@simplifyinAI Makes total sense. Predict direction rather than the next word. Potentially easier to invalidate strategies that turn out to be poor and redirect too before you're too deep in the output.

🚨 BREAKING: Tencent has killed the “next-token” paradigm.
Tencent and Tsinghua has released CALM (Continuous Autoregressive Language Models), and it completely disrupts the next-token paradigm.
LLMs currently waste massive amounts of compute predicting discrete, single tokens through a huge vocabulary softmax layer. It’s slow and scales poorly.
CALM bypasses the vocabulary entirely. It uses a high-fidelity autoencoder to compress chunks of text into a single continuous vector with 99.9% reconstruction accuracy.
The model now predicts the “next vector” in a continuous space.
The numbers are actually insane:
- Each generative step now carries 4× the semantic bandwidth.
- Training compute is reduced by 44%.
- The softmax bottleneck is completely removed.
We’re literally watching language models evolve from typing discrete symbols to streaming continuous thoughts.
This changes the entire trajectory of AI.

@ryolu_ @robinebers Please me you're moving to windowed unlimited usage for ultra. That would get me back from Claude max

sometimes I think about leaving Cursor behind 🫠
it's still the best tool but I had so many conversations lately with people that feel the same
yes, it's the best AI agent there is
but the direction feels unclear, I sense a lack of vision
wish I'd know what their grand plan is, or if they have one
coming from an engineering and product owner background, this hits harder for me than others maybe, but I really hope they figure it out

@quantizor You deserve so much more recognition for your work.
SC is an incredible tool for the instances where runtime CSS-in-JS make sense (and yes, there still a few)

@Osinttechnical Don't feel too bad for past FBI directors, they all are complicit in the Epstein coverup.
