This is why $TIG is so important 🔵 "We have got to acknowledge that most of the advances in AI came out of algorithm advances, not just the raw hardware" ⚫️ "The only way to really get 10x or 100x leaps is to fundamentally change the algorithm" Not just anyone's opinion.. thats from CEO of NVIDIA Jensen Huang Algorithms are where the real breakthroughs come from.. The Innovation Game (𝔦, 𝔦) is building the incentive layer to discover them.. at scale, in the open, with the best minds competing to push the frontier forward $TIG

Introducing ALE-Bench, ALE-Agent! Towards Automating Long-Horizon Algorithm Engineering for Hard Optimization Problems Blog: Paper: ALE-Bench is a coding benchmark primarily focused on hard optimization (NP-hard) problems. We developed this benchmark with AtCoder Inc., a leading coding contest platform company. What makes ALE-Bench unique is its focus on hard optimization problems that demand long-horizon and creative reasoning. It’s open-ended, in the sense that true optima are out of reach (NP-hard) and scores can continuously improve. We believe this benchmark has the potential to become one of the key benchmarks for reasoning and coding in the next generation. ALE-Agent is our end-to-end agent that we specifically designed for this challenging domain. In fact, our ALE-Agent has already built an impressive track record in the wild! In May 2025, our agent participated in a live AtCoder Heuristic Competition (AHC), alongside 1,000 other participants in real-time. AHC is considered to be one of the most challenging coding competitions in this domain. Our ALE-Agent achieved an impressive ranking of 21st out of 1,000 human participants in the competition (top 2%), marking a turning point for AI discovery of solutions to hard optimization problems with a wide spectrum of important real world applications such as logistics, routing, packing, factory production planning, power-grid balancing. We look forward to applying this technology to real industrial optimization opportunities. Building on the insights from this study, Sakana AI will continue to tackle the challenge of developing AI with even greater algorithm engineering capabilities. ALE-Bench Dataset: ALE-Bench Code: This research was conducted in collaboration with AtCoder Inc. (AtCoder). We are deeply grateful for their outstanding expertise and contributions in optimization and algorithms, which were invaluable in providing data, analyzing results, and enabling our AI agent’s participation in their contests.

THE INNOVATION GAME ($TIG) SURGES 100% IN 7 DAYS The Innovation Game (𝔦, 𝔦) ($TIG), a Base ecosystem token built around decentralized algorithmic research, is up roughly 101% over the past 7 days, making it one of the top performers in the Base Ecosystem and Proof of Work categories. TIG runs as a network for "algorithmic breakthroughs," using proof-of-work to incentivize open contributions across AI, cryptography, biomedical research, and climate science. The project formed a Swiss Association in Zug last year to safeguard high-value IP from global researchers and now sits at roughly $39M market cap with over 20,000 holders.

We’re launching Mundi, the first open-source web GIS built for AI. After years of training geospatial AI models, we decided now is the moment to build the GIS software of the next decade. After the AI Vectorizer, Georeferencer, and Kue (our LLM agent inside QGIS), we realized that GIS is at an inflection point. But existing mapping software was neither powerful enough to allow for synchronous collaboration with AI agents, nor open source to allow the community to build on top of it. If we want to get the most out of LLMs, we need to create our own GIS that is purposefully designed for AI—Mundi. With Mundi, you collaborate with Kue, our AI GIS agent, to edit your map, rather than physically interacting with tools as you would in a legacy GIS.

Can LLMs invent better ways to train LLMs? At Sakana AI, we’re pioneering AI-driven methods to automate AI research and discovery. We’re excited to release DiscoPOP: a new SOTA preference optimization algorithm that was discovered and written by an LLM! Our method leverages LLMs to propose and implement new preference optimization algorithms. We then train models with those algorithms and evaluate their performance, providing feedback to the LLM. By repeating this process for multiple generations in an evolutionary loop, the LLM discovers many highly-performant and novel preference optimization objectives! Paper: GitHub: Model: We proudly collaborated with the University of Oxford (Foerster Lab for AI Research) and Cambridge University (Mihaela van der Schaar) on this groundbreaking project. Looking ahead, we envision a future where AI-driven research reduces the need for extensive human intervention and computational resources. This will accelerate scientific discoveries and innovation, pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve.

The people who are making millions of dollars with A.I. aren’t smarter than you. They didn’t build the tools they’re using, they aren’t writing algorithms. They just saw all the new A.I. tools available and looked for ways to use them. They just tried while you did nothing.

His boss told him to teach a new hire how to tig weld in a single shift. & then tried to write him up for his response. My question is why would he hire someone to Tig weld if they didn't know how to Tig weld. That's a skilled trade. What the heck.

Palestine vs the Algorithm! Palestine versus the Algorithm is a fight happening every day. As the Israelis kill journalists, the Algorithm suppresses what they say. The Algorithm has been programmed to mute talk of Palestinian genocide; To gate keep the starvation and the slaughter, and the daily massacres to hide. Palestine versus the Algorithm is one of the great battles of our time. As the Algorithm supports mass murder, TikTok, Youtube, X, all fall in line. But the Algorithm is man-made and paid for by a Zionist agenda, To pervert social media platforms into becoming genocide defenders. Palestine versus the Algorithm, or Technology versus the People. The Algorithm is anti-human, blocking the good that would end the evil. It’s not only Palestinians that the Algorithm is designed to defeat, It's everyone who stands up for life and justice, and who refuses to retreat. Subscribe and Follow Mama on Rumble:

Yesterday, I was invited to speak at the 17th edition of the 60 Million Congress in Miami. Together with other experts in the space, we talked about AI and its effects on human psychology and society. A couple of takeaways: ▫️ Using AI can remove the need for critical thinking, just like GPS removed the need for spatial recognition. ▫️ Soon, AI chatbots will become our friends and partners and could potentially gain equal rights as humans. ▫️ AI is the most disruptive technology ever, and it will influence society more than anything we ever introduced. Had some interesting conversations afterward with companies interested in working with Vertical AI to fine-tune their own domain specific model 🤝 Shout-out to THE ₿IRB NEST for getting us on the panel. On to the next stage to spread the word of Vertical AI.
