Today, @MichaelElabd, @QuantumArjun, and I are excited to announce Trajectory. We are a research lab and product company building the platform for Continual Learning. Our platform unlocks the signal already sitting in product usage, so companies can continuously post-train large-scale agentic models that outperform the frontier. @trajectorylabs We’ve raised $15M from @Conviction, @BessemerVP, @radicalvcfund, @jeffdean, @drfeifei and more. We’re partnering with some of the best AI-native companies: @ClayRunHQ @Harvey, @DecagonAI, @mercor_ai, @RogoAI to power their agentic systems, some of which we are already in production with. We’ve brought together a world class research team from DeepMind, OpenAI, Apple, Meta Superintelligence, Amazon AGI, Scale AI, and an elite product team from Stripe and Figma. AI will never again start on day one. Every correction, every retry, every edit will make products smarter. This is Continual Learning.

What do the smartest kids in the world do when they grow up? I did the largest study of ~18,000 International Olympiad medalists (IMO, IOI and IPhO) over the last 25yrs, arguably the sharpest analytical minds of the world in high school, to see where they ended up and traced ~50% of them. Founders of ~20 unicorns and ~7 decacorns and ~10 billionaires: OpenAI, Cursor, Stripe, Databricks, Perplexity, Ethereum, Cognition, Hyperliquid, Fireworks, Modal, Quora, Parallel, Cartesia, Wispr Most kids went to MIT, a whopping 12% of them, followed by Cambridge (7%) and Sharif (3%)! The career paths they chose (of those who graduated) were: — 36% Academia (professors) — 26% Other — 22% in Software / Tech — 12% in Quant / Finance — 5% Founders! The biggest employer was Google, by far, at 6%. Others interesting tidbits were: — 47 of them work at Jane Street (#3) — 38 at OpenAI (#5) — 15 at Anthropic — 8 at Cognition — 6 at Isomorphic Labs Olympiaders were 1500x more likely to be billionaires and 4000x more likely to be unicorn founders than the average person!

I like blockchain tech quite a bit because it extends open source to open source state, a genuine/exciting innovation in computing paradigms. I'm just sad and struggle to get over it coming packaged with so much braindead bs (get rich quick pumps/dumps/scams/spams/memes etc.). Ew

SpaceX’s AI arm is partnering with coding startup Cursor in a deal worth no less than $10 billion and as much as $60 billion. Can the pair topple the rising Anthropic-OpenAI AI coding axis? A lot of money is being bet that the answer is yes. Next up, @lons and @alex invited the @bitstarterAI team on the show to discuss their work to help kickstart new Bittensor subnets. The dynamic duo had a new program to announce, so make sure to tune into their pitch if you have dreams of launching your own subnet. Then we brought @TrajectoryRL onto the pod, a Bittensor subnet that holds competitions to improve agent skills. Yes, the markdown files that everyone who uses OpenClaw swears by. Hit play, let’s have some fun! 2:27 Plaud: If your work depends on conversations — interviews, meetings, calls — you need a Plaud NotePin. You can check it out at Plaud.ai/twist and use code TWIST for 10% off! 4:07 SpaceX/ xAI "partners" with Cursor! 9:35 Will the Cursor deal help pump a future SpaceX IPO? 9:57 LinkedIn Jobs - Hire right, the first time. Post your first job and get $100 off towards your job post at LinkedIn.com/twist. 12:14 How AI coding models like Cursor help xAI grow recursively. 17:24 Chris Zacharia and Brian McRindle of Bitstarter join the show. 20:23 Grasshopper Bank: Time is money. Don't waste either. Go to grasshopper.bank/twist and get an exclusive $500 cash bonus just for opening an account. 29:59 Notion - Notion brings all your notes, docs, and projects into one connected space that just works with AI built right in. Try Notion, with Notion Agent, at notion.com/twist 33:03 How Bittensor subnets monetize and how it compares to VC funds. 37:04 Is Bittensor hard-capped at 128 subnets? 42:37 Bittensor's biggest weakness. 46:10 Ning Ren of TrajectoryRL joins the show. 47:34 Skills now need entire agents just to write them! 48:26 Back up… What are skills? 1:07:38 Amazon and Anthropic's $5 BILLION deal 1:08:48 Google has 2 new chips! 1:09:50 Apple CEO, Tim is COOKED! John Ternus is in! 1:11:37 Alex is bullish on MacBook Neo! 🎥 Watch the full episode here 👇

meta harness is a great paper from @yoonholeee that came out earlier this week and is a great example of learning at the harness layer
