McGovern neuroscientists have discovered that you don't need language to think logically. People with severe language impairments solve complex reasoning puzzles perfectly and brain scans show language areas remain silent during logical reasoning. mcgovern.mit.edu/2026/07/06/…

LLMs bring fluency. Knowledge Graphs bring ground truth. For François, that distinction is everything. The Knowledge Graph is the memory of the enterprise! Traceable, consistent, built to last. It doesn't approximate ... it knows.

KGC 2026 is one week away. And here's why you want Dougal Watt in the room live. "Organizations are racing to layer AI agents on top of the same broken foundation. And I wonder why agents hallucinate."

"The ontology IS the deployment artefact" — not documentation. That's what GraphResearchLabs is building. Dougal Watt is demoing it live at the next KGC Demo Day. 🔗 RSVP link: luma.com/1mgcipj5

It's true – @modal has raised a $87M Series B at a $1.1B valuation to advance the future of AI infrastructure.  Thank you to @Lux_Capital, @Redpoint, @AmplifyPartners, and others. Now more than ever, AI demands a complete reinvention of traditional compute infrastructure

[From the KGC archives:] "The Knowledge in Your Code" presented by Stephen Goldbaum, Engineer at Morgan Stanley, at KGC 2023. Business app devs put a wealth of knowledge into their code. Too often, that information is left untapped. Watch the talk here: youtube.com/watch?v=2uH3_lX5…

500M parameters is all you need - future is going to be wild! 🤯 Directly takes user input & generates gameplay - there’s no game engine involved - direct neural network output ⚡️ Along with a 500M param model Oasis by @Etched - MIT licensed! > Frame Generation: Autoregressive, 20 frames per second > Architecture: Spatial autoencoder (ViT) and latent diffusion backbone (DiT) > Training: Diffusion Forcing with independent per-token noise levels > Temporal Stability: Dynamic noising to reduce error accumulation So excited about the recent trend of world models in gaming! 🤩

Modal is awesome and a real game changer for serverless NLP 💚 In this tutorial, I show you how you can go from an idea and little data to a fully custom model using prodi.gy and @modal_labs, no infrastructure or GPU setup required! explosion.ai/blog/modal-prod…
