Alibaba Qwen3.7 slowly fading into irrelevance at the frontier due to proprietary stance. In it's place we have Minimax M3 and... *checks notes* Rio 3.5 397b, made by the municipal IT company of Rio de Janeiro's city government. huggingface.co/prefeitura-ri…

What Europe should do right now: 1. Call all the European researchers working on AI and return them back with same salary (or they can stay but switch career). 2. Fill EU places having GPUs with money, and put those people there. 3. AI partnerships with China India.

It is as immoral to blow up the ugliest country* in the world as the most beautiful one. * It even applies to New Jersey.

I wrote my first neural networks in pure C, then in Matlab, then in NumPy, before eventually upgrading to Theano. Since then I have seen and tried pretty much every NN framework ever developed. Some are bad, some are good. The good ones understand API design principles.

$$$ AI researchers switching labs recently— * xAI cleaned house and having a hard time refilling talent. Shifted to hiring more startup / engineer grinder types vs researchers. Narrowed focus to code. * Cursor having talent trouble identity crisis: undercapitalized financially relative to team talent level. * Project Prometheus (Bezos) quietly snapping up talent. Many key hires recently. Potential to be major player. * Anthropic remains most desirable, even more than last 6mo, few leave. Difficult to poach from with upcoming IPO. Only hiring staff or above and stopped hiring even senior. * TBD (Meta) also keeps snapping up top talent quietly. MSL seen as significantly less desirable. * Thinking Machines has somewhat stabilized after departures earlier this year. Star studded still but not an auto-pick for talent newly on market. * OAI churning as always, both from normal burnout bleed and latest reshuffle axing non-core divisions. * Not super sure what’s going on with GDM wrt talent. Perpetually #3 spot on model ranking. Overall, talent flow is net flowing out of undercapitalized neolabs to highly capitalized neolabs or Anthropic.
