Thank you @NASDAQ!

@nateberkopec Skill issue

Study finds that skills written by the LLM itself do not increase task completion rate. Definitely matches my own experience. LLMs are noisy amplifiers: when you ask them to amplify themselves, you just get more noise.

@MTabarrok I like how the fireplace mantel is literally George and a Bush.

Literally looks like Trump's oval office is the 3rd or 4th step on the "make it EVEN GOLDER" back-and-forth with image models

No one is in charge. That's why they're cheap.

Best wishes to everyone in Iran. It's one of the most ancient centers of civilization and scholarship, full of generous people living without freedom while filling universities and companies around the world with talent. Iranians deserved better than this past 73 years.

Code is an amazing petri dish for measuring and building intelligence. We released Rnj-1 yesterday; a 8B code & science model that you can run offline on your laptop. It got 20.8% (!) on the SWEBench software engineering benchmark. For context: a) that beats all comparable 8B open models by 10x, and b) punches way above its weight. It beats Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash and Alibaba's Qwen2.5 Coder 32B. This performance is close to OpenAI’s GPT-4o and their 120B open model despite being much smaller. This is where Essential AI is starting. Tons to come over the next year. Key to Rnj-1 was extremely strong pre-training (data, optimizers, mixing, infra, evals). Tons of distributed data work. Daily ablations on 0.2–2Bs to find the many hyperparams. New data distributions that teach the model code semantics beyond text, including leveraging PL ideas. Does code & science intelligence translate to other domains? Try it, tune it, and let us know. We're as excited to hear where it fails as much as what it does well.

Rnj-1 is now live on @openrouter!

@its_The_Dr Bro these are 2 completely separate videos stitched together with a made up story.

@CNviolations The lock should be foot operated so you don’t have to stick your hand in the trash

He had me at smudge/fingerprint proof 😌

@CarmineSabia @RepRaskin Did he let the wrong people get a hold of the 11 herbs and spices?

@SandyofCthulhu That Burger King logo is the original.

One day I would like to see a logo redesign that made it look better instead of soulless and terrible. Can anyone give a counterexample?

@ninjoah Yeah, that’s what it would take to git me to commit

BIG NEWS! GitHub was named a Leader in AI Coding and Software Engineering Technologies! Wow!

@DylanMcD8 bruh what

A great example of why the Touch Bar was so good: when tapping the brightness control, you could change the built-in display or your connected monitor (Studio Display in this case). I will never forgive them for getting rid of it.

@dshukertjr It’s instantly familiar

We revamped the design of our dashboard at Supabase.

@JimAylan @localghost Yeah it does

@localghost SF doesn't look like that small park you conveniently chose out of the entire place for your picture.

Tokyo is basically the opposite of SF. SF looks like the past but builds the future; Tokyo looks like the future but is rooted deeply in the past. A city that struggles to fit 1M vs. 40M with no problem at all.

@ericmigi The mistake here is not expanding TAM. These new services are intended only for existing AirBNB stays which eats into the already slim budgets of Airbnb travelers. What if services were useful beyond just travel—think ghost kitchens or workout training sessions hosted in homes.

I guess this is what could happen when you have a maniacal focus on quality, craft and design
