What happens when AI can write the genetic code for life itself? Eric Nguyen (Eric Nguyen) is the co-founder of Radical Numerics, the lab behind the models that generated the first genome ever created entirely by AI, a bacteriophage that had never existed in nature until it wrote one.... He believes DNA should be treated the way language is treated: something a model can read, then write. With more DNA sitting in public databases than there is text on the entire internet, he sees an almost unmined field, one where the models built to make sense of it remain, by his own admission, no more sophisticated than linear regression.

🚨David Friedberg: AI is starting to identify and solve problems on its own “I'll give you a science corner example: there's this Evo 2 model that they publish at the Arc Institute, which Patrick Collison, you know, is the main funder and chairman.” “So that Evo 2 model, they just ingested all the DNA data they could find in the world.” “Trillions and trillions of base paired data that they ingested and then they looked at patterns in DNA. And that's it.” “They had no context for what the DNA represented, they had no context for the concept of genes, none of the structured understanding of what that DNA does, what it is, and you know what it did?” “They fed in the BRCA gene variant and the thing output a warning saying, ‘I think that this is a pathogenic variant to DNA,’ without having any context.” “This is the breast cancer allele.” “And it didn't have any knowledge and it wasn't trained on that at all.” “It had no knowledge that there are pathogenic variants for cancer, and it identified that this was a genetic variant that can cause some sort of pathogenic outcome in the organism.” “That's a great example where there's a lack of understanding at the human level on what really drives some of the patterns in nature, the patterns in society, the patterns in behavior that are kind of emergent phenomena perhaps, that these AI models are starting to identify.”

TESLA ISN'T JUST AHEAD IN AI, IT'S AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE MORE EFFICIENT THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD "I actually think Tesla is ahead of the rest of the world in intelligence density of AI by an order of magnitude or more This is going to sound like a pretty bold statement, but I know what the intelligence efficiency of the big models are like, Grok and a bunch of the other models Tesla’s AI is, in terms of its memory efficiency, I think more than an order of magnitude better. The Tesla AI is very compute-efficient and very memory-efficient One of the metrics one should consider for any given AI model is the intelligence per gigabyte. Especially when you’re constrained on RAM, having an AI that has very high intelligence density per gigabyte for a given number of gigabytes, how much functionality can you get out of it" - Elon Musk

Tune Studio is an end-to-end platform for developing applications using Large Language Models. So far, I haven't seen any other platform like this one. You can do everything here: 1. You can curate your data. 2. Use the playground to play with different models and try your ideas. 3. Fine-tune an open-source model on your data. 4. Deploy the model when you are done. This is awesome for anyone building generative AI applications. You can use Tune Studio to work with any of the open-source models out there. They were one of the few companies to host Llama 2 and Llama 3 before anyone else. Here is a link to check it out: One of their main selling points is that Tune Studio scales! You don't have to worry about serving your model to lots of users. They also have built-in user management, authentication, on-prem support, user context management, and pretty much everything you need to build generative AI applications. Thanks to the Tune team for collaborating with me on this post. We are living through the best years of development tools for AI developers. The field is unstoppable.

Announcing the Open Model Series: a new series on open source AI models, with merve of Hugging Face. Hugging Face is the open model hub: it hosts model weights, datasets, evals, & demo apps, and maintains the open-source libraries (like transformers) used to run and train them. I think of it like GitHub, but for AI models. You can download open models and run them on your own machines. In this series we'll cover what open source and open weight models are, how they work, how to run them yourself, and why they're important. By the way - this video is edited entirely with Claude! I can make a tutorial on how I did it. If there's a question you want answered about open models, leave it in the comments. We will read them all. Episode 1 is out soon.

Ben Affleck on the single hardest thing for AI to learn in creative work: He breaks down how large language and video models actually work, and where they fall short: "A library of vectors of meaning and transformers that interpret context… But they're just cross-pollinating things that exist. Nothing new is created." Affleck concedes the point but pivots to the deeper issue of taste: "Craftsman is knowing how to work. Art is knowing when to stop. And I think knowing when to stop is going to be a very difficult thing for AI to learn because it's taste." He adds that current AI also suffers from "lack of consistency, lack of controls, lack of quality." But Affleck is clear-eyed about where AI will hit hard. The visual effects industry is in his crosshairs: "I wouldn't like to be in the visual effects business. They're in trouble because what cost a lot of money is now going to cost a lot less and it's going to hammer that space more than it already is." His take: maybe it shouldn't take a thousand people to render something. AI will make backgrounds more convincing, change the color of a shirt, fix mistakes. It might even let studios produce "two seasons of House of the Dragon in a year instead of one." That's compression, not replacement. Affleck then makes a fascinating prediction about where AI actually creates value long-term, and it's in consumption rather than production: "Eventually AI will allow you to ask for your own episode of succession where you could say, I'll pay $30 and can you make me a 45 minute episode..." Ben Affleck sees this as the real opportunity: "My hope for AI is that it's an additional revenue stream that can replace DVD which took 15 to 20% out of the economy of filmmaking." He imagines a future of negotiated visual rights, where fans can buy an "Iron Man pack" and look like the Avengers in their own TikToks, the same way they used to buy Halloween costumes at the store. The throughline of Affleck's framework is simple: craftsmanship can be automated, but art is knowing when to stop, and that requires taste.

SITUATION EXPLAINED: A new generation of AI labs are betting that world models are the path to general intelligence that can interact with the real world. We had General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte on MTS to explain what world models are, and why intuitively world models offer a clearer path towards general intelligence than LLMs. For humans, text is a technology for compressing information about the unfolding, three-dimensional world around us and communicating it to other people. When LLMs reason about the world, they do so by reconstructing the world through text. World models work by modeling the three-dimensional world at the architecture level and then allowing agents to interact with that world. Unlike an LLM, which understands space and time through text, world models perform spatial and temporal reasoning natively. General Intuition hopes to use world models to create embodied AI—machines that can reason and act in the real world. But other companies are also pushing the frontier in this space. Odyssey ML today announced a multi-agent world model, Agora-1. Their launch video shows four participants interacting with a real-time world model simulation of GoldenEye, a first-person shooter for the N64. A playable preview of the GoldenEye simulation is available on their site.

SITUATION EXPLAINED: 70% of frontier model queries could run locally for free. clem 🤗, co-founder and CEO of Hugging Face: "There was an interesting study from Stanford published last year showing that 70% of the queries that people ask to ChatGPT could be accurately answered locally on your laptop. For free." "Most of the AI workloads that people do today with frontier models could be done by models that are cheaper, faster, more customizable, more controllable. And they don't do it because frankly it's a pain to pick the right model." "You're subsidized so you don't have to care because you have your subscription, so you route everything to Einstein. 'Hey Einstein, what's the weather today?'" "In normal life, he would be like, 'I'm not answering your silly question.' But because it's AI and subsidized by the AI labs, all the questions are getting routed to Einstein versus in an ideal world you have different models that are more specialized and better at answering your questions in different domains." "It's possible that routing is gonna redistribute a lot of the value capture from frontier models to a more long tail of models. It's like AI maturing... we are in the first phase where it's very simple, everyone using just one giant model. Now we're moving to the second phase."

SITUATION EXPLAINED: 70% of frontier model queries could run locally for free. clem 🤗, co-founder and CEO of Hugging Face: "There was an interesting study from Stanford published last year showing that 70% of the queries that people ask to ChatGPT could be accurately answered locally on your laptop. For free." "Most of the AI workloads that people do today with frontier models could be done by models that are cheaper, faster, more customizable, more controllable. And they don't do it because frankly it's a pain to pick the right model." "You're subsidized so you don't have to care because you have your subscription, so you route everything to Einstein. 'Hey Einstein, what's the weather today?'" "In normal life, he would be like, 'I'm not answering your silly question.' But because it's AI and subsidized by the AI labs, all the questions are getting routed to Einstein versus in an ideal world you have different models that are more specialized and better at answering your questions in different domains." "It's possible that routing is gonna redistribute a lot of the value capture from frontier models to a more long tail of models.

Marc Andreessen says if he were 18 right now, AI is "100% what I would be spending all of my time on." When the co-founder of a16z shares his opinion on what to do in tech, you listen. When he looks at AI today, he sees something that has never existed before in the history of software. AI agents can operate with very little human involvement. The reason is they can run on a Unix shell, the same command line system that has powered computers for decades. With a single instruction from you, it can access your files, your network, and your devices. Or you can instruct it to rewrite its own code. And even if it needs a new capability, you can allow it to write the code itself and install it. Here's a real example of this happening: One of his friends had his agent rewrite the firmware on a robot dog that could barely climb stairs. The agent rebuilt the entire control system. The dog is now a functional pet for his kids, and whenever something breaks, the agent just fixes the code again. Andreessen says no widely deployed software system in history has ever been able to understand and modify itself like this. He calls it "an incredible conceptual breakthrough." — Marc Andreessen (Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸), co-founder at a16z (a16z) on the Latent Space podcast (Latent.Space)

“If we can make AI make better chips, then those chips can power the next generation of AI models.” Startup ‘Ricursive Intelligence,’ founded by Azalia Mirhoseini and Anna Goldie, has been building AI tools to do just that: to speed up the chip design process. The company’s name is a nod to “recursive self-improvement,” the idea that AI could one day bootstrap itself without human involvement. If they’re successful, Goldie and Mirhoseini could revolutionize the way the chip industry works. At the moment, AI companies mostly optimize their models for certain chips. But in a future where chip design happens far faster, it could work the other way around: chips optimized for specific models. The founders are on the TIME100 AI, the list of people shaping the development of AI in 2026. See the full list:

This AI can read emotions better than you can. It was created by Hume (Hume AI) an AI research lab developing models that can read your face and your voice with uncanny accuracy. Their hope is that models that can read your emotions will help create AI that optimizes for human well-being. I sat down with Alan Cowen (Alan Cowen), the co-founder and CEO of Hume to talk about how all of this works: the science of emotion, AI that optimizes for human well-being, and more. Before starting Hume, Alan helped set up Google’s research into affective computing and got a Ph.D. in computational psychology from Berkeley. He's one of the bright lights in AI, and this was an incredible conversation. We get into: - What an emotion actually is - Why traditional psychological theories of emotion are inadequate - How Hume is able to model human emotions - How Hume's API enables developers to build empathetic voice interfaces - Applications of the model in customer service, gaming, and therapy - Why Hume is designed to optimize for human well-being instead of engagement - The ethical concerns around creating an AI that can interpret human emotions - The future of psychology as a science This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the science of emotion and the future of human-AI interactions. Watch! --- Timestamps: I tell Hume’s empathetic AI model a secret: 00:00:00 Introduction: 00:01:13 What traditional psychology tells us about emotions: 00:10:17 Alan’s radical approach to studying human emotion: 00:13:46 Methods that Hume’s AI model uses to understand emotion: 00:16:46 How the model accounts for individual differences: 00:21:08 My pet theory on why it’s been hard to make progress in psychology: 00:27:19 The ways in which Alan thinks Hume can be used: 00:38:12 How Alan is thinking about the API v. consumer product question: 00:41:22

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark says the AI frontier is about to cross a much stranger line than coding assistants. "My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it, 'Make a better version of yourself.' And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously." The reason: models have moved from basic coding into "the production of science itself" and the "unglamorous but fundamental engineering work" behind large-scale R&D. "An AI system that can build itself [has] big implications, and we'd like to start thinking about it now." That is the actual agent threshold: not demos, not chat UX, but AI becoming part of the loop that improves AI.
