I'm excited to announce that The White House will be doing a Global Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD) Event and Town Hall tomorrow at 10AM EST. Links to Livestream and Access Streamtext in the comments. Thanks @WhiteHouseOPE46! From blog post to The White House. 🤯

Ever wonder what a nervous system would look like if it self-assembled inside a novel being that hadn't faced a history of selection for its organism-level form and function? Or, perhaps you wondered how #Xenobots would look and act, or what their transcriptome would be like, if they had nervous systems? Well, here's the first step: advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… "Engineered Living Systems With Self-Organizing NeuralNetworks: From Anatomy to Behavior and Gene Expression" Our awesome team: led by @halehf: @LaurieONeill99, @mmsperry, @LPiolopez, @DrPatrickE, and Tiffany Lin. The @TuftsUniversity and @wyssinstitute press releases are here, for summaries: now.tufts.edu/2026/03/16/sci… wyss.harvard.edu/news/toward-au…

I’m excited to share that I will be joining @demishassabis and @GoogleDeepMind as Chief Strategy Officer! I feel a moral obligation to shepherd AGI into the world responsibly, benefiting everyone. I am looking forward to doing this with the team at DeepMind.

The PM playbook was built on an assumption that the technology underneath your product is roughly stable With the current pace of model progress, this is no longer true. Here's how we've evolved the PM role:

We've evaluated a lot of base models on perplexity-based evals and Kimi k2.5 proved to be the strongest! After that, we do continued pre-training and high-compute RL (a 4x scale-up). The combination of the strong base, CPT and RL, and Fireworks' inference and RL samplers make Composer-2 frontier level. It was a miss to not mention the Kimi base in our blog from the start. We'll fix that for the next model.

@GergelyOrosz I'd add that it became an uproar because they got caught. And it wasn't the first time.

In both cases, the only reason any of this is addressed is due to uproar from the community (for Composer 2.0) / customers (for the price hike that is still not shared in public or in a transparent way) Trust is hard to gain, easy to lose and both these decisions do lose trust

Cursor keeps showing poor judgment with comms - behaving not like a $10B+ company, but like an early-stage startup Hikes prices for many enterprise customers without notice, or comms or transparency Big bang Composer 2.0 release w/o sharing that it's based on Kimi 2.5

@vlelyavin @Kimi_Moonshot @cursor_ai yup

@Kimi_Moonshot @cursor_ai this is the most graceful "we caught you and our lawyers talked" statement i've ever read ngl

Congrats to the @cursor_ai team on the launch of Composer 2! We are proud to see Kimi-k2.5 provide the foundation. Seeing our model integrated effectively through Cursor's continued pretraining & high-compute RL training is the open model ecosystem we love to support. Note: Cursor accesses Kimi-k2.5 via @FireworksAI_HQ ' hosted RL and inference platform as part of an authorized commercial partnership.

Since people really want me to say this: "KIMI K2.5" ‼️ Yes, that is the base we started from. And we are following the license through inference partner terms (e.g. Fireworks) I'm thankful for OSS models personally, good for the ecosystem.

@neogoose_btw @Shreyassanthu77 Hmm, maybe we just vpn into Silicon Valley? Will that work?

@Shreyassanthu77 😭

I just want to remind the rest of the world: every single AI company here in Silicon Valley get tokens for absolutely free rn It’s only you paying those 200$ for max plan

I'm so addicted to the new pinokio. I could never use ComfyUi, before, and the more in-depth & complicated workflows you could do in pinokio were a headache for my non-visual brain. Now I just tell Claude Code what I want, and it uses all the pinokio models & apps for me. 🤯

I guess today is "livestream my meetings day" lol. "Structure of a research paper: The abstract is your elevator pitch. The introduction is your lightning talk. The rest of the paper is your deck."

And that was my last board meeting as Chair. A Wonderful 5 years. If I can give anyone thinking of becoming a chair, advice, it is to learn and memorize Robert's Rules of Order. It is unintuitive, formal, and it was created for a reason as much as I hated it. Respect.

Projects are now available in Cowork. Keep your tasks and context in one place, focused on one area of work. Files and instructions stay on your computer. Import existing projects in one click, or start fresh.

It’s lame that the word we chose for an important new form of currency was “tokens,” real failure of imagination.

IYKYK

I feel like Steve Yegge. I just thought I was sending a note in a zoom chat to one person and it was blasted to everyone on the board 🤣

Installed this after my clankers ate up all application memory killing all terminal sessions. H/T @macmost

Pro tip for Macs. Step 1. Put Activity Monitor in your Dock Step 2. Run it Step 3. Menu->View->Dock Icon->Show CPU History Step 4. Your icon updates CPU live and if your clankers eat up ur system, you'll have an early warning.
