AMD claims that all their software is open source,... yet reality does not match this claim. For example, AMD's rocprof-trace-decoder is still completely closed source currently despite repeated requests for months by ML community members such as George Hotz, who is a daily AMD GPU end user. On the same June Spotify podcast, Tobias Macey & AMD's Anush Elangovan (who has a new twitter pfp) said that "open source allows for innovation to go at the pace at which the people using [AMD] want to, right, and it's not limited by the ability of what we put out in closed source form". We agree with an open source first approach and we agree that AMD should not limit ML community members like George Hotz by continuing to keep rocprof-trace-decoder closed source. When will AMD open source rocprof-trace-decoder?show more

Dear Andrej Karpathy, Update on this. Earlier this month... The Innovation Game (𝔦, 𝔦) announced a new SOTA routing algorithm had been collaboratively developed and submitted to The Innovation Game. The algorithm demonstrated the largest single perfomance jump in the modern history of the field on standard academic benchmarks: This success is a powerful proof of concept. I believe the wider implications will also interest you. As you know, the "Source" in AI is algorithms and data. These algorithms are typically for "hard to solve but easy to verify" problems. Remarkably, this allows the creation of a market for pricing improvements to these algorithms (roughly, the market is created by "racing" the algorithms, to see which can produce proof-of-work fastest). Availability of a market mechanism means open development of the algorithms can be funded by capturing a portion of the value they generate, and allocating it back to algorithm developers. The allocation is efficient, naturally integrating information (such as hardware availability) through revealed preferences. Importantly, market allocation is also "impersonal", which mitigates the risk to community cohesion that has historically afflicted Open Source projects offering monetary reward. Note: That a market for pricing code could extend Open Source to areas requiring monetary reward was (as far as I know) first suggested by Eric Raymond in 1999 Eric S. Raymond : Conclusion: The structure of Open Source AI means it can operate commercially. For example, value captured via Open Source "dual licensing", with allocation of the value by a market generated by proof-of-work. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Please see for more detail.show more

A major question in multimodal modeling is how to... leverage strong pre-trained models, such as industry-scale LLMs and VLMs, during training to avoid starting from scratch. This is important as the demand for rich and domain-specific multimodal models continues to increase, while training them from scratch is obviously impractical due to limited data and compute. The so-called “any-to-any” multimodal models can model a large diverse dictionary of modalities. That’s good. Their downside is that their architectures are often not decoder-only, which has limited their performance in practice and prevents them from leveraging strong pre-trained decoder-only models as priors. We are releasing MODUS (ICML Conference '26) a decoder-only any-to-any multimodal model to address some of these questions. A single transformer decoder predicts any modality from any others with no modality-specific heads, losses, or task pipelines. We show efficient adaptation of established models, e.g., BAGEL, to rich any-to-any multimodal modeling. We are releasing 14B to 77B parameter models. All materials are open-source.

4 months ago, someone reached out to me on... Instagram to ask if I could help her set up an open field farm in Ebonyi State. Unknown to me that the person who reached out is the first lady of the state. We started with open field tomato 🍅, and as of yesterday we've harvested 1,800kg so far at the second harvest. In the space of 4 months, I have helped her set up below 1) An acre of open field tomato 🍅 2) An acre of open field habanero 3) 2 acres of open field chilli pepper 🌶️ 4) Six sections of 10 by 50m greenhouses have been installed for her which fully commence production by this month 6) Two sections of 8 by 24m greenhouses installed to commence production this month. 2 Agronomists (my team members), 10 corps members have been the staff over seeing to the production so far. Note: The 10 corps members were trained by me and my team members as at the time of their resumption, and I must say they've been executing their tasks well so far. Your current location is never a barrier to us when our service is needed. You want us to set up a farm for you, and we are game You want us to help you manage your farm, we have skilled members who can do that.

Its not every day you wake up to find... that the Pope has made your lifes work the central focus of his papacy: “Disarming AI means freeing it from the mentality of “armed” competition [..] This entails a race for ever more powerful algorithms and larger datasets, driven by the desire to secure geopolitical or commercial dominance." - POPE LEO XIV, May 2026 Here, “disarmed” means “neutralised” in the sense that this should not be a differentiator The Innovation Game (TIG) was created to keep data and algorithms open, in order to prevent monopolistic control It's not just an aspiration, it's an economic mechanism that makes open data and open algorithms the rational economic choice • All algorithms are published openly by TIG • If you are willing to make the data you process with an algorithm open, you can use it free-of-charge • Alternatively, if you would like to keep this data private, there is a fee to pay for using the algorithm • All fees are used to fund more open innovation Its an elegant, global, self-reinforcing engine The logical end point of monopoly is that innovation stops We cannot allow that to happen Pope Leo XIV I would be grateful for your thoughts on The Innovation Gameshow more

CAF ExCo member Samir Sobha has apologized to Morocco... 🇲🇦 for the “injustice done to the national team” during the AFCON final. “I want to plead with the Moroccan FA to forgive us for the injustice done to them … The rules have not been respected, as they should have been in this match … They were robbed. It’s clear that after the Senegalese team left the field, all the players should have been sanctioned with a yellow card. “I’m not saying we should not give the trophy to the Senegalese team. What has happened has happened already. We can’t change it … But we should put our ego aside and agree that an injustice has been done to the Moroccan national team. Having gone through the competition rules, I’m sure my position is right.” Source: Guardian sportshow more

New Community Anti-Cheat Plugin has been released on Counter-Strike... 2. ✅ CS2FOW, an open-source server-side anti-wallhack created by karola3vax. The developer has been working on it for several months, the previous version was called Source2-AntiWallHack. 🔎 This system uses FOW (Fog of War) to block data sent from the server to clients (players behind a wall), which limits cheaters ability to use Wallhacks. It could also reduce network load and increase FPS by 30%. Valve may implement this system in the future. ⛔️ On CSGO, Valve implemented PVS (Potentially Visible Set), which is an “equivalent system” but is not “added/enabled” on CS2. 🚫show more

We want to make our position clear: we will never punish players for where they choose to play. Competition makes everyone better — players, leagues, and the community as a whole. Every player is free to compete in 6ix Arena and anywhere else, at the same time, with no conditions. That will never change. To any player affected by this decision: our doors are open. You’ll always have a home here. We wish EVERY league and EVERY player success. The community is big enough for all of us as it has been for the last 10 years. -Dangershow more

🇳🇵 PM OUSTED, YOUTH UNLEASHED - NEPAL’S UNREST IGNITES... AGAIN Tension has been building for weeks, and now it’s spilling into the streets. 2 months after Nepal’s former PM K.P. Sharma Oli was forced out, a new wave of Gen Z protests has surged, with vehicles torched and crowds clashing with police. What began as a small flare-up is spreading, fueled by anger at political churn and promises that never land. Riot squads pushed in. Protesters pushed back. Officials warn the unrest could widen. Young Nepalis say they’re done watching the country stall. Because once the youth stop trusting the system, the system starts to shake. Source: Open Source Intelshow more

It's okay to review or criticize any movie as... an audience, but the words chosen by Mr. Arshad Warsi ji do not fall under constructive criticism. He should choose his words wisely. A film loved by the masses and earning a massive ₹1100 crore, starring an actor who is the #Darling of the audience, is being labeled as a 'Joker' . Instead of attacking #Prabhas Garu, he should focus on his own career and tell us what he is doing for the growth of Indian cinema. Prabhas has given us the #Baahubali series, a source of national pride on the world stage. Indian cinema is striving to compete with Hollywood, and #Kalki2898AD is a step in that direction. Instead of mocking such efforts, we should be supporting them. We need 'Circuit,' not a 'short-circuit.' Nag Ashwin #PrabhasHanu Vyjayanthi Moviesshow more

Call for Genuine Dialogue with Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs)... We are deeply concerned by the recent actions of the National Medical Commission National Medical Commission regarding the new policies affecting Foreign Medical Graduates #FMGs . Despite multiple attempts by #FMGs to engage in constructive dialogue about these policies, the doors have been closed to them, leaving many feeling unheard and marginalized. Key Issues Highlighted: 1.Lack of Engagement with FMGs: •When FMGs approached the NMC to discuss the recent circulars impacting their education and career pathways, they were met with a closed door. This lack of openness contradicts the NMC’s stated commitment to inclusivity and transparency. •On other occasions, the NMC has publicly invited dialogue with medical professionals on various issues. The exclusion of FMGs from such conversations suggests a discrepancy in how different members of the medical community are treated. 2.The Need for Authentic Communication: •Effective policymaking requires genuine engagement with all stakeholders. FMGs, who represent a significant portion of the medical workforce, deserve to have their voices heard and their concerns addressed in a fair and transparent manner. •The perception that the NMC is avoiding meaningful dialogue with FMGs undermines trust and suggests a lack of willingness to address the real challenges faced by these dedicated professionals. Our Stance: We at @udfaindia believe that a body like the NMC, which is designed to represent and listen to the medical community, must be open to all its members. Ignoring or sidelining any group is counterproductive and contrary to the principles of equality and fairness. Why This Matters: •Equity and Representation: All medical professionals, regardless of where they received their education, should have the opportunity to engage with regulatory bodies and influence policies that affect their careers and lives. •Transparency and Trust: For the NMC to maintain its credibility and legitimacy, it must foster an environment of openness and responsiveness, especially towards those who are most impacted by its decisions. •Potential for Unrest: If the NMC continues to act unilaterally without genuine dialogue, it risks alienating a significant portion of the medical community. This could lead to increased discontent and potential protests, which is not in anyone’s interest. Our Call to Action: •Open the Doors to Dialogue: We urge the NMC to actively engage with FMGs and their representatives to discuss the implications of recent policies and seek mutually acceptable solutions. •Demonstrate True Commitment: Show that the commitment to inclusivity and open dialogue is not just for show, but a fundamental principle guiding the NMC’s actions. •Listen and Represent: The NMC must fulfill its mandate to listen to and represent all members of the medical community, including FMGs who have contributed significantly to healthcare in India. Let’s Work Together for a Fair and Inclusive Medical Community. We remain hopeful that the NMC will reconsider its approach and embrace a more inclusive and open stance towards FMGs. It is only through unity and collaboration that we can ensure a just and effective healthcare system for all. #OpenDialogue #FairTreatment #SupportFMGs #NMCAccountability #FMGS National Medical Commission ALL FMGs ASSOCIATION(AFA) Free Press Journal Anil Sharda ravish ndtv Karn Pratap Singhshow more

mHC from DeepSeek. I implemented it in Excel for... my Frontier AI Seminar. What is mHC? mHC stands for Manifold-Constrained Hyper Connections, published just a few days ago. This paper has quickly become the "first paper to read in 2026" for many in the community. Here's the gist: Residual Network = Neural Network + Skip Connections Hyper Connections = 1 skip connection per block to N weighted skip connections per block Manifold-Constrained = Whatever weight values to weights constrained to sum of 1 I always appreciate the DeepSeek team for releasing their work openly and quickly. That said, this paper introduces significantly more terminology than their earlier papers, and I’m not entirely sure who the intended audience is. Just to name a few: - Residual stream - Sinkhorn–Knopp algorithm - Entropically projected matrices - Birkhoff polytope - Doubly stochastic matrices 🤯 It’s a good reminder that open source is not the same as open knowledge—which is why I’d like to unpack mHC by hand, in Excel, in the next Frontier AI Seminar.show more

We all condemned the criminal assault on activist @p_oruche... at the Benin airport by people offended by her views. Most of us agree that in a democracy, speech is protected and jungle justice has no place, even when offense is caused. We said the same when Deborah was murdered for what she allegedly said in a student WhatsApp study group. Yet in the aftermath of the brutal assault and abduction of Don Pedro Obaseki, this was her contribution to the conversation. How is this ‘reasoning’ materially different from the logic used by those who insist that offensive speech justifies violence, including murder for blasphemy. If we cannot apply the same moral standard consistently, then a new Nigeria truly remains out of reach.show more
