agreed that AI is becoming more pervasive in primary care (saw this with my PCP the other day), but reliability is still work in progress. models hallucinate (especially on edge cases), so better clinical data and evals are key. if you're building in clinical AI / a med professional, DM me or sign up here: signalmed.org

most doctor visits are almost completely useless endeavors now cuz they’re also just googling shit. chatgpt & claude are 1000x better in every dimension if you are even remotely able to problem solve in any meaningful way. before someone comes after me, i am only talking about front line doctors. e.g. your primary care physician should be an ai for the majority of individuals, there is not even a question about this anymore. the only real thing keeping these guys in business is pure regulatory.

enjoyed this read and chart from @anirudhsanga + the @BuildwithHyde team. instead of relying on general-purpose models + more scaffolding, Hyde is building specialist enterprise models that learn from proprietary data and improve in prod. long-running agents need a robust orchestration layer that coordinates state, workflows, and end systems -- especially as they start become trusted more with sensitive actions (e.g., trigger payments, issue refunds, modify sensitive docs) hyde.ai/blog/the-great…

how me and bro think we look when discussing AI and global markets at the function (we have a cumulative net worth of $3500 and 16 unpaid venmo requests)

there are certain costs people have stopped questioning so when one of them drops 80%, the first reaction is disbelief open-weight models will give everyone that reaction at scale this year excited to be partnering with @FireworksAI_HQ on this

The older I get, the more I realize how much of your life is shaped by the stories you tell yourself. I’m not ready. I’m too late. I’m bad at this. I never follow through. Be careful. You believe what you repeatedly rehearse. Tell better stories. Then prove them through action.

love a good 2x2 -- expect we'll see variants of this framework popping up over the next few months when we talk about apps. Harvey --> hiring researchers for post-training OAI --> hiring investment bankers race is shifting to own the environment that generate domain-specific data + feedback loops.
Gabe Pereyra@gabepereyra

We are hiring for @Harvey’s model training team. This team will help Harvey expand from the application layer into the model layer and from legal into high end knowledge work more broadly. We are hiring AI researchers of all seniority, particularly those with experience post-training frontier or open source models. Our program is centered around large-scale model training, synthetic data generation, long horizon reinforcement learning, and rigorous evaluation in real world deployments. We are scaling-pilled and believe that nothing beats the combination of larger models and better training data. We’ve been able to generate incredibly realistic legal environments and validated that this allows us to post-train open source models to achieve frontier performance with agents. We plan to scale up these data generation and training efforts significantly across legal to start, and eventually other verticals. As a researcher, you will have access to thousands of GPUs and unique training data from our product and customer relationships. Your research will inform Harvey’s product strategy and power AI used for some of the most economically and societally impactful work in the world.

DreamX-World is now live on Reactor. Controllable, coherent, and beautiful, DreamX-World was trained with one other killer feature in mind: powerful realtime events. Built by AMAP at @AlibabaGroup, served in realtime by Reactor. Try the demo here: reactor.inc/dreamx

working with a few med friends across Stanford, Harvard, Hopkins, etc. on an initiative at the intersection of healthcare and AI. we're looking to connect with clinicians who are excited about helping shape the future of medicine. please DM if you are / know a resident or attending who might be interested in learning more!
