Cardiologist wins 3rd place at Anthropic's hackathon. Out of 13,000 applications. Built in 7 days by Michał Nedoszytko MD. Coded day and night - in the hospital, in the cloud, while flying from Brussels to San Francisco. A few years ago, it would have been impossible for a doctor to build this alone in just a couple of days. AI changed that. The project is called postvisit.ai. It is an AI agentic care platform for patients. Including reverse AI scribe it is a companion that guides the patient from the moment they leave the doctor's office. Powered by the massive context window of Opus 4.6, it allows patients to explore their full medical history, connected devices, Evidence Based resources and external data sources — all in one place. Today, the barrier to entry has vanished; even a practicing physician can build an application from scratch.

GPT-5.2 derived a new result in theoretical physics. We’re releasing the result in a preprint with researchers from @the_IAS, @VanderbiltU, @Cambridge_Uni, and @Harvard. It shows that a gluon interaction many physicists expected would not occur can arise under specific conditions. openai.com/index/new-result-…

Today OpenAI announced o3, its next-gen reasoning model. We've worked with OpenAI to test it on ARC-AGI, and we believe it represents a significant breakthrough in getting AI to adapt to novel tasks. It scores 75.7% on the semi-private eval in low-compute mode (for $20 per task in compute ) and 87.5% in high-compute mode (thousands of $ per task). It's very expensive, but it's not just brute -- these capabilities are new territory and they demand serious scientific attention.

o3 is really special and everyone will need to update their intuition about what AI can/cannot do. while these are still early days, this system shows a genuine increase in intelligence, canaried by ARC-AGI semiprivate v1 scores: * GPT-2 (2019): 0% * GPT-3 (2020): 0% * GPT-4 (2023): 2% * GPT-4o (2024): 5% * o1-preview (2024): 21% * o1 high (2024): 32% * o1 Pro (2024): ~50% * o3 tuned low (2024): 76% * o3 tuned high (2024): 87% given i put in the original $1M @arcprize, i'd like to re-affirm my previous commitment. we will keep running the grand prize competition until an efficient 85% solution is open sourced. but our ambitions are greater! ARC Prize found its mission this year -- to be an enduring north star towards AGI. the ARC benchmark design principle is to be easy for humans, hard for AI and so long as there remain things in that category, there is more work to do for AGI. there are >100 tasks from the v1 family unsolved by o3 even on the high compute config which is very curious. successors to o3 will need to reckon with efficiency. i expect this to become a major focus for the field. for context, o3 high used 172x more compute than o3 low which itself used 100-1000x more compute than the grand prize competition target. we also started work on v2 in earnest this summer (v2 is in the same grid domain as v1) and will launch it alongside ARC Prize 2025. early testing is promising even against o3 high compute. but the goal for v2 is not to make an adversarial benchmark, rather be interesting and high signal towards AGI. we also want AGI benchmarks that can endure many years. i do not expect v2 will. and so we've also starting turning attention to v3 which will be very different. im excited to work with OpenAI and other labs on designing v3. given it's almost the end of the year, im in the mood for reflection. as anyone who has spent time with the ARC dataset can tell you, there is something special about it. and even moreso about a system than can fully beat it. we are seeing glimpses of that system with the o-series. i mean it when i say these are early days. i believe o3 is the alexnet moment for program synthesis. we now have concrete evidence that deep-learning guided program search works. we are staring up another mountain that, from my vantage point, looks equally tall and important as deep learning for AGI. many things have surprised me this year, including o3. but the biggest surprise has been the increasing response to ARC Prize. i've been surveying AI researchers about ARC for years. before ARC Prize launched in June, only one in ten had heard of it. now it's objectively the spear tip benchmark, being used by spear tip labs, to demonstrate progress on the spear tip of AGI -- the most important technology in human history. @fchollet deserves recognition for designing such an incredible benchmark. i'm continually grateful for the opportunity to steward attention towards AGI with ARC Prize and we'll be back in 2025!

New verified ARC-AGI-Pub SoTA! @OpenAI o3 has scored a breakthrough 75.7% on the ARC-AGI Semi-Private Evaluation. And a high-compute o3 configuration (not eligible for ARC-AGI-Pub) scored 87.5% on the Semi-Private Eval. 1/4

Just sent out a hard email. We have 5 mos runway and I'm no longer hopeful we can raise in this recession. Unless something radical happens, we're gonna have to make some changes fast. I'll be hosting an emergency town hall 6/10 at 15:30 ET to discuss mailchi.mp/new-harvest/emerg…

Oh My God. Someone's created a parody version of "Netflix" that only streams fake movies and TV series that were invented for _actual_ movies and TV series. And it solicits new entries from users. This has my IMMEDIATE AND ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT nestflix.fun/

Reducing friction and engineering serendipity are critical. Very excited to see what comes next from @SlackHQ
1yr ago, Tom Hanks got Covid. The US went into lockdown. The unplanned remote work experiment started. Overnight, millions of people turned to Slack as their office. Now @SlackHQ we’re building a Virtual HQ to #ReinventWork for the hybrid remote future. Here’s what’s next:

If you’re stuck on a hard problem, the best thing to do is share your exasperation with others. They’ll either make you revisit a solution that was unnecessarily dismissed, completely unique, or a worthy hack that works for now.

Time for a thread, Im sorry! Fintech has exploded in the past decade. Technology is changing how we save, invest, transact, borrow & much more. Where and how we interface with financial services is evolving. How we go about building financial services is changing.
