It's been a journey. Nice to have such a candid and relaxed convo in a beautiful setting.

Thermodynamic Computing will be the dominant paradigm for physical intelligence
Welcome to the next paradigm. This is a Thermodynamic Program in sim using @GillVerd @extropic THRML. Every filament is a descent path through the energy landscape of the navigation field at the heart of my drone brain for the Z1

Something similar is happening with thermo software btw A billion pbits coming your way sooner than you think
Anthropic says Claude Mythos could bring quantum computing “within reach sooner” after designing circuits that make a critical operation ~17x cheaper. What makes this interesting is AI can now design, test and improve these circuits on its own so that opens the door to faster breakthroughs across quantum computing without waiting for better hardware.

Why didn't I think of marketing single-pbits this way? 😆 – at San Francisco, CA
Coin labs is announcing our new decision model Flip-1. - Distilled down to 1 parameter - 50% on yes/no bench - Runs fully offline

Tried this model early. It's really wonderful. (pun intended)
Introducing Muse Wonder, our new family of frontier models with state of the art performance for personal and professional agentic work.

The carefully constructed status game around mathematics was dismantled overnight All that is left is purpose. Why do you want to solve a certain problem? What will you be able to do given a solution? Will the latter unlock be worth the compute costs? Golden Age of Applied Math – at San Francisco, CA
has a group so esteemed ever crashed out this bad? i always saw mathematicians as the high priests of truth and intellectual integrity, but ai comes along solves a few problems and the exposed themselves as just another group of status hungry individuals. how they can’t see this as the beginning—not the end—is beyond me.

if you have a .edu, .gov or .mil email you can now get a full 8x B300 node for $4/GPU-hour. nebius charges $9.50 on demand and a lot of clouds are sold out AMD MI355X nodes are $3 and the wait right now is under a minute you just ask marshall, their AI agent, and it finds you a node this is a major public good for researchers who've been priced out of frontier compute thank you @AnjneyMidha
hundreds of MI355x and B300 nodes now live on nationalcompute.com subsidized for all .edu and .govs it’s time to scale the frontier ecosystem for the public benefit

If I were doing a PhD in Math right now, I would just type "gg wp" in ChatGPT, close my laptop, and leave the program for industry.

Solving quantum gravity imwould be like peering all the way to the Hubble horizon of complexity
AI is a telescope for concept space The bigger the model, the further out we can peer into the void of complexity

Thanks for playing.
i asked GPT 6 Pro and Fable 5.1 to rank all discoveries in the last three years 🔵 for Human discovered 🔴 for AI discovered (before October 6th) 🟢 for AI discovered from OpenAI/math repo 81% of them have been released today. wtf

The future of compute is heterogenous. Excited to thermodynamic computing to play an increasingly important part.
Disaggregated inference is the future. Great panel with @general_compute discussing their heterogenous compute cloud, the speciation of compute for disaggregated inference, and how thermo compute will fit in the picture More coming soon. Stay tuned 😉
