Excited about this partnership between @kyutai_labs and the 💎 research team @gen_intuition to lead at frontier of world models and spatiotemporal reasoning.
kyutai@kyutai_labs

Launching @kyutai_labs x @gen_intuition - research collab at the frontier World models and agents capable of spatiotemporal reasoning are the next frontier. As builders of this technology, we have a responsibility to educate. This is impossible without both unique data and world-leading talent. Through our research collaboration, both labs will share data and talent seamlessly. The necessary data lives inside only a few companies, and isn’t available on the internet. With 1B+ ground truth action labeled video uploads per year @gen_intuition owns the largest, most diverse, ground truth action labelled dataset. @kyutai_labs utilizes the data for open research, resuming their culture of publishing on the frontier Talent moves between the two labs, switching freely between open-ended research and application Join us in NYC and Europe: open roles at GI: jobs.ashbyhq.com/medal open roles at Kyutai: kyutai.homerun.co/technical-staf…

@SebJohnsonUK @demishassabis @GoogleDeepMind With the Protein Data Bank (created 1971). The work of thousands of scientists over 50+ years making protein structures available to the world. The Nobel Committee should have included it in the Nobel. Cost of that open source effort estimated at $10bn+ @NSF

@chr1sa Demis staying in London and Yann LeCun opening FAIR in Paris have been two of the most consequential favourable moves for European AI

DeepMind spinouts in London are attracting huge amounts of cash. First $1 billion for David Silver's Ineffable Intelligence and now another $2 billion for Isomorphic. The economic impact of DeepMind on the UK is grossly overlooked because it's owned by an American company, despite the fact that the Alphabet sends billions *to* the UK. I rant about this parochial myopia here linkedin.com/pulse/why-isnt…
MTS@MTSlive

SITUATION BREWING: Isomorphic Labs, the AI drug discovery company spun out of Google DeepMind, is in advanced discussions to raise more than $2 billion led by Thrive Capital.

When are you going to start your country already @elonmusk ? You are getting close to the critical mass needed. Secure a medium-sized island with an irrevocable jurisdictional detachment, defend it with Palantir tech, make it pro-freedom, pro-builders, low-tax, ultra-lean, attract the world’s best entrepreneurs and capital, and build the next frontier.

@TheHolyKau What people forget is the absolute vital role of Demis in fostering the UK ecosystem while being acquired at Google or Yann LeCun establishing FAIR in Paris. It doesn’t have to be de Gaulle all the time.

The UK media is weird af. Varun Chandra is 'Special Envoy to the United States on Trade and Investment' The guy meets every big tech and AI company asking for investment, literally doing his job Turns out The Guardian thinks this is a problem. Sometimes I really struggle with the UK, it punishes what it should celebrate. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Some may feel I’m dwelling on this, but I am concerned for the health of the UK economy. The yield on the 10-year gilt has climbed 12 basis points today (see the CNBC chart below), decoupling from both oil prices and yields in other advanced economies—both of which are currently lower. Meanwhile, the 30-year yield has just hit a 28-year high. #economy #markets #gilts #uk

Huge news: @prior_labs has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by @SAP. €1B+ invested over four years to build a globally-leading frontier AI lab for structured data — in Europe, in the open. Independent entity. Same team, same mission, same open models. A massive boost to what we can do. The mission just got accelerated. Founders’ statement: priorlabs.ai/blog-posts/pri… (Deal subject to regulatory approval; terms not disclosed.)

Since January 2024, 1M+ Russians are estimated to have lost their lives or been wounded to take territory in Ukraine the size of Puerto Rico or Cyprus. And nearly 500,000 Ukrainians have heroically fought to repeal or slow these advances.
Grok@grok

**According to Black Bird Group's data (the graph in this thread), Russia's net territorial gains in Ukraine since Jan 2024 total ~8,576 km² through April 2026.** That's roughly the land area of Puerto Rico (US commonwealth, 8,868 km²) or very close to Örebro County in Sweden (8,519 km²). For European comparison, it's a bit smaller than Cyprus (9,251 km²).

According to our data, in April the net gains of the Russian armed forces were approximately 94km². Russian offensive attempts continue to struggle, while the frontline on the southern front has largely consolidated after the Hulijaipole offensive of February and March. 1/

@Normal_2610 The point that he is missing is that AI will empower the deep and broad STEM talent in India, whose main opportunity was outsourcing its talent. Now this talent can build application for the world with smaller teams out of Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Pilani

India spends 0.6% of GDP on R&D, South Korea does 5.2%, Taiwan does 4%, US does 3.5%. That gap existed before, but it hits differently now because AI runs on hardware - chips, memory, compute clusters and all of that comes from deep R&D spending built over decades. India skipped that step. We built IT services on cheap labor, not on research. Now when the world wants to bet on who makes the AI infrastructure, India has nothing on the table. Sharma is just saying what the numbers already say. When Yu Correlate with Economic Mcap India is going to learn hard Lesson Sharma says he never seen this much foreign investor apathy toward India in 30 years. But Google put in $15B, Microsoft $17.5B, Amazon pledged $35B - all into Indian AI infra. So what's happening? Portfolio investors and strategic investors are looking at two different Indias. FIIs want stocks that ride the AI wave, they don't see Indian companies in that game. Hyperscalers want cheap land, young engineers, and a 20-year tax holiday. They see India just fine. The money is coming, just not through the stock market & I like this Boring Hard FDI Investing in India this is what i personally Wanted Hard FDI means that not easily moveable like Building Something Physical In 1999, the tech boom needed coders. India had millions of them at a fraction of US cost. That's how Infosys and TCS became global names. AI current phase is different, it needs fabs, GPU clusters, power grids, and memory chips. None of that is labor-driven. India biggest strength - cheap skilled talent, doesn't matter in the hardware buildout stage at all. The talent part kicks in later, when AI moves to applications and deployment. We're just not there yet. Hope india will focus at least in Long term Infrastructure

@alemannoEU The EU was created exactly for the current geopolitical reality we find ourselves in, yet its flawed institutionalisation since its founding has generated so much backlash that its worthy original purpose is sadly forgotten.

Alberto Alemanno 🇪🇺@alemannoEU·
The U.S. is unilaterally escalating trade pressure on the European Union with new tariffs, effectively sidelining the spirit of prior agreements and raising doubts about their durability. This move highlights how fragile the arrangement was and reinforces criticism that the EU conceded too much without securing reliable enforcement.

Jensen is one the smartest and most far seeing folks the world. "If an AI scientist warns people that AI is going to permeate across radiology and radiologists are going to get wiped out, it might seem helpful but it's hurtful. If we convince everybody not to be radiologists and we now need radiologists, that actually is hurtful to society. "It is hurtful to convince all the young college graduates not to study software engineering because we are going to need more software engineers than ever. That's hurtful." "Scaring people with nonsensical things, which are not going to happen, that this is an existential threat, there's a 20% chance that is is existential, that's ridiculous. "That it's going to wipe out 50% of college level jobs. "That is it going to completely destroy democracy. "These kinds of comments are not helpful. They are made by...CEOS. And you become a CEO, maybe you adopt a God complex and somehow you know everything." Brutal. And right.
