Surflo: Consistent 3D Surface Flow Model with Global State @antoine-guedon.bsky.social, Shu Nakamura, @nicolasdufour.bsky.social, Jiahui Lei, Ko Nishino, @akanazawa.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2606.13644

Nvidia’s Nemotron 3 Ultra. A 550B MoE frontier-intelligence open model built for long-running agents. It delivers 5x faster inference and lowers the cost of complex agentic tasks by up to 30% versus other open frontier models.

Generative Recursive Reasoning GRAM (Generative Recursive reAsoning Models) turns recursion itself into a stochastic latent trajectory. Multiple hypotheses, alternative solution strategies, and inference-time scaling not just by depth, but by width — parallel trajectory sampling.

Should a government without a majority of the vote be able to doom entire species to extinction? Proportional representation ensures environmental protections are built on broad majority consensus, not something to be ripped up when they become inconvenient.

Creating a water-sized chip has always sounded like a stupid bet to me.

My thoughts on Cerebras. Cathie Wood and Ark Invest bought shares in Cerebras. Enough said.

Perhaps his plan is to steal their model and usage data? Until recently I would trust Anthropic not to train on enterprise data. But not with X into the picture.

Ending direct fossil fuel subsidies alone would avoid 70,000 premature deaths from air pollution every year. It’s time to tax these deadly polluting corporations and go renewable.

Anthropic finds that they can use a weaker model to supervise a more capable model from sandbagging. Paper: Removing Sandbagging in LLMs by Training with Weak Supervision (arxiv.org/abs/2604.22082)

Anyone who has been to Dubai, or Abu Dhabi, knows they are places of opulence, and excess in the middle of the desert. They don't deserve "bailing out". The American People struggling to pay for essentials like housing, healthcare, and groceries, do.

Last year, we introduced FlexOlmo, a novel way to train parts of a model independently then combine them later. BAR builds on that idea for a harder problem: how to keep improving a model without having to retrain each time. 🧵

It seems, that we have failed the communication about IMC26. Let's try again. The competition this year is here: kaggle.com/competitions... No prizes, but whole year leaderboard -- similar to KITTY and other academic competitions. 3D people, please retweet and share.

The fossil fuel industry is probably the biggest fraud apparatus in the history of mankind. It should be joyous to take that machine down. #EEODayRI

High speed rail is a classic example of first-past-the-post policy whiplash. Governments elected with 40% or less furiously undo previous projects, so nothing gets built. Proportional representation incentivises broad consensus and stable, long term planning.

It definitely looks like a grift between Putin and Trump. Trump is most likely being blackmailed. Why else could this war instantly be improving Russia’s economic fortunes, while continuing to damage the economies of the rest of the world. There are so many other options for Trump and he chose this.

As a Canadian this matches my experience and I’m delighted with our scores… but shouldn’t they have inverted the order of that table? We should be on top and the USA in the bottom.

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

According to OpenAI, their contract with the US DoW locks in current law, "even if those laws or policies change in the future". Our legal analysis, with Virgil Law CEO Luke Versweyveld, shows that this is almost certainly incorrect. www.answer.ai/posts/2026-0...

Today marks a big milestone for me. I'm launching @law-zero.bsky.social, a nonprofit focusing on a new safe-by-design approach to AI that could both accelerate scientific discovery and provide a safeguard against the dangers of agentic AI.

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?" A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen. 1/??

Evolver, a near-universal optimizer for code and text. It achieved SOTA (95%) on ARC-AGI-2 (last week that is 😆) and 3x’d performance of the best open model, reaching GPT-5.2-level performance.
