This is an incredible idea. I would usually be skeptical that such an engineering-focused tool would "make it," but Mitchell Hashimoto is one of the very few people I think can pull it off. This is going to change so many things i

I have the pro account for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok. They all have various strengths and weaknesses. My favorite is still ChatGPT, then Gemini/Claude, then Grok. Grok often feels 1-2 generations behind the competition in gener

The only mistake he made was not buying Tesla around the M3 launch. Elon was desperate and would have sold it to him for cheap. He didn't take the meeting. Otherwise I completely agree, once Tesla reached takeoff, it's too hard fo

I will say this in the most charitable terms I can. Microsoft simply does not have it in their culture to compete with something like this. Their prime days are over. They are slowly becoming IBM. They were completely correct to not compete

None of them do it well from our experience. We had to write our own custom pipeline with a mixture of legacy CV approaches to handle this (AI contract analysis). We constantly benchmark every new multimodal and VLM model that comes out and

"Polluting" is a very charged term. These satellites provide immense value. So far, there is no evidence these will stop us from watching the stars.

I used to work in ASR. Due to the nature of current multimodal architectures, it is unlikely we'll ever see accurate timestamps over a longer horizon. You're better off using encoder-decoder ASR architectures, then using tradition

It is insane that the thoughtful act of gift giving has been reduced into a checklist item. What is the point anymore?

Two PMs left a company with 125,665 employees. Yes, they are very important, but this happens every day at companies all around the world. Could be burnout, they are rich, got better offers, anything really. People are so desperate for Tesl

This is kind of a wild story. Sam Altman is openly flexing that he was able to skirt the rules and regulations by threatening economic damage to California. It's not even subtle anymore. This reminds me of when the former CEO of Hyunda

Incredible technology, but that was an insufferable video. Still very cool, I might preorder one!

I have the Xbox Ally, Steam Deck, and original Ally. The original Ally software launch was a disaster. Unbelievable amount of bugs and overall terrible user experience. After 6+ months of updates it was decent. I figured, hey, maybe they fi

People are usually not querying across 5 million documents in a single scope. If you want something as simple as "suggest similar tweets" or something across millions of things then embeddings still work. But if you want something

Full text agentic retrieval. Instead of cosine similarity on vectors, parsing metadata through an agentic loop. To give a real world example, the way Claude Code works versus how Cursor's embedded database works.

Embedding based RAG will always just be OK at best. It is useful for little parts of a chain or tech demos, but in real life use it will always falter.

For anyone wondering how to quickly get your codebase into a good "Gemini" format, check out repomix. Very cool tool and unbelievably easy to get started with. Just type `npx repomix` and it'll go. Also, use Google AI Studio,

This is the nature of public markets. Not everything should be public. In fact, MOST things should not be public. Because being public forces accountability and liability to shareholders in a way that is completely unlike being private. A c

Only for Sonnet. No 1m for Haiku (this new model) and Opus. This means 2.5 Flash or Grok 4 fast takes all the low end business for large context needs.

The main thing holding these Anthropic models back is context size. Yes, quality deteriorates over a large context window, but for some applications, that is fine. My company is using grok4-fast, the Gemini family, and GPT4.1 exclusively at

Ok so Musk is the reason mass transit isn't a success? So why didn't we get mass transit before Musk was rich? In Austin we approved an enormous rail project and the taxpayers approved billions to build it. Years later, they have

A breakthrough in tunnel cost and speed per meter. Have you read into this at all or is this just another snarky comment?

Ok, so they should build a train/subway. Who has done this? Is anyone doing it? If not, why? Should we stop all other projects that are short of the perfect solution?
