Excited to share we’re launching @gen_intuition today, alongside our $133.7M Seed round! We’re a research lab building novel foundation models dedicated to games - and the real world

“The deepest value isn’t physics. It’s human intuition. A physics engine models how a drone moves; it can’t model how a skilled operator reacts when surprised. In surgery, it’s the feel for how the tissue responds to the scalpel. Train on human decision-making and you capture expertise that can’t be described with words, only shown, felt.” KV Partner Nicole Fraenkel on world labs and why we bet on @gen_intuition last year fortune.com/2026/03/06/ai-…

there is a game called "data center" on steam which let's you build and manage your own data center. this is lowkey genius, the best way to educate people on a new trait. hyperscalers should learn a thing or two from "edutainment".

Claude: “I estimate this will take 1-2 weeks to complete” Me:

this post got so many people saying “coding was never the goal” and “software engineering was always about problem solving” it’s true. but totally irrelevant. your mastery over the craft (coding) defined your level of excellence for decades. coding was a critical part of the job. and while software has always been about finding the right problems and the right solutions to them, the practice of “coding” used to be the majority part of the job. and a delicate art-form even. so you cannot strip away 80% of the process and the act surprised when people feel a loss of identity. it’s not a loss because people were wrong about what their job really was. it’s a loss because the means to that end was a passion to so many developers. it’s that simple. a carpenter’s job isn’t to cut wood, it’s to create objects. but in that process he pours his love of the job and his years of mastering the wood into it. and in a future where the carpenter won’t need to saw wood and sand it himself because a robot might do that for him, it’s stupid to tell them “your job was never cutting wood, it was making things with it”.

"Wow, GPT 5.2 Pro seems to be doing much better in this Connect4 game than GPT 5.2 Thinking did, I wonder why?" *checks thought trace* "Oh mother-"

@PRBG_Aesthetics You should publish stats about how many likes each game gets on average !

@erenbali This strip is 9yo fyi x.com/CommitStrip/st…

Yes. Software engineers will all go away. There will be a new profession of people whose only job is to tell the machines what they should do in a manner that’s efficient and precise.

@kimmonismus Is this a model or a service?

I just tested the Hitem3D V2.0 Beta It captures complex details with true print-grade geometry. We’re talking ready for 3D printing, CNC, and even laser cutting straight out of generation. Look at this incredible result down below. On the left side the image, on the right side the 3D Model

Valve in 2004 was on a different timeline.

2026 interview questions: - you are in the middle of a refactor and the model says 8% context left before auto-compaction. what do you do? - how do you decide which tasks to give to claude, codex gpt 5.2 xhigh, and chatgpt pro? - tell me about a time you disagreed with an LLM

Lawsuits about the use of data to train AI models are rampant, but how viable is it to train a model on entirely openly licensed data? We brought together all stats from across the open data world to build a 8 TB corpus of open licensed text and train a 7B model on 2T tokens that's performance matched to similarly trained models on general web crawls!

I think robot pets are going to be a huge market.

Not saying that's what they see, but if you have data and compute, in the long run, from scratch always wins. Here is one striking example from our distillation pape; blue is random init, yellow is init with sota model *on the same target task*. And I've seen more variants of this over the years.

@Aurumek_ @DubberDJ On what hardware?

@DubberDJ Thanks! I always use Procreate, it's the best out there (for me).

Haven't done this in a while - if you see this, ask me anything 🧙🏼‍♂️✨️

@RealAstropulse amazing work, keep going!

Some samples from the different styles!
