Jordan, 30 ans, n'a jamais travaillé de sa vie.




🚨🇫🇷 Une Tesla stationnée à Paris a été prise pour cible par des manifestants lors du rassemblement du 1er mai. Des dizaines d’autocollants et affiches dénonçant notamment les milliardaires et le capitalisme ont été collés sur le véhicule sous les regards des passants.

Did a very different format with @reinerpope – a blackboard lecture where he walks through how frontier LLMs are trained and served. It's shocking how much you can deduce about what the labs are doing from a handful of equations, public API prices, and some chalk. It’s a bit technical, but I encourage you to hang in there - it’s really worth it. There are less than a handful of people who understand the full stack of AI, from chip design to model architecture, as well as Reiner. It was a real delight to learn from him. Recommend watching this one on YouTube so you can see the chalkboard. 0:00:00 – How batch size affects token cost and speed 0:31:59 – How MoE models are laid out across GPU racks 0:47:02 – How pipeline parallelism spreads model layers across racks 1:03:27 – Why Ilya said, “As we now know, pipelining is not wise.” 1:18:49 – Because of RL, models may be 100x over-trained beyond Chinchilla-optimal 1:32:52 – Deducing long context memory costs from API pricing 2:03:52 – Convergent evolution between neural nets and cryptography

Be Arthur Mensch: > Born in a suburb of Paris > Third-generation computer scientist > Study at École Polytechnique > Goes deep into AI in 2015 > Join Google DeepMind in 2020 > Works on research showing LLMs can be much cheaper to build > Quit DeepMind in 2023 to build @MistralAI > Decide to build in France 🇫🇷, not Silicon Valley > Raise $115M seed (largest in Europe at the time) > Launch fast, efficient open-weight models > Prove you can rival OpenAI at a fraction of the cost > Launch “Le Chat” and hits 1M downloads in 7 weeks > Reality hits as OpenAI + Anthropic raise $200B > Revenue under $50m in 2024 > Fall behind on benchmarks > Ecosystem writes you off > Pivot and adopt Palantir playbook > Send forward-deployed engineers into clients > Embed teams inside HSBC > Automate workflows for 200k employees > Surpass $400m ARR > Potentially partner up with SpaceX? Absolute GOAT. Amazing peice on him and the team written by @_IainMartin of @Forbes which I'll link below

Using your pregnant wife as a human shield is honestly so vile
