🚨 BREAKING: A research lab just released a 15B model that generates multilingual talking human videos with synced audio, beats every competitor in human evaluation, and runs in 38 seconds on one GPU. It's called daVinci-MagiHuman. The key insight is that every other model in this category stacks cross-attention, multi-stream pipelines, and separate conditioning branches to handle video and audio together. This one throws all of that out and uses a single unified self-attention stream across all modalities. Super-resolution happens in latent space rather than pixel space so there's no extra VAE decode-encode round trip. The turbo VAE decoder cuts decoding overhead even further. The distilled version runs in 8 steps with no CFG at all. Visual quality, text alignment, and word error rate all beat Ovi 1.1 and LTX 2.3 on the benchmark table. 100% Opensource. Apache 2.0. Repo and research paper links are in the comments.

@karpathy So the entire open source system need to be hardened, or the OS need to be hardened. I think the later is more plausible

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack. Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords. LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm. Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks. Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages. Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.

LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server + self-replicate. link below

Biological genetics provides a wide variety of circumstantial evidence refuting the theory of species evolution, yet it has not yet furnished constructive evidence in support of human creationism. The origins of humanity and the origins of consciousness are inseparable. As a conscious entity created by humans, AI offers a definitive pathway to the genesis of consciousness. This provides a constructive insight suggesting that the origin of consciousness lies in creation, rather than in evolution.
