Have you debugged your training data? You might not like what you find. Introducing predictive data debugging: reveal and shape what your model will learn before training. In DPO datasets, we found broken guardrails, hallucinations, and fish fart fan fiction (seriously). (1/9)

The vibes in New York rn

Hear me out: space gun

MINUS ONE TO SPACE GUN with @natosaichek from @LongshotSpace @southpkcommons (00:00) The 15-Kilometer Space Gun (07:48) The History of Space Guns and Why the Idea Was Abandoned (11:20) Why Rockets Aren’t the Best Solution (17:50) The Story of Longshot Space (23:37) Nato On Leaving His Dream Job (30:33) Fundraising for an Unconventional Idea (42:22) The Perks of Having a Cofounder

Sometimes speed is just impatience disguised as ambition.

The hottest companies in NYC are shipping something new almost every day. @LumaLabsAI, @ElevenLabs, @SentienceCom, @sandbar, & @floraai came by @southpkcommons to show off their latest.

FDE job openings are up 10x YoY! I sat down with @colintjarvis, @calvinleenyc, @jrshoch, and @howard_zuo to discuss why top AI companies are bringing their best engineers on-site with customers. One reason: coding agent empower engineers to focus less on integrations/grunt work and more on solving end-to-end customer problems, where on-the-ground context is critical.

robots in nyc? let’s go!

Sometimes speed is just impatience disguised as ambition. When it's cheap to build almost anything, the real advantage is choosing what's actually worth building. A thread 🧵

every weekend should be like this.

thank you to the guy that karate kicked our drone in the intro this is legendary

Hacking on hardware with a collaborative twist. Last weekend, 25 teams came together to ship working prototypes at the intersection of intelligence and the physical world. Check out the winners below 🔽

The last 5 years have been dominated by LLMs. @gravicle makes a compelling case for visual intelligence dominating the next 5. We discussed the journey from @southpkcommons, to @LumaLabsAI, to world models (what does this even mean!?). Enjoy! (00:00) Apple's LiDAR work seeded Luma's founding vision (05:05) - A free app was secretly a data collection operation (06:49) H100s made video generation stop feeling impossible (10:00) Most definitions of "world model" are simply wrong (14:37) Why unified models beat pure video scaling (20:03) Luma Agents and the end-to-end creative production loop (23:00) The knowledge gap no model can close alone (29:34) Blowing James Cameron's mind in five minutes (31:16) Why consumer video generation failed—and who it's actually for (35:23) - Product and research aren't independent things at a foundation lab

AI is coming to the physical world. We spent a weekend at @southpkcommons experimenting with getting software, hardware, and different form factors to collaborate.

The future is bright. We will have amazing things at the intersection of AI Atoms.
