over years of strategic investment in people, technology, capabilities and partnerships. As Al Jaber explained: “We did not write our resilience playbook during this disruption. We wrote it years before.” And he captured the defining principle of energy leadership in a single statement: “Energy leadership is not measured by what you produce in good times. It is measured by what you deliver in hard times.” Because resilience isn’t something you improvise when a crisis hits. It’s something you build long before it is put to the test. And Al Jaber closed with a message that brought it all home: “When it counts the most, you can count on the UAE.” Writer: Ian

Like I always say, the UAE is like a child born into a family of criminals. He grows up, breaks away, and builds a decent future for himself. $67 billion in deal value and more than 50,000 business deals during ADIPEC 2026 in Abu Dhabi. What do other countries in the region need to do to become like the UAE? They need to stop attacking their successful brother and genuinely follow in his footsteps. The UAE’s success is the result of its leadership’s genuine ideological convictions, not a superficial transformation driven by economic interests, like what Saudi Arabia has tried to do.

Where does an ad-serving stack break as formats keep multiplying? Uber Ads started with Sponsored Listings, then grew to Sponsored Items, display, banners, and video. Retrieval, scoring, and bidding logic forked per surface, and with a shared codebase, deployments became coupled. A bad change on one surface could force a rollback of an unrelated one. The turning point was to rebuild ads around capabilities rather than per-surface features. A supply layer normalizes each surface's request into an AdSpec, a marketplace layer picks an auction or a preferred-deal strategy, and demand providers bid. Surface-specific context is split into extensions, and only the providers that need them use them. Traffic is then split into environment-based fleets running the same codebase. Deployments and rollbacks are independent, and if a provider fails, the auction completes with the remaining candidates. "Build capabilities, not features" and "push complexity to the edges" carry over to any multi-surface platform. Note: this is a blog post, and it reports no quantitative results.
