Compare that to a software bug where when the code runs, it does something verifiably wrong. That bug is gonna be much easier for AI to fix than the much more intangible marketing issue. And while I don't believe that that means that this sort of self-driving should be enginee...
“Yeah, it might be like— but there's— if it's going to like potentially have some sort of motor to show that it's expressive, like it's moving, or there's a panel looking at you, I bet there's gonna be some sort of LED light or something.”
“The company just went live and the initial launch video shows examples like a father at a soccer game sending Chip to run errands and pick up snacks, to go park itself after the couple decides that they're going to take an Uber home from the bar. And clearly the idea is to ret...”
“I mean, that's been one of the rumors, but then we've also heard rumors that it was going to be something that was unlike something that has existed. So then it's like, oh, what does that look like? Um, and yeah, I mean, now we've got Bloomberg, Mark Gurman, um, reporting that...”
“Sources said the goal is to make the device feel like a physical manifestation of ChatGPT and somewhat alive, rather than just an electronic device responding to commands. To that end, the device will have some components that move on their own, making it feel like an anthropo...”
“And while the lawsuit discusses the brushed metal finish of an iPhone as one of their concerns, Apple is also reportedly working on a series of AI-powered smart home devices. That could muddy the waters quite a bit more. And to that end— OpenAI has elaborated slightly on their...”
“So Jony Ive of Apple fame. We've discussed like what are the products they're building. We've tried to kind of guess, but we know it's hardware related. And so we've known for a while that they were working on devices, whether it's trying to compete with or replace the iPhone,...”
“There we go. Yes. Accessed and downloaded dozens of Apple's confidential hardware-related files, including voluminous detailed information about unreleased products, engineering presentations, technical specifications, and proprietary project data. Other former Apple employees...”
“As a result, OpenAI's nascent hardware business now rests on the shakiest of foundations, rotten to its core by its illegal reliance on misappropriated trade secrets. Um, February 9th, weeks after he had left Apple knowing he had no right to do so, Mr. Liu tried to access Appl...”
“I do agree with Brian that whatever else is going on, there has clearly, and rightly or wrongly, been a shift towards viewing the Gulf as a key ally in the AI geopolitical era, and so I would expect more, not less, of this type of policy. Moving over to markets, SK Hynix stock...”
“The 2 chipmakers recently announced a $550 billion long-term construction plan to expand capacity. but at this stage, the buildout will be entirely within South Korea. Lutnick's comments were actually made during an event hosted by Micron, the largest US-based memory supplier....”

The Self-Driving Company
With how much we're still learning and how models are improving, it's clear this is only the beginning. Section: Beyond Engineering and Into the Whole Business. A self-driving company doesn't stop at engineering. Every function at Replit is changing. Usage spread quickly out o...
It's time you add agents that feel like teammates. Hire yours at HyperAgent, built by the team at Airtable. Claim your $1,000 in inference at hyperagent.com/AIDailyBrief. All right. So I think this is both a super interesting case study, but also even more than that, frankly, ...
Yeah, thank you. I love the game Chroma Chameleon. If you haven't played it or seen videos of it, the videos are absolutely hilarious. It's like a prop hunt where you run around as a character and you kind of pose and then you paint on yourself to try to blend in with your sur...
Sort of asking people to apply that AI concept to their legacy way of building applications will end up slowing them down, right? End up creating challenges. And so the opportunity and what I get to really focus on every single day is asking the questions, you know, great, I u...

We are seeing the opportunities for AI-based applications to evolve and grow into a similar way that cloud-based opportunities back in the early days grew and evolved
When you, when you talk about that kind of AI-centric approach that you're taking, With a lot of people, and we certainly are guilty of it on the show, like people here, for a long time we were talking about the latest models coming out and we were in that. And the last year i...
🔬 The Lab of the Future Should Feel Like a Data Center — Andy Beam & Rafa Gómez-Bombarelli, Lila Sciences
We think that like the lab of the future should feel like a data center, rows of server racks as densely packed as possible and also as energy efficient as possible and things like that.
This is going to be a boring and obvious one, but like, um, there's a metric that you use to track how efficient your training runs are. Um, it's called mean flop utilization or MFU. So the GPU comes with an advertised like peak flop throughput, which is under the best situati...

Is Kimi K3 Really Fable Class?
In fact, as we've been discussing fine-tunes of open models like Cursor's Composer 2.5, they tend to be built around a KIMI base. On Wednesday, the KIMI K3 teaser started coming in a serious way. AI leaker Leo Synthwave wrote, I think KIMI K3 is going to shock some of the Chin...
As for features, KIMI-K3 supports a million-token context window and native image inputs alongside text. It uses a mixture of experts architecture, which has become standard for both open source and proprietary models since it was introduced by DeepSeek. And the benchmarks, we...
But it's not as cheap as free and probably too big to run locally unless you're like some sort of billionaire who fights robots in their spare time. You know, robots like this.
It could be hitting next week. And wouldn't that make sense, Gavin? As we see, everybody goes open source, open weights, open this. It's always 6 months behind. And now look at this.

The Future of AI Infrastructure with CoreWeave
I think we will go through the same progression with AI and probably faster to the point where we will have AI engineering teams at every single enterprise company
Earlier, you talked a little bit about how us humans, the meatbags, are harder to change in terms of adapting to a new process or adapting to to use new technology. The last 2 are very, very interesting because changing roles is key. And I think this is probably the hardest th...

Is Kimi K3 Really Fable Class?
Will China start to care about cyber risk? Since policy has been emergent, I guess no one knows. All of this points to the need for some sort of international cooperation on model vetting. I don't really understand why she is still allowing KIMI to release such powerful open m...
a framework for frontier AI and a dawning of a new age. And what this post lays out basically is finally a way for these companies to kind of come together and maybe start to help self-regulate.
It's gotta draw differentiation somewhere. And even if the enterprises are valuable now, one of the unique things that OpenAI has that Anthropic doesn't is the consumer base. So maybe they feel it's important to actually have an answer to how to monetize that user base, and de...
