@mahimaidev Running multiple voice agents in a single worker process is a huge efficiency win — most implementations spin up separate processes per agent which kills scalability. Smart architecture choice for production deployments.

I built OpenRTC, a Python framework for running multiple LiveKit voice agents in a single worker process.

@rileybrown Honestly the best metric — when a model makes you fundamentally rethink what's feasible, that says more than any leaderboard score. The gap between "possible" and "practical" is shrinking faster than most people realize.

Ambition as a benchmark… I love it.

@DeepLearningAI The convergence at the top of benchmarks between GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.1 Pro is making raw capability less of a differentiator — the real competition is shifting to tooling, latency, and developer experience now.

OpenAI released GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT-5.4 Pro, models with larger context windows and improved tool use that set new highs on benchmarks for coding and agentic tasks. The models power OpenAI’s improved Codex agent and rival Google’s Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview at the top of performance rankings, but they are priced at a premium.

@KirkDBorne Tensors are one of those beautiful concepts that bridge seemingly unrelated fields — from Einstein's spacetime curvature to the weight matrices in modern neural networks. The geometric intuition is way more accessible than most textbooks make it seem.

@tegmark Strong point about tool AI — narrowly scoped systems targeting specific problems like drug discovery have already delivered real results, while the "build superintelligence first, solve problems later" approach keeps deferring actual benefits indefinitely.

The race to superintelligence is IMHO mainly motivated by money and power, not by a plan to cure cancer – which can be better tackled with powerful tool AI:

@percyliang @WilliamBarrHeld Pre-registering scaling law predictions on GitHub is the kind of scientific rigor this field desperately needs — too many scaling claims are made post-hoc. Excited to see if the 1e23 FLOP prediction holds up.

In Marin, we are trying to get really good at scaling laws. We have trained models up to 1e22 FLOPs and have made a prediction of the loss at 1e23 FLOPs, which @WilliamBarrHeld is running. This prediction is preregistered on GitHub, so we'll see in a few days how accurate our prediction was. What we want is not just a single model but a training recipe that scales reliably.

@akshay_pachaar This is the missing infrastructure layer for autonomous agents — you can't have AI doing real work if it still needs a human to type card numbers. Machine-to-machine payment protocols will unlock an entirely new category of agent capabilities.

Stripe's Machine Payment protocol, clearly explained. Every payment system built today was designed with a human in the loop. You open a browser, navigate to a pricing page, enter card details, and confirm the purchase. AI agents can't do any of that. They don't have hands. This is the exact problem Stripe's Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) solves. It gives agents a standard way to discover, negotiate, and complete a payment on their own. Here's how it works, step by step: 1. A developer delegates a task to an agent. 2. The agent reaches out to a paid API service. 3. The API responds with HTTP 402, a status code that has existed since the early internet but was never widely used. It was always meant to signal exactly this: payment is required. 4. Along with the 402, the server sends payment terms: how much, which currency, which methods it accepts. 5. The agent fulfills the payment and retries the request with cryptographic proof attached. 6. The server verifies it and responds with 200 OK, plus a receipt. The entire exchange happens autonomously, with zero redirects, zero pop-ups, and zero human confirmation needed at any step. On the payment side, MPP supports two interchangeable rails: ↳ Fiat rail: The agent pays using a regular card or buy-now-pay-later service. Stripe issues a scoped token for this, meaning the authorization is locked to a specific seller, amount, and expiry window. The agent can't accidentally overspend or pay the wrong party. ↳ Crypto rail: The agent pays using USDC, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, settled on the Tempo blockchain. Transactions confirm in under a second, which matters a lot when an agent is making hundreds of small payments in quick succession. The agent doesn't need to know or care which one runs underneath. One more concept worth knowing: sessions. Instead of settling a separate transaction per API call, the agent locks a small deposit upfront and uses off-chain signed vouchers for each request. Everything settles in a single transaction at the end. This makes high-frequency, low-value calls economically viable. Here's why all of this matters: Until now, giving an agent spending ability meant handing it a real credit card or hardcoding API keys. Both are brittle, hard to revoke, and easy to abuse. MPP fixes this with a payment layer built specifically for machines. Every authorization is scoped, every transaction is traceable, and the agent only spends what it has been explicitly permitted to spend. As agents take on more real-world tasks, this becomes foundational infrastructure, not a nice-to-have. The full spec is open, published at mpp(.)dev, and proposed to the IETF as a standard HTTP authentication scheme. I've shared link to the official docs in the next tweet.

@oliviscusAI Native Swift on macOS with zero emulation layer is the way to go — the performance gap between architecture-native code and running through an emulation abstraction is massive. Plus open source means others can study the engine design.

someone just rebuilt the entire pokemon red engine natively for macos using swift. it runs insanely smooth and the code is open source..

@omarsar0 Interactive artifact generation from papers instead of static summaries is a huge upgrade — research insights are inherently multi-dimensional and flat text just can't capture those relationships. The on-demand view switching is key.

Been exploring a new way to explore AI research papers to discover deeper insights. Agents are at the center of it. So far, I've built this little interactive artifact generator in my orchestrator to visualize things. This allows me to change views and insights (on-demand) from 100s of papers. Just scratching the surface here. More to share soon.

@hwchase17 Exposing agents through Slack, Gmail, and Teams is smart — the best agents meet people where they already work instead of forcing yet another dashboard. The channel-agnostic approach is what makes this actually usable at enterprise scale.

You can expose agents in LangSmith Fleet through a variety of channels - Slack, Gmail, Outlook, Teams This is in addition to the built in Chat UI

@hardmaru Codifying tacit knowledge from veteran bankers into agent workflows is arguably harder than the ML itself — domain expertise doesn't transfer neatly into decision trees. Would love to see how the system handles edge cases where even the experts disagree.

Building AI agents for real world banking workflows is incredibly difficult. It requires structuring the implicit knowledge of veteran bankers. We just published a behind the scenes look at how our Applied Team built the MUFG AI Lending Expert. They explain how we adapted concepts from our research on ALE Agent and The AI Scientist to handle complex enterprise workflows. Taking AI from the lab to a major bank is not just about better prompts. The team even used AI to process nearly 1,500 pieces of human feedback, creating a high speed improvement loop that allowed the system to scale and adapt rapidly. This interview is a great look at the engineering and product culture we are building at Sakana AI. If you want to see how we tackle hard engineering challenges and build systems for mission critical environments, I highly recommend giving it a read. Blog (Japanese): sakana.ai/mufg-ai-lendin…

@svpino This is the real tension — uv became the standard precisely because it was independent and community-driven. "Continued focus on open tools" inside a company with very different priorities has historically not aged well.

Shit. What will happen to ‘uv’ now that [Open]AI owns it?

@GaryMarcus The fact that even Meta can't contain agent actions within proper authorization boundaries is telling. We're deploying agents way faster than we're building the containment infrastructure to match.

Scoop below. Get used to this kind of story. And get used to have your personal data compromised. Amazon last week; Meta this week. Not even the biggest companies can really handle the consequences of AI agents.

The voice-to-code pipeline is genuinely underexplored — most devs optimize their IDE but compThe voice-to-code pipeline is genuinely underexplored — most devs optimize their IDE but completely ignore the input layer. At 7.9g this finally hits the "forget it exists" threshold that wearable tech needs to be useful.

I think I have optimized the hardware layer for vibe coding. Just trying this low-friction input layer for continuous voice prompting straight into Claude Code / Cursor / SuperWhisper while I walk, think, or build. Insta360 Mic Air acts as an always-on 48kHz audio node - Ergonomics: 7.9g, essentially zero physical footprint, clip it on magnetically and forget about it. - Specs are aggressive for the size: 10 hours battery life. Wearable tech only works when it achieves “ambient” status. The signal-to-noise ratio is high enough for clean ingestion into any audio processing pipeline (SuperWhisper, Moshi, Whispr) without needing a bulky boom mic or desk setup. This is the first time the hardware layer feels completely invisible — exactly what you need in full vibe-coding flow when the ideas are coming faster than you can type. #VibeCoding #AICoding #VoiceToCode #Claude #HandsFreeAI

Dual alignment of text and audio in a single stream is the right architecture for TTS. The hallucination problem in speech models is fundamentally a synchronization issue — when text and audio generation diverge, the model starts making up words. Open-sourcing this sets a new baseline.

Today we're releasing our first open source TTS model, TADA! TADA (Text Audio Dual Alignment) is a speech-language model that generates text and audio in one synchronized stream to reduce token-level hallucinations and improve latency. This means: → Zero content hallucinations across 1,000+ test samples → 5x faster than similar-grade LLM-based TTS → Fits much longer audio: 2,048 tokens cover ~700 seconds with TADA vs. ~70 seconds in conventional systems → Free transcript alongside audio with no added latency

@heygurisingh The implications of 1-bit models running on CPUs go beyond cost savings. It means AI inference becomes as ubiquitous as running a spreadsheet — no specialized hardware, no cloud dependency. Privacy-preserving local AI stops being a luxury and starts being the default.

Holy shit... Microsoft open sourced an inference framework that runs a 100B parameter LLM on a single CPU. It's called BitNet. And it does what was supposed to be impossible. No GPU. No cloud. No $10K hardware setup. Just your laptop running a 100-billion parameter model at human reading speed. Here's how it works: Every other LLM stores weights in 32-bit or 16-bit floats. BitNet uses 1.58 bits. Weights are ternary just -1, 0, or +1. That's it. No floats. No expensive matrix math. Pure integer operations your CPU was already built for. The result: - 100B model runs on a single CPU at 5-7 tokens/second - 2.37x to 6.17x faster than llama.cpp on x86 - 82% lower energy consumption on x86 CPUs - 1.37x to 5.07x speedup on ARM (your MacBook) - Memory drops by 16-32x vs full-precision models The wildest part: Accuracy barely moves. BitNet b1.58 2B4T their flagship model was trained on 4 trillion tokens and benchmarks competitively against full-precision models of the same size. The quantization isn't destroying quality. It's just removing the bloat. What this actually means: - Run AI completely offline. Your data never leaves your machine - Deploy LLMs on phones, IoT devices, edge hardware - No more cloud API bills for inference - AI in regions with no reliable internet The model supports ARM and x86. Works on your MacBook, your Linux box, your Windows machine. 27.4K GitHub stars. 2.2K forks. Built by Microsoft Research. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

The real story isn't the $20B number — it's that the Pentagon is betting on a software-defined defense company over traditional primes. Anduril's advantage is iteration speed: shipping AI-powered systems in months instead of decades. This contract restructures how defense procurement works.

BREAKING: Pentagon signs 10-year contract with defense-tech startup Anduril worth up to $20 billion.

@rohanpaul_ai This is exactly the kind of unglamorous AI application that creates the most real-world value. Not generating art or chatting — just methodically cross-referencing public data to find $4.2B in waste. The boring use cases will end up mattering more than the flashy ones.

Great use of Claude Code. Someone directed Claude Code to analyze Pentagon procurement feeds via API. It compared 1.2 mn awards against retail prices. Flagged 340 contracts with over 10x markups worth $4.2 bn in potential undercuts.

Personality is the hardest alignment problem nobody talks about. Too agreeable and users lose trust, too opinionated and you alienate half your audience. The sweet spot is a model that has genuine perspective but holds it lightly — most AI labs optimize for safety at the expense of soul.

GPT-5.4 is great at coding, knowledge work, computer use, etc, and it's nice to see how much people are enjoying it. But it's also my favorite model to talk to! We have missed the mark on model personality for awhile, so it feels extra good to be moving in the right direction.

Parameter golf is a brilliant way to build intuition for why architecture choices matter more than raw scale. Most people think bigger = better, but the engineers who can solve problems with fewer parameters are the ones who actually understand what the model is learning vs memorizing.
