My wife had appendicitis and was stuck waiting in the emergency department for 8 hours. Her appendix burst and she got sepsis.
Ended up fine, but at what point is it negligence to not use the software that reduces wait times and halves sepsis deaths?

1. Make it work
2. Make it good
Did you do (1) with whatever the latest model is? Could it be 10x better? Could it be 10x faster?
Introducing NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra.
A frontier smart open model built for long-running agents that need to plan, reason, use tools and keep working across complex coding, research and enterprise workflows.
Up to 5x faster inference and up to 30% lower cost for agentic tasks.

AIP Evolve can help you decide.
It builds on all the other AIP primitives: AI FDE generating Evals, using observability metrics, rearchitecting as necessary to hit your objective.

AIP Evolve — our new product for making agents more efficient and cost effective.
See how Chad and Colton used it to autonomously swap models, tune prompts, validate outputs, and find structured ontology data that eliminated 2 LLM calls; cutting compute costs while improving accuracy and reliability in production.

Strongly recommend this defence of the FDP from someone who really knows what they’re talking about.

I led the team that built the NHS Federated Data Platform. I've left NHS England and written down what I think the debate is getting wrong.

You may have seen noise questioning whether the FDP is delivering.
Here is the answer - straight from NHS England - published today:
✅ 110,078 more patients operated on in theatres
✅ 297,943 patients discharged home sooner
✅ 15.3% reduction in unnecessary hospital days
✅ 6.8% faster cancer diagnosis
These results belong to the NHS and its patients.
Palantir simply built the platform that makes the data work.

That is the number of additional operations the NHS just delivered using the Federated Data Platform.
Not a forecast. Not a pilot.
Official @NHSEngland data published today.
While the noise continues, the software works.

Forward deployed engineering is no longer limited to humans.
At DevCon 5, Palantir Software Engineers Ankit Shankar and Colton Rusch demonstrate new AI FDE capabilities to write AIP Logic functions, author evals, and safely debug in a branch-aware, continuous loop.

DevCon 5 was about putting new products and capabilities in the hands of builders.
We showed the latest releases — across AI FDE, Orchestrator, Ontology Foundations, the revamped Developer Experience, and more.
Then, builders got to work.

Former hobbits. If you have ever considered returning to Palantir, this is the week to do it. The world is demanding every last unit of creative energy we can muster. If you return, you will be on a plane day one and committing code that matters within hours of getting your laptop. From the foxhole to the factory floor the surface area to support something incredibly meaningful, immediately, is immense. I promise you nothing other than the sense of satisfaction that comes from the purpose and intensity of the most intense deployments you ever worked on. If you have been chasing that spark, come find it again. The shire is calling.

I'm trying to figure out where to live next, and one big consideration is the climate. So naturally I made a tool that represents monthly average temperatures for cities as 3D rings so they can be compared more easily. Check it out: awjuliani.github.io/weather-…

Opus 4.5 just set GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR to sed to do an interactive rebase without needing to open EDITOR - the frontier models are creative!

Very cool - local image model that is very capable, now on macOS.
I prefer uv over pip: uvx moondream-station
