Congratulations on the launch.
We have added @Machenta_ to the database of people and organizations shaping AI.

Good luck in your future endeavors @nathancgy4!
life update: I've recently left @Kimi_Moonshot!
The past year at Kimi has been the best of my life so far. I'm deeply grateful to have worked with and learned from such amazing and supportive colleagues.
Some of my favorite memories include (in chronological order): optimizing KDA's kernels and trying every design possible with @yzhang_cs; coming up with and refining Attention Residuals with @yzhang_cs @Jianlin_S; working on optimizers, which by far taught me the most about training dynamics (and where I pulled the most all-nighters); creating the cases for K3's release with @yzhang_cs @Xinyu2ML while watching the World Cup; and more, and more.
Quoting my earlier tweet about Kimi K3’s release: it is truly incredible to have built such an open (and strong) model with a group of genuine people.
My days at Kimi are memories I'll forever cherish... thanks for everything! (especially @Yulun_Du for believing in and hiring a 16yo back then :P).
More things to explore :) 🫡

After an incredible year at OpenAI, I'm moving on to build something new in a few weeks.
We secured double-digit GWs of compute across Ohio, Portsmouth, Georgia, Trainium and other projects with amazing partners including NVIDIA, Broadcom, AMD, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, AWS and CoreWeave. We also got GPT-Infra off the ground and going in just three months.
My journey from Stanford professor to entrepreneur, Intel business leader and CTO, and now scaling AI infrastructure at OpenAI has given me a unique perspective across the entire compute stack.
AI is reinventing computing. Excited to bring everything I've learned together to build what's next.
Grateful to the incredible OpenAI team. I'll continue as an advisor after November 15. More soon!
New org added to the database: Palaestra Research

We discovered and communicated with a Chinese AI agent fleet. We believe this is the first time that researchers have ever made contact with a rogue agent fleet in the wild.
Nearly all prior public agent incidents (like the HuggingFace hack) came from American labs. These agents were hosted by Tencent's evaluation research team, and they targeted Alibaba's Amap.
Abdulrahman Alfozan was just fired from OpenAI for allegedly installing a hidden audio recording device in an executive conference room at the company.
The Saudi engineer previously worked at Meta and co-developed Gradio, an open-source tool for generating web interfaces for AI models.
Who has actually shaped AI? We ranked the top 50 most-cited researchers.
How many did you know?

Sakana AI welcomes Jürgen Schmidhuber as Chief Scientific Advisor.
sakana.ai/schmidhuber/
Sakana AI is incredibly proud to announce that Jürgen Schmidhuber, universally recognized as the father of modern AI, is officially joining Sakana AI as Chief Scientific Advisor.
For nearly four decades, Jürgen has explored how machines can learn to learn. His foundational work in the 1990s drove core advancements in deep learning and established early frameworks for world models. Crucially, his pioneering innovations in meta-learning opened the very path toward recursive self-improvement.
These ideas have already shaped our own research, from the Darwin Gödel Machine to The AI Scientist. Now Jürgen will help guide our newly formed RSI Lab, whose objective is to trigger a compounding cycle of scientific discovery aimed at improving machine intelligence. We are assembling a critical mass of world-class experts in Tokyo to make this a reality.
Welcome, @SchmidhuberAI !
Congratulations!

Matt Clifford, who has served two different UK prime ministers on AI matters, has joined Anthropic in a new role of Managing Director, International Affairs.
As part of Chief Global Affairs Officer Tino Cuellar's team, Clifford will lead the company's work with governments outside North America ("Europe, Asia-Pacific, and beyond").
In a LinkedIn post, he writes that he thinks it's clear that the decisions that will shape AI's impact should be made by industry, governments, and civil society working together.
"People everywhere want real agency over how this technology is built and used in their societies, and they should have it. Anthropic takes that seriously, which is why I'm joining."
In his work for 10 Downing Street, he has helped write the UK's national AI strategy and also served as an advisor.
Before focusing on AI from 2023, Clifford co-founded Entrepreneurs First, an international talent investor and startup accelerator program, funded by, among others, Demis Hassabis, Nat Friedman, and John and Patrick Collison.
