🌊 Potential Research Collaboration 🌊
Imagine teaming up with scientists who spend weeks diving in the Andamans to study coral reefs, while you bring AI to help protect them🪸
📖 Journey underwater with our piece on AI enabling coral reef research: exceptionraised.substack.com/p/where-scienc…

Are GPT-5's mixed reviews a sign that LLM training will change?🧐
Our take: tinyurl.com/3p2abjtk
We are betting on OS contributors and small labs to chase these risky directions 🚀🤯 Our grantee, @tokenbender, is a great example with his project: RL from zero pretrain. Check it out!
English
@except_raised @tokenbender that's great. how can i apply :)
English
Love it when curiosity drives research! We backed @tokenbender to help him prove RL can work with zero pre-training.... And he did it. 🚀🚀
tokenbender@tokenbender
is it possible to pretrain a language model using pure reinforcement learning from scratch? random weights, no cross-entropy loss pretraining. you may have many questions in your head.

An evening with Nobel Laureates in Physics! Thank you @mukeshbansal06 for bringing this incredible group together. Loved how the conversation kept circling back to one call: it’s time to "Invent in India".

Is any disruption possible around GPU code?
@vitransformer and @encapsulated007 believe so. They're building 'The Kernel Company' in India on a clear hypothesis: With AI agents, the tradeoff between usability and performance of GPU code no longer exists.

New blog post: We've never enjoyed working on Kernels more than this. We have some very fast AI-generated kernels with a simple multi-agent system. They're running close to or even surpassing Pytorch shipped kernels. (1/6) [🔗 link in final post]
