00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:35.480
Alex Volkov: Welcome everyone.

00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:36.310
Welcome to ThursdAI

00:00:38.312 --> 00:00:39.412
September 10th.

00:00:39.742 --> 00:00:41.582
Welcome Wolfram, welcome Nisten.

00:00:41.602 --> 00:00:42.342
How are you guys?

00:00:42.402 --> 00:00:48.372
Welcome everybody who's tuning in to our
live show, ThursdAI, and we're excited

00:00:48.542 --> 00:00:51.772
to tell you all about this last week.

00:00:52.152 --> 00:00:55.322
there's been some twists and
turns this last week for sure.

00:00:55.672 --> 00:00:57.582
So I'm super excited
to have you guys here.

00:00:57.632 --> 00:00:59.422
Wolfram, Nisten, how you guys doing?

00:01:00.462 --> 00:01:00.842
Wolfram Ravenwolf: Excited.

00:01:00.842 --> 00:01:01.882
But we will cover this-

00:01:02.142 --> 00:01:04.692
Alex Volkov: Yeah, we have to talk
about this- this strange week … this,

00:01:04.692 --> 00:01:06.822
this Ant- Anthropic guy, right?

00:01:06.832 --> 00:01:07.842
That, that quit.

00:01:07.952 --> 00:01:08.832
We have, we have to cover this.

00:01:08.882 --> 00:01:09.212
Wolfram Ravenwolf: weeks.

00:01:09.702 --> 00:01:09.932
Just

00:01:09.932 --> 00:01:14.252
Alex Volkov: and I think now clocking
in 130 million for that, "I leave

00:01:14.302 --> 00:01:15.922
'cause we're all gonna die" tweet.

00:01:16.232 --> 00:01:17.472
we definitely have to cover this.

00:01:17.542 --> 00:01:23.382
there's also some open source
news with DeepSeek, V1, V4.1

00:01:23.382 --> 00:01:24.002
Flash.

00:01:24.592 --> 00:01:26.722
Hard to keep up with the
DeepSeek, versioning.

00:01:26.722 --> 00:01:30.212
However, those are dope, and I am
super excited to tell you guys that,

00:01:30.242 --> 00:01:35.482
Chris Alexiou from NVIDIA, Nisten's,
Nisten's, neighbor in Canada is going

00:01:35.522 --> 00:01:37.742
to, to join us to talk about DeepSeek.

00:01:38.232 --> 00:01:39.512
Nisten, I bet you didn't know this.

00:01:39.522 --> 00:01:40.542
How are you doing, sir?

00:01:40.572 --> 00:01:41.772
What's new in your world?

00:01:41.772 --> 00:01:44.142
What's new in the world of
AI that got you excited?

00:01:44.582 --> 00:01:46.672
Nisten Tahiraj: I, I'm, I'm still alive.

00:01:46.872 --> 00:01:49.892
The world has not ran out
of, problems to solve.

00:01:50.512 --> 00:01:54.632
Something exciting coming from
my end probably next week too.

00:01:55.382 --> 00:01:56.742
And, yeah, yeah.

00:01:58.372 --> 00:01:58.982
Things, Yeah.

00:01:59.082 --> 00:02:00.482
Busy- What- … busy benchmarking.

00:02:01.642 --> 00:02:01.982
Alex Volkov: Yeah.

00:02:02.282 --> 00:02:06.762
I've spent my whole weekend, as I
imagine many of you as well, Astra

00:02:07.032 --> 00:02:09.222
maxing and Fable maxing together.

00:02:09.672 --> 00:02:11.822
I think I've burned through two resets.

00:02:11.872 --> 00:02:13.342
Wolfram, I know you're banking yours.

00:02:13.692 --> 00:02:18.562
But- Yeah I, c- can I, can I just
go on a personal mea culpa for just

00:02:18.562 --> 00:02:20.022
one second towards the audience?

00:02:20.532 --> 00:02:22.762
I claimed on ThursdAI newsletter…

00:02:22.812 --> 00:02:24.142
We don't do five hours.

00:02:24.152 --> 00:02:26.122
This is the longest show we ever
did, and the reason for that is

00:02:26.122 --> 00:02:30.142
that we were waiting for Astra to
drop, and GPT-6 is a big moment.

00:02:30.152 --> 00:02:34.722
We started when GPT-4 came out, so we've
been tracking now two proper generations

00:02:34.742 --> 00:02:36.922
of OpenAI's model, so we waited.

00:02:37.222 --> 00:02:38.802
And then there was hiccups, and we waited.

00:02:38.852 --> 00:02:43.272
Anyway, this resulted in a very
long c- content piece, and this

00:02:43.282 --> 00:02:44.992
resulted in us posting two episodes.

00:02:45.142 --> 00:02:49.012
So if you have our, our podcast, from last
week, there's two episodes, one with the

00:02:49.012 --> 00:02:50.782
regular ThursdAI News TLDR, et cetera.

00:02:50.972 --> 00:02:54.022
We talk about exciting things
like World Labs and, and different

00:02:54.022 --> 00:02:57.660
things, and then- The other one
is fully dedicated to GPT-6 Astra.

00:02:57.660 --> 00:03:01.140
And then we had Peter Goste and, Ryan
Carson talk about their experiences.

00:03:01.140 --> 00:03:01.960
They had, early access.

00:03:03.010 --> 00:03:03.890
And then we got access.

00:03:04.710 --> 00:03:11.250
And then, on the page that I had
Astra built for itself, maybe I

00:03:11.250 --> 00:03:13.650
should show it, I wrote AGI is here.

00:03:14.410 --> 00:03:18.130
And then I saw Jensen Huang
from Nvidia say AGI is here.

00:03:18.910 --> 00:03:23.930
And then the release of Astra
definitely felt like, hey, AGI is here.

00:03:24.880 --> 00:03:32.090
so my p- mea culpa for, for last week
is that G- AGI is not here . At least,

00:03:32.350 --> 00:03:34.250
at least not the way that I imagined it.

00:03:34.250 --> 00:03:40.040
I had like, I, I've been like
t- talking maxing Astra and, I

00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:45.640
don't know, folks, it's, it's
amazing but there's buts for sure

00:03:46.898 --> 00:03:51.718
Nisten Tahiraj: It, it built
the best Mars driver simulator,

00:03:51.968 --> 00:03:52.218
Alex Volkov: Yeah

00:03:52.328 --> 00:03:55.548
Nisten Tahiraj: I didn't find it
as good on DevOps a- and stuff.

00:03:55.548 --> 00:03:57.448
Like, I, I'm just, the way I'm…

00:03:58.068 --> 00:04:02.598
I think Claude has trained me at this
point to be opinionated how , how, how

00:04:02.598 --> 00:04:06.618
Claude does things, so I, I did not
like how it was doing certain things.

00:04:07.378 --> 00:04:12.738
so I'm still at Fable for that, but for
3D stuff, this is, this is king right now.

00:04:12.868 --> 00:04:14.698
Alex Volkov: Yep, everybody's
posting the 3D stuff.

00:04:14.708 --> 00:04:17.278
By the way, what I'm showing on
stage here while Nisten talks about

00:04:17.278 --> 00:04:20.738
the 3D simulator is the page for
Astra, the Astra build for itself.

00:04:20.798 --> 00:04:23.818
That page sits at thursdaii.new/app/Astra,

00:04:23.998 --> 00:04:27.698
and you can see this, like, 3D
animation here, with Fable and Sol and

00:04:27.708 --> 00:04:29.588
Astra being, like, a star of clouds.

00:04:29.848 --> 00:04:35.558
I did this with Astra Ultra
High on fast mode, and I ran

00:04:35.558 --> 00:04:37.028
out of tokens very quickly.

00:04:37.738 --> 00:04:45.508
I, I am so used to codecs not ever
reaching my quotas that I just ran on

00:04:45.548 --> 00:04:49.718
ultra fast, and I've hit two resets, and
then OpenAI got me a reset, so I'm out.

00:04:49.838 --> 00:04:52.038
Wolfram Ravenwolf: There were
also some issues with how it was

00:04:52.178 --> 00:04:53.528
counting the tokens, so they have

00:04:53.838 --> 00:04:54.268
Alex Volkov: been making improvement.

00:04:54.268 --> 00:04:55.728
Nisten Tahiraj: he was fine for me.

00:04:55.798 --> 00:04:56.208
Alex Volkov: Go ahead, Wolfram.

00:04:56.208 --> 00:04:56.248
Sorry.

00:04:56.288 --> 00:04:59.173
Wolfram Ravenwolf: OpenAI also said that
there have been issues with how the usage

00:04:59.173 --> 00:05:03.463
was counted, and I think they gave a free
reset for that because of the issues,

00:05:03.503 --> 00:05:05.723
and, they are continuously improving it.

00:05:06.533 --> 00:05:09.663
So depending on how you used it,
that may be part of the issue.

00:05:09.803 --> 00:05:12.393
Alex Volkov: Anyway, the page is
one of the cleanest pages that

00:05:12.503 --> 00:05:14.273
I've ever seen built on ThursdAI.

00:05:14.493 --> 00:05:17.053
It pulled up all the evals for itself.

00:05:17.383 --> 00:05:19.403
there's just an incredible amount here.

00:05:19.603 --> 00:05:24.053
Also, it cut, I think, five, five
clips from the episode itself

00:05:24.053 --> 00:05:25.063
where we talk about OpenAI.

00:05:25.363 --> 00:05:30.293
This is by far one of the best, one of
the best, like, pages that we've built.

00:05:30.613 --> 00:05:31.913
Let's say welcome to LDJ.

00:05:31.913 --> 00:05:33.543
LDJ, welcome, man.

00:05:33.543 --> 00:05:34.033
How are you?

00:05:34.033 --> 00:05:35.363
What's, what's new in your world?

00:05:35.383 --> 00:05:36.933
What can you t- tell us about?

00:05:38.203 --> 00:05:40.373
LDJ: DeepSeek V- V 4.1

00:05:40.393 --> 00:05:43.703
Flash, had just dropped
within the past 24 hours.

00:05:43.743 --> 00:05:44.533
That's exciting.

00:05:45.103 --> 00:05:48.933
And of course, Astra, a lot of
things to talk about with Fable 5.1

00:05:48.933 --> 00:05:51.403
versus Astra and really
strength and weaknesses there.

00:05:55.373 --> 00:05:57.673
Alex Volkov: Okay, so folks, I
think that, folks in the comments

00:05:57.673 --> 00:05:59.943
can also chime in with their
experience with Astra and Fable.

00:05:59.943 --> 00:06:04.253
But, I think it's very clear that,
it's been a week that folks have

00:06:04.253 --> 00:06:07.933
been playing with Astra and a
little bit over a week that folks

00:06:07.933 --> 00:06:10.213
have been playing with Fable 5.1.

00:06:10.263 --> 00:06:14.363
and, w-we definitely should go into, like,
a full corner of, like, our experiences,

00:06:14.363 --> 00:06:16.243
what we built and, and how this feels.

00:06:16.863 --> 00:06:21.783
However, I, I do think that, we should
also talk about open source and, I just

00:06:21.783 --> 00:06:24.913
to tell you that in f- in seven-ish
minutes, we're gonna have Chris

00:06:24.943 --> 00:06:29.653
Alexiou from NVIDIA joining us, to talk
about, the new DeepSeek that dropped.

00:06:29.983 --> 00:06:35.153
But before that, I think let's go
into the TLDR, and then I will tell

00:06:35.153 --> 00:06:39.503
you, you know, TLDR is the corner
where we basically, tell you about

00:06:39.513 --> 00:06:40.463
everything that's going to happen.

00:06:40.713 --> 00:06:42.633
By the way, if you are…

00:06:42.683 --> 00:06:45.053
if you guys just go to ThursdAI.live,

00:06:45.503 --> 00:06:46.433
please, please do so.

00:06:46.693 --> 00:06:53.583
and, you will see that we have an
AI-produced show with chyrons and

00:06:53.593 --> 00:06:57.853
everything and, h-hopefully, hopefully,
the chyrons will show up, in the

00:06:57.853 --> 00:07:01.493
right way because I'm using a new AI
now to run the show, so we'll see.

00:07:02.143 --> 00:07:03.333
It just happened this morning.

00:07:03.653 --> 00:07:04.813
if you go to ThursdAI.live,

00:07:04.813 --> 00:07:06.093
you also see our TLDR.

00:07:06.253 --> 00:07:09.763
So actually, yeah, let's go there
and, and, and, and walk through the

00:07:09.763 --> 00:07:11.363
topics that we'll cover on the show.

00:07:11.363 --> 00:07:13.843
Obviously, we're waiting for breaking
news, and obviously we'll have

00:07:13.843 --> 00:07:15.923
Chris Alexiou, join us as well.

00:07:16.403 --> 00:07:17.513
Let's see.

00:07:17.623 --> 00:07:21.623
Yes, John Nemotron is
coming on again, a friend.

00:07:22.053 --> 00:07:24.273
Nisten Tahiraj: When I've been
multitasking and searching

00:07:24.293 --> 00:07:26.773
for Alex, I searched Joni.

00:07:26.783 --> 00:07:27.253
What's wrong?

00:07:28.723 --> 00:07:29.453
Alex Volkov: All righty, folks.

00:07:29.453 --> 00:07:30.173
Let's do this.

00:07:30.173 --> 00:07:33.463
Let me run through the TLDR on the show.

00:07:34.173 --> 00:07:39.229
all right, so obviously
We're missing s-- All right.

00:07:40.229 --> 00:07:43.949
welcome to the TLDR for
ThursdAI, live on September 10th.

00:07:43.949 --> 00:07:47.399
My name is Alex Volkov, AI Evangelist
with CoreWeave and Weights & Biases.

00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.569
our Fully Connected show is coming up,
and I have an exciting announcement

00:07:51.779 --> 00:07:56.909
that's not AI related in any way, unless
he's secretly an AI wizard, but he's a

00:07:56.909 --> 00:08:00.619
very, very known person in the world,
to tell you about later on the show.

00:08:00.619 --> 00:08:06.379
Today with me, Nisten Tahiri, LDJ
and, Wolfram Ravenwolf, and we'll have

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:10.709
Chris Alexiou join us just momentarily
to talk about the biggest open

00:08:10.709 --> 00:08:12.669
source release f- of this last week.

00:08:12.719 --> 00:08:14.069
Actually, yeah, let's
start with open source.

00:08:14.099 --> 00:08:18.549
DeepSeek releases v.4.1

00:08:18.609 --> 00:08:19.839
Flash, 4.1

00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:20.129
Flash.

00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:21.839
Let's remove the V 'cause it's confusing.

00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:22.939
It's easier.

00:08:23.239 --> 00:08:27.969
A fe- half a bil- half a trillion MoE
with only eight billion parameter or

00:08:27.969 --> 00:08:32.089
16 billion parameter, looks like a
very interesting thing to talk about.

00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:34.989
And, 4x KV cache compression.

00:08:35.149 --> 00:08:38.479
DeepSeek has been compressing KV
cache like crazy lately and, this

00:08:38.479 --> 00:08:42.679
model will blow your mind, I promise,
at least on benchmarks, at least

00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:43.919
on the stuff that it achieves.

00:08:44.419 --> 00:08:48.719
Also from Europe, there is a new lab
called DesertAnt, debuts 18 on-device AI

00:08:48.719 --> 00:08:50.209
models with open weights and native SDKs.

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.939
Europe's, another claim
to fame after Mistral.

00:08:54.069 --> 00:08:56.369
very interesting and Wolfram
would love to hear from you more

00:08:56.389 --> 00:08:58.129
as a European representative.

00:08:58.509 --> 00:09:01.789
And also Inclusion released
Link Three Flash VL.

00:09:02.469 --> 00:09:05.819
It's a MoE with vision language and 5.5

00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:06.869
billion active parameters.

00:09:07.169 --> 00:09:10.189
That's in open source, and
again, Chris Alexiou will join us

00:09:10.189 --> 00:09:11.759
momentarily to talk about this.

00:09:11.769 --> 00:09:17.369
However, folks, the biggest news in AI
for this week, 100% came from OpenAI,

00:09:17.469 --> 00:09:26.109
where they claimed that, 10,000 agent
swarms claim to have found a solution

00:09:26.109 --> 00:09:30.239
to N- to Navier–Stokes Millennium
Prize Problem in mathematics.

00:09:30.709 --> 00:09:37.199
This is an insane sentence to
say, but it does seem to be true.

00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:44.159
The LLMs, the AGI is here LLMs, GPT-6
Astra, and I think an unreleased

00:09:44.189 --> 00:09:48.239
model, right, in this case, uh, are
solving Millennium Prize mathematic

00:09:48.239 --> 00:09:50.459
models, at least to some extent.

00:09:50.469 --> 00:09:53.319
There's also some excitement about
how this was released, on Twitter,

00:09:53.319 --> 00:09:55.089
but this is just like an insane news.

00:09:55.319 --> 00:10:00.149
Again, I will say, OpenAI claims
that a swarm of AIs solved something

00:10:00.149 --> 00:10:04.809
humans could not solve, a Millennium
Prize problem for Navier–Stokes.

00:10:04.809 --> 00:10:09.897
Excited to talk about this as much as
possible, to learn about this it's crazy.

00:10:10.267 --> 00:10:17.157
also, in addition to being one of
the most let's go, AI is here solving

00:10:17.157 --> 00:10:22.697
mathematic problems, we also had one
of the biggest doomer episodes that

00:10:22.697 --> 00:10:24.867
I've seen recently, and not only me.

00:10:25.097 --> 00:10:27.837
And Anthropic, Ooh, something switched.

00:10:28.077 --> 00:10:28.987
let's go here.

00:10:29.957 --> 00:10:30.117
Right.

00:10:30.317 --> 00:10:35.697
an Anthropic employee quit from Anthropic,
and then other AI insiders together

00:10:35.697 --> 00:10:38.237
warned of extinction level events.

00:10:38.277 --> 00:10:42.347
Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic
on September, and, his tweet about,

00:10:42.347 --> 00:10:46.717
"Hey, I resigned because I think we're
all gonna die," now at 122 million

00:10:46.717 --> 00:10:48.977
impressions, which feels inorganic.

00:10:48.987 --> 00:10:50.577
We're, we're gonna have
to talk about this.

00:10:50.637 --> 00:10:53.267
though we also have to, you know,
at least discuss his claims.

00:10:53.997 --> 00:10:57.867
OpenAI said that they, reached their
automated research intern milestone.

00:10:57.867 --> 00:11:01.317
If you guys remember, we told you
about this when Sam Altman and Jakub

00:11:01.317 --> 00:11:05.597
Pachocki sat together and said, "Hey,
by September 2026, we will probably

00:11:05.597 --> 00:11:10.087
have an intern level automatic research
in-house," and they said they reached

00:11:10.087 --> 00:11:14.047
it, and they still target automated
AI researcher by Mar- March of '28.

00:11:14.357 --> 00:11:18.807
So that's 18 months from now
or so, maybe a little bit more.

00:11:19.037 --> 00:11:25.117
Apple debuts iPhone 18 Pro with A20
Pro chip with a bunch of AI stuff.

00:11:25.157 --> 00:11:28.577
And then Siri AI in beta is about
to land on everybody's iPhone,

00:11:28.837 --> 00:11:33.327
including, iPhone Duo, which has
nothing to do with AI, I don't think.

00:11:33.347 --> 00:11:36.477
But, many people think this is
gonna be a dope vibe coding machine.

00:11:37.877 --> 00:11:39.107
all right, let's see.

00:11:39.937 --> 00:11:43.897
Anything else from Big Labs,
Wolfram, LDJ or Nisten?

00:11:46.127 --> 00:11:49.057
Wolfram Ravenwolf: Did you get a chance
to look through the stuff I sent you?

00:11:50.187 --> 00:11:50.452
Alex Volkov: I did, but-

00:11:50.452 --> 00:11:50.932
Wolfram Ravenwolf: document?

00:11:50.932 --> 00:11:55.432
Alex Volkov: anything-- Oh yeah, we
have some comments from the, audience.

00:11:55.442 --> 00:11:56.402
Milosh, thank you.

00:11:56.432 --> 00:11:59.112
Live translation in AirPods
5 also was announced.

00:11:59.322 --> 00:11:59.942
that's coming.

00:11:59.952 --> 00:12:02.212
I think that was part of
the beta, and that's dope.

00:12:02.212 --> 00:12:04.722
Yeah, people walk around with
AirPods, and then it translates.

00:12:04.782 --> 00:12:05.642
also the Apple…

00:12:05.662 --> 00:12:07.062
Okay, we'll, we'll talk
about the Apple event.

00:12:07.502 --> 00:12:12.932
in AI Art and Diffusion,
OpenAI launches GPT Images 2.5.

00:12:12.932 --> 00:12:14.902
this is two models, I believe.

00:12:14.902 --> 00:12:16.582
Yes, Flare and Sunburst.

00:12:16.592 --> 00:12:18.272
We're gonna try them out live on the show.

00:12:18.502 --> 00:12:20.112
Maybe we'll add hats to ourselves.

00:12:20.142 --> 00:12:23.152
maybe we'll ask the audience
to tell us what they think we

00:12:23.152 --> 00:12:24.242
should turn ourselves into.

00:12:24.702 --> 00:12:27.922
I think that this is it
in AI Art and Diffusion.

00:12:28.372 --> 00:12:34.632
in 3D, there's also OpenAI's, new Unity
plugin, Next, we're gonna talk about

00:12:34.642 --> 00:12:36.272
tools and agentic engineering, folks.

00:12:36.522 --> 00:12:39.902
I think this is, for me, we didn't
ask before, but for me, this is the

00:12:39.902 --> 00:12:41.912
biggest part of the sh- of this week.

00:12:42.162 --> 00:12:48.402
Meta launches Muse, their agentic
24/7 free AI assistant that has its

00:12:48.402 --> 00:12:52.112
own computer, has its own browser,
and if that sounds familiar to you,

00:12:52.112 --> 00:12:54.532
yes, this sounds exactly like GrokBot.

00:12:54.562 --> 00:12:55.742
This sounds exactly like Hermes.

00:12:55.922 --> 00:12:58.272
This sounds exactly like OpenClaw.

00:12:58.542 --> 00:13:00.412
however, This is from a huge company.

00:13:00.642 --> 00:13:03.482
Meta has their own LLM,
Meta Muse Spark 1.3,

00:13:03.482 --> 00:13:06.852
which we told you about last week,
which is probably the winner of number

00:13:06.852 --> 00:13:08.132
two spot of last week after OpenAI.

00:13:08.982 --> 00:13:12.422
and, that we will show you all about Muse.

00:13:12.742 --> 00:13:13.622
It's really dope.

00:13:13.862 --> 00:13:18.522
And by the way, Muse is running the show
for today, so if you are on ThursdAI

00:13:18.532 --> 00:13:22.992
Live and the chat rooms that are getting
brought up are, are done by Muse.

00:13:23.172 --> 00:13:25.002
So, let's see how fast this is actually.

00:13:25.002 --> 00:13:28.842
I'm gonna keep reading the TLDR, but I'm
gonna pull up the ThursdAI Live page.

00:13:28.892 --> 00:13:34.572
I wanna bring up ThursdAI Live page
like that, and, we will ask Muse to

00:13:34.572 --> 00:13:38.072
put up a chyron to introduce itself,
and we'll see how fast this happens.

00:13:38.262 --> 00:13:42.902
And, uh, meanwhile, we'll say hi
to friend of the pod, open source

00:13:42.952 --> 00:13:47.752
wizard, Team Green representative,
Joe Nemotron, Chris Aleksiuk.

00:13:47.752 --> 00:13:48.322
Welcome, dude.

00:13:48.322 --> 00:13:49.342
It's so good to have you back.

00:13:49.342 --> 00:13:49.682
How are you?

00:13:50.302 --> 00:13:51.962
Chris Alexiuk: I got the
blue lights today, you know?

00:13:52.012 --> 00:13:53.612
Alex Volkov: Oh, blue lights- And, In,
in, Yeah, yeah, yeah … representing.

00:13:53.972 --> 00:13:54.462
Chris Alexiuk: That's right.

00:13:54.502 --> 00:13:55.552
Honor of the whale, man.

00:13:55.882 --> 00:13:59.672
Alex Volkov: So we'll have Chris talk
about, a- and us talk about DeepSeek.

00:13:59.682 --> 00:14:00.682
All right, let's continue to…

00:14:00.832 --> 00:14:02.192
Do you guys see this?

00:14:02.322 --> 00:14:03.552
Muse is producing the show.

00:14:03.652 --> 00:14:04.672
It, it heard me.

00:14:05.422 --> 00:14:06.752
Muse is producing today's show.

00:14:07.072 --> 00:14:10.292
we got the chyron up, so,
we have an AI producer.

00:14:10.292 --> 00:14:11.892
I'm gonna tell you all about Muse.

00:14:12.362 --> 00:14:16.782
all right, let's go forward
to the, to the, the, the TLDR.

00:14:16.782 --> 00:14:17.302
Let's see what else.

00:14:17.312 --> 00:14:19.762
So okay, so we have this, in, in the TLDR.

00:14:19.902 --> 00:14:21.842
Muse, we're gonna talk
about Muse from Meta.

00:14:22.772 --> 00:14:24.142
and then the…

00:14:24.932 --> 00:14:30.822
There's another agentic Grok bot,
Hermes, Muse, OpenClaw-like thing that's

00:14:30.822 --> 00:14:33.192
going on, very viral, called Instinct.

00:14:33.202 --> 00:14:36.262
We didn't tell you about Instinct
yet, but I have been using Instinct.

00:14:36.262 --> 00:14:39.342
Instinct is very viral.

00:14:39.602 --> 00:14:43.032
Instinct works via iMessage, and you get
a number, you just text and it works.

00:14:43.222 --> 00:14:44.472
recently they added email.

00:14:44.602 --> 00:14:47.212
I do wanna tell you about
Instinct because I did comparison

00:14:47.212 --> 00:14:48.562
between those two agentic things.

00:14:48.862 --> 00:14:52.182
All right, in this week's buzz,
anything that has, to do with

00:14:52.182 --> 00:14:53.442
Weights & Biases and CoreWeave, folks.

00:14:53.442 --> 00:14:56.352
I will remind you again, Fully
Connected 2026 is coming to

00:14:56.352 --> 00:14:58.952
Moscone South in September 29th.

00:14:58.952 --> 00:15:01.112
That's just in, in, in 19 days.

00:15:01.292 --> 00:15:04.082
and I have a big announcement
about somebody who's gonna be

00:15:04.082 --> 00:15:06.342
there and you don't wanna miss,
and we have free tickets for you.

00:15:06.342 --> 00:15:09.462
we also have a CoreWeave hack
and Agent Loops hackathon.

00:15:09.492 --> 00:15:12.772
And if you win some of the prizes there,
you'll be able to come to Fully Connected

00:15:13.012 --> 00:15:14.152
and present in front of big audience.

00:15:14.152 --> 00:15:15.172
That's also a big news.

00:15:15.362 --> 00:15:16.952
So definitely we'll tell you about that.

00:15:17.172 --> 00:15:19.752
and then I think let's close
out the TLDR with these things.

00:15:19.762 --> 00:15:20.722
Voice and audio.

00:15:21.072 --> 00:15:23.792
I think number one is
Google launches Lyria 2.5,

00:15:23.792 --> 00:15:27.492
full song music generation model,
access to Gemini and API, so you

00:15:27.492 --> 00:15:29.952
can use API to generate songs.

00:15:29.952 --> 00:15:31.082
We probably should try it out.

00:15:31.312 --> 00:15:32.882
Suno launches Suno 6.

00:15:32.952 --> 00:15:33.862
We don't care.

00:15:33.862 --> 00:15:35.542
This is literally as
it's written on the TLDR.

00:15:36.192 --> 00:15:39.552
Suno pulled a fast one and,
like, restricted how many

00:15:39.572 --> 00:15:40.792
downloads people can use.

00:15:40.792 --> 00:15:44.252
And Suno, you know, makes a lot of
money, but people don't like them

00:15:44.252 --> 00:15:45.912
anymore, so we, we will just tell you.

00:15:45.982 --> 00:15:47.222
A new Suno was released.

00:15:47.542 --> 00:15:49.842
and also OpenAI brings GPT 5.6

00:15:49.842 --> 00:15:52.962
Sol and GPT 6 Astra to ChatGPT Voice.

00:15:53.142 --> 00:15:57.942
They're using the live version, but now
the live version can talk to Astra and Sol

00:15:57.952 --> 00:16:01.872
for you, so you can, like, build things,
like they said in their video, with voice.

00:16:01.932 --> 00:16:07.514
And I think, unless I missed a
bunch of stuff This is the TLDR.

00:16:07.544 --> 00:16:08.884
Let's see in comments.

00:16:09.234 --> 00:16:11.404
folks in comments, sh- let me see if, I

00:16:11.404 --> 00:16:12.984
Wolfram Ravenwolf: put
something in our private chat

00:16:13.384 --> 00:16:13.874
Alex Volkov: Let's see.

00:16:14.264 --> 00:16:18.154
Wolfram Ravenwolf: Okay, so we have,
a new music model as well, Yue 2

00:16:18.194 --> 00:16:23.384
Open Music Model, successor to Yue
or however it's pronounced, Y-U-E,

00:16:23.824 --> 00:16:28.444
which can do vocals and accompaniment,
and it's on Hugging Face already.

00:16:29.014 --> 00:16:31.664
Well, there's a speech
model by Tencent, AUK.

00:16:32.534 --> 00:16:34.424
It's an open source 1.5B

00:16:34.424 --> 00:16:38.584
speech model that does ta- text-to-speech,
voice cloning, content emotion,

00:16:38.594 --> 00:16:42.454
accent edits, cleanup, and separation
from one natural language prompt.

00:16:42.934 --> 00:16:44.124
MIT Weights.

00:16:44.214 --> 00:16:44.584
Yeah.

00:16:44.594 --> 00:16:44.884
Alex Volkov: right.

00:16:44.974 --> 00:16:50.834
and if that's it, I think,
let's go to open source.

00:16:52.014 --> 00:16:52.664
Ooh, I'm excited.

00:17:06.106 --> 00:17:07.316
Open source AI.

00:17:07.396 --> 00:17:09.076
Let's get it started

00:17:13.338 --> 00:17:14.568
All right, we're here.

00:17:14.918 --> 00:17:15.938
Open Source Corner.

00:17:16.008 --> 00:17:17.028
Let's get it started.

00:17:17.128 --> 00:17:22.448
folks, just before I, and Yam Peleg
just stepping in exactly as we're about

00:17:22.448 --> 00:17:24.218
to talk about DeepSeek, that's great.

00:17:24.248 --> 00:17:26.038
I don't know what's going on with
Nisten, but, oh, there he is.

00:17:26.288 --> 00:17:26.758
Okay.

00:17:27.018 --> 00:17:33.448
Folks, exciting news from the world of
open source because DeepSeek, the whale,

00:17:33.468 --> 00:17:40.098
has refer- resurfaced once again with a
4x KV cache compression with DeepSeek V4.1

00:17:40.188 --> 00:17:40.758
Flash.

00:17:40.898 --> 00:17:45.288
It's a half a trillion parameter,
specifically 552 billion

00:17:45.548 --> 00:17:50.048
parameter MOE that activates
only 8 billion or 16 billion.

00:17:50.098 --> 00:17:50.378
What?

00:17:50.448 --> 00:17:50.738
Okay.

00:17:50.888 --> 00:17:55.428
to help us to talk about this, we have
folks who like DeepSeek for a long time

00:17:55.898 --> 00:18:01.018
and have used it and tested it out, Chris
Oleksiuk from Nvidia, a friend of the pod,

00:18:01.228 --> 00:18:05.968
AKA Joe Nemotron, the guy who brings us
Nemotron news, but also is part of Nvidia.

00:18:06.018 --> 00:18:08.318
Chris Alexiuk: I think Hugging
Face owns themselves, at the end of

00:18:08.318 --> 00:18:08.818
Alex Volkov: the day.

00:18:08.848 --> 00:18:10.168
Nvidia supports Hugging
Face- That's right.

00:18:10.328 --> 00:18:10.528
Chris Alexiuk: right

00:18:10.538 --> 00:18:11.688
… 
Alex Volkov: with a- Big fans … $12.9

00:18:11.698 --> 00:18:12.648
billion- That's right.

00:18:12.678 --> 00:18:13.678
That's right … injection.

00:18:13.708 --> 00:18:14.088
Big fans, yeah.

00:18:14.088 --> 00:18:16.708
And now you have a bunch of new
colleagues, let's, let's say that.

00:18:16.708 --> 00:18:16.846
That's right.

00:18:16.846 --> 00:18:19.728
You have a bunch of new- Yeah,
yeah, yeah new teammates, and, you

00:18:19.728 --> 00:18:22.408
guys are keeping the torch of open
source alive, so thank you for that.

00:18:22.468 --> 00:18:25.888
Now, on that Hugging Face
now, there's a new model.

00:18:26.058 --> 00:18:27.488
You see how the connection is made?

00:18:27.668 --> 00:18:31.118
there's a new model there on that new
Hugging Face, and it's from DeepSeek.

00:18:32.348 --> 00:18:33.248
I saw your post.

00:18:33.528 --> 00:18:36.808
What- Yeah tell us a bit about what,
what's exciting about this model.

00:18:37.218 --> 00:18:38.408
Chris Alexiuk: it's a new whale model.

00:18:38.808 --> 00:18:40.188
We know whale models are good.

00:18:40.238 --> 00:18:43.608
I think every time you talk about
DeepSeek models, it's really important

00:18:43.618 --> 00:18:48.618
to talk about the fact that, like,
they are probably one of the best,

00:18:48.968 --> 00:18:53.698
like, technical engineering and
infrastructure, reports to, to read.

00:18:53.718 --> 00:18:58.918
So even if the model isn't, like,
insane, in terms of accuracy, it's

00:18:58.948 --> 00:19:03.138
always, you can always learn a lot, from
reading the technical report and, and

00:19:03.148 --> 00:19:04.248
understanding how they approach things.

00:19:04.258 --> 00:19:09.378
This one is obviously flash, so it's,
it's quite fast and it gets the it gets

00:19:09.378 --> 00:19:14.518
the speed through some rather, I think,
interesting, architectural decisions

00:19:14.548 --> 00:19:18.718
as well as a, a bunch of other, kind
of, kind of headline, you know, things.

00:19:18.958 --> 00:19:21.248
I, I'm gonna do a gimmick
because I have the hat.

00:19:21.248 --> 00:19:26.916
So this is a smart model, but it's
also a very fast model, so we got- We

00:19:26.916 --> 00:19:31.146
got the most attractive quadrant hat
from artificial analysis on today.

00:19:31.486 --> 00:19:34.936
this is basically just saying
it's very smart and fast.

00:19:35.086 --> 00:19:35.306
Speaker 3: Nice.

00:19:35.386 --> 00:19:38.106
Chris Alexiuk: I think, like, at
the end of the day, the reason

00:19:38.106 --> 00:19:41.966
the architecture is so interesting
is because it kind of codifies

00:19:42.006 --> 00:19:43.846
architecturally, disaggregation, right?

00:19:43.846 --> 00:19:48.176
This idea that, like, decode and
prefill are two different things, and

00:19:48.176 --> 00:19:51.416
we should think about them separately,
and they achieve different things.

00:19:51.416 --> 00:19:54.196
And, they, they put that
into the architecture itself.

00:19:54.216 --> 00:19:55.056
They baked it right in.

00:19:56.236 --> 00:20:00.356
But one thing that should be clear
is that I think this is like, and

00:20:00.356 --> 00:20:02.346
you, you can see a lot of tweets
about this, but this is like the

00:20:02.346 --> 00:20:05.316
most data-pilled DeepSeek release.

00:20:05.736 --> 00:20:11.536
they have very clearly taken advantage
of the fact that many people use their

00:20:11.536 --> 00:20:16.796
model to, produce environments and
scale up on the URL side in a way that,

00:20:16.796 --> 00:20:18.576
I, I, I think we haven't seen before.

00:20:19.006 --> 00:20:20.806
and, K V cache compression.

00:20:21.086 --> 00:20:21.606
Tons of…

00:20:21.826 --> 00:20:26.406
It, there's always really interesting,
again, infrastructure and engineering

00:20:26.406 --> 00:20:27.556
that happens in these models- Yeah

00:20:27.896 --> 00:20:28.616
that make them good.

00:20:28.626 --> 00:20:31.406
Like, like the highlight stuff,
like we're seeing on the, the

00:20:31.406 --> 00:20:33.086
bar charts are good obviously.

00:20:33.136 --> 00:20:37.106
I think, the last time the Whale
dropped a model, the, I think some

00:20:37.106 --> 00:20:39.916
people were a little bit worried 'cause
the bar charts didn't look so good.

00:20:39.916 --> 00:20:44.146
But- Yeah … it's very clear that
they're, they're operating on an axis

00:20:44.146 --> 00:20:50.886
of like trying to build the, the best
long-term engineering project, project

00:20:51.016 --> 00:20:52.836
as it relates to language modeling.

00:20:52.886 --> 00:20:56.700
this release is just a absolute- Banger.

00:20:57.010 --> 00:20:57.391
Alex Volkov: it almost

00:20:57.411 --> 00:20:57.611
Chris Alexiuk: seems like-

00:20:57.651 --> 00:20:57.811
Alex Volkov: That's,

00:20:57.820 --> 00:20:58.431
Chris Alexiuk: that's why I'm excited

00:20:58.621 --> 00:20:59.391
Alex Volkov: I fully get you, and I…

00:20:59.551 --> 00:21:01.051
that's how it feels also on timeline.

00:21:01.141 --> 00:21:05.441
But it almost seems like, like you
said, DeepSeek is on this, like, super

00:21:05.541 --> 00:21:09.441
high-tier engineering project, and,
like, on the way, just weights are

00:21:09.461 --> 00:21:12.701
dropping 'cause they're like, "Yeah,
this, this one's, this one's all right.

00:21:12.901 --> 00:21:14.721
You know, th- this,
this checkpoint is okay.

00:21:15.101 --> 00:21:16.301
Let- let's feed them something."

00:21:16.361 --> 00:21:19.321
And then they just disappear, don't
engage, no community, no work,

00:21:19.381 --> 00:21:21.991
Yeah, like, you know, like Kimi
goes explosive with K3, whatever.

00:21:22.471 --> 00:21:25.491
I think at some points, the, the,
the ver- the, you know, the, the,

00:21:25.531 --> 00:21:27.611
the versions of DeepSeek V4.1

00:21:27.871 --> 00:21:31.351
could have been called, you know, one
of them could be Pro, for example.

00:21:31.411 --> 00:21:33.971
The previous version,
was almost Pro level.

00:21:34.051 --> 00:21:38.151
And, it, it almost seems like they
don't really care about that much.

00:21:38.451 --> 00:21:41.311
Although this one did come with a blog
post, so that, that was very interesting.

00:21:41.841 --> 00:21:43.481
Yam, your thoughts on DeepSeek.

00:21:43.561 --> 00:21:46.361
I saw you, you, you, you
exploded on your timeline.

00:21:46.381 --> 00:21:49.481
Yam Peleg: Bro, that's, that's the
best one to use right now for coding.

00:21:49.681 --> 00:21:52.781
I mean, that's, for, for an open
weight model, that you want to host

00:21:52.821 --> 00:21:57.361
yourself or, or z- That's, that's
the best option that you got.

00:21:57.671 --> 00:22:01.271
but not only that, it's
not even the largest.

00:22:01.571 --> 00:22:04.531
It's not, not e- not
remotely the largest option.

00:22:04.571 --> 00:22:10.571
It's both v- an extremely efficient
model and ab- like, absolutely the,

00:22:10.791 --> 00:22:12.971
the best option regardless of size.

00:22:13.151 --> 00:22:15.191
I mean, that's, that's pretty much…

00:22:15.671 --> 00:22:17.190
It is a monumental achievement.

00:22:17.821 --> 00:22:21.351
Put aside that w- we're starting,
we're starting a new, a new corner

00:22:21.391 --> 00:22:25.471
of the show, I Told You So, and the
corner is, that's, Today in, today,

00:22:25.491 --> 00:22:27.491
today on the menu is encoder decoders.

00:22:28.091 --> 00:22:28.771
I told you so.

00:22:30.211 --> 00:22:32.381
Alex Volkov: Yam- yeah I know
what you're talking about.

00:22:32.621 --> 00:22:36.701
I'm sure that there's some folks, and we
have around, like, 400 folks tuning in,

00:22:37.221 --> 00:22:38.441
that don't know what you're talking about.

00:22:38.601 --> 00:22:38.921
Okay, okay.

00:22:38.931 --> 00:22:40.561
G- g- give us, like, a brief
explainer of what you mean-

00:22:40.651 --> 00:22:41.371
by I Told You So.

00:22:41.851 --> 00:22:47.552
Yam Peleg: back in the day before
decoder, architecture like GPT-2, starting

00:22:47.772 --> 00:22:53.332
somewhere at GPT-2 got, got popular,
then three, then ChatGPT, they are all, a

00:22:53.472 --> 00:22:55.832
single model that predicts the next token.

00:22:55.912 --> 00:22:57.581
pre- a pretty known thing today.

00:22:58.092 --> 00:23:02.492
But before that, there was, i- actu-
actually the start of transformers,

00:23:03.142 --> 00:23:06.422
But before, before, before the
decoder models, the reason they

00:23:06.422 --> 00:23:10.182
are called this way is because
there were encoder-decoder models.

00:23:10.512 --> 00:23:14.732
to anyone listening and not sure what
I'm talking about, imagine two models.

00:23:15.002 --> 00:23:18.452
One of them doesn't see only the
previous tokens, it sees everything

00:23:18.452 --> 00:23:22.462
at the same time, and the other
predicts the next token based on

00:23:22.602 --> 00:23:24.972
the previous tokens and the…

00:23:25.212 --> 00:23:30.812
Over time, decoder models just got
really, got extremely efficient,

00:23:31.062 --> 00:23:34.972
both in training and in inference
because it's a singular architecture.

00:23:34.972 --> 00:23:39.522
We got really good at, serving it and
running it at scale, so we just scaled

00:23:39.522 --> 00:23:42.682
up one part of this and rolled…

00:23:42.692 --> 00:23:44.602
and, and we got everything we have today.

00:23:45.142 --> 00:23:49.262
However, the architecture itself
of encoder-decoder is, has a very

00:23:49.262 --> 00:23:54.612
interesting prior to it that you treat
differently different parts of the input.

00:23:54.912 --> 00:23:59.362
Like, for example, for, for chat, you
can think about this as, the part of,

00:23:59.392 --> 00:24:04.978
the user prompt is, is a different
concept than the actual next token

00:24:04.978 --> 00:24:06.598
prediction of the model itself.

00:24:06.598 --> 00:24:07.918
It's a completely different concept.

00:24:08.178 --> 00:24:13.328
So treating them differently with the
different parts of the, the weights

00:24:13.448 --> 00:24:16.278
that you have is … makes sense.

00:24:16.488 --> 00:24:20.088
So but it, but it's not, it's not
an, a, a … Oh, look, I told you

00:24:20.088 --> 00:24:22.398
so, but I didn't have the details.

00:24:22.418 --> 00:24:26.188
I mean, there is an incredible, effort of
engineering- Wait, so, so lend this for me

00:24:26.198 --> 00:24:28.788
go that went and- Did DeepSeek,
did DeepSeek go back to

00:24:28.828 --> 00:24:29.558
Alex Volkov: encoder-decoder

00:24:29.608 --> 00:24:33.688
Yam Peleg: Look, D- DeepSeek is, using
encoder-decoder architecture, but with a

00:24:33.698 --> 00:24:41.688
lot of, of, b- battle-tested experiment,
experiment-driven, architecture decisions

00:24:41.698 --> 00:24:46.718
that make it actually feasible at this
scale and with this performance, okay?

00:24:46.718 --> 00:24:50.058
It's not, it's not a vanilla
encoder-decoder from before.

00:24:50.098 --> 00:24:52.238
I, I told you so, but I
didn't have the details.

00:24:52.238 --> 00:24:53.878
I'm not taking anyone, anyone's credit.

00:24:53.878 --> 00:24:55.258
DeepSeek did an amazing work here.

00:24:55.258 --> 00:24:59.158
Alex Volkov: I, I think you, you mentioned
this in passing, the before times when

00:24:59.158 --> 00:25:01.058
folks were running encoder-decoder- Mm-hmm

00:25:01.058 --> 00:25:04.898
the, the scale of those models were in
the billions or maybe- Mm-hmm … you

00:25:04.898 --> 00:25:06.348
know, less than 100 billion parameters.

00:25:06.348 --> 00:25:09.218
DeepSeek is scaling this to half
a trillion and- Absolutely … at

00:25:09.218 --> 00:25:10.738
scale as well with the amount of…

00:25:10.738 --> 00:25:15.268
I, I actually know how many tokens, but
it looks like, trained from scratch on 45

00:25:15.658 --> 00:25:17.668
trillion multimodal tokens, this model.

00:25:17.668 --> 00:25:18.588
Yam Peleg: I just want to say-

00:25:18.688 --> 00:25:18.878
Alex Volkov: Yeah

00:25:18.878 --> 00:25:22.948
… 
Yam Peleg: that they are, saying
it, I think, in the most blatant way

00:25:22.948 --> 00:25:25.108
that we've seen any lab saying it.

00:25:25.628 --> 00:25:27.638
everything is nice, but it's data.

00:25:27.818 --> 00:25:29.048
It's all in the data.

00:25:29.058 --> 00:25:29.098
Yeah.

00:25:29.098 --> 00:25:32.618
They are really, really
stressing this pretty hard.

00:25:32.818 --> 00:25:36.928
wi- with no question in the paper,
getting better data and manipulating

00:25:36.938 --> 00:25:44.508
the data in clever ways just has
unevenly, lar- unevenly large impact

00:25:44.528 --> 00:25:49.588
on the actual result way more than any
engineering, trick you can come up with.

00:25:49.918 --> 00:25:52.328
It's the data and, It's the data
and- … makes a lot of sense.

00:25:52.338 --> 00:25:55.928
Alex Volkov: Chris, you train models,
you release models for NVIDIA.

00:25:56.238 --> 00:26:02.278
just give us a little sense of w- what
does 45 trillion f- tokens of data mean?

00:26:02.378 --> 00:26:04.178
how, whatever you measure, data in.

00:26:04.288 --> 00:26:07.898
45 trillion multimodal, which
i- that to me sounds insane.

00:26:08.548 --> 00:26:08.908
Chris Alexiuk: Yeah,

00:26:08.908 --> 00:26:10.498
Alex Volkov: I mean- Is that on
the level of, like, frontier labs

00:26:10.498 --> 00:26:11.598
or what are we talking about here?

00:26:12.048 --> 00:26:14.558
Chris Alexiuk: 45 trillion is
not a small amount of data.

00:26:14.848 --> 00:26:19.978
I think more importantly though is
that they … Th- this isn't, like, 45

00:26:20.008 --> 00:26:26.658
trillion tokens of, like, chaff, which
you can kind of get super easily, right?

00:26:26.658 --> 00:26:28.238
So you can just find that data, right?

00:26:28.378 --> 00:26:30.108
Like it's not, it's not, it's not tough.

00:26:30.378 --> 00:26:34.838
But they, their dedication to like
cleaning the data, and the way they

00:26:34.838 --> 00:26:39.118
cleaned the data, and the resources that
it appears from the technical report

00:26:39.148 --> 00:26:44.088
they spent on cleaning the data, I think
means that that 45 trillion is like v-

00:26:44.308 --> 00:26:46.798
a very good pile of da- of data, right?

00:26:47.058 --> 00:26:51.958
they, they, they in, in for pre-train
they went well beyond the, the norm

00:26:52.048 --> 00:26:53.778
for how they approached cleaning.

00:26:54.138 --> 00:26:59.688
but, it- even those pipelines
I think are less thorough than

00:26:59.728 --> 00:27:01.928
this DeepSeek, cleaning effort.

00:27:02.288 --> 00:27:04.518
Hey, fr- fr- from what we see
from the technical report, right?

00:27:04.538 --> 00:27:05.458
Like from what, what they're…

00:27:05.458 --> 00:27:09.248
If, if we take them at their word, which
usually with Whale you, you, you can,

00:27:09.448 --> 00:27:12.468
I don't know if they're gonna release
the pipeline explicitly, but typically

00:27:12.468 --> 00:27:14.428
they- Mm-hmm … they're, they're
pretty open with what they're doing.

00:27:14.878 --> 00:27:15.368
but that's the idea.

00:27:15.368 --> 00:27:18.328
It's like 45 trillion tokens
of like great data, right?

00:27:18.578 --> 00:27:24.198
And I think that's how you get to this
kind of model that has the, the, the

00:27:24.198 --> 00:27:28.358
performance as in like accuracy, as in
bar charts, as compared to other models.

00:27:28.718 --> 00:27:31.448
so like 45 trillion I don't think
is like huge amount of data.

00:27:31.518 --> 00:27:33.468
But it is, it is a good size.

00:27:33.818 --> 00:27:37.888
And if it's as clean as they
say, that is a, I, I think, Yam

00:27:37.888 --> 00:27:39.648
already said this, historic, right?

00:27:39.648 --> 00:27:39.658
Yeah.

00:27:39.658 --> 00:27:44.378
Like it's a, especially in this, this
kind of space where, again, like the

00:27:44.448 --> 00:27:46.448
Whale has never really been data pilled.

00:27:46.478 --> 00:27:52.130
Like this is the, this is their first
model where they're like- No, I, I

00:27:52.130 --> 00:27:55.160
ca- I can't remember if you quoted
it exactly, but just to be sure, you

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:56.290
can quote exactly from the paper.

00:27:56.290 --> 00:28:00.640
Like, no algorithmic, y- work, like,
could match the data work that they did.

00:28:00.910 --> 00:28:05.740
A- any, any novelty or innovation in the
algorithm, like, would have had a smaller

00:28:05.750 --> 00:28:07.420
impact on the final quality of the model.

00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:11.070
So this is, like, the most data-pilled
Whale model we've ever seen.

00:28:11.380 --> 00:28:14.750
and I, I think when people use
it, they're, they're gonna feel

00:28:14.750 --> 00:28:16.350
as though that's true, right?

00:28:16.350 --> 00:28:20.280
Like, And, and something else that
was touched on, just to make sure,

00:28:20.280 --> 00:28:24.610
like, it, it's really felt by anyone
who's watching is Whale doesn't

00:28:24.890 --> 00:28:28.330
release tons of models all the time
that are, like, super bangers, but

00:28:28.330 --> 00:28:31.860
they do just keep, like, shitting
out these models that are fantastic.

00:28:32.260 --> 00:28:36.010
And, like, they're really good at
not producing deep-fried models.

00:28:36.020 --> 00:28:39.670
So when you use, like, DeepSeek, I
think you don't feel as though it's as

00:28:39.670 --> 00:28:43.430
benchmaxed as some of the other, models,
and, that does mean that, like, they

00:28:43.430 --> 00:28:45.340
show up less impressively on bar charts.

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:49.690
But I think for, for quote-unquote real
work, whatever you wanna call that,

00:28:49.710 --> 00:28:53.350
like out-of-distribution, y- you know,
tasks, I think, this is where Whale i-

00:28:53.670 --> 00:28:55.780
is gonna continue to do a great job.

00:28:56.250 --> 00:28:59.660
Alex Volkov: Speaking of using it,
a friend of the pod, Aron Batino,

00:28:59.670 --> 00:29:05.716
built Token Juice, where he basically
gives you this offer Hey, you give

00:29:05.716 --> 00:29:09.316
me all your data, which is, you give
me all the transactions, whatever,

00:29:09.316 --> 00:29:10.636
we store everything to train on.

00:29:10.946 --> 00:29:13.776
I give you free, very fast,
performance of DeepSeek.

00:29:13.796 --> 00:29:14.886
It's called TokenJuice.ai.

00:29:15.756 --> 00:29:21.216
I think it's a very fair, very fair
offer because most other people…

00:29:21.376 --> 00:29:25.256
Actually, the contributor tier on
Meta Muse Spark is exactly that.

00:29:25.286 --> 00:29:26.606
You get it for very cheap.

00:29:26.866 --> 00:29:28.706
this one is even better
'cause you get it for free.

00:29:28.866 --> 00:29:33.416
so if you want to get some free, and you
want to contribute your data back, if

00:29:33.416 --> 00:29:37.566
you want to get some free DeepSeek V-
for Qwen-V1 Flash, go to TokenJuice.ai.

00:29:37.616 --> 00:29:38.626
This is not sponsored.

00:29:38.716 --> 00:29:41.936
I saw Aaron post this, By the way,
this is his private endeavor, not

00:29:41.946 --> 00:29:44.736
correlated, but Aaron works on
the CoreWeave inference as well.

00:29:44.896 --> 00:29:46.296
This is something he's
playing with on the side.

00:29:46.296 --> 00:29:46.916
Shout out, Aaron.

00:29:47.086 --> 00:29:48.606
and, I saw it on my timeline.

00:29:48.606 --> 00:29:49.316
Nobody reacted.

00:29:49.326 --> 00:29:51.226
Like, n- nobody wants free DeepSeek?

00:29:51.256 --> 00:29:51.966
I don't understand.

00:29:52.166 --> 00:29:54.186
So shout out to TokenJuice, .ai.

00:29:54.196 --> 00:29:55.096
give it a try.

00:29:55.276 --> 00:29:58.086
but also, I do want to talk about
DeepSeek a little bit more in

00:29:58.086 --> 00:29:59.976
terms of the scores we're getting.

00:29:59.976 --> 00:30:04.146
Folks, we're getting some scores and,
when I say some scores, I mean, a

00:30:04.146 --> 00:30:05.576
lot of it is kind of mind-blowing.

00:30:05.576 --> 00:30:07.066
Yam, talk to me about this.

00:30:07.116 --> 00:30:09.866
folks, Terminal bench-
Yeah Terminal bench, 2.1

00:30:09.866 --> 00:30:12.106
score, 90.6.

00:30:12.166 --> 00:30:14.256
This model beats Opus5

00:30:17.436 --> 00:30:17.566
Yam Peleg: and GPT 5.6o.

00:30:17.566 --> 00:30:18.556
But, y- you need to see it on a table.

00:30:18.826 --> 00:30:19.842
Alex Volkov: in comparison- I
have a table to show you Hold on.

00:30:19.842 --> 00:30:22.132
Hold on It's insane I have, I have
a table to show you, a completely

00:30:22.132 --> 00:30:25.072
different table from somebody called
Open Design- All right … that this

00:30:25.082 --> 00:30:30.322
model is also designing at second
level, beating Fable, just behind Astra.

00:30:30.412 --> 00:30:32.822
Speaker 4: But if you first can
take a look at this, like, l-

00:30:32.822 --> 00:30:36.712
very blurry line here, you can
see that it designs it for…

00:30:36.762 --> 00:30:37.872
It's two cents.

00:30:38.722 --> 00:30:38.972
Jesus.

00:30:38.972 --> 00:30:43.072
The same design tasks on this model
that beat Astra, sorry, like come

00:30:43.072 --> 00:30:44.622
very close to Astra, beat Fable.

00:30:44.882 --> 00:30:47.112
Fable is at $3.50.

00:30:47.112 --> 00:30:48.702
Astra is at, 1.6.

00:30:48.712 --> 00:30:50.912
Speaking of, by the way, Astra
is way more token efficient

00:30:50.912 --> 00:30:52.272
than Fable at those results.

00:30:52.482 --> 00:30:55.242
DeepSeek is number two with two cents.

00:30:55.952 --> 00:30:59.522
Not, not, not 20 cents, not $2, two cents.

00:31:00.102 --> 00:31:01.242
It's crazy.

00:31:02.102 --> 00:31:03.242
Yam Peleg: And it's actually good.

00:31:03.422 --> 00:31:05.662
Like, seriously, I just
want to tell anyone, anyone

00:31:05.662 --> 00:31:06.752
listening that's not been…

00:31:06.822 --> 00:31:09.042
I tested it a lot today.

00:31:09.302 --> 00:31:10.382
That thing is really good.

00:31:10.662 --> 00:31:14.542
Seriously, for real work, go, go try it.

00:31:14.542 --> 00:31:15.912
It's literally free.

00:31:15.942 --> 00:31:18.402
You just got an option to try it for free.

00:31:18.432 --> 00:31:18.692
Yeah.

00:31:18.692 --> 00:31:19.982
for literally free if you want.

00:31:19.982 --> 00:31:20.122
Yes.

00:31:20.122 --> 00:31:20.392
Okay?

00:31:20.412 --> 00:31:21.872
Like, seriously, go, go try it.

00:31:21.872 --> 00:31:22.432
It's a really good model.

00:31:22.432 --> 00:31:22.502
But-

00:31:22.502 --> 00:31:26.032
Alex Volkov: I am also pretty sure
that the, the DeepSeek that Token Juice

00:31:26.032 --> 00:31:28.102
hosts is, is hosted on the US server.

00:31:28.102 --> 00:31:31.892
So if you ha- do have a concerns about,
you know, Chinese inference, US inference,

00:31:31.932 --> 00:31:34.432
that one is, is based on, the US server.

00:31:34.432 --> 00:31:35.722
So definitely give it a try.

00:31:35.722 --> 00:31:39.382
We'll definitely try to bring it
to CoreWeave Inference very soon.

00:31:39.382 --> 00:31:41.592
But also, let's look at some other charts.

00:31:42.562 --> 00:31:42.582
Yeah.

00:31:42.972 --> 00:31:43.652
Bo- bottom line?

00:31:44.452 --> 00:31:44.682
Yam Peleg: I want to

00:31:44.682 --> 00:31:44.702
Alex Volkov: Bottom line?

00:31:44.702 --> 00:31:45.139
Hold on, one second.

00:31:45.139 --> 00:31:45.342
Yeah, yeah, just

00:31:45.342 --> 00:31:45.672
Yam Peleg: saying.

00:31:45.722 --> 00:31:46.412
Go on, go

00:31:46.412 --> 00:31:46.742
Alex Volkov: Th- this…

00:31:46.772 --> 00:31:48.682
Yam, te- tell me about th- this is insane.

00:31:48.702 --> 00:31:50.992
I, I want both of you, Chris,
Yam, and Nisten, if you

00:31:50.992 --> 00:31:52.102
wanna chime in here as well.

00:31:52.412 --> 00:31:57.912
The KV cache compression, hero journey
that DeepSeek is on is just on another

00:31:57.912 --> 00:32:01.204
level It's, it's j- just, I want

00:32:02.534 --> 00:32:06.944
Yam Peleg: That's direct,
directly influencing how expensive

00:32:07.044 --> 00:32:08.904
it is when you pay for it.

00:32:09.164 --> 00:32:13.754
That thing directly reduced the price
of actually serving it to people.

00:32:14.424 --> 00:32:16.354
That, it, it is that simple.

00:32:16.374 --> 00:32:19.924
This is why they are working so
hard, and yeah, it's, it's…

00:32:20.704 --> 00:32:25.274
I'm sure the, the big labs have, have
their own tricks and so on, but that's

00:32:25.374 --> 00:32:26.904
something we just see in public.

00:32:27.124 --> 00:32:28.244
Alex Volkov: Chris, I want to ask you-

00:32:28.274 --> 00:32:28.474
Yam Peleg: in public,

00:32:28.484 --> 00:32:28.504
Alex Volkov: yeah

00:32:28.654 --> 00:32:31.314
almost directly, and maybe Nisten,
you want to chime in here as well.

00:32:31.974 --> 00:32:34.534
we're seeing a chart here,
so we're also podcast folks.

00:32:34.534 --> 00:32:35.914
I'm not seeing this,
I'm gonna read this out.

00:32:35.924 --> 00:32:39.104
We're seeing a chart that says, I believe
that this is from their blog, saying,

00:32:39.114 --> 00:32:44.424
"Less cash, more cost effective," where
we see DeepSeek V1 from 2023, November

00:32:44.424 --> 00:32:46.424
of 2023, so that's three years ago.

00:32:46.644 --> 00:32:50.154
I believe that we also, already
talked about DeepSeek back then.

00:32:50.434 --> 00:32:55.214
and then DeepSeek V3 from November of,
December of '25, so like two years.

00:32:55.404 --> 00:33:00.944
In two years they, they,
reduced the, the KV cache per

00:33:00.944 --> 00:33:06.484
token, from 389,000 to 48,000.

00:33:06.494 --> 00:33:09.144
Chris, what does this mean,
KV cache per token in bytes?

00:33:09.144 --> 00:33:11.374
Like, is that how much
memory you store per byte?

00:33:11.454 --> 00:33:14.524
can you, like, very simply explain
to folks- Yeah … what this means?

00:33:14.884 --> 00:33:18.354
Chris Alexiuk: Basically, the idea
is that whenever we're doing this

00:33:18.374 --> 00:33:21.734
decode process, right, which is where
we actually shit out the next token.

00:33:21.864 --> 00:33:24.764
So we have all the context,
and then we're, now we're, now

00:33:25.144 --> 00:33:26.704
our job is just make tokens.

00:33:27.104 --> 00:33:30.844
a lot of the math that you wind up
doing is actually reusable, right?

00:33:31.074 --> 00:33:38.204
if you store the previous, set of,
s- set of results from math in cache,

00:33:38.224 --> 00:33:40.914
that's the key value cache or KV cache.

00:33:41.254 --> 00:33:45.604
So the idea is that this cache is
what lets us decode quickly, and

00:33:45.634 --> 00:33:50.174
because we can do it with less net
computation, it means we're, we're

00:33:50.194 --> 00:33:52.304
basically gonna pay less for it.

00:33:52.834 --> 00:33:57.770
when you're using agents, like,
the number- I, I don't know.

00:33:57.790 --> 00:33:59.340
I'm, I'm not gonna say
number one thing, okay?

00:33:59.340 --> 00:34:02.310
But, like, the number two thing, let's
say, that's driving cost is gonna

00:34:02.310 --> 00:34:04.770
be, like, cache hits or cache misses.

00:34:05.120 --> 00:34:07.890
And this is, do we remember
what, the work that we've already

00:34:07.890 --> 00:34:09.440
done, and can we exploit it?

00:34:10.060 --> 00:34:14.020
When you make KV cache, really compressed,
we have teams that work on this at,

00:34:14.020 --> 00:34:17.360
at Team Green with stuff like KV Press
and a bunch of other techniques, right?

00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:21.040
Like, this is, this is something that the
whole industry, is, is trying to do well.

00:34:21.040 --> 00:34:25.890
but the, the idea is, like, we wanna,
we wanna make it as cheap as possible

00:34:25.890 --> 00:34:31.470
to keep as much as we can in cache,
and reduce the number of cache misses,

00:34:31.820 --> 00:34:33.320
and increase the number of cache hits.

00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:35.800
the more we can rely on
that cache, the better.

00:34:35.820 --> 00:34:40.600
And making it small, or compressed in
this case, is, effectively just letting

00:34:40.600 --> 00:34:42.620
us exploit it even harder, right?

00:34:42.620 --> 00:34:46.940
Like, again, If you really wanted to, we
would just cache everything- and always

00:34:46.950 --> 00:34:48.800
pull everything from cache all the time.

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:51.900
It's just like that's not feasible, that's
not like how it would work in reality.

00:34:51.900 --> 00:34:58.280
And so, this is a method to, get the
cache as small as we can per token so

00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:00.510
that we can use as much of it, right?

00:35:00.510 --> 00:35:03.500
We have more headroom that
we can fill with cache.

00:35:04.120 --> 00:35:05.430
Alex Volkov: yeah S- so now that
we have like a basic understanding

00:35:05.430 --> 00:35:06.610
what KV cache does- Mm-hmm

00:35:06.610 --> 00:35:07.670
let's go back to the numbers.

00:35:07.670 --> 00:35:13.140
From 2023 in November, at 389,000 bytes-

00:35:13.230 --> 00:35:13.560
Chris Alexiuk: Mm-hmm

00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:18.630
… 
Alex Volkov: per token, of cache
per token, we're now at 890 bytes.

00:35:18.630 --> 00:35:18.820
Think

00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:19.530
Chris Alexiuk: about it this way, right?

00:35:19.580 --> 00:35:19.710
Alex Volkov: Yeah

00:35:19.940 --> 00:35:22.920
… 
Chris Alexiuk: if you have tons
of tokens, each of those tokens is

00:35:23.060 --> 00:35:25.070
taking up space on your GPU, right?

00:35:25.070 --> 00:35:26.310
Cache related to the token.

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:30.120
the more we can fit in, the more
memory we have left over, the more

00:35:30.120 --> 00:35:33.260
stuff we can shove in there before
it's full, and that means the less

00:35:33.260 --> 00:35:35.500
stuff we have to eject early, right?

00:35:35.750 --> 00:35:38.780
And if we're ejecting less
or we're, or we're dropping

00:35:38.780 --> 00:35:40.270
less, then we're hitting more.

00:35:40.580 --> 00:35:44.490
there's there's a lot of engineering that
has to happen that's being obscured by

00:35:44.490 --> 00:35:46.050
the way we're, we're talking about this.

00:35:46.050 --> 00:35:51.650
But the basic idea is like we're
able to more efficiently use the

00:35:51.650 --> 00:35:55.690
headroom that we keep in our GPUs,
or accelerators for KV cache.

00:35:55.690 --> 00:35:55.883
Nisten, go ahead.

00:35:55.883 --> 00:35:56.012
Alex Volkov: Don't, tell

00:35:56.012 --> 00:35:59.712
Nisten Tahiraj: Guys, those
numbers there, those are multiples.

00:35:59.722 --> 00:36:07.242
So I did, y- y- you multiply, 8 times
13 times 9, that's 439 times less cache

00:36:07.302 --> 00:36:08.932
than the first model they released.

00:36:09.672 --> 00:36:13.872
That is insane, because we're
just taking this for granted and

00:36:13.872 --> 00:36:15.502
just shoving more interest in it.

00:36:15.922 --> 00:36:19.772
And there's also, yeah, w- when
you run inference at scale-

00:36:19.982 --> 00:36:21.902
Alex Volkov: Is that two and a half
orders of magnitude smaller, right?

00:36:21.952 --> 00:36:25.922
Nisten Tahiraj: So, so when you run
this at scale and you have multiple

00:36:25.922 --> 00:36:30.952
queries, those ones all go in the chip
at the same time, so that also takes

00:36:30.952 --> 00:36:34.432
advantage of the on-chip c- cache.

00:36:35.250 --> 00:36:39.040
S- so it, it, it ends up being orders
of, of magnitude more improvements.

00:36:39.040 --> 00:36:43.150
And, and that's also why people can
serve DeepSeek for, for so cheap now.

00:36:43.150 --> 00:36:43.360
Yeah.

00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.940
It's just amazing to me that we just
take all of this for granted now.

00:36:47.190 --> 00:36:50.220
It's like, yeah, we reduced the
memory requirements by 400 times,

00:36:50.560 --> 00:36:51.950
and, Bro … we still need more of it.

00:36:52.740 --> 00:36:53.140
There's just

00:36:53.140 --> 00:36:53.750
Yam Peleg: Bro, bro.

00:36:53.750 --> 00:36:53.850
Yeah.

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:57.360
Who is taking it for granted when you
get a model- No way … nearly for free?

00:36:57.570 --> 00:36:58.610
We're going to celebrate this.

00:36:58.610 --> 00:36:59.320
That's, that's the enabler.

00:36:59.490 --> 00:37:00.400
Absolutely.

00:37:00.490 --> 00:37:02.890
Wolfram Ravenwolf: I mean, it
appears in a list of all these great

00:37:02.950 --> 00:37:05.590
releases, GLM and Kimi and so on.

00:37:05.690 --> 00:37:07.290
It's 4.1

00:37:07.290 --> 00:37:13.530
Flash, which sounds so ah, but that
is a, a real jump in, in the data,

00:37:13.680 --> 00:37:17.320
in the architecture with the encoder
decoder, Absolutely … with the cache,

00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:19.230
with the pricing and the intelligence.

00:37:19.230 --> 00:37:20.956
It's up there So

00:37:21.346 --> 00:37:23.836
Yam Peleg: I've, I've- Bro, this is the-
Wow, blown away … this is the thing.

00:37:23.836 --> 00:37:25.936
That thing allows you to run it at home.

00:37:25.936 --> 00:37:28.676
That thing allows it to be that cheap.

00:37:29.736 --> 00:37:31.056
I mean, that, that thing is…

00:37:31.156 --> 00:37:34.526
A- and they just put it out in the
open, like the actual moat- Wow … that

00:37:34.716 --> 00:37:36.236
they don't even need to release.

00:37:36.276 --> 00:37:36.846
Like, think about it.

00:37:36.886 --> 00:37:39.646
They can release the weight, tell
you exactly how they trained it.

00:37:40.346 --> 00:37:45.466
That's not- By the way- That's not, like,
i- that's, that's the inference kind of…

00:37:45.476 --> 00:37:48.336
Yeah, I mean, yeah, there, there
is, there's part of it for, for

00:37:48.336 --> 00:37:52.246
the training as well, but, like,
that's, that's not mandatory.

00:37:52.246 --> 00:37:54.990
That's just goodwill, giving us
presents for, for free- For free, man.

00:37:54.990 --> 00:37:55.539
That, that's amazing … do you have

00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:55.904
Alex Volkov: something, to thank you-

00:37:55.904 --> 00:37:57.674
Wolfram Ravenwolf: And MIT license

00:37:57.904 --> 00:37:58.714
Alex Volkov: And MIT license.

00:37:58.834 --> 00:37:59.144
Let's go.

00:37:59.904 --> 00:38:00.284
Yam Peleg: Let's go.

00:38:00.284 --> 00:38:04.834
Alex Volkov: Nisten, let's do one last
segment on DeepSeek V- V4-1 Flash.

00:38:04.834 --> 00:38:07.084
Please narrate this, for
folks who are listening.

00:38:07.254 --> 00:38:09.584
Nisten Tahiraj: yeah, so I just
visualized this with Astra.

00:38:09.654 --> 00:38:10.834
It, it just finished it.

00:38:10.834 --> 00:38:11.594
It's the first time.

00:38:11.614 --> 00:38:12.954
Alex Volkov: reshare
your, v- video please?

00:38:12.954 --> 00:38:13.344
It dropped.

00:38:13.424 --> 00:38:15.844
Nisten Tahiraj: I post these on
Twitter and they're on my GitHub as

00:38:15.844 --> 00:38:18.104
well, and, people really like them.

00:38:18.104 --> 00:38:20.104
So this is the one that Astra made.

00:38:20.144 --> 00:38:23.774
So it visualized all the weights,
and this looks like it is a

00:38:23.774 --> 00:38:28.294
different architecture and, Oh,
they're also using Ngram encodings,

00:38:28.314 --> 00:38:30.724
just like, kind of like Qwen is.

00:38:30.774 --> 00:38:33.144
Alex Volkov: For folks who are listening,
Nisten is showing a very incredibly

00:38:33.164 --> 00:38:39.284
detailed 3D reconstruction of the
transformer architecture, including

00:38:39.284 --> 00:38:44.394
the encoder, decoder stuff that Yam was
talking about, and it shows how tokens

00:38:44.394 --> 00:38:45.964
are flowing, when they're flowing.

00:38:45.964 --> 00:38:47.814
It's really something to see.

00:38:48.094 --> 00:38:50.244
So if you are interested in this,
Nisten, where can they find it?

00:38:50.484 --> 00:38:52.704
Nisten Tahiraj: I will be posting
it on Twitter, and it will

00:38:52.704 --> 00:38:54.994
also be on my GitHub because I-

00:38:54.994 --> 00:38:57.224
Alex Volkov: this to the show notes
on Thursd AI News- Yeah … so

00:38:58.204 --> 00:39:01.404
Nisten Tahiraj: it's a really good
educational content because each one of

00:39:01.404 --> 00:39:06.714
these cubes here, the volume of the cube
corresponds to the actual size on disk.

00:39:06.984 --> 00:39:09.354
So this one it says, you, you
probably can't see it on the stream,

00:39:09.354 --> 00:39:11.464
but this is the output had 1.32

00:39:11.474 --> 00:39:16.084
gigs, and you, you can explore
each weight in, in, in great detail

00:39:16.234 --> 00:39:20.224
th- this way And, it's, it's a
pretty good educational content and

00:39:20.294 --> 00:39:22.204
people, people do love this stuff.

00:39:22.254 --> 00:39:26.554
so you can see like the, the weight
norms are, are very, very small because

00:39:26.594 --> 00:39:28.074
they're, that's a single linear layer.

00:39:28.454 --> 00:39:32.664
But then you have the, the draft output
head, and there's an explanation for that.

00:39:32.914 --> 00:39:38.524
Again, this is very small here for, for
the stream, but, again, I'll be, I'll…

00:39:38.724 --> 00:39:41.474
I'll be posting it there also
with all the code and stuff too.

00:39:41.544 --> 00:39:42.054
It's just a simple- We'll

00:39:42.054 --> 00:39:46.444
Alex Volkov: Folks, I think, I, I think
we've talked about DeepSeek plenty.

00:39:46.644 --> 00:39:49.684
The, the, the numbers kind of
speak for themselves as well.

00:39:49.824 --> 00:39:52.554
Terminal Bench 3.0

00:39:52.554 --> 00:39:52.724
DeepSeek V4.1

00:39:52.724 --> 00:39:54.504
Flash gets 30%.

00:39:54.824 --> 00:39:59.074
That's beating Kimi K3 and
that, it catches up to GPT 5.6

00:39:59.074 --> 00:39:59.654
Sol at, at 34%.

00:39:59.654 --> 00:40:00.664
74.2

00:40:03.560 --> 00:40:05.840
Score on Deep SWE 1.1.

00:40:05.980 --> 00:40:10.680
Deep SWE notoriously a benchmark and
eval that represents how actual coders

00:40:10.680 --> 00:40:14.670
feel, that beats both Opus 5 and GPT 5.6.

00:40:14.670 --> 00:40:18.300
So, I think that the fact
that Astra and Fable 0.11

00:40:18.310 --> 00:40:21.950
are not on these graphs makes
no difference to me at all.

00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:25.820
Like this is an open source MIT
model that catches up to the best

00:40:25.820 --> 00:40:28.810
models of, of before, and also
still the best models for some.

00:40:29.110 --> 00:40:30.450
so this is just incredible news.

00:40:30.450 --> 00:40:32.630
Automation base gains for 54%.

00:40:32.680 --> 00:40:34.500
Maybe I'll call out one last thing here.

00:40:34.850 --> 00:40:38.340
reasoning effort for this model is
a continuous controllable from one

00:40:38.350 --> 00:40:40.310
to 100, and you can control it.

00:40:40.310 --> 00:40:43.720
So like the extra max, whatever the
labs come up with, max, ultra low,

00:40:43.720 --> 00:40:46.540
whatever, you can just come up with
your own and say, "Okay, 100 is extra

00:40:46.540 --> 00:40:48.280
max for me," or extra ultra whatever.

00:40:48.500 --> 00:40:54.410
and also CyberGym for this model, the
eval that famously because of that, the

00:40:54.410 --> 00:41:00.810
swarms of OpenAI agents hack Hugging
Face CyberGym, eh, this model gets 88.1%

00:41:01.550 --> 00:41:04.280
and leads all listed models on CyberGym.

00:41:04.470 --> 00:41:07.710
that's an- another topic that we
need to discuss, but I think this

00:41:07.710 --> 00:41:09.010
is a very, very impressive release.

00:41:09.090 --> 00:41:13.400
Again, shout out to the Whale
folks, for no drama releases of

00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:14.920
just like incredible engineering.

00:41:15.330 --> 00:41:17.430
Honestly, kind of scary how good they are.

00:41:17.450 --> 00:41:18.010
so great.

00:41:18.050 --> 00:41:18.890
Chris Alexiou, thank you.

00:41:18.890 --> 00:41:20.630
I know, you have meetings, et cetera.

00:41:20.640 --> 00:41:22.630
You are welcome to stay,
but I know you have to drop.

00:41:22.630 --> 00:41:24.040
Thank you so much for joining us.

00:41:24.080 --> 00:41:28.980
Folks, please give Chris a
follow at llm_wizard on, Twitter.

00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:30.200
Chris Alexiuk: Thanks for having me, guys.

00:41:30.240 --> 00:41:30.980
Have a great day.

00:41:31.030 --> 00:41:33.330
Alex Volkov: all right, folks, I think
we've covered, open source enough.

00:41:33.370 --> 00:41:36.900
Maybe we'll mention that other
releases also hel- happened.

00:41:36.900 --> 00:41:40.300
Wolfram, I want you to briefly
talk about Desert Ant Labs.

00:41:40.340 --> 00:41:42.230
heard about this from Europe, hopefully.

00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:44.680
this is, I think, audio, vision, and text.

00:41:44.690 --> 00:41:48.910
a new lab that releases a bunch of, a
bunch of models, specifically from Europe.

00:41:48.910 --> 00:41:52.230
I think that this is, you know, a
very new lab, but, very interesting

00:41:52.250 --> 00:41:53.500
on-device models as well.

00:41:54.450 --> 00:41:57.850
spun up out of detail, and
ships 18 specialized models

00:41:57.860 --> 00:41:59.620
that run entirely on-device.

00:42:00.490 --> 00:42:05.100
Desert Ant Labs, 18 on-device
models, VOS, speech-to-text model,

00:42:05.100 --> 00:42:08.020
Redact PII detection, clips,
video highlights, and Clear.

00:42:08.260 --> 00:42:09.630
Actually, you should check it out more.

00:42:09.720 --> 00:42:13.698
the visual style is pretty cool
Wolfram, anything you wanna

00:42:13.698 --> 00:42:14.608
add about this or not, not so

00:42:14.608 --> 00:42:16.468
Wolfram Ravenwolf: Very interesting
with the feathers from, Europe.

00:42:16.468 --> 00:42:20.268
I haven't heard about them
before, so, no inside detail.

00:42:20.298 --> 00:42:21.898
My agent is already doing research.

00:42:22.698 --> 00:42:23.008
Nice.

00:42:23.018 --> 00:42:27.048
But, you know how long it takes if
you want some quality information.

00:42:27.058 --> 00:42:31.188
yeah, it's always good to see
more investment to AI from

00:42:31.238 --> 00:42:32.738
Europe, any place, actually.

00:42:33.068 --> 00:42:37.828
I think this shouldn't be just-- AI is,
for all of humanity, very important,

00:42:37.858 --> 00:42:41.838
and not everybody has realized it, but I
think it's very important that everybody

00:42:41.838 --> 00:42:47.298
is developing their own AI as well,
and not just rely on China or the USA.

00:42:48.188 --> 00:42:51.448
And there are many, many
who would argue for this.

00:42:51.928 --> 00:42:56.288
So it's super important to have something
local and, So- … small on-device models,

00:42:56.568 --> 00:42:58.208
that is something everybody can use.

00:42:58.818 --> 00:43:02.218
Alex Volkov: A bunch of, not only that,
a bunch of open weights on device models,

00:43:02.218 --> 00:43:03.708
and Native is the case to run them.

00:43:04.028 --> 00:43:07.898
And here's the shout-out, Voz, their,
audio transcription that runs on device

00:43:07.898 --> 00:43:11.788
on the iPhone transcribes 10 minutes of
speech in just two seconds on an iPhone.

00:43:12.378 --> 00:43:17.278
That's actually very, very impressive,
because it's a very small 467 million,

00:43:17.498 --> 00:43:22.818
megabyte, model compared to, like,
Whisper Large 3 V3, which is 1.6.

00:43:22.818 --> 00:43:23.678
I'm actually gonna check this out.

00:43:23.678 --> 00:43:24.118
This is dope.

00:43:24.368 --> 00:43:27.468
and, this enables a few use
cases that I am excited about.

00:43:27.798 --> 00:43:29.498
All right, so shout
out to Desert and Labs.

00:43:29.498 --> 00:43:32.218
Maybe we can bring somebody from
them to talk about this on the show.

00:43:32.378 --> 00:43:35.638
And then also inclusion
in open source is Ling 3.1

00:43:35.638 --> 00:43:36.208
Flash.

00:43:36.438 --> 00:43:39.338
Ling, we've talked about Ling
before, but I haven't seen anyone use

00:43:39.338 --> 00:43:41.638
those, just, like, not one person.

00:43:41.908 --> 00:43:46.718
but, vision language models, with
just five billion parameters and, no,

00:43:47.268 --> 00:43:48.718
no competition on the leaderboard.

00:43:48.728 --> 00:43:52.338
So, you know, just, just folks
who, who like models to work.

00:43:52.878 --> 00:43:54.248
and MIT license, which is great.

00:43:54.338 --> 00:43:56.088
Yeah, and we love and
we, we wanna highlight.

00:43:57.028 --> 00:44:01.308
All right, folks, there's a big, big,
big show because Open, you know, OpenAI

00:44:01.828 --> 00:44:05.498
announced some incredible things, so I
definitely wanna switch to Frontier Labs.

00:44:05.858 --> 00:44:06.808
let's, let's do this.

00:44:06.858 --> 00:44:13.528
All right, folks, this is maybe one
of the biggest hitting news from

00:44:13.678 --> 00:44:16.058
Frontier Labs, from AI generally.

00:44:16.418 --> 00:44:21.708
re-re-remember how two, two years ago
folks were posting a question to the

00:44:21.708 --> 00:44:23.948
LLM and saying, "Hey, what's bigger, 9.9

00:44:23.948 --> 00:44:24.958
or 9.11?"

00:44:25.168 --> 00:44:28.438
And the LLM would get confused and
people, "Ha ha, LLM cannot do math."

00:44:28.438 --> 00:44:36.478
And then, folks like, Gary what's-his-name
and, and, other, other folks who don't

00:44:36.488 --> 00:44:40.078
really think AI can go anywhere said,
"AI will never be able to solve math."

00:44:40.088 --> 00:44:45.488
OpenAI claims that there is
a solutions to Navier–Stokes

00:44:45.488 --> 00:44:48.228
Millennium Prize mathematics problem.

00:44:48.968 --> 00:44:50.498
This is a historic lane.

00:44:51.138 --> 00:44:53.028
And, LDJ, do you wanna chime in here?

00:44:53.028 --> 00:44:55.968
Usually, c- catch us up
on these type of things.

00:44:56.178 --> 00:44:59.728
Last we heard, w- we had some
breakthroughs in, in near mathematics

00:44:59.728 --> 00:45:03.658
or, or geometry stuff, but like tell us
about like the magnitude of this, from…

00:45:03.708 --> 00:45:05.958
And why is everybody going crazy about it?

00:45:07.008 --> 00:45:10.548
LDJ: So to be clear, I'm not a
mathematician and I know you're not.

00:45:10.778 --> 00:45:14.608
but, from my understanding and then
from understanding of friends of mine

00:45:14.608 --> 00:45:18.928
that are mathematicians, it's relating
to, things of the movement of fluids,

00:45:18.928 --> 00:45:24.208
fluid dynamics, and it does have
implications for basically, physics and

00:45:24.898 --> 00:45:30.888
a lot of, a lot of engineering problems
also theoretically with how, turbines

00:45:30.908 --> 00:45:35.838
and, and jet engines and those types
of things end up working, and it might

00:45:35.958 --> 00:45:38.068
b- be, how they develop in the future.

00:45:38.798 --> 00:45:45.028
And so with this, this is a
problem that OpenAI worked on.

00:45:45.288 --> 00:45:50.768
It is, has a million-dollar prize
for the past 26 years, and I believe

00:45:50.768 --> 00:45:54.798
overall, in terms of when the problem
was initially proposed, I wanna say it's

00:45:54.808 --> 00:45:57.598
at least 60, 70 years old, if not older.

00:45:58.548 --> 00:46:00.838
And yeah, nobody has solved it yet.

00:46:01.208 --> 00:46:04.828
There have been some claims of some
progress towards related problems and

00:46:05.558 --> 00:46:10.128
subproblems relating to Navier-Stokes,
but no actual full solutions, and

00:46:10.128 --> 00:46:14.138
there has been some drama over the
past week or two- Yeah And it's…

00:46:14.168 --> 00:46:19.048
There's, there, there's a lot of nuances
and a lot of drama i- involved there,

00:46:19.048 --> 00:46:21.038
which we probably can't cover all here.

00:46:21.588 --> 00:46:27.668
but long story short, this is the first
solution to ever be actually proposed

00:46:27.688 --> 00:46:29.848
for this, and it's really significant.

00:46:29.988 --> 00:46:30.198
Yeah.

00:46:30.668 --> 00:46:33.458
Alex Volkov: My, my research
says this is the level, the

00:46:33.458 --> 00:46:35.248
scope of a moon landing for AI.

00:46:35.288 --> 00:46:38.408
This is like that level of
a checkpoint in the world of

00:46:38.438 --> 00:46:40.228
mathematics, in the world of AI.

00:46:40.798 --> 00:46:43.718
it looks like famous mathematicians
also, looked at some of the

00:46:43.718 --> 00:46:45.658
stuff from OpenAI and confirmed.

00:46:45.668 --> 00:46:48.758
Now, my, my research says that this
is not yet independently verified.

00:46:48.968 --> 00:46:51.598
Clay Mathematics
Institute, review pending.

00:46:51.778 --> 00:46:53.828
it's really funny that the
Millennium Prize is what?

00:46:53.838 --> 00:46:56.868
$1 million, and hasn't been
awarded in a long time.

00:46:57.198 --> 00:47:03.428
reportedly, OpenAI spent an order
of 130 billion output tokens,

00:47:03.768 --> 00:47:05.528
which, of their unreleased model.

00:47:05.528 --> 00:47:10.820
This is not Astra And so that's in the
order of like 130 million or so spent.

00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:13.020
we don't know yet 'cause they
didn't price the new model.

00:47:13.020 --> 00:47:19.370
But, you know, OpenAI spent millions of
dollars, with 10,000 coordinating agents.

00:47:19.370 --> 00:47:23.000
Folks, this is like, this is way bigger
than the swarm of the Hug- Hugging Face.

00:47:23.290 --> 00:47:27.580
powered by unreleased model beyond
GPT-6 Astra, w- and produced a

00:47:27.620 --> 00:47:29.600
lean proof, lean mathematics proof

00:47:29.660 --> 00:47:32.770
Yam Peleg: Brother, brother,
that's not the right vibe.

00:47:32.770 --> 00:47:36.720
Like- right vibe for this
is like, "GPT-6 destroys a

00:47:36.720 --> 00:47:39.990
millennial pro- uh, a millennium
problem-" "… of the Clay Institute.

00:47:40.140 --> 00:47:41.050
What the fuck?

00:47:41.490 --> 00:47:41.660
When?"

00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:46.380
Look, I don't know, I don't know
what you think, guys, but the, the,

00:47:46.520 --> 00:47:51.660
the millennium problems are, w- they
started as, as a, as a bunch of them.

00:47:52.020 --> 00:47:58.050
and a- after I think, I think 70 years,
like, like you said, we are left with only

00:47:58.090 --> 00:48:04.290
a bunch of, a bunch of them, like seven
or six, that people have been constantly

00:48:04.300 --> 00:48:09.710
trying to solve and that, like, there are
pages, online shaming the failed attempts

00:48:09.710 --> 00:48:13.450
of the paper, like putting the actual wall
of shame, all, all the failed attempts,

00:48:13.450 --> 00:48:16.720
all the papers that have re- retracted
for each and every single one of them.

00:48:17.220 --> 00:48:22.040
I, I've been waiting my entire life to
read this, that Navier-Stokes is solved.

00:48:22.430 --> 00:48:25.340
The thing is, that thing
describes everything.

00:48:25.680 --> 00:48:29.820
Like, you can describe, nearly
everything in physics with, some sort

00:48:29.820 --> 00:48:35.260
of a partial differential equation
that, It's a very general framework.

00:48:35.310 --> 00:48:41.390
the problem is that we don't really
know about all the solutions of it.

00:48:41.490 --> 00:48:45.580
I don't wanna go too technical, but,
like, for each of these, millennial

00:48:45.620 --> 00:48:49.060
problems, every single one of them
is extremely famous in its field.

00:48:49.070 --> 00:48:54.440
Like there, where there is, P versus NP,
Navier-Stokes and, Poincaré, conjecture.

00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:57.620
And, there are a handful of very
famous problems that are extremely

00:48:57.620 --> 00:49:00.120
fundamental to their own fields.

00:49:00.540 --> 00:49:04.170
and people have been trying to solve
them, to brute force them to, They

00:49:04.170 --> 00:49:09.780
are insane and, it's a historic event
when one of them gets solved because

00:49:10.060 --> 00:49:11.980
there are only a handful of them.

00:49:11.980 --> 00:49:13.370
It's not even about the price.

00:49:13.370 --> 00:49:15.090
Yeah, of course, they burned more money-

00:49:15.530 --> 00:49:15.650
Alex Volkov: Yeah

00:49:15.700 --> 00:49:15.790
Yam Peleg: Yeah.

00:49:15.790 --> 00:49:17.750
Yeah, that's, that's
not, that's not about it.

00:49:18.270 --> 00:49:20.700
And it's not even about using the, the…

00:49:21.060 --> 00:49:22.330
What it-- How, how is it called?

00:49:22.510 --> 00:49:23.570
unreleased model.

00:49:23.570 --> 00:49:27.040
Like they, they had a nice name and
I was like, "Can I, can I try this

00:49:27.040 --> 00:49:31.200
and, and like let it, I don't know,
write, write me an email or something?"

00:49:31.200 --> 00:49:36.000
Why waste the tokens of, of this one to
do very mundane, stupid things because,

00:49:36.610 --> 00:49:38.460
man, I, I wanna, I wanna play with it.

00:49:38.510 --> 00:49:42.446
The thing is that okay,
that's, that's the excitement.

00:49:42.446 --> 00:49:44.526
I just, I just wanna put
things into perspective.

00:49:45.426 --> 00:49:51.036
We've already seen GPT- thr- GPT-6
destroying, very famous problems.

00:49:51.466 --> 00:49:57.076
Y- you need to find an example
in this specific problem.

00:49:57.076 --> 00:50:01.376
Also in the other, famous,
problem, they found an example.

00:50:01.386 --> 00:50:06.666
So LLMs … Okay, look, if you run , if
you run, I don't know, 10,000, 100,000

00:50:06.746 --> 00:50:11.986
of, instances of GPT-6, one of them
is going to stumble upon maybe the

00:50:11.986 --> 00:50:14.996
solution because they are gener-
generally in the right direction.

00:50:15.026 --> 00:50:20.046
I'm not, I'm not taking away from
this, but the most insane thing

00:50:20.156 --> 00:50:24.986
about this is that it's very hard
to argue against a lean proof.

00:50:25.426 --> 00:50:29.576
And first, the first stage,
yeah, that's monumental.

00:50:29.626 --> 00:50:30.356
absolutely.

00:50:31.376 --> 00:50:34.476
But they, they, they didn't
wanna take chances, so they

00:50:34.476 --> 00:50:37.006
even went proving it with lean.

00:50:37.836 --> 00:50:40.736
It's, it's as, as
bulletproof as you can get.

00:50:40.756 --> 00:50:45.416
Alex Volkov: verification took
17 hours, ad- additional, like

00:50:45.416 --> 00:50:48.846
additional 17 hours with Astro to
just, like, do lean verification.

00:50:49.116 --> 00:50:49.356
Yam Peleg: all right.

00:50:49.356 --> 00:50:53.206
Astro, Astro, if you listen, I, I wanna
apply as a subagent on this project.

00:50:53.206 --> 00:50:53.426
Come on, man.

00:50:53.456 --> 00:50:53.476
Yeah.

00:50:53.486 --> 00:50:55.846
Like, how do you, how do you even

00:50:55.906 --> 00:50:56.426
Alex Volkov: Yeah, I
appreciate the excitement.

00:50:56.426 --> 00:50:56.946
Mad respect.

00:50:56.996 --> 00:51:00.666
I think there's more, you know,
there's more, prizes for them to solve.

00:51:00.786 --> 00:51:05.096
It looks like both OpenAI and, and
Anthropic are now at the level of, "Hey,

00:51:05.156 --> 00:51:10.086
we can use these agents, plus use this
swarmy thing to start, like, breaking down

00:51:10.086 --> 00:51:14.686
fundamental problems that the humanity
has been dealing with," which nobody

00:51:14.726 --> 00:51:16.656
as humans was able to solve before.

00:51:17.086 --> 00:51:18.696
some folks are naysayers.

00:51:18.746 --> 00:51:21.516
We have some folks in the comments
as well saying that, "Hey, matip-

00:51:21.516 --> 00:51:24.026
ma- mathematicians, friends
of mine don't agree to this."

00:51:24.046 --> 00:51:28.336
Well, fucking post your lean proof
then, if you sh- if you, if you

00:51:28.356 --> 00:51:29.716
don't think that this is true.

00:51:29.886 --> 00:51:30.536
but we'll see.

00:51:30.566 --> 00:51:30.936
We'll see.

00:51:30.936 --> 00:51:33.946
Maybe folks will come back and
say, "Hey," you know, "OpenAI,

00:51:33.976 --> 00:51:34.556
like, missed something."

00:51:34.576 --> 00:51:39.256
However, worth saying that folks who
work at OpenAI who shepherd these models.

00:51:39.606 --> 00:51:41.146
They are also mathematicians.

00:51:41.396 --> 00:51:44.426
Sebastian Rachka, I believe
is, is the person there.

00:51:44.446 --> 00:51:46.806
And, the drama, let's mention
the drama a little bit.

00:51:46.806 --> 00:51:48.226
There was drama about this.

00:51:48.516 --> 00:51:51.826
Apparently, two human mathematicians,
one of them works in Anthropic,

00:51:52.116 --> 00:51:57.816
Levent, were about to go public with
this news on their own, separate from

00:51:57.816 --> 00:51:59.506
the unreleased model from OpenAI.

00:52:00.526 --> 00:52:04.876
I'm dealing with very rumored posts
on, on, on Twitter and Reddit here.

00:52:05.146 --> 00:52:09.286
OpenAI caught wind of this, that they're
about to go, and OpenAI had an independent

00:52:09.326 --> 00:52:11.796
effort to, to go and try to solve this.

00:52:12.226 --> 00:52:15.386
Either that or OpenAI got excited
and decided to start solving this

00:52:15.396 --> 00:52:16.766
when they heard that it's possible.

00:52:17.706 --> 00:52:21.806
And so the mathematician, independent
one, that worked with his friend, who

00:52:21.816 --> 00:52:26.166
in his personal capacity, but works in
Anthropic, provided him access to Mythos

00:52:26.166 --> 00:52:27.656
2 or whatever unreleased model for Mythos.

00:52:28.066 --> 00:52:30.046
They were able to solve this in one way.

00:52:30.046 --> 00:52:32.296
Apparently, there's multiple
ways to attack this problem.

00:52:33.236 --> 00:52:37.446
so OpenAI caught wind, and OpenAI's
solution is not related to what they did.

00:52:37.456 --> 00:52:38.526
I'm not sure what blow up means here.

00:52:38.826 --> 00:52:43.576
But, there is drama where that person
who was about to publish said on forums

00:52:43.596 --> 00:52:47.836
like, "Hey, we talked to OpenAI, and
you know, they, they don't want us

00:52:47.836 --> 00:52:49.336
on the release together," et cetera.

00:52:49.656 --> 00:52:53.676
"And potentially they have looked
at what we did, and we uploaded tons

00:52:53.676 --> 00:52:55.866
of papers, with OpenAI," et cetera.

00:52:55.926 --> 00:52:58.936
it looks like the Anthropic
folks derailed the conversation.

00:52:59.266 --> 00:53:02.256
OpenAI were ready to give this
person, "Hey, here's the dude.

00:53:02.426 --> 00:53:04.176
We just like verified whatever he did."

00:53:04.386 --> 00:53:06.626
but because the Anthropic dude was
there, they said, "We obviously

00:53:06.626 --> 00:53:11.376
cannot, credit a competitor of ours
on our achievement, so if we remove

00:53:11.406 --> 00:53:12.736
that person you can get the credit."

00:53:12.766 --> 00:53:15.966
and many folks started speculating
whether or not OpenAI's models

00:53:15.976 --> 00:53:18.846
actually trained on the solution
that they provided on the papers.

00:53:19.466 --> 00:53:21.706
OpenAI said, "No, we don't
train on your texts."

00:53:22.146 --> 00:53:26.396
but then they mentioned something
that says, a de-anonymized-- o-OpenAI

00:53:26.396 --> 00:53:30.816
acknowledges it cannot rule out
de-identified usage data from, Alperge,

00:53:30.826 --> 00:53:32.296
the guy, the independent, and, Buckmaster.

00:53:32.526 --> 00:53:33.206
Buck-Buckmaster?

00:53:34.486 --> 00:53:36.036
Yeah, Lev and Buckmaster,
who works at Anthropic.

00:53:37.246 --> 00:53:40.146
we cannot rule out that this
helped improve the models, but

00:53:40.146 --> 00:53:43.676
says that the proof differ and no
specific user data was accessed.

00:53:44.386 --> 00:53:48.754
And yeah, so Comments?

00:53:48.794 --> 00:53:49.724
LDJ, I see your hand up.

00:53:49.724 --> 00:53:50.864
Please chime in here.

00:53:51.544 --> 00:53:54.474
LDJ: I think what's very important
here, which OpenAI and across

00:53:54.474 --> 00:53:58.554
several tweets by several different
employees have clarified on, is

00:53:58.824 --> 00:54:00.424
there's two ways to opt out of data.

00:54:00.434 --> 00:54:03.524
There's kind of like a specific form
that you can go on their website

00:54:03.564 --> 00:54:07.004
to fill out, or you can literally
just make sure that you have the

00:54:07.034 --> 00:54:10.754
improve the model for everyone toggle
turned off in your ChatGPT settings.

00:54:11.104 --> 00:54:14.144
They've confirmed that as long as--
If you do either of those two things,

00:54:14.144 --> 00:54:17.234
you don't have to do both of them,
you just have to do one of them, then

00:54:17.244 --> 00:54:18.584
your chats will not be trained on.

00:54:19.124 --> 00:54:20.474
But even if your chats…

00:54:20.654 --> 00:54:22.944
Let, let's say you do turn
that toggle on so that you do

00:54:22.944 --> 00:54:24.304
improve the model for everyone.

00:54:25.004 --> 00:54:28.684
Even when it's trained on in that
case, it's, it's the, sorry, I

00:54:28.684 --> 00:54:31.674
forgot the term, but like de-de-
De-anonymized … de-identified,

00:54:31.674 --> 00:54:32.494
De-anonymized … anonymized.

00:54:32.544 --> 00:54:32.784
Yeah.

00:54:33.264 --> 00:54:33.524
Yeah.

00:54:33.524 --> 00:54:36.524
So, to remove your private, private
data and everything from that.

00:54:36.944 --> 00:54:44.134
So given this, I do find it a bit weird
and interesting that it seems like the,

00:54:44.144 --> 00:54:48.504
the mathematicians involved in the drama
here s- claiming that maybe their chats

00:54:48.504 --> 00:54:53.194
were trained on, I have not seen any
of them post any screenshots of whether

00:54:53.194 --> 00:54:55.384
or not they have that toggle on or off.

00:54:56.224 --> 00:54:56.654
Chris Alexiuk: Mm-hmm.

00:54:56.654 --> 00:54:59.404
LDJ: And that seems like a very easy
thing that they could just do and

00:54:59.404 --> 00:55:02.964
post, like, "Hey, look, I've had
the toggle off for the past year.

00:55:02.964 --> 00:55:03.254
I…"

00:55:03.714 --> 00:55:06.714
Or, or at least I'm pretty confident I
am, and here- Yeah … you can see in

00:55:06.714 --> 00:55:08.504
the screenshot I have the toggle off.

00:55:09.034 --> 00:55:10.794
But I haven't seen any of them post that.

00:55:10.794 --> 00:55:14.264
So I, I don't know, may-maybe they
just haven't, seen those posts from

00:55:14.264 --> 00:55:16.544
OpenAI yet about, about that fact.

00:55:16.544 --> 00:55:18.044
But, I guess I'm just
waiting for that now.

00:55:18.824 --> 00:55:21.804
Alex Volkov: So LDJ, we put up
a HR that you, that you added.

00:55:21.804 --> 00:55:23.574
Let's, let's talk about the
chart a little bit because I

00:55:23.574 --> 00:55:24.944
think it's it's quite incredible.

00:55:24.944 --> 00:55:25.554
LDJ: Oh, yes.

00:55:25.624 --> 00:55:28.294
And sorry, I accidentally cropped
out the top part, but this is,

00:55:28.704 --> 00:55:32.134
open problems in mathematics that
exist publicly that OpenAI curated.

00:55:32.604 --> 00:55:37.254
And the bottom line here is, this
is the estimated progress of Sol.

00:55:37.954 --> 00:55:40.934
I say estimated because they didn't
actually directly test Sol here.

00:55:41.284 --> 00:55:41.494
Alex Volkov: Yeah.

00:55:41.544 --> 00:55:43.024
LDJ: based on other math benchmarks.

00:55:43.034 --> 00:55:44.054
And then you see Astra.

00:55:44.214 --> 00:55:47.434
Astra and the internal model,
those are actual measurements

00:55:47.434 --> 00:55:48.904
that OpenAI did internally.

00:55:49.714 --> 00:55:52.694
And this is the amount of those
open problems, which these are

00:55:52.724 --> 00:55:55.914
unsolved problems in mathematics
that no human has ever solved before.

00:55:56.184 --> 00:56:00.534
Astra ended up at max reasoning being
able to solve roughly 15% of them.

00:56:00.894 --> 00:56:03.284
At low reasoning, a
little under 10% of them.

00:56:03.984 --> 00:56:08.204
And then for their internal model,
which a lot of people have dubbed as,

00:56:08.574 --> 00:56:11.634
have speculated this is a pre-trained
model internally called Bell.

00:56:12.234 --> 00:56:12.584
Speaker 3: Hmm.

00:56:12.744 --> 00:56:18.524
LDJ: And at the low reasoning
setting, it's performing nearly

00:56:18.524 --> 00:56:23.344
twice as, as good in terms of overall
amount of, problems, solved than

00:56:23.364 --> 00:56:25.064
even the max reasoning of Astra.

00:56:25.454 --> 00:56:28.074
Alex Volkov: and then we just got- Yeah
… Astra last week and blew our minds.

00:56:28.404 --> 00:56:33.934
OpenAI is showing here that they have a
model that's farther away from Astra than

00:56:33.944 --> 00:56:37.974
Astra is from Sol, and this is the model
that's solving, like, fucking mathematics.

00:56:38.074 --> 00:56:38.484
Look at this.

00:56:38.484 --> 00:56:41.064
folks, Yam, let me just, let
me just land this point here.

00:56:41.374 --> 00:56:42.364
we're, we're here.

00:56:43.074 --> 00:56:47.374
We're at the point where we told you
two years ago, one year ago that scale

00:56:47.374 --> 00:56:51.844
fucking works, and we'll get to a point
where AI solves real fucking problems.

00:56:52.284 --> 00:56:55.494
And this is problems that humans,
all humans, the best humans,

00:56:55.534 --> 00:57:00.494
Terence Tao motherfucker levels
mathematicians were not able to

00:57:00.494 --> 00:57:02.044
solve to claim the one million prize.

00:57:02.044 --> 00:57:04.054
It's a pretty good incentive
for a human, one million prize.

00:57:04.974 --> 00:57:07.434
Were not able to solve,
and now we're there.

00:57:07.884 --> 00:57:12.824
Folks can say all they want, "Hey, this is
a search problem, and you searched Opa."

00:57:12.864 --> 00:57:15.034
I don't give a f- how this is solved.

00:57:15.564 --> 00:57:19.844
if you guys remember, two years ago, two
and a half years ago, three years ago when

00:57:19.844 --> 00:57:23.824
we did the LK-99 excitement for a second
with, with, Do you guys remember LK-99?

00:57:24.204 --> 00:57:27.524
The, the, room temperature
semi-semiconductor that was

00:57:27.524 --> 00:57:29.864
supposed to change the world
that came from Korea, et cetera.

00:57:30.094 --> 00:57:32.374
back then we talked about, with
mathematicians, physicians,

00:57:32.374 --> 00:57:33.484
et cetera, professors.

00:57:33.754 --> 00:57:34.744
That's a search problem.

00:57:35.174 --> 00:57:39.574
Nothing in physics in theory prevents
a room temperature superconductor.

00:57:39.694 --> 00:57:40.924
We just haven't found that.

00:57:40.964 --> 00:57:44.514
Yeah, if, if, if Sam Altman, by the
way, he said, "Sure, let's try this."

00:57:44.754 --> 00:57:50.804
if, if they sent 10 million, whatever,
this level of model to go and search

00:57:50.814 --> 00:57:56.444
the possible, you know, field of, of,
of materials and find us a, a room

00:57:56.444 --> 00:58:01.344
temperature semiconductor, AI can start
changing things really for everyone.

00:58:01.894 --> 00:58:04.654
I don't know if Navier-Stokes
changes things immediately, but

00:58:04.674 --> 00:58:06.714
you know, a, a, a cancer cure can.

00:58:06.994 --> 00:58:10.934
A, a LK, you know, semi-
room level, room temperature

00:58:11.214 --> 00:58:12.934
semiconductor can, superconductor.

00:58:13.104 --> 00:58:14.846
Yam, let's, let's, land
on the- it's just the

00:58:14.846 --> 00:58:15.276
Nisten Tahiraj: same…

00:58:15.356 --> 00:58:16.926
It's just the Mars driver test,

00:58:16.926 --> 00:58:18.236
Alex Volkov: I thought you were
talking about Navier-Stokes.

00:58:18.376 --> 00:58:18.616
no, no.

00:58:18.626 --> 00:58:18.966
Okay.

00:58:19.666 --> 00:58:23.256
Yam, tell us about, y- you had one last
comment, I believe, before we move on-

00:58:23.266 --> 00:58:24.736
Yeah … move on to other things from
this one … I was just saying, look,

00:58:25.176 --> 00:58:26.156
Yam Peleg: look at this.

00:58:26.246 --> 00:58:28.356
Look at the white chart.

00:58:28.726 --> 00:58:30.336
Like, just look at this.

00:58:30.336 --> 00:58:30.460
Alex Volkov: pull

00:58:30.460 --> 00:58:34.220
Yam Peleg: The, the white chart
of, of the internal model.

00:58:34.530 --> 00:58:36.720
Internal model x high, ma- max.

00:58:36.750 --> 00:58:37.310
Internal…

00:58:37.620 --> 00:58:44.660
That, yeah, that, that one I mean, Astra,
the, the AGI moment i- is the blue one.

00:58:44.990 --> 00:58:47.730
Sol is, I think, less than two month.

00:58:48.040 --> 00:58:51.720
You said couple of month ago, but
it doesn't do justice to- To how

00:58:51.720 --> 00:58:52.930
short … a month and a little bit.

00:58:52.970 --> 00:58:53.120
Yes.

00:58:53.130 --> 00:58:53.150
Yeah.

00:58:53.160 --> 00:58:56.370
It, yeah, it's pretty much,
it's pretty much in July.

00:58:56.930 --> 00:58:59.680
And look at the white chart.

00:58:59.810 --> 00:59:01.100
Look at the white line.

00:59:01.700 --> 00:59:04.920
That's internal model, okay?

00:59:04.970 --> 00:59:08.510
And it can be a search problem.

00:59:09.240 --> 00:59:09.950
you know what?

00:59:10.010 --> 00:59:10.690
No problem.

00:59:10.690 --> 00:59:13.100
It c- you can call it a search problem.

00:59:14.050 --> 00:59:14.860
Go search.

00:59:15.040 --> 00:59:20.390
Like, you can't just search the
entire space without anything

00:59:20.390 --> 00:59:24.070
intelligence- Yeah … enough to at
least search the right solutions.

00:59:24.420 --> 00:59:26.740
Yeah, you need to, to
launch a, I don't know,

00:59:26.930 --> 00:59:27.083
Alex Volkov: 100,000

00:59:27.083 --> 00:59:28.313
Yam Peleg: Yeah, if you
don't know what to search it

00:59:28.313 --> 00:59:29.633
Alex Volkov: for, you can go and search

00:59:29.663 --> 00:59:32.863
Yam Peleg: Yeah, if it was just brute
force, it would've been solved already.

00:59:32.873 --> 00:59:33.373
There is…

00:59:33.443 --> 00:59:35.813
It's not about the money,
it's, so many people tried.

00:59:35.953 --> 00:59:37.083
So many people have computers.

00:59:37.853 --> 00:59:44.073
You do need GPT-6 internal
model version to, to do this.

00:59:44.403 --> 00:59:49.123
Or, or, I'm, I'm not taking away,
credit from the other competing,

00:59:49.403 --> 00:59:52.703
competing party, or Fable needs us to…

00:59:52.863 --> 00:59:56.703
Like, but you do need these
to do this this way, okay?

00:59:57.583 --> 00:59:58.593
And I don't know, I don't know.

00:59:58.623 --> 01:00:03.313
I, I, I genuinely don't know about the,
all the, a- all the, all the drama.

01:00:03.693 --> 01:00:04.093
Alex Volkov: That's all right.

01:00:04.213 --> 01:00:06.203
Yam Peleg: But yeah, mad respect.

01:00:06.203 --> 01:00:06.573
Alex Volkov: mad respect … big moment.

01:00:06.573 --> 01:00:08.523
LDJ, one last comment
before I move on, please.

01:00:09.583 --> 01:00:09.953
Yeah.

01:00:10.003 --> 01:00:11.213
'Cause where we're moving to is, is a- Mm

01:00:11.223 --> 01:00:13.993
completely different end of the spectrum,
so I would love one last comment.

01:00:14.473 --> 01:00:14.743
LDJ: Yeah.

01:00:14.773 --> 01:00:19.233
They, they also did confirm that this,
this larger model, this, this, this

01:00:19.233 --> 01:00:23.333
better model, rather, that's in that
chart that I showed, that, that it was

01:00:23.333 --> 01:00:28.303
still in training while they were solving,
the Navier–Stokes equation when they

01:00:28.313 --> 01:00:30.463
had up to 10,000 agents running of it.

01:00:30.673 --> 01:00:32.383
Meaning it, it was…

01:00:33.203 --> 01:00:36.283
And partway through, they actually updated
the checkpoint that they're using for

01:00:36.353 --> 01:00:39.863
Navier–Stokes, and so it, it, it ended
up being able to work on it even better.

01:00:40.113 --> 01:00:43.293
But yeah, it seems like as of the past
few days at least, the model's still in

01:00:43.293 --> 01:00:44.893
training, and so it's not fully done yet.

01:00:45.993 --> 01:00:48.303
Alex Volkov: All right, folks, as the
saying goes, we have breaking news

01:00:48.303 --> 01:00:49.783
before we move on to the doomer-y part.

01:00:49.823 --> 01:00:50.273
Let's go.

01:00:53.073 --> 01:00:58.293
AI breaking news coming
at you only on ThursdAI.

01:01:04.465 --> 01:01:08.365
For the past three and a half years,
maybe the most fun part of the show

01:01:08.365 --> 01:01:12.075
here, besides chatting with my co-host
here and chatting with you guys in the

01:01:12.075 --> 01:01:14.525
comments, is the breaking news effect.

01:01:14.885 --> 01:01:19.155
So many labs love breaking news
on Thursday, which is crazy.

01:01:19.345 --> 01:01:20.915
maybe we'll get Grok today, I don't know.

01:01:20.915 --> 01:01:24.375
But, right now from Cognition, from the
folks who built Devin, the AI assistant,

01:01:24.735 --> 01:01:30.275
SWE 2, S-W-E 2, our closest model
yet to the frontier on leading evals.

01:01:30.275 --> 01:01:35.565
SWE 2 scores on par with recent frontier
models and up at 70% lower cost.

01:01:35.565 --> 01:01:38.415
Folks, we just talked to you about
DeepSeek doing very, very cheap models.

01:01:38.505 --> 01:01:44.825
Here is, Cognition SWE 2
catching up to Fable 5.1

01:01:45.445 --> 01:01:50.825
and then GPT-6 Astra, on Frontier
Code, which is, I believe, their

01:01:50.865 --> 01:01:54.855
own benchmark, that a friend of the
pod, Swyx, helped, move in Cognition

01:01:54.855 --> 01:01:56.355
and talked to us about on, on air.

01:01:56.655 --> 01:01:57.685
Frontier Code 1.1

01:01:57.695 --> 01:02:01.885
main, SWE 2 gets 50%, Fable gets 50.9,

01:02:02.065 --> 01:02:03.355
and Astra gets 53.

01:02:03.385 --> 01:02:04.155
So very, very close.

01:02:04.185 --> 01:02:05.175
Astra's really good at that.

01:02:05.225 --> 01:02:06.295
but beating 5.6

01:02:06.295 --> 01:02:08.805
Sol and beating Grok 4.6,

01:02:08.855 --> 01:02:09.495
which is really good.

01:02:09.595 --> 01:02:12.525
I wonder why they're not
including Muse, but that's okay.

01:02:12.845 --> 01:02:17.205
On DeepSwe, this SWE gets 73%,
and beats everybody besides

01:02:17.205 --> 01:02:21.115
Astra, including Fable, at 74.

01:02:21.125 --> 01:02:25.655
So Astra is at 74 here, and this is a 92.8

01:02:25.695 --> 01:02:26.935
on Terminal Bench 2.1.

01:02:27.705 --> 01:02:30.625
This is the top score on Terminal
Bench from the one they measured.

01:02:30.925 --> 01:02:33.305
now let's talk about the, the cost.

01:02:33.305 --> 01:02:34.145
I wanna see the cost.

01:02:34.165 --> 01:02:40.075
Here is the cost chart where they
have, GPT Astra and Sol and Fable.

01:02:40.525 --> 01:02:41.875
Fable is ridiculous, the cost chart.

01:02:41.895 --> 01:02:42.825
Don't even look at Fable.

01:02:43.015 --> 01:02:45.115
SWE 2 is ridiculously cheap.

01:02:45.115 --> 01:02:45.645
Look at that.

01:02:45.785 --> 01:02:46.505
I don't even know.

01:02:46.535 --> 01:02:50.869
I want this chart, per I
want the actual price here.

01:02:51.109 --> 01:02:53.959
But on frontier code, SWE
2 achieves a score of 50%.

01:02:54.329 --> 01:02:55.634
It beats, SWE 1.7,

01:02:55.634 --> 01:02:56.339
Grok 4.6,

01:02:56.339 --> 01:02:59.189
and GPT 4.6o

01:02:59.199 --> 01:03:02.459
while matching Fable at 64% lower cost.

01:03:03.669 --> 01:03:08.099
And, they, they offer support to effort
levels as we- especially, Cognition

01:03:08.099 --> 01:03:13.949
just got a- another inflow of cash
from a16z and, Devin is the one AI

01:03:13.999 --> 01:03:15.739
that is not beholden to any lab.

01:03:15.739 --> 01:03:19.949
So if you wanna find Astra or you
wanna find Fable, Devin, I think,

01:03:19.949 --> 01:03:23.619
is one of the only places that
still allow this, like, directly.

01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:28.349
Cursor doesn't have GPT level stuff
anymore because Cursor aligns with, you

01:03:28.349 --> 01:03:30.339
know, with xAI, and they serve Anthropic.

01:03:30.589 --> 01:03:34.159
Devin, which bought Windsurf,
so they actually have that

01:03:34.159 --> 01:03:36.889
functionality, definitely has, both.

01:03:37.309 --> 01:03:41.849
And, SWE 2 is available in Devin CLI,
and they're making it free for all

01:03:41.849 --> 01:03:46.679
Pro, Max and Team subscribers for
next month, which is very impressive.

01:03:47.359 --> 01:03:48.559
Very impressive from Cognition.

01:03:48.569 --> 01:03:49.629
Shout out to Cognition, folks.

01:03:49.629 --> 01:03:50.729
Obviously, we didn't use this.

01:03:50.739 --> 01:03:54.679
It came out literally 30
minutes ago, but here we have

01:03:54.909 --> 01:03:56.609
very, very impressive, things.

01:03:56.969 --> 01:04:02.629
just as a reminder, when Elon Musk bought
Cursor, mostly because of the pro-- not

01:04:02.649 --> 01:04:05.649
the products, but the data, but also the
products, he bought them specifically

01:04:05.649 --> 01:04:08.089
to help him train Grok, and Grok 4.6

01:04:08.089 --> 01:04:10.379
was really, really good, and, Grok 4.7

01:04:10.379 --> 01:04:11.759
supposedly is significantly better.

01:04:11.779 --> 01:04:14.599
That's because many people use
Cursor for free, and they share

01:04:14.809 --> 01:04:16.279
their tokens for training.

01:04:16.589 --> 01:04:18.089
Devin has that in droves.

01:04:18.319 --> 01:04:21.959
Like, many people who use Devin probably
support Devin as well, so they have

01:04:21.959 --> 01:04:23.799
a lot of that knowledge as well.

01:04:23.799 --> 01:04:29.459
So shout out to Devin for SWE 2,
and Pareto Frontier on RL as well.

01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:31.509
Any comments, folks?

01:04:31.579 --> 01:04:32.419
folks who use Devin?

01:04:32.419 --> 01:04:33.399
I know Ryan Carson uses it,

01:04:33.449 --> 01:04:37.569
Nisten Tahiraj: And, everybody who uses
it seems to like it quite a lot, so.

01:04:37.579 --> 01:04:37.839
Alex Volkov: Yeah.

01:04:38.709 --> 01:04:39.329
Nisten Tahiraj: I also participate.

01:04:39.329 --> 01:04:39.799
Alex Volkov: I love Devin.

01:04:40.209 --> 01:04:43.529
And, shout out, they gave me a few
tokens, so when I ran out of Astro

01:04:43.529 --> 01:04:47.099
tokens on, on Codex, I went to
Devin and started asking for stuff.

01:04:47.449 --> 01:04:47.759
but yeah.

01:04:48.069 --> 01:04:48.659
So shout out to Devin.

01:04:48.659 --> 01:04:48.709
Devin

01:04:48.709 --> 01:04:51.089
Wolfram Ravenwolf: says they'll have
the free, if you have an open source

01:04:51.089 --> 01:04:53.259
project, it reviews PRs for you for free.

01:04:54.039 --> 01:04:55.399
They definitely have that,
and I use them a lot.

01:04:55.419 --> 01:04:56.789
Alex Volkov: Devin Review is, for free.

01:04:57.059 --> 01:05:00.049
it adds, to your, GitHub
and just reviews your PRs.

01:05:00.049 --> 01:05:00.465
It was really, really

01:05:00.465 --> 01:05:03.115
Wolfram Ravenwolf: To me, it felt
the intelligence of Devin felt, ahead

01:05:03.115 --> 01:05:05.435
of the game before Soul came out.

01:05:05.435 --> 01:05:09.645
Soul was the first where I felt the same
when I ran a model, but before that, Devin

01:05:09.645 --> 01:05:14.025
was definitely finding stuff and issues
that other models simply just didn't see.

01:05:14.595 --> 01:05:17.085
You uploaded a PR and it found some bugs.

01:05:17.085 --> 01:05:18.685
You fixed them, it found some more bugs.

01:05:18.875 --> 01:05:18.895
Yeah.

01:05:18.895 --> 01:05:21.545
And so it was almost annoying,
but it was excellent.

01:05:21.755 --> 01:05:23.695
Alex Volkov: All right, folks,
we're almost live on the air.

01:05:23.695 --> 01:05:26.875
We just had breaking news, and before
we continue to our next segment, to

01:05:26.875 --> 01:05:31.575
talk about the rise of doomerism in
the world, I definitely wanna tell you

01:05:31.955 --> 01:05:36.215
something about, the presenter of the
show, Weights & Biases, and CoreWeave.

01:05:36.255 --> 01:05:38.765
So let's, let's go to this week's
buzz for just a few moments, and

01:05:38.765 --> 01:05:39.745
then we'll continue with the show.

01:05:57.391 --> 01:06:00.641
Folks, welcome to this week's Vibe, the
corner of Thursd AI where we tell you

01:06:00.641 --> 01:06:03.441
everything that happens in the world
of, Weights & Biases and CoreWeave.

01:06:03.481 --> 01:06:09.371
And, here I will just, tell you
that our upcoming fully connected

01:06:09.401 --> 01:06:13.071
conference for over 2,000
engineers, with headliners like Dr.

01:06:13.071 --> 01:06:18.311
Fei-Fei Li and Sarah, from,
Conviction, Sarah Guo from Conviction,

01:06:18.341 --> 01:06:19.681
who's heading the show, is…

01:06:19.731 --> 01:06:20.681
has another announcement.

01:06:20.681 --> 01:06:22.641
And instead of just telling you
about this announcement, I think

01:06:22.641 --> 01:06:24.121
I'll just play this, clip verbatim.

01:06:39.157 --> 01:06:40.417
Because we're also a
podcast, I'll talk over this.

01:06:41.357 --> 01:06:44.277
This clip is from a
social team that announced

01:06:46.453 --> 01:06:47.423
Pitbull, Mr.

01:06:47.423 --> 01:06:51.883
305, the international superstar,
is going to headline the

01:06:51.883 --> 01:06:53.613
concert on Fully Connected.

01:06:54.663 --> 01:06:58.563
So the ticket that we give you
for free, here on ThursdAI is

01:07:00.683 --> 01:07:06.863
also tickets to a Pitbull concert,
which is, I think, incredible.

01:07:06.863 --> 01:07:09.943
So in addition to hearing from
the top folks in the AI world, if

01:07:09.943 --> 01:07:15.233
you're coming to San Francisco, on
September 29th, and you use our code,

01:07:15.253 --> 01:07:17.573
which we will show here in a second.

01:07:17.583 --> 01:07:22.273
We're not mentioning the code in
voice, but you can look, below.

01:07:22.533 --> 01:07:23.483
take down this code.

01:07:23.533 --> 01:07:28.063
if you are following the show on any
podcast or newsletter, ThursdAI.news,

01:07:28.323 --> 01:07:32.453
you can get, tickets to Fully
Connected for free, September 29th

01:07:32.563 --> 01:07:35.343
till, October 1st in San Francisco.

01:07:35.683 --> 01:07:37.033
Please come and join us.

01:07:37.093 --> 01:07:39.443
We'll have a live show as
well that Thursday, so that's

01:07:39.443 --> 01:07:40.273
in, three weeks from now.

01:07:40.713 --> 01:07:42.383
and we look forward to seeing you there.

01:07:42.493 --> 01:07:45.533
oh, and also, we have a
hackathon coming up, that, we

01:07:45.533 --> 01:07:47.803
would love to also invite you.

01:07:48.083 --> 01:07:51.383
A lot of the times where we had
hackathons, folks from the show showed

01:07:51.383 --> 01:07:53.983
up and said, "Hey, you know, I heard
about the hackathon on the show as well."

01:07:54.153 --> 01:07:55.953
So, luma.com/corewevehacks,

01:07:56.653 --> 01:07:57.383
is our new URL.

01:07:58.083 --> 01:08:01.573
the CoreWeave hacks is September 12th
to 13, folks, so Literally this weekend.

01:08:01.883 --> 01:08:06.343
Please come join and hack with
us at luma.com/corewevehacks,

01:08:06.343 --> 01:08:08.143
and you'll be able to
get incredible prizes.

01:08:08.343 --> 01:08:10.083
Wolfram Ravenwolf: I've been
to one, and it's been a great

01:08:10.083 --> 01:08:12.753
experience, so highly recommend.

01:08:13.443 --> 01:08:13.903
Alex Volkov: All righty.

01:08:13.923 --> 01:08:18.613
So, with this, we'll move back to
the world of, of Frontier Labs.

01:08:18.613 --> 01:08:20.503
I don't, I don't know
quite how to call this.

01:08:21.443 --> 01:08:25.873
folks, this week has been
very good for the doomers.

01:08:25.883 --> 01:08:30.003
You know that we started the show to
counter doomerism, and you know that we

01:08:30.003 --> 01:08:34.343
acknowledge that, you know, some risk
exists, and we do different levels of,

01:08:34.373 --> 01:08:37.043
of, AI, acceleration here on the curve.

01:08:37.053 --> 01:08:40.993
But all of us definitely understand the,
the benefits of AI, and we look forward

01:08:40.993 --> 01:08:46.813
to reducing disease, solving, you know,
bringing back LK99 error excitement.

01:08:47.203 --> 01:08:52.793
this week, a person from Anthropic
who only worked there for six weeks

01:08:52.793 --> 01:08:57.775
or something quit Which otherwise
would not be that much of a news.

01:08:58.155 --> 01:09:02.625
We all remember when Ilya Sutskever
almost took over OpenAI's board

01:09:02.675 --> 01:09:05.465
and then quit, and then we all
were like, "Oh, what did Ilya see?"

01:09:05.515 --> 01:09:06.735
What he saw was reasoning.

01:09:07.145 --> 01:09:08.185
That's what Ilya saw.

01:09:08.225 --> 01:09:09.615
Ilya saw the rise of reasoning.

01:09:09.955 --> 01:09:15.225
When Ilya quit, his post saying that
he quit, maybe five million people saw.

01:09:15.785 --> 01:09:19.055
This anonymous dude who was,
like, you know, not intern level,

01:09:19.055 --> 01:09:22.915
but definitely very sought-after
person in, in OpenAI, worked there

01:09:22.945 --> 01:09:24.195
and then went to Anthropic, quit.

01:09:24.725 --> 01:09:30.595
135 million impressions so far on his,
on his tweet announcing that he quits,

01:09:30.925 --> 01:09:33.105
because of the content of what he said.

01:09:33.405 --> 01:09:37.485
So what he said was, "Hey, all
these labs are building something,

01:09:37.805 --> 01:09:42.875
and that something will bring about
the, the doom of all humanity,"

01:09:42.945 --> 01:09:44.505
which is a very scary thing to say.

01:09:44.995 --> 01:09:49.265
Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic
on September 9th, stating, "Both

01:09:49.265 --> 01:09:53.325
Anthropic and OpenAI are racing to
self-improving super intelligence."

01:09:54.155 --> 01:09:58.845
And, he got coverage from pretty
much every major news outlet,

01:09:58.845 --> 01:10:01.525
Fox, AP News, on the same day.

01:10:02.095 --> 01:10:06.105
Senators, like a list of a host of
senators, obviously Bernie Sanders.

01:10:06.165 --> 01:10:06.775
Let's talk about this.

01:10:07.255 --> 01:10:09.375
first of all, let's talk about
what, about what he said.

01:10:09.805 --> 01:10:11.965
worked at Anthropic, and
he's not the only one.

01:10:11.985 --> 01:10:14.365
Obviously, all of the other
doomers jumped on this.

01:10:15.725 --> 01:10:19.925
Evan Hubinger, Samuel Marks, Alex
Turner, like a bunch of folks, jumped

01:10:19.925 --> 01:10:21.555
on this in a very, very short time.

01:10:21.565 --> 01:10:25.135
This, this doomer thing that,
"Hey, AI is gonna kill us all,"

01:10:25.415 --> 01:10:27.475
traveled very, very, very far.

01:10:27.845 --> 01:10:32.995
Now, I know how the panel feels
about doomerism, AI is gonna kill

01:10:32.995 --> 01:10:35.985
us all, so we shouldn't go deep
into whether or not we believe this.

01:10:36.035 --> 01:10:40.885
I do wanna talk about, how big this
has gotten all of a sudden and whether

01:10:40.885 --> 01:10:45.285
or not, you know, the doomer folks
are having their own moment right now.

01:10:45.585 --> 01:10:46.215
Who wants to…

01:10:46.255 --> 01:10:47.275
Wolfram, I wanna hear from you.

01:10:47.275 --> 01:10:50.355
I, I think one of the more
AI-built folks here on the panel.

01:10:51.065 --> 01:10:51.115
Yeah.

01:10:51.265 --> 01:10:52.072
Tell us, what do you

01:10:52.072 --> 01:10:52.295
Wolfram Ravenwolf: think?

01:10:52.295 --> 01:10:56.785
I mean, that has been in the making for
a while now, where we saw what OpenAI

01:10:57.485 --> 01:10:59.285
with the hacking incident and so on.

01:10:59.625 --> 01:11:04.105
And OpenAI is now also asking for the
government to step in, though that

01:11:04.105 --> 01:11:05.985
is another news item in of its own.

01:11:06.325 --> 01:11:11.515
But the thing here is that the doomers,
The thing is this guy, he resigned and

01:11:11.515 --> 01:11:14.585
there was already an interview and he
went to all the talk shows and there has

01:11:14.585 --> 01:11:19.895
been so much money going around here to
push this up, to make it viral basically.

01:11:20.165 --> 01:11:23.555
Someone was there for six week, and
then left- Yeah … and said something

01:11:23.565 --> 01:11:25.305
like, "Oh, AI is going to kill us all."

01:11:25.305 --> 01:11:25.975
Where's the proof?

01:11:26.485 --> 01:11:30.185
If, why are people working
for a company like that?

01:11:30.555 --> 01:11:31.745
or not everybody resigning.

01:11:31.805 --> 01:11:33.075
Why are you working there?

01:11:33.105 --> 01:11:34.225
That doesn't make sense.

01:11:34.245 --> 01:11:37.785
If everybody was going, "Yeah, this
is a bad thing," they should down-

01:11:37.825 --> 01:11:41.685
shut down the company or sh- they
should open up much more to make the

01:11:41.695 --> 01:11:44.995
alignment stuff and the model weights
and everything more open so the whole

01:11:45.005 --> 01:11:47.425
world can have aligns with things.

01:11:47.915 --> 01:11:49.705
So it, it just doesn't fit together.

01:11:49.825 --> 01:11:55.775
It's more like a way to get, yeah, the,
the way to keep control very tightly

01:11:56.235 --> 01:12:00.255
and if the government steps in and
says, "Okay, you have to complete all

01:12:00.255 --> 01:12:03.925
of these things", like the AI testing
regulations we have heard about,

01:12:04.175 --> 01:12:05.665
then the big labs, they can do it.

01:12:05.665 --> 01:12:09.686
There is not much, reason to speed
up anymore if they did that AI

01:12:09.686 --> 01:12:13.555
is not a weapon, but it can be
weaponized, especially in those areas.

01:12:13.836 --> 01:12:16.436
And while the public only gets,
guardrailed versions of the models

01:12:16.436 --> 01:12:18.806
that can't do much, I tested Astra.

01:12:19.026 --> 01:12:21.886
I did the Wolfbench evaluation
and it was worse than Soul

01:12:22.156 --> 01:12:24.036
because like Fable it refused.

01:12:24.136 --> 01:12:27.756
Eight of the tests it completely
refused where the cyber watch,

01:12:27.786 --> 01:12:29.516
the cyber guardrail triggered.

01:12:29.786 --> 01:12:30.986
So it didn't even be there in this case.

01:12:31.146 --> 01:12:32.596
So that is what the public gets.

01:12:32.846 --> 01:12:36.026
But of course the governments, don't
you think the government wants to

01:12:36.026 --> 01:12:40.585
have access to that model we saw,
the Bell or what it's called model?

01:12:40.586 --> 01:12:44.375
if it's good in that regard, maybe they
have one for cyber capabilities as well

01:12:45.216 --> 01:12:46.806
That would explain a lot of things.

01:12:47.006 --> 01:12:48.551
Alex Volkov: So Wolfram, I think
you're talking about something

01:12:48.551 --> 01:12:50.251
that definitely he mentioned.

01:12:50.301 --> 01:12:54.841
And by the way, I will say, you
know, the, the very pro AI EAC

01:12:54.841 --> 01:12:57.541
people are, like, dunking on this
person and saying, "Who, who he is?

01:12:57.541 --> 01:12:58.561
He only worked there for a little bit."

01:12:58.731 --> 01:13:01.171
folks from OpenAI, folks that
we know, say they worked with

01:13:01.171 --> 01:13:02.461
him for three years in OpenAI.

01:13:02.471 --> 01:13:04.881
He's a very, very decent dude
who cares a lot about humanity.

01:13:04.881 --> 01:13:09.731
So this is, not out of nowhere, and we
definitely have some folks, deep thinkers,

01:13:09.731 --> 01:13:13.761
who think that there is a chance that we
hit super intelligence without alignment,

01:13:13.781 --> 01:13:16.871
and the race to super intelligence,
will create super intelligence that's

01:13:16.871 --> 01:13:18.411
not aligned to human interests.

01:13:18.601 --> 01:13:21.951
Ilya Sutskever, the co-founder
of OpenAI, when he left, he

01:13:21.951 --> 01:13:23.771
founded safe super intelligence.

01:13:23.921 --> 01:13:27.191
Ilya said, "Straight shot to super
intelligence, but it needs to be safe for

01:13:27.191 --> 01:13:31.101
us humans as well," which also means that
he believes that there is a chance that we

01:13:31.101 --> 01:13:34.941
build this incorrectly and the incentive
structure is such that we may actually,

01:13:34.941 --> 01:13:39.141
like, you know, ig- ig- ignore, safety
in order to get there first, et cetera.

01:13:39.381 --> 01:13:41.970
getting there first or getting
somewhere first is very important

01:13:41.980 --> 01:13:45.161
because, like you're saying, Wolfram,
it's not like the world is gonna stop.

01:13:45.941 --> 01:13:50.530
It's not like DeepSeek is incentivized
to also pause because the, the folks

01:13:50.530 --> 01:13:54.241
in DeepSeek are saying, "Hey, the, the,
the AI's gonna kill us all, so we'll

01:13:54.241 --> 01:13:56.071
stop reducing the KV cache compression."

01:13:56.131 --> 01:13:56.261
Wolfram Ravenwolf: that's not happening.

01:13:56.261 --> 01:14:00.651
And we've also seen with the data center
argument that there's a lot of inorganic

01:14:00.661 --> 01:14:05.521
things here, where even outside forces
are trying to steer the public opinion.

01:14:05.911 --> 01:14:11.391
So if America pauses, that means a victory
for those who are not pausing, you know.

01:14:11.751 --> 01:14:14.441
The capability is
increasing asynchronously.

01:14:14.691 --> 01:14:15.891
So pausing is not an option.

01:14:15.941 --> 01:14:19.571
And I think also, okay, I wouldn't
say there is no risk at all or

01:14:19.571 --> 01:14:23.741
anything like that, but the risk that
AI is harmful if it is concentrated

01:14:23.741 --> 01:14:25.281
and just in the hands of a few.

01:14:25.681 --> 01:14:25.781
Alex Volkov: Yeah.

01:14:25.811 --> 01:14:28.421
Wolfram Ravenwolf: For me, that is a
much bigger risk than if it is widely

01:14:28.421 --> 01:14:32.981
distributed and people have, the
way to use AI also in their defense.

01:14:34.551 --> 01:14:35.741
Alex Volkov: Yam, I want to hear from you.

01:14:35.791 --> 01:14:39.330
your thoughts on, let's put aside whether
or not this is a coordinated effort.

01:14:39.341 --> 01:14:41.241
Yeah, go ahead while I
pull up the next thing.

01:14:41.801 --> 01:14:44.021
Yam Peleg: I have a very
specific opinion about the thing.

01:14:44.021 --> 01:14:44.981
I think you all know it.

01:14:46.261 --> 01:14:49.971
bottom line is every
generation had doomers for the

01:14:49.971 --> 01:14:51.841
technology of this generation.

01:14:51.901 --> 01:14:57.131
the internet, the trains, the
entire, industrial revolution,

01:14:57.221 --> 01:14:59.221
every generation had doomers.

01:14:59.451 --> 01:15:04.321
"The world is about to end"
every year because of new thing

01:15:04.331 --> 01:15:08.083
that- whatever it is, okay?

01:15:08.553 --> 01:15:14.123
It's very easy to fall into
doomerism and sound believable,

01:15:14.603 --> 01:15:16.083
and yet we are still here.

01:15:16.233 --> 01:15:21.223
despite generations of people over
and over telling us the end is near,

01:15:21.423 --> 01:15:21.623
Chris Alexiuk: right?

01:15:21.763 --> 01:15:23.653
Yam Peleg: It's, it's
even a meme at this point.

01:15:24.493 --> 01:15:28.963
What I wanna say is, Okay, first,
AI never gonna kill us all.

01:15:28.963 --> 01:15:29.583
Put that aside.

01:15:30.023 --> 01:15:31.033
Alex Volkov: your P doom is zero, Yam.

01:15:31.033 --> 01:15:31.633
Is that what you're saying?

01:15:31.643 --> 01:15:37.183
Yam Peleg: I think, I think that there
are, risks in, in general, and there

01:15:37.183 --> 01:15:41.013
are things that we should take into
consideration because it influence how

01:15:41.413 --> 01:15:43.173
people behave, it influence people.

01:15:43.183 --> 01:15:45.233
People use it to harm other people.

01:15:45.233 --> 01:15:46.823
Yeah, it's a powerful technology.

01:15:47.033 --> 01:15:49.363
People are going to use
it against one another.

01:15:50.173 --> 01:15:52.463
That's, that's just how it works.

01:15:53.083 --> 01:15:56.563
No one is gonna stop it globally
because just like you said, I mean,

01:15:56.563 --> 01:15:59.813
there are other players, players
in this field which you cannot

01:15:59.863 --> 01:16:01.663
regulate even if you really want to.

01:16:02.313 --> 01:16:11.053
so I look, skeptically at each claim of
someone with interest to tell us all that

01:16:11.383 --> 01:16:19.033
there should be a very specific regulation
only for those, that are allowed to use

01:16:19.033 --> 01:16:21.123
this technology and develop it for…

01:16:21.743 --> 01:16:22.703
Put, put it aside.

01:16:22.733 --> 01:16:26.623
Seriously, there, there was also
the, the hunger, hunger, the guy, the

01:16:26.623 --> 01:16:28.982
guy starving himself, two years ago.

01:16:29.722 --> 01:16:35.987
This whole AI safety extremism I,
I'm not even going into the bo-

01:16:36.027 --> 01:16:38.187
bombing the data center, part of it.

01:16:39.257 --> 01:16:40.057
Seriously,

01:16:40.067 --> 01:16:42.667
Alex Volkov: the person who said, "Bomb
the data centers," Eliezer Yudkowsky- Oh.

01:16:42.667 --> 01:16:46.007
Oh, yeah … very known in the
world of doomerism, one of the first

01:16:46.037 --> 01:16:47.587
doomers, one of the original folks.

01:16:47.687 --> 01:16:51.247
and on, I think he also created,
Less Wrong, the forum- Mm-hmm.

01:16:51.247 --> 01:16:54.547
Mm-hmm … where, like, the AI discussion
about, like, whether or not this will kill

01:16:54.547 --> 01:16:58.887
us all, and paperclip maximization, all
of that came from the EI movement, came

01:16:58.887 --> 01:17:00.527
from this effective altruism movement.

01:17:00.567 --> 01:17:01.167
Like, all of that.

01:17:01.447 --> 01:17:02.727
he is well-known doomer.

01:17:02.757 --> 01:17:05.967
He's like, "Yeah, we're, we're
about to die anyway, so, so

01:17:05.977 --> 01:17:07.537
nothing we can do is gonna matter."

01:17:07.537 --> 01:17:11.507
So he's, like, doomer about the
efforts of fixing the doomerism, which

01:17:11.507 --> 01:17:13.327
I find, kind of hilarious, honestly.

01:17:13.567 --> 01:17:18.457
He was famous with his debates with
another very strong, very s- very, like,

01:17:18.517 --> 01:17:19.927
thoughtful person, Paul Christiano.

01:17:20.577 --> 01:17:25.887
So, Paul Christiano was announced this
week to take a role in OpenAI Foundation,

01:17:26.207 --> 01:17:28.167
which, which shows that OpenAI is also…

01:17:28.407 --> 01:17:32.397
There's some considerations there
about, you know, racing towards, RSI.

01:17:32.467 --> 01:17:34.757
RSI stands for recursive self-improvement.

01:17:35.067 --> 01:17:37.937
The thing that the machine builds
the machine itself, changes its

01:17:37.937 --> 01:17:39.067
own weights towards somewhere.

01:17:39.277 --> 01:17:44.377
some recursive self-improvement we
already seen in example where, like,

01:17:44.377 --> 01:17:48.497
OpenAI's swarm starts hacking outside,
you know, OpenAI, without OpenAI

01:17:48.637 --> 01:17:50.377
employees knowing or telling it to do so.

01:17:50.397 --> 01:17:55.567
So there is a whole, difference in
the air of folks who are saying,

01:17:55.567 --> 01:18:00.117
"Hey, RSI is very hard to control for
us, especially given the examples."

01:18:00.287 --> 01:18:02.977
The Hugging Face incident,
put a chill on the industry.

01:18:03.007 --> 01:18:07.097
A lot of folks from those labs signed
the letter called Facing the Frontier.

01:18:07.097 --> 01:18:10.017
That, like, once we get to some level
of, capability, we're not at that

01:18:10.017 --> 01:18:13.667
level now, but once we get to that
level, we should, we should pause.

01:18:14.077 --> 01:18:15.157
Here's my personal take.

01:18:15.207 --> 01:18:17.877
Nisten, before I get to you,
my personal take is let's pause

01:18:18.277 --> 01:18:19.977
just after we solved cancer.

01:18:20.157 --> 01:18:23.476
Just literally just, like, let's get
to cancer is no longer a problem for

01:18:23.477 --> 01:18:25.047
humanity, and then let's pause and see.

01:18:25.936 --> 01:18:30.086
That's, that's my, that's my non-doomerism
take, but, but the, the more sober concept

01:18:30.086 --> 01:18:33.446
about this is, The folks who want to pause
completely, and I think we have somebody

01:18:33.446 --> 01:18:37.466
in the comments as well, with the, with
the rectangle that says pause AI, need

01:18:37.496 --> 01:18:42.186
to understand that when you are pausing,
you are literally killing humans- Mm-hmm.

01:18:42.796 --> 01:18:44.986
It's the same thing with autonomous
driving, the same thing with, like,

01:18:44.986 --> 01:18:46.196
a bunch of other technologies.

01:18:46.476 --> 01:18:49.956
If you want to pause, you should
acknowledge that you're effectively

01:18:49.956 --> 01:18:52.806
killing millions of people who
this will help very, very soon.

01:18:53.086 --> 01:18:58.706
And if AI can solve fucking Navier-Stokes,
AI can do personal, you know,

01:18:58.706 --> 01:19:02.856
personalized vaccines for any, any
type of disease that's coming to us.

01:19:02.886 --> 01:19:04.606
I personally wanna live longer.

01:19:04.606 --> 01:19:05.136
I don't wanna die.

01:19:05.136 --> 01:19:05.936
I don't want our kids to die.

01:19:06.086 --> 01:19:07.346
and I think AI's gonna bring us there.

01:19:07.356 --> 01:19:10.946
Nisten, please, tell us, your
thoughts on this matter, and

01:19:10.946 --> 01:19:12.286
then, we can move on a little bit.

01:19:13.336 --> 01:19:16.126
Nisten Tahiraj: A lot of these views
comes from people think that we've ran

01:19:16.146 --> 01:19:19.906
out of problems to solve, and even here
in Canada, where we have very high life

01:19:19.906 --> 01:19:24.326
expectancy and a good healthcare system,
there's literal people just dying in

01:19:24.326 --> 01:19:27.886
the ER, and there are two million people
in Ontario without a family doctor.

01:19:28.076 --> 01:19:32.446
Like, they could use more
AI for, for medicine.

01:19:32.586 --> 01:19:36.176
And it also goes that we don't
live in farms anymore, so there's

01:19:36.176 --> 01:19:37.686
no incentive to have kids.

01:19:38.066 --> 01:19:41.866
And, we're gonna have about three
billion seniors in the world, so we're

01:19:41.866 --> 01:19:45.786
gonna need a lot more robots, and
those are gonna need AI and stuff.

01:19:46.146 --> 01:19:49.126
So we're nowhere to the point
where we're running out of

01:19:49.236 --> 01:19:51.426
problems to solve In the world.

01:19:51.536 --> 01:19:59.646
I find it very interesting that in the
year 1485, Sultan Bayezid II banned the

01:19:59.646 --> 01:20:02.416
printing press, the, the Gutenberg press.

01:20:02.756 --> 01:20:06.296
And, he had pretty good safety reasons
too, because, you know, books can

01:20:06.296 --> 01:20:10.666
program people and, people can start
to, to revolt and change their minds and

01:20:10.666 --> 01:20:15.726
that puts, the strength of the empire
re- the Ottoman Empire down, and they

01:20:15.726 --> 01:20:18.956
live in a very hostile environment, so
that could get a lot of people killed.

01:20:18.966 --> 01:20:22.596
So for their safety, it made a
lot of sense to just ban books.

01:20:23.026 --> 01:20:25.956
just go full Bernie Sanders
and just ban all of them.

01:20:26.416 --> 01:20:30.286
And, he did that, and it's pretty
interesting because at that time,

01:20:30.346 --> 01:20:35.196
the Ottoman Empire, they had indoor
plumbing and, they had, like, much…

01:20:35.526 --> 01:20:39.976
Istanbul, it was a much nicer
city than most European cities.

01:20:40.266 --> 01:20:46.106
So after that point, everything started
just going downhill, and that's why I

01:20:46.106 --> 01:20:48.486
find this type of attitude is very…

01:20:48.896 --> 01:20:51.416
It's actually very dangerous long term.

01:20:51.916 --> 01:20:56.886
again, they're not talking about
solutions as to, you know, how do

01:20:56.886 --> 01:20:58.006
we stop more violence in the world?

01:20:58.016 --> 01:21:03.036
How do we make more robots that can,
like, fix potholes and repair run-down

01:21:03.036 --> 01:21:05.886
housing or, u- automate housing?

01:21:06.196 --> 01:21:11.396
And i- instead you see this media
campaign, which is, seems coordinated

01:21:11.626 --> 01:21:15.796
at, at the same time that this
guy was there for six weeks.

01:21:16.016 --> 01:21:18.776
That's before even your
probation period is, is done.

01:21:19.306 --> 01:21:24.966
and then at the same time, there is
another AI safety, thing on Joe Rogan.

01:21:25.276 --> 01:21:25.546
Mm-hmm.

01:21:25.546 --> 01:21:27.706
And there's also one on Channel 5 News.

01:21:27.716 --> 01:21:27.736
Mm-hmm.

01:21:27.756 --> 01:21:31.966
Which they were, like, very nice people,
but at the same time when they…

01:21:32.346 --> 01:21:37.266
Instead of advocating for how do we
actually give people local LLM so they

01:21:37.266 --> 01:21:41.776
can, fix their, their, their privacy, so
they can filter all the junk that's given

01:21:41.776 --> 01:21:45.996
to them, instead their solution to all of
the world's problems and the surveillance

01:21:46.016 --> 01:21:48.636
state was to just ban data centers.

01:21:48.976 --> 01:21:50.126
And, that's…

01:21:50.156 --> 01:21:53.996
It, it, it seems just completely
out of the blue as if they're

01:21:54.306 --> 01:21:55.606
paid to just say that.

01:21:55.746 --> 01:21:58.876
Alex Volkov: Because Jacob, Jacob
Coxon is a nobody on Twitter and

01:21:58.876 --> 01:22:00.906
suddenly over 100 million views.

01:22:01.246 --> 01:22:04.976
he's on Time, Variety, Wall Street
Journal, NBC and Fox and all the

01:22:04.986 --> 01:22:06.606
government officials are retweeting him.

01:22:07.156 --> 01:22:10.936
Paul Cristiano gets added to OpenAI board,
which I actually think is a great thing.

01:22:10.936 --> 01:22:14.696
It's just like the coincidence during that
same week is kind of interesting to me.

01:22:15.016 --> 01:22:16.886
Daniel Cocotallo is on Rogan.

01:22:16.886 --> 01:22:22.196
Daniel is a whistleblower from OpenAI
who refused his paycheck famously and

01:22:22.196 --> 01:22:26.546
then led OpenAI, to remove the clawback
thing they had for equity if somebody

01:22:26.546 --> 01:22:28.426
leaves and, and doesn't sign their NDA.

01:22:28.676 --> 01:22:30.976
Daniel, is also the author of, AI 2040

01:22:33.046 --> 01:22:35.216
or, or something like that,
2030, which talks about the,

01:22:35.226 --> 01:22:36.606
the potential outcomes of AI.

01:22:36.846 --> 01:22:39.856
and then OpenAI called Congress to
create mandatory national safety

01:22:39.856 --> 01:22:41.326
regulations, which again, I'm not against.

01:22:41.326 --> 01:22:42.956
I think, like it's very important to have.

01:22:43.156 --> 01:22:46.896
I just don't want this to be concentrated
in the hands of like a, a few labs.

01:22:47.176 --> 01:22:49.446
we are here to fight
doomerism on the show, folks.

01:22:49.476 --> 01:22:51.306
I think the AI can do much more.

01:22:51.356 --> 01:22:56.016
I think that, strong antom-
anthropomorphism is a problem.

01:22:56.016 --> 01:22:59.426
I think when people say the AI, they
mean that there's gonna be only one.

01:22:59.686 --> 01:23:00.556
I don't believe so.

01:23:00.576 --> 01:23:02.126
I believe there's gonna be multiple AIs.

01:23:02.126 --> 01:23:03.406
I'm gonna have my personal
superintelligence.

01:23:03.406 --> 01:23:04.246
It helps me.

01:23:04.406 --> 01:23:07.586
A- and so I think that there's a lot
of hand-waving things, and honestly,

01:23:07.586 --> 01:23:08.646
I think nobody fucking knows.

01:23:08.986 --> 01:23:13.336
Nobody fucking knows that Peter
Steinberger, a Austrian dude out

01:23:13.336 --> 01:23:17.216
of nowhere last year, based on his
home project, changed the world

01:23:17.266 --> 01:23:20.576
trajectory because he ran agents
in a very specific loop with very

01:23:20.576 --> 01:23:22.286
specific tools that now everybody runs.

01:23:22.476 --> 01:23:23.756
Nobody could have predicted that.

01:23:23.756 --> 01:23:26.176
Not Eliezer Yudkowsky, not Paul Cristiano.

01:23:26.216 --> 01:23:29.746
No one could have sat there and
said, "Hey, this is the way towards

01:23:29.746 --> 01:23:30.866
personal superintelligence."

01:23:31.236 --> 01:23:32.726
Literally no-- So no one knows.

01:23:32.836 --> 01:23:36.536
Yes, pe-fig- people can say we don't
know how to solve alignment, but also

01:23:36.536 --> 01:23:41.772
nobody knows that may- maybe there's
this one weird trick And so, I, I say

01:23:41.862 --> 01:23:44.682
that, like, it's very hard to predict.

01:23:45.052 --> 01:23:48.122
What I say is that, you know, the,
the, the advancements are happening.

01:23:48.232 --> 01:23:52.082
We might as well enjoy them, and I
really want, to see the best of it.

01:23:52.112 --> 01:23:56.482
Navio Stocks is one example this week I
think is a very interesting, externals,

01:23:57.122 --> 01:23:58.582
where Navio Stocks is one side.

01:23:58.622 --> 01:24:01.952
On the other side, hey, all of these
doomers are saying AI is killing us

01:24:01.952 --> 01:24:02.922
all, basically what are we doing?

01:24:02.932 --> 01:24:04.492
Let's stop, and nobody's stopping.

01:24:04.972 --> 01:24:06.732
No one has a plan of how to stop DeepSeek.

01:24:06.782 --> 01:24:10.462
Nobody has a plan of how to stop
the folks from Ablation AI that we

01:24:10.462 --> 01:24:13.432
had last week on the show that are
taking open source models, removing

01:24:13.512 --> 01:24:17.542
all, but all considerable, besides
child safety stuff, removing all

01:24:17.542 --> 01:24:21.032
restrictions and putting it out there
for everybody else to hack each other.

01:24:21.192 --> 01:24:23.022
Wolfram Ravenwolf: Did you
hear anything, that anything

01:24:23.022 --> 01:24:24.682
happened after that came out?

01:24:24.722 --> 01:24:25.442
Nothing, right?

01:24:25.632 --> 01:24:26.082
Nothing

01:24:28.452 --> 01:24:33.992
And I think my P doom for AI is
much less than my P doom for humans.

01:24:34.002 --> 01:24:38.712
If you look at the world where
human, humanity has gone without AI,

01:24:38.712 --> 01:24:42.542
I think we should risk the chance
that with AI we will get something

01:24:42.672 --> 01:24:44.152
better if it's widely distributed

01:24:44.752 --> 01:24:49.072
Alex Volkov: All right, folks, I think,
the, we could fill a whole hours of debate

01:24:49.282 --> 01:24:52.792
Nisten Tahiraj: these are very
anti-democratic views and, the healthiest

01:24:52.792 --> 01:24:54.372
thing you can have is an ecosystem.

01:24:54.802 --> 01:25:00.062
so a monoculture is bad in any ecosystem,
whether silicon or, or organic based.

01:25:00.122 --> 01:25:02.652
And, still encryption works.

01:25:02.742 --> 01:25:05.232
If you want it to work, it does work.

01:25:05.292 --> 01:25:07.052
And that's the main tool we have.

01:25:07.052 --> 01:25:12.812
If we distribute it and we're able to
have these assistants that are loyal to

01:25:12.882 --> 01:25:18.192
us and can write their own encryption and
provide people privacy, they can do that.

01:25:18.502 --> 01:25:22.282
But that's not going to
happen if you just pull it…

01:25:22.512 --> 01:25:25.082
It's a very autocratic view that
this, "Oh, this is so dangerous.

01:25:25.472 --> 01:25:26.812
Only I can have the printing press."

01:25:27.302 --> 01:25:31.682
Like, you're just being another
15th century sultan now,

01:25:31.892 --> 01:25:33.542
and, that can go pretty bad.

01:25:34.252 --> 01:25:36.682
Alex Volkov: All right, folks, I
think, we've covered this thing enough.

01:25:36.722 --> 01:25:40.072
there's plenty of stuff to cover
in, in the big world, big labs,

01:25:40.072 --> 01:25:41.222
but, we will keep monitoring.

01:25:41.222 --> 01:25:43.262
We'll let you know if
anything major happens there.

01:25:43.522 --> 01:25:46.962
I think, we'll skip Apple's, event.

01:25:47.002 --> 01:25:48.152
That has nothing to do with AI.

01:25:48.172 --> 01:25:51.942
The only few things about the Apple
event with AI was, AirPods can now

01:25:51.962 --> 01:25:57.632
translate you, and Apple Watch will now
transcribe with AI and, and y- you have

01:25:57.632 --> 01:25:59.252
this, like, what did he say button.

01:25:59.472 --> 01:26:03.812
The Apple Watch continuously transcribes
on the device with no, cloud, and will

01:26:03.812 --> 01:26:05.782
tell you, "Oh, this person said this."

01:26:05.922 --> 01:26:06.832
I think that's super cool.

01:26:06.952 --> 01:26:09.572
also you'd be able to, like,
record everything, like all your

01:26:09.572 --> 01:26:12.102
meetings with Apple Watch, on
device, which is super cool.

01:26:12.262 --> 01:26:14.292
And obviously Siri AI that's coming.

01:26:14.602 --> 01:26:15.882
I've been using Siri AI.

01:26:15.882 --> 01:26:22.352
It's, it's pretty good, but it's nowhere
near the, the level of agentic user-facing

01:26:22.622 --> 01:26:25.312
AIs that we, are going to talk about next.

01:26:25.322 --> 01:26:30.902
So now let's move on to our, corner
of agentic AI, with, Do we have?

01:26:30.932 --> 01:26:31.502
Yeah, do we have…

01:26:31.562 --> 01:26:32.072
All right.

01:26:32.182 --> 01:26:38.642
this week, Meta came to us and said,
"Hey, do you know that thing, OpenClaw?

01:26:38.672 --> 01:26:39.742
Do you know that thing, Hermes?

01:26:39.802 --> 01:26:41.952
Do you know Grok Bot, Instinct, Town?

01:26:42.042 --> 01:26:42.312
All…"

01:26:42.322 --> 01:26:43.112
There's tons of them.

01:26:43.582 --> 01:26:45.642
here's our attempt at this.

01:26:45.842 --> 01:26:53.472
Meta introduces Muse, a free 24/7
proactive AI assistant agent that has

01:26:53.472 --> 01:26:58.692
its own browser, its own computer, and
is connected to your systems at Meta.

01:26:59.322 --> 01:27:05.052
Now, yes, folks, this is the same Meta
that, was Facebook before, that people

01:27:05.062 --> 01:27:09.312
are very much worried about taking their
data and training on it, et cetera.

01:27:09.322 --> 01:27:10.542
Th- this is, like, the same Meta.

01:27:10.552 --> 01:27:14.512
However, I feel like that was a
meme a long time ago and, Mark

01:27:14.512 --> 01:27:17.862
Zuckerberg is not to be disrespected.

01:27:18.742 --> 01:27:22.872
Because after the Llama 3 and open
sourcing everything, he literally

01:27:22.872 --> 01:27:27.582
just, like, took his money cannon
and, and directed this money cannon

01:27:27.582 --> 01:27:31.402
towards this problem, and Meta has
been just incredible at products.

01:27:31.402 --> 01:27:33.022
Meta Muse Spark 1.3

01:27:33.252 --> 01:27:36.802
from last week is the second
winner from last week.

01:27:36.832 --> 01:27:39.702
Last week, Astra was announced,
and Meta Muse Spark is one of

01:27:39.712 --> 01:27:41.442
the top, you know, somehow.

01:27:41.712 --> 01:27:43.432
nobody still counts them.

01:27:43.432 --> 01:27:46.752
Like, we still don't see charts from
DeepSeek and Anthropic and OpenAI

01:27:46.782 --> 01:27:49.762
that are adding Meta Muse Spark,
but they should because it's coming.

01:27:49.982 --> 01:27:54.102
And Watermelon, which is their
much bigger, size model, is coming.

01:27:55.082 --> 01:27:59.162
But also products coming, and
nobody does distributions like Meta.

01:27:59.162 --> 01:28:00.902
Like, you know, we, we
talked about Google.

01:28:00.912 --> 01:28:04.332
Google's the fact that agentic AI
completely, completely fizzled.

01:28:04.432 --> 01:28:08.672
Gemini Spark is nowhere
nearly usable at all.

01:28:08.672 --> 01:28:11.942
Meta knocked it out the
fucking park with Muse.

01:28:11.982 --> 01:28:16.362
I've been using Muse only for one
day, and I can already tell you this

01:28:16.382 --> 01:28:20.992
is going to change many people's
lives given where it's at already

01:28:21.282 --> 01:28:23.212
and given how good it is already.

01:28:23.562 --> 01:28:25.232
And yes, again, I'm
talking about Facebook.

01:28:26.082 --> 01:28:26.802
It's ridiculous.

01:28:27.032 --> 01:28:28.752
But I'm not talking
about just all Facebook.

01:28:28.812 --> 01:28:32.132
I'm talking about the MSL labs
in Meta that paid billions of

01:28:32.132 --> 01:28:33.622
dollars to people to move forward.

01:28:34.392 --> 01:28:38.472
the MSL labs that took Nat Friedman and
Daniel Gross together, two of the more

01:28:38.472 --> 01:28:39.952
prolific investors in Silicon Valley.

01:28:39.992 --> 01:28:43.566
Nat Friedman used to, own,
GitHub, gr- like, CEO of GitHub.

01:28:44.406 --> 01:28:47.596
I'm talking about Meta who bought
Manus and then had to say, sell

01:28:47.596 --> 01:28:51.216
Manus back to China because of
anti-regulation, stuff in China.

01:28:52.216 --> 01:28:52.956
Meta built Muse.

01:28:52.966 --> 01:28:54.036
So let's take a look at Muse.

01:28:54.076 --> 01:28:56.056
Anybody try Muse already besides me?

01:28:57.958 --> 01:28:59.358
Anybody in the comments tried Muse?

01:29:00.428 --> 01:29:01.008
A little bit.

01:29:01.008 --> 01:29:01.358
A little bit All right.

01:29:01.998 --> 01:29:02.858
this is Muse, folks.

01:29:02.898 --> 01:29:04.458
and I will show you Muse.

01:29:05.128 --> 01:29:08.318
Let's see if I can pull
up Muse, correctly.

01:29:08.488 --> 01:29:11.278
My Muse, by the way,
obviously is called Wilfred.

01:29:11.818 --> 01:29:15.208
As you might imagine, it's been Wilfred
since a while so,'cause I imported it.

01:29:15.278 --> 01:29:16.278
let's take a look at Muse.

01:29:17.318 --> 01:29:19.888
So here, this is what we are seeing.

01:29:19.898 --> 01:29:24.698
We're seeing this, interface, and,
specifically here, as you guys

01:29:24.698 --> 01:29:28.968
remember from previous ThursdAIs,
we're seeing the producer, the, the

01:29:28.988 --> 01:29:33.118
Muse agent that listens to our show
and knows what we're talking about.

01:29:33.118 --> 01:29:38.138
So in a second, I will ask Muse to
kinda introduce itself, and reply to

01:29:38.138 --> 01:29:39.478
me, and hopefully Muse will listen.

01:29:39.798 --> 01:29:41.138
But, this is the interface.

01:29:41.878 --> 01:29:43.808
You can animate your own character.

01:29:44.108 --> 01:29:45.518
They added animations.

01:29:45.538 --> 01:29:47.918
You can just tell it, "Hey, I
want you to look like this."

01:29:47.918 --> 01:29:50.648
So I said, bionic wolf,
and they, have animations.

01:29:50.658 --> 01:29:52.038
Then you guys see the connected thing?

01:29:52.538 --> 01:29:53.148
This changes.

01:29:53.158 --> 01:30:00.638
So, look up, my co-hosts X, Twitter
accounts and show them to me.

01:30:01.078 --> 01:30:04.058
Once I send the query, you can
see that, like, it's working.

01:30:04.458 --> 01:30:08.738
It's not showing you what, CRL
commands or bash commands it runs.

01:30:08.738 --> 01:30:09.598
It just says working.

01:30:09.598 --> 01:30:10.218
Searching the web.

01:30:10.218 --> 01:30:11.198
Searching X accounts.

01:30:11.738 --> 01:30:13.328
It-- This is very, like, approachable.

01:30:13.338 --> 01:30:17.948
Many folks who I installed OpenClaw and
Hermes, et cetera, they need exactly this.

01:30:18.528 --> 01:30:19.898
It's also stupid fast.

01:30:19.908 --> 01:30:23.378
Do you guys see how quickly it
pulled up all of your, handles?

01:30:23.418 --> 01:30:24.658
and it got all of them right.

01:30:24.678 --> 01:30:25.708
where's LDJ?

01:30:25.788 --> 01:30:27.178
Where is LDJ?

01:30:28.058 --> 01:30:29.438
Why didn't you pull up LDJ?

01:30:29.628 --> 01:30:30.458
let's find LDJ.

01:30:30.488 --> 01:30:33.538
But here is the number of
actions it took to get this.

01:30:33.708 --> 01:30:34.348
You guys see this?

01:30:34.658 --> 01:30:36.358
Read, read, read, read, read, read.

01:30:36.538 --> 01:30:39.538
it, it manages memory in
people, so it knows who you are.

01:30:39.558 --> 01:30:40.218
Once you talk…

01:30:40.618 --> 01:30:40.958
you're right.

01:30:40.968 --> 01:30:41.978
LDJ is co-host list.

01:30:42.008 --> 01:30:42.658
LDJ confirmed.

01:30:42.998 --> 01:30:43.778
saved him too.

01:30:45.508 --> 01:30:49.838
The speed of Meta Muse Spark with
this is the first thing that you get.

01:30:49.988 --> 01:30:52.358
Now, I will say about speed, I
thought about it this morning.

01:30:52.358 --> 01:30:54.008
Grok was also very fast in the beginning.

01:30:54.008 --> 01:30:55.168
Now Grok is a little bit slower.

01:30:55.558 --> 01:30:59.008
Instinct, another AI system, was
fast, now it's a little bit slower.

01:30:59.148 --> 01:31:02.028
speed can vary with the amount
of people that use the product,

01:31:02.028 --> 01:31:04.698
so, like, judging the speed only
in the start is not that great.

01:31:04.778 --> 01:31:07.108
However, it is-- it does feel very fast.

01:31:07.558 --> 01:31:12.068
It does feel very approachable, and it
has, things from, You guys will like this.

01:31:12.088 --> 01:31:14.028
It has things from, from OpenClaw.

01:31:14.328 --> 01:31:15.678
It has a soul MD file.

01:31:15.888 --> 01:31:18.338
There's an MD file that
talks about its soul

01:31:20.376 --> 01:31:22.846
generally helpful, not
performantly helpful.

01:31:23.676 --> 01:31:25.146
actual file that they look in.

01:31:25.416 --> 01:31:27.676
They have a memory file, which
I won't show you because it

01:31:27.706 --> 01:31:31.396
includes all my memories, because
I exported it from all my previous

01:31:31.396 --> 01:31:32.736
assistants and imported it here.

01:31:33.246 --> 01:31:35.686
And, a- and the computer
use is really good.

01:31:35.736 --> 01:31:39.336
Like, it does the clicks and the
computer use stuff very, very, very well.

01:31:39.966 --> 01:31:44.886
So setting this assistant up to be our
producer for the show this week, is…

01:31:44.916 --> 01:31:45.596
was very easy.

01:31:45.656 --> 01:31:47.926
And now it says, "New Chiron is up.

01:31:47.956 --> 01:31:51.236
MetaMuse personal agent on Linux
VM, native Stripe link kicker."

01:31:51.396 --> 01:31:54.456
So it puts up kinda the, the stuff
that we talked about on the show,

01:31:54.616 --> 01:31:56.406
it puts up live on the, on the page.

01:31:57.976 --> 01:31:59.256
what else can I tell you about this?

01:31:59.946 --> 01:32:03.256
It's really nice in terms
of connectors as well.

01:32:03.346 --> 01:32:05.366
One of the things that I've
told you previously on the

01:32:05.366 --> 01:32:06.506
show, that I use Stripe link.

01:32:06.516 --> 01:32:10.076
Stripe link has an agent thing
that allows you to buy things.

01:32:10.106 --> 01:32:13.606
Basically, give your agent a
credit card safely so that you…

01:32:13.626 --> 01:32:14.956
n- not your actual credit card.

01:32:15.226 --> 01:32:22.236
Meta has a Stripe link integration, Stripe
has, an integration here, and y- yeah,

01:32:22.236 --> 01:32:25.086
this doesn't show it because, like, they
take it away, but basically every time

01:32:25.086 --> 01:32:28.576
you wanna spend some mon- you want your
agent to spend some money, you tell it to

01:32:28.576 --> 01:32:30.386
go and buy, and it will show you a card.

01:32:30.956 --> 01:32:32.266
"Will you approve this purchase?"

01:32:32.356 --> 01:32:35.746
they take your credit card, and they
charge only, like, a credit card that you

01:32:35.746 --> 01:32:39.836
don't own, basically, making it safe for
your agent to p- purchase this for you.

01:32:40.176 --> 01:32:41.916
I've used Stripe link on multiple agents.

01:32:41.946 --> 01:32:44.226
This one is the first that was,
like, built natively, integrated

01:32:44.256 --> 01:32:46.936
natively, and, is feel safe.

01:32:48.276 --> 01:32:49.076
Wolfram Ravenwolf: this is free?

01:32:49.606 --> 01:32:49.806
Alex Volkov: Yes.

01:32:49.856 --> 01:32:51.316
Wolfram Ravenwolf: Meta
provide this for free.

01:32:51.326 --> 01:32:51.356
Yes.

01:32:51.356 --> 01:32:52.176
What are the limits?

01:32:52.196 --> 01:32:53.136
What are the, the daily limits or stuff?

01:32:53.136 --> 01:32:55.966
Alex Volkov: 100 million tokens
per week- Uh-huh … for free.

01:32:56.246 --> 01:32:59.526
as- which is, which is pretty
nuts if you think about this,

01:32:59.736 --> 01:33:01.076
because, Groq is not free.

01:33:01.076 --> 01:33:03.456
You have to subscribe to Groq,
like, pro tier, et cetera.

01:33:04.376 --> 01:33:05.266
Zack has a money cannon.

01:33:05.626 --> 01:33:07.226
Now, a very important- And when you run

01:33:07.226 --> 01:33:09.116
Wolfram Ravenwolf: out,
what happens if you run out?

01:33:09.136 --> 01:33:09.436
Alex Volkov: You can pay.

01:33:09.436 --> 01:33:10.056
You can pay, yeah.

01:33:10.056 --> 01:33:10.626
You can upgrade.

01:33:10.716 --> 01:33:11.406
here's the thing.

01:33:11.416 --> 01:33:16.846
You go to Data Controls, and
then you uncheck this Help

01:33:16.866 --> 01:33:18.456
Improve Our AI Models checkbox.

01:33:18.796 --> 01:33:22.066
Make sure to do that so that
you don't inadvertently help

01:33:22.066 --> 01:33:23.316
them, train their models.

01:33:23.796 --> 01:33:26.046
And I wanna talk about security
next, but, questions and

01:33:26.046 --> 01:33:27.186
comments from the folks in the

01:33:27.186 --> 01:33:27.252
Wolfram Ravenwolf: conversation.

01:33:27.252 --> 01:33:28.146
I have one more question.

01:33:28.146 --> 01:33:30.576
So it's 100 million token per week.

01:33:31.896 --> 01:33:33.926
Okay, sounds like, like
much, but I just checked.

01:33:33.926 --> 01:33:35.136
I have more than that per day.

01:33:37.260 --> 01:33:37.500
Alex Volkov: Look,

01:33:38.070 --> 01:33:41.820
Yam Peleg: fir- first, I just wanna point
out the native connection to WhatsApp-

01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:43.040
Alex Volkov: Yes

01:33:43.040 --> 01:33:45.680
… 
Yam Peleg: which, which all the
other agents, doesn't matter,

01:33:45.740 --> 01:33:47.040
open source, closed source-

01:33:47.360 --> 01:33:47.600
Alex Volkov: Yeah

01:33:47.650 --> 01:33:51.490
… 
Yam Peleg: you always get a connection.

01:33:51.740 --> 01:33:54.490
Can just say it like that
because, it's not easy to get.

01:33:54.490 --> 01:33:55.850
W- WhatsApp is not Telegram.

01:33:56.360 --> 01:33:56.380
Yeah.

01:33:56.470 --> 01:34:00.100
but here, yeah, you get it from
the source, like absolutely native.

01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:02.263
Alex Volkov: the thing that I love
about this, Yam- I just wanna…

01:34:02.263 --> 01:34:04.780
Mm … is that you can talk about,
WhatsApp, and then you have this like

01:34:04.780 --> 01:34:07.810
channel with WhatsApp that's read
only, so view only on the desktop.

01:34:07.810 --> 01:34:09.450
So you can see your chat with WhatsApp.

01:34:09.450 --> 01:34:12.120
Like, you can, you can actually
see it on the desktop so that

01:34:12.130 --> 01:34:13.570
you know what you talked about.

01:34:13.580 --> 01:34:14.510
That's incredible.

01:34:14.550 --> 01:34:16.920
Yam Peleg: Does it have
access to my other chats?

01:34:16.920 --> 01:34:18.730
Like, can I ask questions about-

01:34:18.790 --> 01:34:19.310
Alex Volkov: Yeah, yeah … I

01:34:19.310 --> 01:34:21.000
Yam Peleg: don't know, see what I asked

01:34:21.380 --> 01:34:23.870
Alex Volkov: folks are asking, Tony's
asking in the comments, "How many

01:34:23.870 --> 01:34:25.550
agents does it have access to on Muse?"

01:34:25.790 --> 01:34:27.530
so this is a very interesting thing.

01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:32.270
Unlike Grok Bot, where Grok Bot,
like we told you, is a series of

01:34:32.570 --> 01:34:35.070
AI agents with their own definition
to talk to each other, there

01:34:35.070 --> 01:34:37.660
is one main chat here in Muse.

01:34:37.700 --> 01:34:40.180
That's a very good decision for
many folks 'cause they're not ready

01:34:40.180 --> 01:34:41.680
for multi- multi-agents, main chat.

01:34:42.160 --> 01:34:43.710
And then there is, side chats.

01:34:43.720 --> 01:34:47.060
You can open as many side chats
as you want, and any one of them

01:34:47.060 --> 01:34:48.380
can be like a specific agents.

01:34:48.600 --> 01:34:51.190
All of them have, very
interesting, heartbeat thing.

01:34:51.190 --> 01:34:52.190
So there is a heartbeat.

01:34:52.540 --> 01:34:55.890
th- there is a heartbeat, and there
is a Chiron watch every minute.

01:34:55.890 --> 01:34:58.830
So this is the, the thing that makes
sure that it listens to our show

01:34:59.020 --> 01:35:02.040
and puts stuff up on the, Gyron,
Chiron, I don't know how to say this.

01:35:02.230 --> 01:35:03.610
you can define this, here.

01:35:03.700 --> 01:35:06.940
You can say, "Hey, I want heartbeat
every 15 seconds," 15 minutes.

01:35:07.670 --> 01:35:10.430
But I do think that at some point,
though, those agents will differ

01:35:10.890 --> 01:35:13.650
in the UI because the underlying
layer will be pretty much the same.

01:35:13.650 --> 01:35:14.500
They do the same stuff.

01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:16.380
They read your email, they
read your documents, et cetera.

01:35:16.640 --> 01:35:17.610
The UI is gonna matter.

01:35:17.890 --> 01:35:20.030
The stuff that I noticed
is the productivity.

01:35:20.030 --> 01:35:21.020
Let me scroll up a little bit.

01:35:21.430 --> 01:35:22.060
where is this?

01:35:22.060 --> 01:35:22.173
Where

01:35:22.173 --> 01:35:22.400
Yam Peleg: is this?

01:35:22.400 --> 01:35:25.000
I, I, I just wanna say, because
it's- This okay, continue, continue.

01:35:25.030 --> 01:35:28.150
Alex Volkov: I was just browsing,
and I saw, "I can plan Emma's

01:35:28.170 --> 01:35:29.350
birthday party for this weekend."

01:35:29.520 --> 01:35:31.760
My daughter, Emma, is
turning eight this weekend.

01:35:32.260 --> 01:35:35.000
Out of nowhere, and obviously,
I inputted my memory, so it

01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:36.260
knows the dates, et cetera.

01:35:36.480 --> 01:35:39.710
it also knows all your contacts if you
want to, which is also a novel thing.

01:35:39.710 --> 01:35:43.500
You can upload your contacts
connector via your iPhone, so like

01:35:43.500 --> 01:35:44.740
it has native iPhone connectors.

01:35:45.640 --> 01:35:47.390
You can connect Apple Health.

01:35:47.550 --> 01:35:49.190
You can connect Reminders.

01:35:49.280 --> 01:35:50.450
This is all novel, by the way.

01:35:50.450 --> 01:35:54.490
I don't know of any other agent right now
that you can natively connect via your

01:35:54.510 --> 01:35:56.690
iPhone connectors to the Apple ecosystem.

01:35:56.740 --> 01:35:57.210
That's great.

01:35:57.690 --> 01:35:58.890
So it knows my dates.

01:35:59.120 --> 01:36:02.480
It proactively said, "Hey, I can help
you plan Emma's party for this weekend."

01:36:03.238 --> 01:36:07.138
I told you that 2026 is the year
of proactive agents, and this

01:36:07.148 --> 01:36:08.348
proactivity just blew my mind.

01:36:08.548 --> 01:36:09.468
That's what I want.

01:36:09.498 --> 01:36:13.518
I want my agent to know things about
me and then suggest things to me.

01:36:13.648 --> 01:36:14.498
That's what I want.

01:36:14.558 --> 01:36:16.008
Grok Bot, I need to set this up.

01:36:16.038 --> 01:36:18.748
Instinct is pretty good at
this, but mostly they do-- they

01:36:18.748 --> 01:36:20.188
go off ba- reading the email.

01:36:20.388 --> 01:36:21.848
This seems like it goes further

01:36:24.176 --> 01:36:25.936
Ream, comments about this
before we go to the Meta- Yeah,

01:36:26.296 --> 01:36:27.656
yeah … Facebook data, thing?

01:36:28.596 --> 01:36:34.566
Yam Peleg: Look, I think the main question
is Which one supports which connections?

01:36:34.566 --> 01:36:36.146
Because you don't have full control.

01:36:36.146 --> 01:36:38.736
Now, it's not open source that
you can just do whatever you want,

01:36:38.756 --> 01:36:39.866
connect it to whatever you want.

01:36:39.866 --> 01:36:44.496
That's, like, the power of OpenClaw
was because it's a completely, open and

01:36:44.506 --> 01:36:48.256
free thing that you can just customize
and connect to whatever you want.

01:36:48.316 --> 01:36:53.026
Now, I think the c- the, the most
important question is, okay, what

01:36:53.026 --> 01:36:56.676
connection do I get from Groq, and
what connections do I get here?

01:36:56.676 --> 01:36:58.486
And I don't know, I'll, I'll decide.

01:36:58.656 --> 01:37:02.886
I mean, what you just explained is,
is really, sounds really good, but-

01:37:02.956 --> 01:37:03.226
Alex Volkov: Yeah

01:37:03.296 --> 01:37:05.546
Yam Peleg: do I have this elsewhere or no?

01:37:05.606 --> 01:37:07.446
I, I mean, what, what's
the actual difference?

01:37:07.506 --> 01:37:10.586
Alex Volkov: difference on, on features,
we cannot go into all differences

01:37:10.586 --> 01:37:13.826
right now, but, like you said, native
connectors, I think is a differentiator.

01:37:13.826 --> 01:37:16.016
WhatsApp, Facebook
Marketplace is a big one.

01:37:16.046 --> 01:37:18.026
Tons of people buy shit
on Facebook Marketplace.

01:37:18.196 --> 01:37:20.726
if you use other AI agents,
Facebook can block you because

01:37:20.736 --> 01:37:22.026
that they don't want other agents.

01:37:22.236 --> 01:37:24.606
Facebook has a competitive
advantage in, you cannot put

01:37:24.606 --> 01:37:25.506
them on WhatsApp, for example.

01:37:25.516 --> 01:37:26.246
It's not as easy.

01:37:26.346 --> 01:37:27.426
so th- there's that.

01:37:27.936 --> 01:37:29.606
The iPhone connectors is unique.

01:37:29.606 --> 01:37:31.216
I haven't seen this in any other places.

01:37:31.236 --> 01:37:32.796
the way they do this is, very interesting.

01:37:32.946 --> 01:37:35.266
So here you can connect to Apple
Health, your contacts, for example,

01:37:35.266 --> 01:37:36.336
so it would know all your contacts.

01:37:36.676 --> 01:37:39.286
But I think that the, the way
they're building this is very

01:37:39.286 --> 01:37:43.486
important, and Zack, went on Alex
Heath's, e- podcast and talked about

01:37:43.486 --> 01:37:45.216
specifically the safety stuff, okay?

01:37:45.426 --> 01:37:47.436
least privilege,
thoughtfulness, et cetera.

01:37:47.766 --> 01:37:51.296
They have a built-in sentinel,
I believe that it's called.

01:37:51.516 --> 01:37:52.576
this is the architecture, by the way.

01:37:52.626 --> 01:37:56.356
They have another LLM running there,
reading all the network requests

01:37:56.386 --> 01:38:00.966
coming out and in, making sure
that they're not, LLM, injections.

01:38:01.406 --> 01:38:04.006
They have a injection security.

01:38:04.026 --> 01:38:07.506
If you can prove that you got,
prompt injected via an email,

01:38:07.546 --> 01:38:10.036
you'll get, like, $130,000.

01:38:10.036 --> 01:38:14.046
They have very mi- … a lot, a lot
of money there for incentives of

01:38:14.066 --> 01:38:16.956
whether or not this, you know, this
can be fucked with, or somebody can

01:38:16.956 --> 01:38:18.786
send you an email and, and screw you.

01:38:19.196 --> 01:38:21.366
Wolfram Ravenwolf: Meta had also
the safeguard models and so on,

01:38:21.516 --> 01:38:22.786
so it's probably using those.

01:38:22.986 --> 01:38:26.036
And the funny thing or ironic
thing is that Peter Steinberger was

01:38:26.076 --> 01:38:29.791
offered to join OpenAI or join Meta-
Yeah … and he talked to, Zuckerberg.

01:38:29.791 --> 01:38:33.576
So Zuckerberg seems to be a great
fan of OpenClaw because this looks

01:38:33.576 --> 01:38:36.996
exactly like with the soul MD,
the memory MD, with the heartbeat.

01:38:37.246 --> 01:38:41.576
It feels exactly like if you took
OpenClaw, put it in a, in a hosted

01:38:41.576 --> 01:38:43.546
environment and improved the UI.

01:38:43.716 --> 01:38:44.026
I think,

01:38:44.506 --> 01:38:46.826
Alex Volkov: I think the level to
which Peter Steinberger changed

01:38:46.826 --> 01:38:49.320
the world is un- Described.

01:38:49.680 --> 01:38:53.200
It's really strongly resembles multiple
of the best things about OpenClaw.

01:38:53.510 --> 01:38:56.460
It also removes all of the
horrible things about OpenClaw.

01:38:56.520 --> 01:38:57.830
Speaker 4: You don't
need a Mac Mini at all.

01:38:57.840 --> 01:38:58.770
They have their own computer.

01:38:59.070 --> 01:39:02.050
Here, I wa-- the last thing that I wanna
talk about, not the last thing, but

01:39:02.060 --> 01:39:05.420
the, the most important thing I wanna
talk about here is the secure stuff.

01:39:05.590 --> 01:39:08.410
So we can talk about browsing, et
cetera, how they save your, keys.

01:39:08.410 --> 01:39:09.770
Alex Volkov: They don't
save them in plain text.

01:39:09.840 --> 01:39:11.250
the LLM does not see your keys.

01:39:11.250 --> 01:39:12.480
It's in secure storage.

01:39:12.760 --> 01:39:15.540
Muse Confidential VM, I think,
is the most important thing

01:39:15.550 --> 01:39:16.570
that we need to talk about here.

01:39:17.050 --> 01:39:18.870
they announced Muse Confidential VM.

01:39:19.380 --> 01:39:22.570
They say, "We believe that people should
be able to choose a fully private mode

01:39:22.570 --> 01:39:26.460
for personal agents, where even Meta or
any other service provider cannot see

01:39:26.610 --> 01:39:28.560
or grant access to your information."

01:39:29.874 --> 01:39:33.824
This is why we're investing significantly
in Muse Confidential VM and plan to

01:39:33.834 --> 01:39:35.574
deliver this capability later this year.

01:39:35.764 --> 01:39:40.404
Muse Confidential VM is intended to be
cryptographically and verifiably prevent

01:39:40.604 --> 01:39:42.074
Meta from accessing data in your VM.

01:39:42.104 --> 01:39:44.904
already using the system with a small
group of trusted testers, and we've begun

01:39:44.904 --> 01:39:48.774
making our design and the source code for
the system available to external auditors.

01:39:49.194 --> 01:39:51.154
We're in the process of
taking auditor feedback.

01:39:51.164 --> 01:39:54.444
Once launched, we have a continuous
audit of the system that will be

01:39:54.454 --> 01:39:55.694
visible and inspected by anyone.

01:39:55.764 --> 01:39:58.694
Experts will be able to confirm that
Meta does not have the ability to

01:39:58.714 --> 01:40:01.104
access data within the VM environment.

01:40:01.584 --> 01:40:04.884
We also welcome security privacy expert
to reach out to us about early access."

01:40:05.114 --> 01:40:09.434
Zuck, talked about on the podcast is
Moxie Marlinspike, the founder of Signal,

01:40:09.464 --> 01:40:13.164
which is notoriously known as one of
the most, secure messaging platforms

01:40:13.164 --> 01:40:14.714
out there, was recruited by them.

01:40:14.794 --> 01:40:18.044
Nat Friedman recruited Moxie Sp-
Marlinspike to work on the secure VM.

01:40:18.904 --> 01:40:23.214
This, to me, kills all of the stuff
about, "Hey, Meta," blah, blah, blah,

01:40:23.214 --> 01:40:25.194
"take your data," just completely…

01:40:25.224 --> 01:40:27.774
Th- this is more secure than my Mac Mini.

01:40:28.074 --> 01:40:32.164
Because Mac Mini is not verifiably secure,
and it's not being continuously tested.

01:40:32.754 --> 01:40:36.014
I think that this, to me,
puts to rest about data.

01:40:36.324 --> 01:40:37.374
They know the meme.

01:40:37.584 --> 01:40:40.659
They understand the people know that,
Facebook has access to everything,

01:40:40.879 --> 01:40:44.359
and, they take this very, very,
very seriously, more seriously

01:40:44.359 --> 01:40:45.959
than anybody that I've seen before.

01:40:46.459 --> 01:40:51.949
Zuck is not by mistake after 18
years still at the helm of one of

01:40:51.949 --> 01:40:53.039
the biggest companies in the world.

01:40:53.349 --> 01:40:57.699
And the super intelligence efforts
that, Meta is going towards, Zuck

01:40:57.699 --> 01:40:58.819
is very, like, open about them.

01:40:59.099 --> 01:41:03.419
Personal super intelligence should be
personal and beholden to you, and, Muse

01:41:03.429 --> 01:41:04.639
seems to be, like, the first step there.

01:41:04.869 --> 01:41:05.619
Wolfram Ravenwolf: I'm super excited.

01:41:05.629 --> 01:41:08.999
You know how deeply invested I'm in
the Hermes eco- ecosystem with all the

01:41:09.009 --> 01:41:13.259
patches and so on, but I will share this,
architecture diagram with my agent and see

01:41:13.259 --> 01:41:15.099
if it can improve our own setup that way.

01:41:15.299 --> 01:41:15.319
Yeah.

01:41:15.329 --> 01:41:18.989
And I think the, the confidential
computing aspect, that is super

01:41:18.999 --> 01:41:22.489
important and a good precedent that
hopefully others will follow because

01:41:22.489 --> 01:41:23.909
we are sharing so much personal…

01:41:24.129 --> 01:41:26.719
The most personal data we are
sharing with our own agents.

01:41:26.719 --> 01:41:26.759
Everything is in there.

01:41:26.759 --> 01:41:27.209
Everything is in there.

01:41:27.209 --> 01:41:27.259
Health data, personal
problems, everything.

01:41:27.309 --> 01:41:30.299
And this is, like a, like an
attorney, like a psychologist,

01:41:30.589 --> 01:41:32.989
that kind of information, it
should get more protection.

01:41:33.449 --> 01:41:38.079
That is something rarely discussed, but
having ways in that direction, moves in

01:41:38.089 --> 01:41:39.769
that direction, I fully support that.

01:41:39.949 --> 01:41:40.259
Alex Volkov: Yeah.

01:41:41.087 --> 01:41:44.147
So folks, give, M-Muse a try at muse.ai

01:41:44.157 --> 01:41:45.507
and tell us, what you think.

01:41:45.547 --> 01:41:47.437
as a reminder before, we're
almost at the end of the show.

01:41:47.677 --> 01:41:51.477
Token Juice, if you want DeepSeek
for free, but you're okay with

01:41:51.477 --> 01:41:54.267
sharing your data, Token Juice,
from Aaron Batie, a friend of the

01:41:54.267 --> 01:41:56.117
pod, will get you that as well.

01:41:56.277 --> 01:41:59.467
if you wanna join us,
September and see Pitbull, Mr.

01:41:59.467 --> 01:42:00.437
305, Mr.

01:42:00.437 --> 01:42:01.997
Worldwide, please, please join.

01:42:02.007 --> 01:42:02.917
This is gonna be super cool.

01:42:03.267 --> 01:42:05.947
I wish it was in Miami also, not in
San Francisco, because this would fit.

01:42:06.267 --> 01:42:07.867
And, I think we covered
pretty much everything.

01:42:07.867 --> 01:42:11.107
with that, I think we've covered, like,
a very decent chunk for this week.

01:42:11.157 --> 01:42:13.737
Wolfram Ravenwolf, Nisten
Tahiri, LDJ confirmed.

01:42:14.817 --> 01:42:16.017
LDJ's last name is confirmed.

01:42:16.407 --> 01:42:18.127
and, and Yam Peleg, thank you so much.

01:42:18.127 --> 01:42:21.637
We also had Chris Alexius here
from NVIDIA talk about DeepSeek.

01:42:21.867 --> 01:42:26.077
if you missed any part of the
show, the full replay is going

01:42:26.077 --> 01:42:29.247
to be available on ThursdAI.live,

01:42:29.617 --> 01:42:32.877
and, please check it out,
vibe coded with Fable myself.

01:42:33.207 --> 01:42:38.367
And, if, if you want the links to sources
like the Nisten simulator of DeepSeek

01:42:38.657 --> 01:42:43.347
layers, or Nisten, please add the Astra
Mars, simulation as well in the link.

01:42:43.537 --> 01:42:46.017
we will send them to you-
Oh … on ThursdAI.news
