In Kyiv, the search-and-rescue operation at the site of the Russian strike on a residential building has been completed. The attack killed 24 people, including 3 children‼️ 24! Bastards. Bloody terrorists.

Introducing Renderers RL trainers work in tokens. Environments work in messages. Going back and forth corrupts sampled tokens, wasting compute on every agentic turn. With Renderers, we fix this mismatch. This unlocks >3x throughput on popular open models.




U.S. President Donald Trump has fired all 24 members of the National Science Board, the body that oversees the National Science Foundation. Many science advocates see it as the latest step by his administration to erode—some would say destroy—the independence of the 76-year-old research agency. scim.ag/4eGM0YS





AI and Consciousness. There’s a lot of debate around AI and whether consciousness could emerge from systems like LLMs. It’s a natural question, given how well these models simulate language and reasoning. This Google paper challenges the idea that consciousness could arise from computation alone. The key point is that computation is a description, a map we assign to physical states, not something that exists intrinsically in matter, and a map (no matter how precise) is never the territory in any real sense. So increasing complexity isn’t enough to generate consciousness. We may get more and more convincing simulations, but that doesn’t imply the emergence of actual conscious experience. deepmind.google/research/publi…
