Building @gen_intuition: models for envs that require deep spatiotemporal reasoning. I like games, OSS, AI, and once built the world’s largest RuneScape server.

Had a great chat with one of my favorite investors, @generalcatalyst General Intuition x General Catalyst - The Next Phase of Pre-training
General Catalyst@generalcatalyst

“The digital world lacks physical information. The physical world lacks dense digital information. Games perfectly merge these two together, and we believe that’s just the next phase of pretraining.” Every few weeks @gen_intuition ships new emergent capabilities that are orthogonal to anything you see in the LLM world.

@DavidSacks Ironic they did it with IP theft yet we aren’t focused on that part.

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks. Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models. This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.
Arena.ai@arena

Big news: Kimi-K3 by @Kimi_Moonshot is now #1 in the Frontend Code Arena with 1679 pts, surpassing Claude Fable 5. This is a 17-place jump from Kimi-k2.6 (#18 -> #1). In Frontend, Kimi-K3 ranked #1 in 6 of 7 domains: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, Consumer Product, Simulations, and Content Creation Tools, landing #2 only in Gaming behind Fable 5. The full model weights will be released by July 27. Congrats to the @Kimi_Moonshot team on this major milestone!

@PimDeWitte This is clearly falling back to Claude in a third party model agnostic app. The error on top says that the Kimi model was not found, permission denied.

@eliebakouch I regret to inform you that it is, in fact, real and from their own website - you don’t even need to try hard to reproduce it.

@PimDeWitte hi, can you share your setup? what system prompt? the full convo? i tried to replicate (kimi chat, kimi api, open router) it and it never said this 🤔 also this is very common in LLMs, with close model you don't see this often because they are served always with a system prompt

@PimDeWitte That's an interesting error message you tried to cut out of the screenshot. Doesn't look like the tool you're using is actually using Kimi - which is why you received this response. Nice try though...

General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte (@PimDeWitte) says: "Most of AI is just glorified data science." And... "Yann LeCun is underrated." His reasoning? "Good models mostly are downstream from good data & simple things." @gen_intuition is taking a different approach than traditional LLMs: "We train models that can predict lots of different actions, where text is just a subset." When I asked why he thinks Yann LeCun is underrated..

This startup thinks robotics is about to have its ChatGPT moment, where better quality datasets lead to foundation models upon which other physical AI startups can build upon. techcrunch.com/2026/07/08/thi… via @techcrunch

There are no polygons in these clips. There is no code defining the interactions. It is AI trained to run a playable game. This is just getting started. Eventually it will be possible to generate a games like this from a prompt, just like you can generate text or images today.

I have been playing these world models/games since the first diffusion DOOM, and multiplayer at 20 FPS is pretty neat. "A dream of rocket league," indeed.

We're proud to finally share this. Thanks to our partners at Kyutai and Epic for pushing the frontier of the World Models together, and towards open source. It's a new paradigm, we can choose to do things differently. Today marks an important step in that direction.
