Damn. All those data science tutorials are screwed.
No off on the genius switch

My culture is not your costume:
I’m glad @strawgate's standards for coffee are lower than his standards for code review because many coffees were brewed by yours truly in the creation of this video. I was thrilled to sit down with Bill, who is the head of product at @pydantic, to hear about how he and the team use @Macroscope. It’s an absolute joy to work with Pydantic and to have a small part in supporting their work.

jev may have unseated @cohere as the best reranker across speed, cost, and performance
We’re starting a new series called Feature of the Week 🎉
This week’s feature by @Yah01_: Index prewarm now reads in parallel bytes windows. Loading a billion-vector index into memory used to take 95 minutes, now it takes 3.

A lot of people are excited about jev the model. Some people are excited about the launch video.
But watching Diogo handle the reactions is arguably the most impressive thing about the last two days. No bad vibes, no defensiveness, just sticking to the facts.

Got married in the park (in a bicycle parade) last weekend and @peterhartlaub put together such a lovely article about it!
in 2016, Kanye West predicted misaligned AI on his album “The Life of Pablo”. He would go on to join an elite rank of superforecasters
So the weekend i got access to Jev, this was how i used it:
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

I made a DuckDB extension where you can use @typesafeai 's Jev to do quick classification of rows in any csv/parquet file or duckdb table
about 10sec for 1k rows ~ better than using an LLM, way more ergonomic than a classifier
game-changing for data analysis!

Changing my Linkedin bio to “will not hesitate to assert the natural world’s primacy over the artificial constructs of human civilization”
The most beautiful thing from a model I ever read. An astra model family model self generated this prompt injection in a compaction summary
Apropos of nothing, here's the talk @CompleteSkeptic gave in my speaker track this year at @AICouncilConf
a great post by @Theoryvc! They’ve spent a year building an mcp-powered company brain and share what it takes to make it dependable enough for daily work.
plenty of useful detail on where agents get stuck and how better tool design helps, including a look at fastmcp's background tasks for long-running work.

BREAKING: @jordihays names Theory Ventures Partner @SpencerFarrar Best Surfer in Tech!
Really stoked about Backops' progress here, and frankly, excited to get my shipments more on time in general.
Moving a shipment takes more than a truck.
Pickups need confirming, documents need checking, and changes need coordinating.
We sat down with @Backopsai CEO @seanmcccarthy to talk about why logistics is still so manual and what his team is doing to change that.

When science is turned into an exploitative spectacle: some thoughts on the Navier-Stokes controversy.
They should be over the same person’s desk and they should be in the opposite order
A founder of a startup I funded had these brass plaques made to put up over his and his cofounder's desks. (He's Build Stuff, she's Talk to Users.)
Did somebody say coffee tasting?
do you like coffee and music?
on sept 26th, @koahlabs is hosting a coffee tasting + breakfast with a live dj for consumer founders in SF
there will be
- specialty pour over coffee, brewed by me
- breakfast spread
- other cracked consumer founders
- live dj spinning vinyl
dm me if you want an invite

Here’s the thing about building internal AI tooling: you have to actually try.
Out of the box first party saas mcp can really only deliver about 20% of the potential value.
For the other 80%?
Here’s @panth_bhavsar explaining how to close the gap:

@trq212 Very timely!
