Today, we at @OpenAI achieved a milestone that many considered years away: gold medal-level performance on the 2025 IMO with a general reasoning LLMโunder the same time limits as humans, without tools. As remarkable as that sounds, itโs even more significant than the headline ๐งต

Immigrants are disproportionately likely to have founded one of Britain's fastest growing businesses.
I recommend this new report from @TenThinkTank which explains how Britain can attract more foreign born job creators.

We are happy to release the first results of a RCT of a US program that provided $1,000/month unconditionally for 3 years to 1,000 individuals in the treatment group, with a group of 2,000 people receiving $50/month serving as the control.
These are sizable transfers. 1/ ๐งต

Iโm actually very bullish on the UKโs mid-term future:
1. AI: one of the best places in the world to build AI companies high state capacity in AI relative to peers
2. Science: great uni base, plus bold bets like ARIA

What are the best, most plausible reasons for optimism about Britain over the next five years? To put it another way, if the UK out-performs its low expectations what will be the reasons? Economically, but politically and institutionally too.

Great paper on Help to Buy by Carozzi, Hilber, and Yu - but a sorry tale of UK policy
It was obvious the subsidy would be capitalised into house prices, they told the government it would be, and - guess what! - it was capitalised into house prices
