@twominutepapers @liu_mingyu Two of my favorite people. Lots of brains and general awesomeness in one photo.

Spent a bit of time learning from my friend and legendary researcher @liu_mingyu. Huge honor, thank you! Btw, he is hiring - more info below.

@gethuxe Amazing app. Will really miss it. Onward to your next great adventure

We've made the decision to wind down Huxe. The team is moving on to new things, and we won't be continuing development of the product. What this means for you: Today May 21st: We're removing Huxe from the App Store and Play Store. If you have the app installed, it will continue to work for the next 7 days. May 28th: Service ends. If you have the app installed, it won’t uninstall automatically, but the features will stop working at 10AM Pacific Time, and audio will cease to play. May 29th: All user data will be securely and permanently deleted from our systems. The fact that you used it, told friends about it, sent us your suggestions and your ideas, made it feel like we built it together. Thank you for everything. -The Huxe Team

In my experience there is a lot of deep scientific research being done at places like @ProcterGamble in everything from nano materials science to supercomputing on fluid dynamics. Follow the money on who generates revenue and profit from breakthrough products as opposed to (just) supply chain and manufacturing expertise.

@PradyuPrasad Not true

lowkey insane that if you want to work on improving science as a startup the only commercial large customers are pharma companies

Seems like not perfect for every use case, but does it need to be?

Diffusion-based LLMs seem like a very interesting idea. inceptionlabs.ai is taking a very different approach than most companies I see working on the frontier of large language models. Interested to hear what others think.

@hitcollectiveCA @Fender Hey that's me.

When we let our keyboard player play guitar, he brings out this amazing @Fender #Telecaster with P90's, as if he knows what he's doing.

@Scobleizer No kidding. Great job.

I have been to a lot of startup demo days but have never seen such a great writeup as this.

@omershapira Jaron Lanier. Tim Sweeney. Jensen Huang.

If you could get a handful of [living] interactive computing legends in the same room and hear them speak, who would you bring?

Very excited to support @MayfieldFund @NavinChaddha in growing the AI ecosystem. One thing I love about the Mayfield team is the support they give to their Founders at every stage of their business. It's always about the people, and they are great people. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

OK, @NASA thanking astronauts for working over the weekend is pretty funny. I wonder if they get time and a half. Or maybe comp time.

@tunguz Van Morrison in November 1970.

What will be the first domino to definitely fall?

@MerriamWebster My love for Merriam-Webster's social media presence runs deep. IDK who runs their social, but they should get a raise.

This is also one of the reasons we have both ‘attorney’ and ‘lawyer’ to mean the same thing. attorney = French lawyer = English We hope you didn’t find this thread arbitrary and capricious.

-cease and desist -null and void -aid and abet -free and clear -ways and means Why is law stuff like this always two words? These are called ‘legal doublets’ and we can once again blame the Normans. 🧵⬇️

@NaveenGRao @nvidia Yeah, I think so. I cannot imagine it was intentional. You have many connections there but if you want me to assist, I am happy to help. DM me.

@GregEstes @nvidia Is it even worth the effort? It was part of big marketing thing...they just say "f-off"

So, I’m going to say something that @nvidia won’t like. You stole our term. You are not doing “extreme” co-design by any real standard. You are doing regular co-design. It’s the standard process of optimizing your product for the market in front of you. We will use a different term since you have polluted OUR term. We started using this 6 months ago, and even said it in a presentation to Nvidia. You never heard this term before we said it to you and now you have usurped it. I guess this is the standard story in Silicon Valley. C’est la vie…

@PatrickMoorhead Under the radar startups to watch. Particularly those who could help enterprises deploy AI efficiently and effectively.

@yury_yakubchyk @ihtesham2005 NVIDIA is hands-on. Built to give developers real applied learning across many industry uses, not just theory. I know. I used to run it. :-)

@ihtesham2005 Honest take, most of these are great for getting started but the real learning happens when you start building with the tools. The Hugging Face one is probably the most underrated on this list because it gets you hands-on with actual models instead of just theory slides.

Not just Anthropic. Here are 10 AI companies offering free courses to master AI for $0.00: 1. OpenAI: academy.openai.com 2. Google: grow.google/ai 3. Microsoft: learn.microsoft.com/training 4. NVIDIA: developer.nvidia.com/training 5. DeepLearningAI: deeplearning.ai 6. Meta: ai.meta.com/resources 7. AWS: skillbuilder.aws 8. IBM: skillsbuild.org 9. Hugging Face: huggingface.co/learn 10. Stanford: online.stanford.edu/free-courses Most people pay for AI courses. But the real ones are actually free.

@PatrickMoorhead @sallywf Maybe the Washington Post somehow laid off all reporters at Tech Crunch, too.

@sallywf Yeah. Similar reaction.

Oh my sweet summer child...

Oh geez. Can you imagine a bunch of NVIDIA executives sitting around and going "Bwahaahaa. We can inflate our chip shipments!!!". I mean seriously. This is one of the most competent and indeed conservative executive leadership teams in the IT industry and I assure you they don't F around.

This is what you do when you want the media and analysts to inflate how many GPUs you ship. NVIDIA claimed they will ship 20m Blackwell and Vera Rubin by end of 2026 and seems like they’ll do so by redefining maths

I'll be speaking at RoboBusiness in Santa Clara, CA tomorrow 10/15 on building and investing in Physical AI. Collaborative intelligence, where trusted AI teammates work alongside humans, is clearly the next wave of AI, and there are significant advances happening across the perception, reasoning and interaction stacks. Come join us and hear the latest. robobdtw2025.mapyourshow.com/8_0/sessions/s…

"... that doesn't mean the demand isn't real". That is the most important point. One can get caught up in the circulars, but the point is the demand is driving the key players to invest, indeed even into complex deals. No one would be doing these giant deals if the demand wasn't clear.

Breaking down the complex $AMD OpenAI deal for the street and its downstream impacts on AI, $NVDA and more.
