Tri Dao describes work on speeding up Muon optimizer by operating on the small square matrix X X^T instead of the large rectangular X, requiring months of understanding eigenvalues/eigenvectors to develop a simple, elegant algorithm.

It's my favorite kind of work: linear algebra insight + fast kernels. When playing w Muon a while ago, we were thinking why not speed it up by operating on the small square matrix X X^T instead of the large rectangular matrix X. Jack, Noah, and Berlin spent many months understanding eigenvalues/vectors of the intermediate matrices in Muon, and finally came up with a simple and elegant algo to make this work.

Clement Delangue announces that ggerganov and ggml_org are now part of the Hugging Face team, calling them unsung heroes of AI powering the most widely used open-source runtime for local AI.

So proud to have @ggerganov and @ggml_org part of the @huggingface team. One of the unsung heroes of AI, powering the most widely used open-source runtime for local AI!

Emollick argues that discussion of Jevon's Paradox in AI is oversimplified - the real issue is that agent-driven token demand is surging while compute is supply-constrained for powerful models, which will be reflected in pricing.

It is trendy to discuss Jevon's Paradox in AI (as AI gets more efficient, overall use increases) but the current situation is much simpler: thanks to agents, token demand is surging and compute is supply constrained, at least for powerful models. That will be reflected in pricing

Emollick comments on ARC-AGI-3, noting it's designed so AI scores zero today (just like earlier versions), and those earlier tests were mostly saturated within a year or two. The key question is whether we see similar progress on ARC-AGI-3.

This is true, but ARC-AGI-3 is also a test designed so that AI gets zero today, just as the earlier ARC-AGI tests were designed . Those tests were then mostly saturated with a year or two. The thing to watch with ARC-AGI-3 is whether we see the same progress.

Scobleizer claims a researcher at HF0 told him they took 'hands off' of AI training, letting AI do it all, with training speed increasing many times since. He extrapolates this to OpenClaw improving itself and predicts 'things are about to get weird in AI.'

I was told by one researcher at @HF0 in San Francisco that they took "hands off" of their AI training. Now AI does it all. Has already increased in speed many times, he told me, since doing that. Think about an OpenClaw improving itself all night long. Except on a much bigger scale. Things are about to get weird in AI.

François Chollet announces PokeeClaw by Pokee_AI: a secure alternative to OpenClaw with sandbox architecture, isolated environments, approval workflows, RBAC, and audit trails. Also lower token usage.

OpenClaw has proven that local AI assistants have product-market fit. But the big issue with them has been security. The team at @Pokee_AI is fixing it with PokeeClaw: works like OpenClaw, but with in a secure sandbox architecture with isolated environments, approval workflows, role-based access control, and audit trails built in. Also lower token usage, which is always nice.

Emollick shares data: average American worker using AI reports 6% time savings (2.5 hours/week), similar to UK/Netherlands, slightly more than other EU countries. Early signs this is translating into real productivity growth.

The average American worker using AI reports time savings of 6%, or 2.5 hours in a work week. Those are similar to the UK & Netherlands, and slightly more than other EU countries. There some early, non-causal, signs that this is translating into real gains in productivity growth t.co/XOspk4fp0Z

Emollick highlights that GPT-5.4 Pro and Thinking are very good at reading scientific papers, not just text but also identifying and visually inspecting key figures.

One of the things that is useful about the ChatGPT GPT-5.4 Pro (and also Thinking) harness is that it is quite good at understanding how to read scientific papers, not just relying on text, but also figuring out which figures are key and inspecting those visually. t.co/3jHFNWoieP

Clement argues it's time for open-source agent tools to rely primarily on open-source models instead of closed-source APIs, citing data privacy risks and potential for hacking/shutdowns.

bcherny details /loop and /schedule for automated Claude Code workflows: auto-babysitting PRs, Slack feedback loops, PR pruning, post-merge sweeping - all running continuously.

3/ Two of the most powerful features in Claude Code: /loop and /schedule Use these to schedule Claude to run automatically at a set interval, for up to a week at a time. I have a bunch of loops running locally:
  • /loop 5m /babysit, to auto-address code review, auto-rebase, and shepherd my PRs to production
  • /loop 30m /slack-feedback, to automatically put up PRs for Slack feedback every 30 mins
  • /loop /post-merge-sweeper to put up PRs to address code review comments I missed
  • /loop 1h /pr-p

Allie K Miller reacts to an Anthropic tweet (buried in replies) showcasing Claude's coding capabilities. She recounts a talk where a senior Fortune 500 developer questioned why he'd use AI to code, and she predicted this level of capability was coming. Notes scaling laws are holding up and next iterations will be even more capable.

This is an insane Anthropic tweet. And it’s a *buried reply* to one of their other tweets. I am reminded of a talk I gave ~2-3 months ago where a senior developer at a Fortune 500 company asked me “why would I use AI to code if I can just code myself.” I answered. He said, “But sometimes it messes up.” I told him this was coming. Even if it’s not perfect today (it makes weird product features decisions sometimes, not gonna lie), the scaling laws seem to be holding up this year and the ne
