This is probably the most entertaining way to understand one of AI’s hardest AI debates. Transformer vs Post-Transformer, argued by leading researchers, inside a real physical boxing ring. Both technically deep and genuinely entertaining. I was glued for the entire 1 hour 20 minutes. So many super cool points to learn. 🥊 Transformers - Transformers still own the present because they work at scale. They are simple, trainable, hardware-friendly, and already power the strongest AI systems we use today. - The Transformer is basically a memory machine. It stores information as keys and values, then uses attention to pull back the most useful parts when answering. - The real Transformer advantage is not just “attention.” The bigger advantage is that it fits modern hardware extremely well, so it can process huge batches of tokens fast. - Scaling is still the brutal rule. If you give Transformers more compute, more data, and more parameters, they usually keep getting better. Any Post-Transformer architecture has to scale just as well, or better. - It is not enough to look clever on small tests, because the real question is whether it improves faster than Transformers when scaled up. - A replacement cannot be slightly better. Because the whole AI stack is already built around Transformers, the next architecture may need to be around 10x better to force everyone to switch. - Transformers are powerful, but they may be brute force. A human does not need to read the entire internet many times to become smart, but current LLMs need enormous data and compute. 🥊 Post-Transformer - Post-Transformer people are not saying Transformers are bad. They are saying Transformers may be the best current tool, not the final form of machine intelligence. - The biggest Post-Transformer target is native reasoning and continual learning. Today’s LLM reasoning often feels like text-based step-by-step work added on top, instead of thinking happening naturally inside the model. - Latent reasoning is one possible next step. That means the model reasons inside its own hidden internal space, instead of writing every thought out as words. - Continual learning is still a major weakness. Humans keep learning from experience, but most Transformer-based models are trained, frozen, and then only adapt inside the prompt. - Long context is not the same as real memory. A model can read a huge prompt, but that is different from building a life history, learning from mistakes, and updating beliefs over time. - The future may be hybrid, not a clean replacement. Transformers may stay as 1 building block while newer systems add better memory, better reasoning, and better learning loops. - The most interesting possibility is that Transformers may help discover their own successor. AI agents are already getting better at research and coding, so the next architecture may come from AI-assisted architecture search. ------- - Benchmarks are a problem. Many public benchmarks are easy to game, so they may show leaderboard strength without proving deeper intelligence. - Perplexity is still probably a great metric to evaluate frontier models,, because it tests prediction quality. --- Overall, Transformers continue to dominate, but the frontier is clearly widening. Pathway’s BDH (Dragon Hatchling — brain-inspired reasoning architecture), Sakana AI’s CTMs (Continuous Thought Machines — models that think over time), and Liquid AI’s LFMs (Liquid Foundation Models — efficient multimodal foundation models) - all of these show how the frontier is expanding. --- From “Pathway (pathway[.]com)” Youtube channel (link in comment) Zuzanna Stamirowska

Today is Hanuman Jayanthi, at temple Banaswadi, Anjaneya swamy temple Sending u all a glimpse and good vibes from here MIRACLE here is Bhagwan tears up🙏🏼 Witnessing Abhishekam is offered to Lord Hanuman, a sacred vibration fills the space. As the holy waters flow over His Vigraha, something extraordinary happens — it Bhagwan Himself tears up. Those tiny droplets gathering near His lotus eyes make the moment absolutely mesmerising, as if He is silently responding to the devotion offered to Him. For a true devotee, this is where the heart melts. You don’t just witness the Abhishekam — you experience it. Every drop feels like a blessing, every chant like a heartbeat. And in that divine presence, Ananda Bāṣpa rises within you… tears of pure bliss, the soul recognising its own connection to Bhagwan. In that moment: •The mind becomes still. •The heart expands. •The ego dissolves. •And Hanuman’s grace surrounds you like a warm embrace. Abhishekam to Hanuman is not just a ritual — it is a divine exchange of love. A moment where His compassion meets your devotion, where His silence speaks louder than any mantra.

A robot just worked an 8-hour shift in China. Then it handled an error no human flagged, adapting to a conveyor that shifted under it and correcting the position deviation on its own before carrying on. This is AgiBot's G2 at Longcheer in Nanchang, where the fleet has now run 10 hours straight and sorted more than 3,000 units at a 100% success rate, talking to the factory's own software in real time and flagging defective parts by itself. We built every factory on earth around human limits: the eight-hour shift, the breaks, the way attention slips after hour six. AgiBot is making those limits optional, and the setting is the whole point. This is a live production line shipping real product next to human workers, not a staged demo. Figure ran a similar stream in California last month, so the milestone itself isn't unique. What's different here is that nothing is for the camera. A functioning factory, live, no cuts. I got back from China this month, and the pace of this one ecosystem is the thing the US is underrating most. The Terminator version of this was loud and apocalyptic. The real one just shows up to work, and gets a little better every shift.

Nigeria has been taking action South Africa! Chad's deportation of Nigerians was a wake-up call. In April 2026, Chadian authorities rounded up hundreds of Nigerians, many of whom had sought refuge from Boko Haram, and deported them . They were told, "All Nigerian refugees are Boko Haram and should leave your country" . This is the brutal reality of regional migration when your own government cannot protect you from insurgency, your neighbours will treat you as the enemy. But Nigeria is also acting on its own borders. In April 2026, the Nigeria Immigration Service arrested 107 foreign nationals in Adamawa State including 77 Cameroonians, 21 Nigeriens, 6 Burkinabe, and 3 Chadians for illegal residence and suspected involvement in job scams . Ogun State also arrested 70 foreigners from Niger, Chad, and Sudan, who could not explain their presence or even speak English . The government has made it clear: they will be deported through proper immigration channels . In 2024 alone, Nigeria deported 828 illegal immigrants, primarily from Chad, Niger, Benin, and Cameroon . The NIS estimates that 300,000 illegal immigrants are currently in the country . Nigeria is finally treating this as a security crisis because porous borders have allowed smuggling, human trafficking, and even insurgency movements to flourish . Academic research has linked the spread of Boko Haram directly to the influx of migrants from Niger and Chad . Nigeria is doing exactly what South Africa is being condemned for. They are deporting illegal immigrants. They are securing their borders. And they are calling it a security threat because it is. But in South Africa it’s called xenophobia. Every sovereign nation has the right to protect its people. Nigeria is exercising that right. South Africa must do the same. We are not xenophobic. We are simply doing what Nigeria and every other nation does. Our leaders house don’t have the balls to acknowledge it 🇿🇦✊🏾

🚨Charlie Kirk’s Personal Account of the Origins of TPUSA The full, unedited, and uncut 2012 Tea Party speech delivered by high school senior Charlie Kirk at Benedictine College is now available. It’s the original, unaltered version, free from any cuts or manipulation. This speech holds a special place in the heart of Bill Montgomery, who claims it left a profound impact on him. He attributes this influence to mentoring the young man, persuading him to abandon college, and collaborating with him to establish Turning Point USA. Over the past decade, this speech has been marketed as an extraordinary “prodigy discovered” moment that catalyzed a significant turning point. However, when you watch the actual clip, it raises questions about whether it truly lived up to the legendary status it has been given. Has the entire early origin story been exaggerated and inflated beyond its actual significance? The speech speaks for itself. Take the time to watch it without any filters and form your own opinion. Is it a genuine breakthrough or a carefully constructed myth? While rewatching this, I noticed a single sentence that might have piqued Bill’s interest. Did you happen to catch it?

[Seoul Economy] 'His face tells a story and is a public welfare benefit'… BTS V enchants Paris with his unmatched presence. V captivated Paris, France, once again showcasing why he is regarded as a fashion icon. On June 28, V made a surprise appearance at the world-renowned brand Celine's Spring/Summer 2027 Men's Collection show held in Paris, France. This collection marked the first men's collection presented by Celine's new creative director, Michael Rider, making it an event that had already attracted tremendous attention from the global fashion industry even before its unveiling. The event was attended by numerous world-famous celebrities, including music producer Mark Ronson and legendary pop star Grace Jones, becoming a major talking point. Among them, V, Celine's global ambassador, radiated an unmatched aura and undoubtedly heated up the atmosphere at the venue. Having consistently embodied Celine's minimalist and understated luxury aesthetic, V once again fully demonstrated his own distinctive sense of style at this show. In particular, he appeared wearing a look from the Spring/Summer 2027 Men's Collection that was being revealed to the public for the very first time, drawing an endless barrage of camera flashes from the press. He completed his signature refined styling by layering a striking red shirt with a muted red jacket, paired with generously cut, relaxed-fit trousers. With his irreplaceable visuals and captivating attitude, he reinterpreted the brand's sophisticated aesthetic in a way that transcends trends, earning generous praise from those at the venue and from the global fashion industry alike. As Celine's global ambassador, V has continued to maintain a strong partnership with the brand by consistently participating in various global projects and official events. Even after completing his military service, he continues to impress with his unchanged visuals and even greater sense of maturity, leading not only popular culture but also global fashion trends in real time. Once again, he has proven his immense influence as a global icon whose impact extends beyond music into fashion and culture as a whole. After setting Paris abuzz and once again redefining legendary visuals, BTS V is expected to continue his diverse global activities on the world stage. That was the latest news on singer V.

I don’t think any sitcom has ever had such an immediate impact on me as The League of Gentlemen. It felt unlike anything I’d seen before, and I vividly remember counting down the days until each new episode. Of course, being different isn’t enough on its own. The writing and performances have to back it up, and The League delivered on both in spades. One of the clearest signs that a sitcom has become part of the cultural fabric is how often it gets quoted. If I had a pound for every time I’ve heard someone say, “Into which we do not pass solids” or “Hello, hello, we’ll have no trouble here,” et al, I’d be able to afford a hundred hair transplants. In fact, every time one of my sons walks into the room, I still find myself saying, “You march in here, young!” It really is the gift that keeps on giving. A few days ago, we recorded an episode of The Laughter Effect with Reece Shearsmith (Edward in this clip), and he was an absolute delight. I’ll let you know as soon as the episode goes live, but if you’d like to subscribe in the meantime, you can do so via my Linktree. Are you local?

A protocol dying used to be loud. A nine-figure hack, a depeg, a founder going dark, a thread with a rising body count. SummerFi went out the other way, with a calm blog post and a thank-you. That quiet is worth paying attention to 👇🏻 ◢ Winding down is the responsible ending nobody rewards Give the team credit for how they left. Vaults paused fast, a clear statement, the app kept alive through August, governance handed to the DAO, users told exactly where they stand. This is the good version of failure. And it is precisely the version that gets no sympathy and no coverage, because there is no villain to point at and no drama to screenshot. We reward the projects that blow up spectacularly with attention and forget the ones that close the door politely. ◢ Their own capital in their own vaults was the real lesson Skin in the game is supposed to be the virtue. Founders eating their own cooking, aligned with users, exposed to the same risk. SummerFi did exactly that, and it is what killed the company rather than just bruising it. Full alignment means the same event that hurts your users can end your business in one move. Somewhere between zero skin in the game and betting the payroll on your own smart contracts, there is a line most teams have never actually thought about. ◢ Trust compounds slowly and settles in an afternoon Five years to build a reputation out of Maker. One accounting exploit to spend it. The asymmetry is brutal and it is the actual business model risk of DeFi, more than any single bug. You are not running a protocol, you are running a confidence account that takes years to fund and can be drained faster than the money itself. Most teams underwrite the code. Almost nobody underwrites the trust. ◢ The graveyard is filling up off-camera SummerFi is one name. The same week, a wallet provider announced its own shutdown after an exploit. The pattern is a slow thinning of the field that never makes it into a single dramatic headline, because each individual exit is too small to notice. Bull markets hide this. Everything looks alive when the money is flowing, and you only see how many projects quietly left when the tide is out. The uncomfortable question is how many of the ones you already trust are running on a confidence account that a single ordinary afternoon could empty, with a polite goodbye post as the only warning you ever get.

New model: your robot can now pack your suitcase 🧳 Xiaomi has released a new robot foundation model. Called Xiaomi-Robotics-1, it is designed to have a robot pick things up and move them around. But first, DEFINITIONS: - Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT): An architecture where separate transformer "experts" (e.g., one for vision-language, one for actions) share a single attention stream, so each modality gets specialized parameters without losing joint reasoning. - Vision-language model (VLM): A model that jointly understands images and text. - Diffusion transformer: A transformer trained to turn noise into structured outputs by iterative denoising, here generating robot actions rather than images. - Action chunks: Short sequences of future actions (e.g., the next ~50 motor commands) predicted in one shot instead of one step at a time. - Flow matching: A faster version of diffusion. The model learns a straight-line velocity field from noise to the target action, so it needs only a few integration steps instead of many denoising ones. Its peculiarity comes from its two stage training: 1. 100,000 hours of video shot through a UMI rig: a handheld 3D-printed gripper with a camera, worn by humans doing ordinary tasks in homes, shops, factories and offices. 2. Adapt to actual robot bodies with ~10,000 hours of real-robot data. It replaces the standard approach of teleoperating a real robot for every hour of training data. Its architecture is a Mixture-of-Transformers pairing a pre-trained Qwen3-VL vision-language model with a diffusion transformer that emits action chunks via flow matching, released in 2.6B, 5.1B and 10.5B parameter variants. However, if you read the entire paper ("Scaling VLA Models with over 100K Hours"), you realize that all of the scaling experiments on 20k hours. Therefore the headline "out-of-the-box success climbing 26% → 75% as pre-training data grows" tops out at 100% of 20k hours! What the full corpus does to that curve is never shown -> and this where things would become interesting! Xiaomi's own conclusion is that model size has stopped mattering and data is the binding constraint. The performance gap among different model sizes are less pronounced than those observed across different data scales. This result suggests that model capacity at the billions-parameter scale may already be sufficient to capture the current dataset's distribution. Which further asks the same question: why not use the 100k video hours? Anyway, I would definitely love to have a couple robots at home that can cooperate to pack my suitcase with items relevant to my next destination:

Mozart's Jupiter Finale: Where Abundance Finds Fulfillment in Harmonious Order In the history of Western music, few finales have been praised as highly as the fourth movement (Molto allegro) of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter.” It is not only the conclusion of the last symphony Mozart completed, but also one of the most radiant achievements of the Classical era. The special beauty of this movement does not lie in grandeur or complexity for their own sake. It lies in the way Mozart enables diverse musical ideas to unfold within a single, unified order. If the spirit of the movement could be expressed in one sentence, it would be this: perfect beauty emerges when abundance is sustained by harmonious order. The movement is written in sonata form, with exposition, development, recapitulation, and coda. Yet Mozart does not treat the form as a rigid frame. He uses it as a steady foundation on which each musical idea can unfold naturally—from simplicity to completeness, from separate voices to a greater unity. On this foundation, the art of counterpoint gradually expands, so that several melodic lines may sound at once while each remains clear and distinct. What is striking is that Mozart does not begin with large, imposing themes. He presents five short motifs, each with its own character. One is strong, another gentle, another full of springing energy; and there is the famous four-note motif, so simple it feels almost like a passing thought. They resemble tiny seeds. Their value is not in their size, but in their power to keep growing. In the exposition, Mozart lets the five motifs appear one after another, so the listener can come to know each distinct “voice” before the longer journey of development begins. In the development, Mozart does not look for new material. He explores more and more deeply what has already been given. Each motif is carried into new keys, changed in shape, broken apart, and then joined with the others. Here counterpoint gradually becomes the moving force of the music. What starts as a conversation between two lines grows into an ever-richer weaving of voices. The remarkable thing is that the more lines sound together, the more clearly the listener can still recognize each individual motif. Every idea keeps its own identity while helping the whole structure become larger and more alive. When the recapitulation arrives, the motifs return in the home key of C major, restoring the balance of the form. Yet this is not a simple return to the beginning. After the journey of change and growth, the listener hears the same ideas again, but now with new depth. They are the same motifs, yet they have been transformed by everything that has happened. The return feels like a person coming home after a time of maturing: the place looks the same, but experience has made everything more meaningful. The true summit of the movement comes in the coda. The motifs that were first heard separately now sound together in a brilliant contrapuntal texture. At certain moments, all five motifs sound simultaneously. Each line keeps its own character and direction, yet all blend perfectly with one another. What could easily have become confusion instead shines with astonishing clarity. Here Mozart brings the art of counterpoint to the highest ideal of the Classical age: unity is not created by making every idea the same, but by letting each idea develop to the fullness of its own nature and then come together in a balanced whole. That is why the finale of the “Jupiter” has long been regarded as one of the most perfect achievements of eighteenth-century symphonic music. When one listens to this ending, what remains is not only admiration for Mozart’s skill. What stays more deeply is the sense that every musical idea has been brought to its complete fulfillment. No motif is left behind, and none overwhelms the others. Each idea fulfills its part and then naturally joins a greater whole. The movement therefore gives a rare feeling of completeness—as though everything that needed to be said has found its proper voice. This experience also calls to mind the inner life of a human being. Imagine a father standing at the door as his child leaves home for the first time to begin an independent life. In that single moment he may feel, all at once, pride that his child has grown, joy for the future ahead, concern for the trials that wait, a quiet sadness as the house becomes still, and gratitude for the years they shared. These feelings do not blend by themselves. If worry takes over, love becomes possessive. If longing turns into clinging, it can hinder the child’s growth. Yet when every emotion is guided by love and by what is right, each keeps its proper place. They no longer pull the heart in different directions; together they point toward a greater good. Maturity, then, is not the removal of different feelings, but their right ordering within the moral life of the heart. Perhaps this reflects a still wider law of existence. A lasting society does not require every person to be the same, any more than nature exists in only one form of life. Every human being, every living creature, and every principle of nature has its own value when it fulfills the role that belongs to it within an order that already exists. The completeness of each part gives rise to the completeness of the whole. It may be because the finale of the “Jupiter” reflects this universal principle that it continues to move listeners more than two centuries later. Mozart does not merely close a symphony. Through it he lets us feel that enduring beauty does not appear when all differences are erased, but when every part is allowed to fulfill its own nature and joins in making the whole complete. In this performance, the Vienna Philharmonic under the direction of Karl Böhm performs the fourth movement (Molto allegro) from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551, “Jupiter.” Filmed at the Musikverein in Vienna in June 1973, this is widely regarded as one of the classic interpretations of the work. With Böhm’s calm, balanced, and deeply insightful conducting, together with the Vienna Philharmonic’s distinctive sound, the performance brings into focus the unique beauty of the finale, where multiple independent musical ideas unfold and come together within a single, harmonious order. It is this union of richness and unity that has long established the Molto allegro as one of the supreme achievements of the Classical symphonic tradition.

Litecoin should not still be here. It launched in 2011, watched thousands of flashier coins promise to replace it, and quietly buried almost all of them. The survivor everyone wrote off is about to do the one thing nobody expected. In this conversation, Roc and Aztec of LitVM walk through a major expansion that finally brings smart contracts to one of crypto's oldest names. Their argument is that the recent downturns, which they attribute to predatory shorting, are masking a quieter trend, with capital steadily rotating back into proven legacy assets that have already weathered more than a decade of cycles. The project itself is a purpose-built layer-two (L2) modular stack that brings Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility natively to Litecoin. They point out that while the major chains support dozens of layer twos, LitVM is the only one building on Litecoin, using zero-knowledge cryptography to let users launch smart contracts and real-world assets trustlessly. Here is the part that should make you pay attention. With no airdrop incentives dangled in front of anyone, the testnet has already crossed 40 million transactions and 3 million unique active wallets, which means people are showing up for the technology rather than a payout. Roc and Aztec explain what that signals, and why they believe the oldest survivor in crypto might be the one writing its most important chapter yet...

Exploring Bach’s BWV 1065: When a Musical Machine Begins to Beat with Life Some creations inspire awe not because they contain countless details, but because every detail within them works according to a precise order. A finely crafted mechanical clock is one such example. From the outside, we see only the hands moving quietly through time. Inside, however, an entire world is at work. Tiny gears transmit energy to one another. Different components perform different tasks. Some generate motion. Some regulate the rhythm. Some keep the entire mechanism in balance. The beauty of the clock does not lie in any single part. It lies in the way all of those small movements come together to create one continuous pulse. Johann Sebastian Bach’s BWV 1065 possesses a similar kind of beauty. From its very first notes, listeners sense more than the beginning of a melody. They sense a musical mechanism coming to life. Four harpsichords enter the conversation. Lines of music emerge, answer one another, and pass ideas seamlessly from one voice to the next. Each instrument resembles a moving gear within a larger system, where every motion contributes to a single, unified current. The Invisible Blueprint Behind the Music A finely made clock cannot function simply by placing many parts side by side. Its true secret lies in the design. The clockmaker must understand the distance between every component. The speed of every movement. The path by which energy travels from one part to another. These underlying principles transform separate pieces into one living mechanism. In BWV 1065, Bach builds his music according to the same kind of logic. He does not allow the four harpsichords to move in separate directions. Every voice has a role within the larger musical flow. An idea may first appear in one instrument. It is then taken up by another. From there it is developed, expanded, and carried forward in a new direction. What listeners hear is not simply four instruments performing together. They hear a conversation organized with astonishing precision. Behind the constant movement lies an invisible architecture, where Bach carefully determines how every musical voice meets, supports, and completes the others. Four Voices Moving with a Single Pulse One of BWV 1065’s greatest achievements is the balance it creates between independence and unity. Each harpsichord possesses its own personality. When listening closely, each musical line reveals its own distinct character. Yet when stepping back to hear the entire work, everything merges into one continuous flow of energy. It is much like watching a group of dancers on stage. Each performer moves differently. One steps forward. Another turns behind. A third quietly maintains the rhythm of the entire performance. The audience does not perceive four separate dances. They see one living form in motion. This is the essence of Bach’s contrapuntal art. Its richness does not come from adding countless unrelated ideas. It comes from allowing many independent voices to exist together within a perfectly ordered whole. When Brief Plucked Sounds Become a Continuous Stream of Energy The harpsichord possesses a unique character. Its notes speak with remarkable clarity, yet they fade almost immediately. Each sound resembles a brief flash of light before disappearing into silence. Bach transforms this very limitation into one of the instrument's greatest strengths. He does not rely on sustained tones. Instead, he creates momentum by placing every note at precisely the right moment. Imagine a wheel spinning at great speed. The eye no longer distinguishes each individual spoke. It perceives only one smooth and continuous rotation. The harpsichord works in much the same way. Every note exists for only an instant. Yet when hundreds of those fleeting moments are linked together, they become something greater than the individual sounds themselves—a powerful, uninterrupted stream of musical energy. This is one of the most beautiful paradoxes in Bach’s music: The smallest musical events create the strongest sense of life and motion. Netherlands Bach Society and Revealing the Music's Inner Architecture In the Netherlands Bach Society's performance, the beauty of BWV 1065 emerges through the remarkable clarity of its individual voices. The four harpsichords never dissolve into a single block of sound. Each instrument preserves its own distinct color, allowing listeners to follow every layer of movement unfolding within the music. This approach reveals one of Bach’s most remarkable artistic achievements: Every individual part has its own purpose, yet every part serves something greater than itself. Rather than simply enjoying the brilliance on the surface, listeners are invited to hear how the entire work has been constructed from within. When Precision Gives Birth to Life BWV 1065 may first astonish listeners with its speed and technical brilliance. Yet those qualities are only the surface. Its deeper achievement lies in Bach's ability to transform an exceptionally disciplined structure into something vividly alive. A masterfully crafted mechanical clock is not extraordinary simply because it contains many intricate parts. It becomes extraordinary because every tiny movement contributes to one unified pulse. Bach's music follows the same principle. Order does not suppress freedom. On the contrary, it is the precision of the structure that allows the music to move with complete naturalness. BWV 1065 is therefore far more than a concerto for four harpsichords. It stands as a testament to an art in which every detail, when placed exactly where it belongs, helps create a world of sound that is at once precise and profoundly alive. A musical machine. Yet within it, a living heartbeat never ceases.
