Continuous Thought Machines
Introducing Continuous Thought Machines: a new kind of neural network model that unfolds and uses neural dynamics as a powerful representation for thought.
Intellect-2 Release: The First 32B Model Trained Through Globally Distributed RL
We're excited to release INTELLECT-2, the first 32B parameter model trained via globally distributed reinforcement learning. Unlike traditional centralized training efforts, INTELLECT-2 trains a reasoning language model using fully asynchronous RL across a dynamic, heterogeneous swarm of compute contributors.
In 2025, venture capital can't pretend everything is fine any more
Venture capital is screwed. A bubble in AI is their last hope, and they’re betting everything on Sam Altman. It’s heartwarming. Today, we have the Pitchbook-NVCA Venture Monitor for Q1 2025. This i…
A critical look at MCP
"MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data…
Writing an LLM from scratch, part 13 – attention heads are dumb
A pause to take stock: realising that attention heads are simpler than I thought explained why we do the calculations we do.
Absolute Zero Reasoner
Current reasoning models trained with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) often rely on manually curated datasets, raising scalability concerns and potentially limiting future AI growth beyond human-defined tasks. To address this, we propose the Absolute Zero paradigm, where a single model…
'I paid for the whole GPU, I am going to use the whole GPU'
A guide to maximizing the utilization of GPUs, from cloud allocations to FLOP/s.
Web search on the Anthropic API
Claude can now search the web through the API, giving users access to real-time information with citations for building up-to-date AI applications. Unknown block type "latestUpdates", specify a component for it in the `components.

Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview
Explore the new Gemini 2.5 Pro I/O Edition, featuring enhanced coding performance, video to code capabilities, and improvements for front-end web development.
Evolving OpenAI's Structure
An update from the OpenAI board on transitioning its for-profit entity to a Public Benefit Corporation, reinforcing its mission-driven structure under nonprofit oversight while enabling greater impact and long-term alignment with the public good.
As an experienced LLM user, I don't use generative LLMs often
But for what I do use LLMs for, it’s invaluable.
AI Meets WinDBG
Because manually squinting at hex dumps is so last century. Let me show you how AI-assisted debugging is leaving WinDBG's command line in the dust.
I'd rather read the prompt
I have literally never seen LLM writing that actually improved my life.
Expanding on what we missed with sycophancy
A deeper dive on our findings, what went wrong, and future changes we’re making.
xAI dev leaks API key for private SpaceX, Tesla LLMs
An employee at Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI leaked a private key on GitHub that for the past two months could have allowed anyone to query private xAI large language models (LLMs) which appear to have been custom made for working with internal data from Musk’s companies, including SpaceX , Tesla and…
New Study: Waymo is reducing serious crashes and making streets safer
The path to Vision Zero requires reducing severe crashes and improving the safety of those most at risk. Our latest research paper shows that the Waymo Driver is making significant strides in both areas. By reducing the most dangerous crashes and providing better protection for pedestrians, cyclists, and other…
Towards the Cutest Neural Network
I recently needed to use a microcontroller to estimate the pose (translation and orientation) of an object using readings from six different sensors. Since the readings were non-linear and coupled with each other, an explicit analytical solution was out of the question.
Claude Integrations
Claude can now connect to your apps and tools through Integrations, while advanced Research searches across the web, Google Workspace, and connected services to quickly deliver comprehensive reports.
AI code review: Should the author be the reviewer?
AI reviewing AI-generated code - genius or pointless? Deep analysis of AI code review paradox + real data on why it actually works better than humans.

Phi-4 Reasoning Models
Microsoft continues to add to the conversation by unveiling its newest models, Phi-4-reasoning, Phi-4-reasoning-plus, and Phi-4-mini-reasoning. Learn more.
RustAssistant: Using LLMs to Fix Compilation Errors in Rust Code
The Rust programming language, with its safety guarantees, has established itself as a viable choice for low-level systems programming language over the traditional, unsafe alternatives like C/C++. These guarantees come from a strong ownership-based type system, as well as primitive support for features like closures…
