> How much do you want incumbent multi-decade culprits to pay?

You are clearly not grasping the magnitude change in how many satellites we used to launch vs how many we are launching nowadays.

In 2026, we are putting 10x as many objects in space as we did just 8 years ago, with Starlink being the bulk of it: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/yearly-number-of-objects-....

Starlink has 12.5k satellites in space and looking to ramp up massively, the biggest "multi-decade incumbent", oneweb, has 5% as many, about 600.

> I wonder why they haven’t simply continued to rebrand Codex as a general-purpose tool.

They have, if you try to download ChatGPT app, it actually downloads codex now, and the first screen is "Codex is now the ChatGPT App"

Mbappe is 1st in the golden boot race specifically because on top of his 7 goals he has 2 assists to break the tie. Thats the most number of assists (tied with 3 other players) of all the top 20 scorers in the golden boot race [0].

But ok.

How has France no cohesion? It just so happens that they have enough superstars to fill the entire roster. You can remove their top 3 best players and they would still be one of the favorite to win. Cohesion and superstars are not mutually exclusive.

Everything can be represented as f(), a full scale SotA transformer model is also just f(context). That does not mean one layer is sufficient. It all depends on the level of expressivity required by this f to be a good model.

Meta Spark is rumored to have distilled Claude to some extent, early Gemini models as well. I think the biggest factor is that Chinese companies arent really afraid of being sued by Anthropic because the juridictions are so disconnected. European/US companies don't have the same protection.

> Why a randomized reservation order? [...] we wanted to create a system that would be less frustrating and more fair for everyone. A launch that starts at a specific day and time tends to reward bots, people with fast internet connections, talented gaming fingers for quick F5/refresh reactions, and those who can schedule their life around that moment. By accepting reservation signups over the course of a few days, without any incentive to be first, we're hoping to take away some of that friction.

This is nice.

Thinking is implemented as regular autoregressive generations by everyone, meaning its just regular tokens, but they appear between <thinking></thinking> special tokens which are then programmatically removed from what the user can actually see.

Idea somewhat similar to what you describe exist but they make steering/post-training/interpretation much harder.

This is lacking any nuance. The CEO not being invited to a meaningless ceremony vs being designated a supply chain risk by the DoD and being forced to shut down your product. Use judgment.

Do you understand that when you raise money it doesn't go into your personal account? Its not like you can move this money in your retirement account and sail into the sunset.

Yes and no. Yes from a user PoV, I don't really see a great reason to use this other than for enterprises that care about using a model not trained on copyrighted data (not sure what the market really is for this anymore, feels like this concern has been forgotten by most customers).

From a strategic PoV for MS, all the models you cited are distilling GPT/Claude/Gemini and wouldn't be anywhere as good as they are without this distillation, which in turn means you are dependent on OAI/Anthropic/G first shipping a good model to generate data for your training. This MAI model is trained from scratch with no synthetic data or distillation. So in term of benchmark its obviously much harder to get strong score and thus not a disaster if they can keep on improving.

The difference is the 300 MW are real, the 50GW are printed on some paper and don’t exist.

There aren’t that many 300MW+ datacenter in the world, relative to the capacity Anthropic has online, it’s a lot, probably in the 20% range.

« Rotary Actuators (The "Reflected Inertia" Trap) », « Quasi-Direct Drive (QDD) — The "Cheetah" Approach «

The pattern ‘something — The « metaphor » <qualifier> ‘ screams Gemini. Gemini seem completely unable to generate a section title that doesn’t follow this annoying pattern.

We would need 1000x faster, so that doesn’t really change anything.

> Cursor truly has the talent to train a frontier model on SpaceX's infrastructure, and were simply lacking the infra before

Wild conjecture.

What an inane comment that shows how unqualified you are to talk about this.

Shark is a group, great white shark is a species. The fact that the group has been alive for 400M years has no bearing on whether the currently alive species can actually adapt and survive. Some very likely will, the great white might not, that’s what the article is about.

Warmer water also means less oxygen, thus fish have to swim closer to the surface to get enough oxygen.
