If Norway eventually get knocked out it’s all thanks to Sorloth, I despise players like this, he probably got tired of Haaland making headlines what a bum


The Future of Meta Superintelligence: A 1 Year Progress Update A top tier RL environment startup spawns out of thin air, the most aggressive compute ramp we've ever seen, 2000km+ scale-across, and some advice for Google DeepMind semianalysis.substack.com/p/the-future-o…


Yesterday, we made GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra generally available. Today, we're sharing that it produced a proof of the 50-year-old Cycle Double Cover Conjecture using 64 subagents in just under one hour. We're sharing the prompt and proof below. We're excited to see what you all do with Ultra!


They did it, my beamish boys! ⚔️🐉 My 3rd and 6th graders have slain the AP Calc BC dragon and just got their 5s!

We've partnered with SpaceXAI to train Grok 4.5. It’s our most powerful model yet and the first we've built for more than software engineering.

With all due respect, I'd like to offer a few points of clarification. First, I have no issue with "shortcut models." In fact, many of my own papers use relatively simple models to solve important real-world problems. If a simpler model ultimately proves capable of capturing complex cellular biology and helping cure disease, I'd be delighted. Science should reward what works, not what is most sophisticated. Second, terms like virtual cells, foundation models, and world models are high-level concepts that describe a class of models rather than a specific algorithm. Similar terminology has emerged naturally in computer vision and NLP as the field evolved. I think it's reasonable to adopt analogous concepts in biology as we explore whether they can unlock similar advances. Whether these ideas ultimately live up to their promise is, of course, an empirical question. Rigorous validation will decide. This is exactly what my original post is about. Healthy skepticism is essential, but so is giving ambitious new directions the opportunity to prove (or disprove) themselves. I don't think we should dismiss a promising research direction simply because the terminology sounds aspirational 🙏🙏
