ChatGPT-5, “Draw Sam Altman with three arms, sweeping the word scaling under a rug”A brief update:Some battles no longer need fighting. The notion on which this Substack was founded in May 2022 — that LLM scaling would not bring us to AGI — has gone mainstream. Even Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp, has apparently gone full Gary Marcus:Perhaps I also no longer need to warn people that the idea that coding would disappear soon is bullshit. Anyone remember this prediction from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei back in March? Some journalists I could name seem to take it seriously at the time. (I…

Summary Google has begun the rollout of Writing Tools, an AI-powered feature found within the company’s GBoard software keyboard. Writing Tools uses generative AI to spell check and rephrase written text, doing so entirely offline using the Gemini Nano v2 model or higher. You can access Writing Tools from within Gboard’s quick access strip located at the top of the virtual keyboard. After first launching Writing Tools alongside its new Pixel 10 series of smartphones, Google is now expanding the rollout of the feature across a broader range of Android devices. Writing Tools — which is baked into Google’s first-party…

A fundamental dilemma in generative modeling persists: iterative diffusion models achieve outstanding fidelity, but at a significant computational cost, while efficient few-step alternatives are constrained by a hard quality ceiling. This conflict between generation steps and output quality arises from restrictive training objectives that focus exclusively on either infinitesimal dynamics (PF-ODEs) or direct endpoint prediction. We address this challenge by introducing an exact, continuous-time dynamics equation that analytically defines state transitions across any finite time interval. This leads to a novel generative paradigm, Transition Models (TiM), which adapt to arbitrary-step transitions, seamlessly traversing the generative trajectory from single leaps to…

This post is co-written by Jake Friedman, President + Co-founder of Wildlife. Amazon Nova is enhancing sports fan engagement through an immersive Formula 1 (F1)-inspired experience that turns traditional spectators into active participants. This post explores the Real-Time Race Track (RTRT), an interactive experience built using Amazon Nova in Amazon Bedrock, that lets fans design, customize, and share their own racing circuits. We highlight how generative AI capabilities come together to deliver strategic racing insights such as pit timing and tire choices, and interactive features like an AI voice assistant and a retro-style racing poster. Evolving fan expectations and the…

The artificial intelligence field is stirring once again, with reports that DeepSeek is secretly developing a new generation of agent models, drawing significant industry attention. According to insiders, this yet-to-be-named model is expected to be officially unveiled in the fourth quarter of this year, with its core highlight being the ability to complete complex tasks with minimal prompts and to evolve itself based on historical operations. Although the official response is still pending, signs of technological upgrades have already begun to emerge. In the DeepSeek-V3.1 version released in August, the development team applied a hybrid reasoning architecture for the first…

CEO Arthur Mensch is steering Mistral away from the AGI hype and toward Europe’s A.I. sovereignty. Photo by Ludovic Marin/AFP via Getty Images Paris-based Mistral AI is on track for a new funding round that would value the A.I. startup at 12 billion euros ($14 billion), Bloomberg reports. The investment, expected to total around 2 billion euros ($2.3 billion), would solidify the company’s position at the center of Europe’s sovereign A.I. strategy and bring it closer to its goal of challenging dominant U.S. rivals. Founded in 2023, Mistral has already raised some 1.1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) over the past…

On September 6, Zhiyuan Technology reported that last night, Alibaba launched the Preview version of its strongest model in the Qwen3 series, Qwen3-Max, which is also Alibaba’s largest model to date with over 1 trillion parameters. This model is now available on the Alibaba Bailian platform and can be used for free in the Tongyi Qianwen application and Qwen Chat. According to the Bailian platform, Qwen3-Max-Preview shows significant improvements over the Qwen2.5 series in overall general capabilities, including Chinese and English text understanding, complex instruction following, subjective open task capabilities, multilingual capabilities, and tool invocation abilities; the model has fewer…

The system is designed to lower latency in AI applications by pairing Nvidia’s accelerated computing and software with Cisco’s high-performance Ethernet networking In sum – what to know: Cisco expands Secure AI Factory with Nvidia – New infrastructure adds VAST Data integration to speed up retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines and support agentic AI at enterprise scale. Lower latency for AI workloads – AI PODs reduce RAG pipeline response times from minutes to seconds, helping agents access data faster and deliver more relevant, real-time business insights. Focus on security and governance – The system includes role-based access, audit readiness, and observability…

The tropical wave we’ve been following since last Thursday in this newsletter – designated Invest 91L by the National Hurricane Center early Thursday – is expected to become a tropical depression or named storm this weekend and could affect the easternmost islands of the Caribbean by the middle to latter part of next week.Leer en españolReliable suite of track guidance for Invest 91L as of Friday morning.
