<strong>Nvidia, Others in Talks for OpenAI Funding, Information Says (2 minute read)</strong>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon are in talks to invest as much as $60 million into OpenAI. The total round will contribute as much as $100 billion to OpenAI's funds, which could help alleviate investor concerns about OpenAI's cash burn while continuing the investment frenzy. OpenAI is also attempting to line up funding from top investors in the Middle East in a funding round that could total at least $50 billion. These talks are early, and the amounts could change.

Google has started rolling out its autonomous browsing agent to Chrome. The new features are accessible from the AI button, which will now default to a split-screen view. Users can still pop Gemini out into a floating window, but the split-view gives the tool more room to breathe while manipulating a page with AI. Gemini in Chrome can access and edit images with Nano Banana - users just have to open an image from the web and type in the side panel with a description of the edits they want.

<strong>Training a 67M-Parameter Transformer on an M4 Mac Mini (19 minute read)</strong>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
This paper takes a grounded look at what happens when you build a modern language model from first principles, train it on real data, and ask it to do something unforgiving. The author trained a 67-million-parameter transformer end-to-end on an M4 Mac Mini using Apple Silicon MPS - no discrete GPU, just 24 gigabytes of unified memory. The resulting model achieved 93.94% exact-match accuracy on CLI command generation.

<strong>Research After AI: Principles for Accelerated Exploration (9 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
AI integration in research transforms it from a tool to an embedded cognitive environment, accelerating exploration but demanding careful application and judgment. Researchers use AI to navigate complex problems, stress-test hypotheses, and facilitate code development and material synthesis, necessitating thoughtful oversight to prevent errors and misinterpretations. While AI speeds exploration, the responsibility for correctness, judgment, and ethical considerations remains with the human authors, addressing challenges of truth, authorship, and ethical implications.

<strong>Towards a science of scaling agent systems: When and why agent systems work (4 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Smarter models accelerate the need for multi-agent systems. However, the 'more agents' approach often hits a ceiling. It can even degrade performance if not aligned with the specific properties of the task. The next generation of AI agents needs to move from heuristics to quantitative principles to become more numerous, smarter, safer, and efficient.

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Several new Linux VPS services have popped up recently, all optimized to get users running from zero to 'machine running Claude Code' in a couple of minutes. They also handle the annoying bits of sharing web services, going beyond just the 'development' part and to the full end-to-end stack. These services are targeting developers who want frictionless access to machines without having to set up VMs, wrestle with containers, or configure certificates to show off prototypes. For many developers, it's nice to have something that just works.

<strong>Why AI Swarms Cannot Build Architecture (22 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Agents can be individually excellent but collectively incoherent. Two agents with identical training who independently come up with the same answer aren't coordinating, they're sampling from the same distribution. Swarms are parallel, independent, and stateless. They have no propagation mechanism, and scaling makes it worse. Adding global visibility, temporal persistence, and enforcement authority to a swarm would change it into a hierarchical system with stochastic workers, creating an architecture that allows for coordination.

<strong>World Models (15 minute read)</strong>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
The AI industry is turning its focus to world models, models that predict the next state observations. These models aim to understand the causal laws of an environment like a video game, codebase, or market. Companies have been working on similar models for decades under different names, but the bottleneck to the next step is now almost able to be overcome. The next AI era will require learning from the world directly through execution and outcomes.
