AI multiple compression in action, now < 30x sales :o jk congrats to the Cursor team, many more tab keys to goCursor: We've raised $2.3B in Series D funding from Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Thrive, Nvidia, and Google. We're also happy to share that Cursor has grown to over $1B in annualized revenue and now produces more code than any other agent in the world.

RT Henri Liriani We're launching Lightfield today. It's a CRM designed for founders going zero to one—shaped in the past year by hundreds of founders who took a bet on us and now use it daily, and a waitlist of 20,000 more. When starting out, it takes countless hours of talking to customers to figure out what works. From day zero, Lightfield builds and updates itself from your unstructured conversations with customers. It becomes your customer memory: helping you execute deals, communicate without missing details, and understand patterns across your business. It's free to try. Would love to hear what you think: http://lightfield.app

Just call it the Gabecube Hardware looks to be around AMD Ryzen Al Max+ 395 (strix halo) level Would be cool if RAM was upgradeable, can run 128 Gb for LLMs (see @FrameworkPuter Desktop)The Game Awards: First footage of Valve's Steam Machine, shipping in early 2026. 6x more powerful than a Steam Deck.

RT Wes Roth thank you so much to @DrKnowItAll16 for highlighting our talk with @EMostaque It was a fascinating conversation. Emad is able to provide insight on a lot of subjects, but specifically we talked about the future of work and employment. I recommend watching this one asap.DrKnowItAll: This is a great interview with @EMostaque. I highly recommend watching it.

RT Shengyuan Hi Dzmitry, our INT4 QAT is weight-only with fake-quantization: we keep the original BF16 weights in memory, during the forward pass we on-the-fly quantize them to INT4 and immediately de-quantize back to BF16 for the actual computation. The original unquantized BF16 weight is retained because gradients have to be applied to this.🇺🇦 Dzmitry Bahdanau: can someone explain to me int4 training by @Kimi_Moonshot ? does it mean weights are stored in int4 and dequantized on the fly for futher fp8/bf16 computation? or does this mean actual calculations are in int4, including accumulators?

Will continuous learning for AI models be solved within 2 years

RT Emad Will continuous learning for AI models be solved within 2 years

In a year or so this level of performance should be available on a 32b dense model (K2 is 32b active) at a cost of < $0.2/million tokens I don't think folk have that in their estimatesKimi.ai: 🚀 Hello, Kimi K2 Thinking! The Open-Source Thinking Agent Model is here. 🔹 SOTA on HLE (44.9%) and BrowseComp (60.2%) 🔹 Executes up to 200 – 300 sequential tool calls without human interference 🔹 Excels in reasoning, agentic search, and coding 🔹 256K context window Built Link: https://x.com/Kimi_Moonshot/status/1986449512538513505

No current AI systems have morals explicitly encoded into them at pretraining time. At the very least they should have Asimov's laws of robotics ehPope Leo XIV: Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity.

Can you imagine being a "frontier" lab that's raised like a billion dollars and now you can't release your latest model because it can't beat @Kimi_Moonshot ? 🗻 Sota can be a bitch if thats your targetEmad: Can you imagine being a "frontier" lab that's raised like a billion dollars and now you can't release your latest model because it can't beat deepseek? 🐳 Sota can be a bitch if thats your target Link: https://x.com/EMostaque/status/1881380253630890471

Necessity is the mother of invention Also - training optimally on small amounts of chips with focus on data means the Chinese models take 10-100x less compute to run as well & have that cost advantage $150/mGPT 4.5 vs $0.5/m DeepSeek v3 etcYuchen Jin: If you ever wonder how Chinese frontier models like Kimi, DeepSeek, and Qwen are trained on far fewer (and nerfed) Nvidia GPUs than US models. In 1969, NASA’s Apollo mission landed people on the moon with a computer that had just 4KB of RAM. Creativity loves constraints. Link: https://x.com/Yuchenj_UW/status/1986474507771781419

I actually think all governments should offer infrastructure underwriting and guarantees for AI build out just as they do for other essential infrastructure - China does! The productive capacity of a country - its intelligent capital stock - is basically it’s GPUs & robotsSam Altman: I would like to clarify a few things. First, the obvious one: we do not have or want government guarantees for OpenAI datacenters. We believe that governments should not pick winners or losers, and that taxpayers should not bail out companies that make bad business decisions or Link: https://x.com/sama/status/1986514377470845007

A note on costs/compute Base Kimi K2 model used 2.8m H800 hours with 14.8 trillion tokens, about $5.6m worth Details of post training for reasoning not given, but it is likely max 20% more (excluding data prep!) Would be < $3m for sota if they had Blackwell chip accessKimi.ai: 🚀 Hello, Kimi K2 Thinking!

Congratulations to @Kimi_Moonshot for achieving state of the art on many benchmarks & open sourcing the model! The gap between closed & open continues to narrow even as the cost of increasingly economically valuable tokens collapses K2 has its own unique vibe too, try it out!Kimi.ai: 🚀 Hello, Kimi K2 Thinking!

RT BrianEMcGrath Amazing interview with @RaoulGMI and @EMostaque! Some takeaways from this conversation: 1. AI's (LLMs) use tokens that are equivalent to 1.3 words per token. 2. The avg person speaks 20,000 tokens / day. 3. The avg person thinks about 200,000 tokens / day. 4. The latest Grok 4 model costs $0.50 per 1 million tokens. So the current LLMs can do the equivalent of week's worth of knowledge work for $0.50 with an IQ higher than the avg person! ...and they will only get better. Things are changing rapidly.Raoul Pal: A conversation with @EMostaque will always blow your mind. This one is no exception... Enjoy! Link: https://x.com/RaoulGMI/status/1983883585586393195
