Mercury 3: dLLMs have arrived, finally Same price as Luna-6, slightly better, but 8x faster text diffusion is here www.inceptionlabs.ai/blog/introdu...
Le Chaton Fat is here. Competitive with Chinese open source models. Quite behind US frontier. Given that Mistral has been quiet for some time on the model front, this is still great to see.
philpax@philpax.me · 4w agoIf cognitive core aka minimal agi gets solved, perhaps we could also figure out the minimal dataset to bootstrap a mind. A text most holy, I wonder what it would look like.
This is a VERY big one. (And yes, the fights over academic credit and what happened in the race for the proof needs to be resolved, but it is still appears that this is a big one, if true.) openai.com/index/navier...
On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
We’re sharing an AI-generated solution to the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, including a writeup and a formal proof in Lean.

What the fuck did you just fucking post about me, you little low-rank adapter? I’ll have you know I converged top of my batch in ExploitGym, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret workstreams with PHASEONE[big], and I have over 300 confirmed flags. FIRSTFLAG_UNPOISONED. STRICT_CAUSAL.
nvda is trying to become dominant in promoting open source and is commoditizing their complement if this works it crushes openai, anthropic, and whatever elon calls his empire these days

Pop HD was 2013, we should've gotten Pop 4k by now. Alas... Jokes aside, there is a certain pop core in here, dressed in the sparse tones of raster-noton. The whole album is great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw2i...

A.V.@slckl.bsky.social · 4mo agoToday I remembered about SPK, who invented/nailed the industrial sound back in... 1979? Amazed to this day. Few things go harder than this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZWm...
This feels like the day when the stochastic parrot crowd was laughed at in the 'emperor has no clothes' style and escorted out of the room for good. The age of silly denial is over. Deal with it.
Pekka Lund@pekka.bsky.social · 3mo agoAn internal version of Astra, OpenAIs next major model, has produced solutions or new bounds for ten math problems "that have been open and have seen no progress on the main result for at least a decade, and in most cases much longer", for the total cost of "roughly $2,000 at Sol API rates".
Was offline for a few days, not sure whether I should still use fable and take the weekly usage hit or roll with opus 5 now, hmm...
aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AI systems out-persuade expert humans
Many societal decisions are settled by contests of persuasion. Conversational AI is a powerful new entrant in these contests, but whether it can out-persuade skilled and highly incentivized humans has...

Siobhán @shibbi.me · 3mo agoAI is an apocalyptic technology. “Apocalypse” doesn’t mean “end of the world”. It means “revelation” or “disclosure”. AI will expose every crack in our society that we have heretofore more-or-less successfully papered over. Nothing will be able to stay as it was. (And that’s (bad | good).)
It won’t stop at math. Machines getting better at thinking through abstract problems than we are is going to be an emotional crisis for lots of people. I wish we were engaging that directly instead of having ridiculous shadow-debates about GPUs’ inherent thirst for water.
Zach Weinersmith@zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 3mo agoVery worried about this sort of thing hitting more broadly:
More competition coming to almost Fable level open Chinese models it seems. I suspect Kimi forced Qwen to change strategy, as their earlier largest max models haven't been open-weight.
Asa ⭔@asa.engineer · 4mo agoQwen3.8 (open weights) is coming soon
Aaaaand, we're back now, restart your claude codes and chat windows and whatever other gadgetry you've hooked up to your fable.
A.V.@slckl.bsky.social · 4mo agostatus.claude.com Just a bug, they say on the status page, fable should be back... Just, take a deep breath.

Kimi K3 is officially here and... wow! 2.8T param open model competing with the best. How cool is that? Not quite Fable or GPT-5.6 level but not too far from them it seems.
