take your hat off son, it’s the anthem
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
“autodiff, take the wheel”
I love backprop, i appreciate it today more than yesterday
you can't argue with that math
nvidia acquiring reflection makes sense
Nemo is a 550B
Beam is 501B
550B+ 501B = 1T so they’ll have a K 2.6 level model
If they can get thinky on board that adds another ~1.2T (inkling big and small) so the next nemotron could be as many as 2.2T, in striking range of K3
(ty @srush_nlp for teaching me how to do back of the envelope calcs for transformers)

you ever make the baseline too strong?
docs/ is an attention sink but for agents
FLOPs on goal
it really is a special place. hard to find another team in the ai space as hyped as we are.
honey wake up, new hillclimb dropped
update! @0xdoug hit 2^(-34), so we are sadly now 18 minutes behind schedule
kind of crazy that the bitter lesson tells us that to make the model a little bit smarter, you gotta be a little bit dumber.
now model's are solving Math so i don't know what to say about that...
"just have my dot talk to your dot" is something i'm overhearing a lot
I'm not sure if a swarm of my own continuous agents is high value (I can already launch a lot of things and monitor with one), but cutting out the meat-proxy-via-slack for these systems is *very* high value.

gone from cherry to strawberry
SITUATION DETECTED: P-Zero Research finds that AI’s research taste has doubled every 3 months since December 2025, and now exceeds the expert human baseline.
five alarm fire
please keep trying to sell this man computers
Ok I need a break from people selling me computers
Love it.
Folks are dooming about this and that, but AI is going to advance so many good things for humanity.
Botanic-1 is a good example.
Increasing crop yields? Reducing failures? Engineered against pests & disease? Reducing chemical and fertilizer spraying? Good AI.

So happy to highlight one of the many applications of Botanic-1, our latest plant FM, on @googlegemma 's website !
i think it is very important to make the model good
many are undervaluing making the model good
in the end it’s really just all about the flops
something very fundamentally information theoretic about that
My Claude is maxxed.
My ChatGPT Pro 500 is on credits.
I thought I was supposed to be getting intelligence too cheap to meter, but instead we have weekly allotments that disappear in less than a day.
And I'm paying more than I ever have.

arcee slack is a special place
The magic isn’t in being the “first” to an idea but the first to make it “just work.”
That is the bitterest lesson for folks in this field.
