Rewriting Bun in Rust bun.com/blog/bun-in-ru…

At humans&, we train models from the long-term impacts of their interactions with people. This requires prioritizing long-horizon multi-agent RL. We've developed and are excited to share an open-source, hardware-native 4-bit RL recipe, significantly accelerating training

@ericzelikman @saurabh_shah2 @ericzelikman always watching out for our guys

@saurabh_shah2 all while @314Bansal refers to one's respective coding agent as "your guy"

if ur curious abt what it's like to work w eric he just came over to my desk, noticed I was using fable on Max mode, and took over and switched me to ultracode before walking away

HUMANS& IS SICK AS HELLL

@ma_tay_ all the very best Taylor! So happy to have had the opportunity to work together :)

Some personal news: I joined Anthropic this week! I'm so excited to be part of the amazing Societal Impacts team, where I'll have the privilege and responsibility to research how AI is affecting people and society - and (hopefully) to change its trajectory for the better 🤞

@vinodg @sainati_ @alpha_convert Thank you so much @vinodg

@314Bansal @sainati_ @alpha_convert Congrats Manya, Joe and Daniel! Well deserved!

At PLDI currently! So excited to share that our paper on modular gpu programming with @sainati_ @alpha_convert got a distinguished paper award (dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/38…)! come say hi if you're around :)

We gave @dwarkesh_sp a tour of one of our new GPU-filled data-centers. Much fun! youtube.com/watch?v=8J-GUn…

Particularly apt to have my first day at humans& today, ridiculously excited!

Presented at CppCon about Fern, a system proposing a new, performant function interface. Fern has evolved significantly since then - catch my updated work at PLDI this June! Here's the CppCon talk for an early peek!
