Today is OpenStack's 15th birthday! What an honor to be part of this community from the beginning. I've met so many friends all over the world and have enjoyed seeing others fall in love with open source and make careers and companies out of it, in OpenStack & beyond! To 15 more!

Wallace Shawn Emerges As Frontrunner To Replace Daniel Craig As James Bond
OK! My Google colleague Thang Luong shared some exciting updates about AlphaGeometry2! AG2 now has surpassed the average gold-medalist in solving Olympiad geometry problems, w/ a solve rate of 84% compared to 54% previously! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.03544 See full list of authors on link
Hey @jeffdean.bsky.social , help bring posts like the AlphaGeometry2 one to this network please! Using the other place as the only place is bad for the field!
📢 Today we're releasing a new highly detailed dataset for video understanding: HD-EPIC arxiv.org/abs/2502.04144 hd-epic.github.io What makes the dataset unique is the vast detail contained in the annotations with 263 annotations per minute over 41 hours of video.
Another seed could be a wikipedia style data curation effort. In parallel, research data-efficient models that can be trained on 100M tokens. This is comparable to both what humans need to develop speech and to wikipedia, proving that it's possible to curate this amount of data as a community.
First day at FOSDEM and I’m loving it. So much open source and interesting people. Just met a guy who wrote code for F1 to make the cars faster including physics simulation models for designing carbon fiber spoilers and better gear efficiency.
I’d like to learn more about Merriam and Webster. What was that partnership like? I wonder if they ever fought, battled, combatted, wrestled, dueled, or skirmished?
I used the DeepSeek R1 reasoning model to prepare for a new course proposal. These screenshots show with and without the "DeepThink" option turned on--strikingly different. R1 does a lot more synthesis and offers clearer suggestions. It also accepts pdf files, o1 doesn't. Crazy this is open source.

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.
Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

While a low-temperature universe theoretically provides an ideal environment for reducing noise, the lack of available energy ironically makes reliable computation—and potentially intelligent life—unsustainable in the long run. So don't even worry about it.
My instinct is that Uber may be the wrong comparison because there's no reason for AI power to stay concentrated in the hands of a few. Every closed model has been matched in capability by an open source one within a few months, freeing anyone in the world to run it.
stop lying: if you just died in my arms tonight, you would not be singing right now
One of my favourite words to say is "infinitesimal". You get the one-two internal rhyme of "in" and "fin" to start, and then, at the end, the delicious long-short-long rhythm of "tes", "i", "mal". Five star word
