we are seeing the loop of intelligence expansion and cost compression playing out for the last few years. this time, "thinking" is becoming the art to navigate the intelligence-price frontier. smart move is to stay on the edge of the curve, whether human or machine.

Grok 3 mini sounds cute, but it's the best reasoning model on the planet. It crushes flagship models on benchmarks, while being 5x cheaper. This thing sets a new gold standard for all LLMs, and our team won't stop pushing the boundaries here. LFGroook 🚀

MARS CITY "TERMINUS": ELON'S PERFECT SCI-FI TRIBUTE Elon's suggestion to name Mars' first city "Terminus" gives total sci-fi goosebumps! This isn't just a random name—it's a heartfelt nod to Asimov's Foundation series, where Terminus stood as humanity's last hope at the edge of the galaxy. There's something deeply poetic about Mars being our own real-life Terminus—the edge of our current reach and the beginning of something incredible. The literary connection feels like a beautiful bridge between the dreams we've had for generations and the future we're actually building. Elon's democratic sentiment—"it will be up to the people of Mars to decide"—shows he gets that true space colonization means letting Martians (yes, actual future Martians) create their own identity rather than having Earth dictate everything. This isn't about symbolic flags but creating a thriving second branch of humanity that could persist independently. Self-determination means self-sufficiency, with Terminus generating its own resources and eventually its own distinct culture to truly make humanity a multiplanetary species capable of surviving even if Earth faced catastrophe.

Cruising to Mendocino is solved. For years this has been our SF weekend escape route and I’ve driven it on every version of AP and FSD, watching it gradually do more and more of the drive. But now it’s done. It’s basically perfect. https://t.co/RUfh10gC35
