Very delayed news, but back in November @tensorstax was acquired by @Snowflake.
Since then our team has been hard at work building Cortex Code, the current SOTA data agent.
I'll be sharing more of our work/research going forward around harness engineering, cloud sandboxes, eval environments, RL and much more.

Another example from the Snowflake earnings call of customers building workflows and applications directly on top of their data
Customer essentially rebuilt Gainsight in 5 hours
What if Snowflake isn’t a victim of the SaaSpocalypse but rather the assailant…

This is what we have been working on for the last 6 months or so at the AI Snowflake Research:
Zero Redundancy Rollouts (ZoRRo):

If you do RL and you want it to be much faster make sure to have a look.

If this is true, using the best public estimates we have of LLM resource use, solving this Erdos problem took 0.6–6.3 kWh of electricity and about 3–31 liters of water.
So that is less than three almonds worth of water and the electricity equivalent of 2-20 miles of EV driving.

I trained models across MacBooks using Apple's AirDrop protocol.
grove is a distributed training library for Apple Silicon. Devices discover each other over AWDL, a direct radio link. If there's a shared WiFi network it upgrades to that for speed, otherwise everything goes over the direct link. No router, no cloud, no setup.

imagine running @openclaw on one of these
13 Nov 2025
Starcloud (@Starcloud_Inc1) recently made history by launching a satellite with an NVIDIA H100 into orbit — the first time a GPU that powerful has ever operated in space. It's the first step toward building AI data centers in orbit, powered by continuous sunlight and cooled by radiating heat into deep space.
Their approach could one day rival the world's biggest data centers while using less energy, zero fresh water, and far lower emissions.
YC's @aaron_epstein visited Starcloud's HQ, where co-founders @philipjohnston, @EzraFeilden, and @Adi_Oltean explained how they built a working prototype in just 15 months — and why big tech is racing to space for AI compute.

A major barrier to reliable text-to-SQL is that instruction ambiguity is invisible and unmanaged. Our work introduces an entropy-based ambiguity metric, making it possible to systematically evaluate when instructions are underspecified and why LLMs fail.

a lot of universities will go out of business over the next 2 decades
Niall Ferguson says universities have quietly accepted that all students will use AI to cheat.
His proposal: Build a firewall. Call it “The Cloister.”
A physical zone with no devices. Printed books, handwritten essays, oral exams.
He wants to flip the norm: 7 hours a day inside The Cloister. More time with pens than prompts.

One of my biggest regrets is how stressful I allowed my career to be. I worried constantly while on the path to becoming an Amazon VP. Let me save you some stress. Career growth requires:
