(0:00-3:08): Matrix Multiplication Reimagined by AlphaEvolve For 56 years, Strassen's 49-op recursive method for 4x4 general matrix multiplication was unbeaten. AlphaEvolve found a 48-op solution for complex-valued 4x4 matrices. It evolved a search algorithm for tensor decomposition (matrix multiplication's twin). Starting with a basic Adam optimizer & reconstruction loss, it ingeniously used complex numbers and developed advanced components like specialized initializers _get_init_fn [SEE PAPER FIG 3, TOP RIGHT] and custom loss functions with annealing schedules [SEE PAPER FIG 3, MIDDLE RIGHT].

(3:08-3:37): AlphaEvolve's Architecture: Evolutionary Coding AlphaEvolve uses an LLM ensemble (Gemini 2.0 Flash & Pro) in an evolutionary loop. 🔴 Core: LLMs propose code changes (diffs) to an initial program. 🟡 Evaluation: User-defined functions (h) score new program variants. 🟢 Progression: Successful variants populate an evolutionary database (inspired by MAP-Elites & island models) to guide future improvements. The system (detailed in [SEE PAPER FIG 1]) is asynchronous, maximizing discovery throughput.

(4:21-5:14): The Spectrum of Discovery: Interpretable to Intricate AlphaEvolve produces: 🔴 Simple & Interpretable Code: E.g., concise Python for data center scheduling [SEE PAPER FIG 5] or Verilog for TPU optimizations. Easy to debug & deploy. 🔵 Complex & Novel Algorithms: For hard science like matrix multiplication, it evolved sophisticated search routines with non-obvious techniques (e.g., time-evolving quantization losses [SEE PAPER FIG 3, MIDDLE RIGHT]).

(5:14-6:26 & 7:11-8:18): Creativity: Starting Points & Evolution AlphaEvolve's creativity adapts: 🔴 From Basic Skeletons: With minimal initial code (e.g., Adam optimizer for matrix multiplication), it builds complex solutions, leveraging base LLM knowledge (18 mutations led to the advanced tensor algorithm [SEE PAPER FIG 3]). 🟢 Refining Seeded Ideas: Given more developed initial code (e.g., human domain knowledge), it focuses on maximizing that concept's potential. Evolution maintains diversity for broad exploration.

Topics range from gas fee reductions and sub-block times to ZK chain status, bridge connectivity, ETF plans, and the infamous 70B unburn. They emphasize transparency, iterative feedback, and tighter ties with moving forward. 🕒 Timestamps: 🔴 00:00–07:15 — Intro: Karl sets structure, questions condensed 🔵 07:15–14:40 — Meet Mirko: global background, new leadership role 🔴 14:40–21:30 — Meet Emily: external lead, user + partner engagement 🔵 21:30–30:00 — Why Cronos? Real-world rails + renewed mission clarity 🔴 30:00–39:10 — Chasing metas vs building core value 🔵 39:10–47:55 — Labs as facilitator, not driver: lessons from IMOs 🔴 47:55–55:20 — Cross-ecosystem presence + KOL/marketing focus 🔵 55:20–64:45 — Expanding builder support: referrals, microgrants, on-the-ground hiring 🔴 64:45–72:10 — Accelerators, grants, ambassador program reboot 🔵 72:10–79:25 — Sub 1 second-block time + 10x gas fee cuts confirmed 🔴 79:25–85:40 — Infrastructure, account abstraction, DeFi onboarding 🔵 85:40–95:00 — ETF strategy & utility for 70B unburned CRO 🔴 95:00–105:10 — Community unease: burn optics, voting power, and decentralization 🔵 105:10–113:45 — Reframing onboarding: magical DeFi moments > swaps 🔴 113:45–122:30 — partnership depth: wallet, events, marketing 🔵 122:30–131:20 — Discovery flows: puush vs abstract, on-chain wallet ideas 🔴 131:20–137:00 — Influencer strategy: independence from 🔵 137:00–142:50 — One-off Qs: builder gas revenue, roadmap favs, consensus upgrades 🔴 142:50–End — ZK chain clarity, AI agent slowdown, Cronos ONE 🔴 Intro: Karl sets structure, questions condensed (00:00–07:15) Karl opens the AMA by setting boundaries: no stage access, no DMs, and all submitted questions compressed into key themes. The goal is transparency, clarity, and maximum signal over noise. 🔵 Meet Mirko: global background, new leadership role (07:15–14:40) Mirko introduces himself as the new head of Cronos, highlighting his global career from Italy to Boston to Hong Kong. A founding member of the ecosystem, he now takes the lead on revamping strategy, growth, and builder outreach. 🔴 Meet Emily: external lead, user + partner engagement (14:40–21:30) Emily shares her role in ecosystem development, communications, and partner coordination. She’s deeply networked with the crofam and builders, and committed to amplifying future rollouts when timing allows. 🔵 Why Cronos? Real-world rails + renewed mission clarity (21:30–30:00) When asked "Why Cronos?", Mirko leans on its real-world ties — especially to massive reach. The chain aims to carve out a unique role by bridging DeFi with mainstream access and tangible user value. 🔴 Chasing metas vs building core value (30:00–39:10) Mirko says chains shouldn’t pivot with every new hype meta. Instead, Cronos should strengthen builder pipelines and let narratives emerge organically — like they have with Polygon, Solana, etc. 🔵 Labs as facilitator, not driver: lessons from IMOs (39:10–47:55) Cronos Labs will stop trying to run the show during hype cycles and instead enable projects through amplification, not control. This is a direct answer to past criticism over things like IMOs and over-managed launches. 🔴 Cross-ecosystem presence + KOL/marketing focus (47:55–55:20) More crypto-native KOLs, builder referrals, affiliate campaigns, and potential guerilla tactics (like ice cream trucks) are on the way. Marketing will no longer be treated as an afterthought. 🔵 Expanding builder support: referrals, microgrants, on-the-ground hiring (55:20–64:45) The ecosystem team is scaling — more Emilys inbound. There’s interest in hyper-granular support: $200 microgrants, dev mentorship, even team matchmaking. No program is sacred if it doesn’t work — rapid iteration is the new standard. 🔴 Accelerators, grants, ambassador program reboot (64:45–72:10) Grants will return with clearer segmentation. Mirko confirms a rebooted ambassador program is coming — with better definitions, better rewards, and no more ambiguity about their role in decision-making. 🔵 Sub 1 second-block time + 10x gas fee cuts confirmed (72:10–79:25) Cronos will shift to sub-block times and drastically lower gas fees — 10x reductions confirmed. This positions it better against fast-moving competitors and opens the door to UX upgrades in trading and microtransactions. 🔴 Infrastructure, account abstraction, DeFi onboarding (79:25–85:40) Karl asks whether onboarding should be swaps or experiences. Mirko wants onboarding flows that reveal the “magic moment” of DeFi: earning, borrowing, community, upside. Abstracts and embedded paths will help. 🔵 ETF strategy & utility for 70B unburned CRO (85:40–95:00) The 70B CRO reissuance is meant to fuel strategic growth — especially around ETFs. Karl pushes on dilution concerns, but Mirko insists it’s not a sell-and-dump; it’s a capital war chest to deploy tactically. 🔴 Community unease: burn optics, voting power, and decentralization (95:00–105:10) Karl raises concerns about reintroducing supply while promising quarterly burns. Mirko says the burns will evolve. On governance, they admit: power is concentrated. Better education around decentralization and governance is needed. 🔵 Reframing onboarding: magical DeFi moments > swaps (105:10–113:45) A swap isn’t the hook. Getting a loan without KYC? Winning CRO from a meme coin? That’s stickier. Mirko and Emily emphasize the importance of connecting users to these breakthrough experiences in smoother, cleaner flows. 🔴 partnership depth: wallet, events, marketing (113:45–122:30) Karl presses for clearer co-marketing. Mirko confirms strong internal cooperation — from product to promotion. Emily hints at new events and campaign opportunities rolling out in the near future. 🔵 Discovery flows: cronos vs abstract, on-chain wallet ideas (122:30–131:20) There’s alignment on improving wallet-side discovery. Cronos wants seamless transitions from centralized onboarding to real dApps. Wallet banners and indexing upgrades are underway. 🔴 Influencer strategy: independence from (131:20–137:00) Cronos will build its own creator ecosystem rather than rely on influencer pool. Emily wants aligned voices, not just market hype machines. 🔵 One-off Qs: builder gas revenue, roadmap favs, consensus upgrades (137:00–142:50) Gas revenue for builders is under review. Pioneer Season 2 is still in the backlog. Consensus changes are being explored if speed upgrades demand it. Emily is most excited about expanding builder team support. 🔴 ZK chain clarity, AI agent slowdown, Cronos ONE (142:50–End) ZK is powerful but early. The team is still investing and sees potential, but Cronos EVM will be the priority for now. AI agent development has slowed industry-wide. Internal tools like are still in testing phase.

Manish Gupta, Senior Director at Google DeepMind India, sits down with Aakrit Vaish and Pratyush Choudhury at Mumbai Tech Week for a rare on-record conversation about the frontier AI research happening out of Bangalore. Gupta makes a pointed case against the narrative that India lacks AI research talent: a team of roughly 75 researchers, a third of them fresh out of college, producing work on par with the best in the world and feeding directly into Gemini. The conversation goes deep on what DeepMind India actually builds, why Gemini is considered the most efficient model on the planet, and what India needs to become a research leader rather than a fast follower. In this conversation, they go deep on: 0:00 Intro: Manish Gupta of DeepMind India at Mumbai Tech Week 1:23 What DeepMind India does, and why it's a "mystery" 1:59 The three roles: languages, efficiency, continual learning 2:19 The Haryanvi demo at Google I/O and the cultural playbook 2:38 Making models efficient: from mobile to servers 3:25 Matryoshka transformers and why nested models win 4:20 Why Gemini is the most efficient model on the planet 5:11 Continual learning: using Gemini to improve Gemini 5:50 Google's India plans: consumers, agents, enterprise, government 7:44 Government officials live-coding with AI Studio and NotebookLM 8:30 The India AI talent debate and how the team is structured 10:25 Why India lacks courage and R&D investment, not talent 11:16 DeepMind's global labs and India's outsized impact 13:15 On-device AI: Gemma 3n and 4n 14:08 The headline: 75 world-class researchers in Bangalore 14:58 25 of the 75 are fresh out of college If you're a founder, builder or researcher thinking about AI, frontier models, or India's place in global AI research, this one's for you.

🔵 3 officers charged with criminal offences involving sexual misconduct 🔵 3 serving officers of the Calgary Police Service (CPS) have been charged in relation to 2 separate, but linked investigations. These investigations were carried out by the CPS with oversight by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) & involve allegations of sexual misconduct. The investigation began in January 2025. It is alleged that an officer met women during the course of his duties & had, or attempted to have, personal & sexual contact with them, both on & off duty. Const. Adam McBride, has been charged with 4 counts of breach of trust under the Criminal Code of Canada. 📌 Const. McBride, a 14-year member, was relieved from duty without pay & effective Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025, is no longer an employee of the CPS. He will next appear in court on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026. 📌 It is alleged that another officer was aware of & encouraged, or facilitated, the alleged conduct of Const. McBride. Const. David Harms has been charged with 2 counts of breach of trust under the Criminal Code of Canada. He is a 17-year member & was relieved from duty without pay. He will next appear in court on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026. 📌 During the investigation, direct messages were uncovered where a photo of a partially naked woman was shared without consent. Const. Tyler Hobberstad has been charged with 1 count of breach of trust & 1 count of distribution of an intimate image under the Criminal Code of Canada. He is a 6-year member & was relieved from duty without pay. He will next appear in court on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026. We recognize a power imbalance exists between police officers & members of the public. Anyone who believes they have received inappropriate contact of a personal nature by a police officer is strongly encouraged to report such circumstances to the Professional Standards Section, or as of Monday, Dec. 1, 2025, to the new Police Review Commission. ℹ️ The Professional Standards Section can be reached by phone at 403-428-5904, or by filing an online report through the PSS portal: ⚖️ Case #: CA25120746 / CA25362181 | 5464 🌐

DROPS E35: Core DAO 🔶 - Bitcoin yield without giving up your Bitcoin Rich is one of the initial contributors to Core DAO, the leading Bitcoin scaling solution. He's also a long-time Zcash holder and early backer of Z Protocol , a new privacy chain built on Core's Satoshi Plus consensus.

‍ ‼️🚨🔵PRESSER🔵🚨‼️ 🎙Enzo Maresca's Full Pre-Wolves Press Conference - Part 1/2: 🔹 Enzo Maresca on long journey: “We are okay 👍. The players rested yesterday 🛌 and we have a session this afternoon ⚽️💪.” 🔹 Enzo Maresca on Lavia injury latest: “We don’t have an update at the moment ⏳. We need to wait some hours ⌛ for all the checks 🧠🩺. At the moment, he is injured 🤕. He is in pain 😔 — we need to do all the checks 🧾.” 🔹 Enzo Maresca on Pedro Neto: “Pedro had a session with the physio yesterday on the pitch 🏃‍♂️💆‍♂️ — it was good 👍. Today he will train with us ⚽️ and we will make the final decision 🔍.” 🔹 Enzo Maresca on Rooney comments on rotation: “I said already many times 🎙️: we are in an era where anyone can say what they want 💭. I said after the Qarabag game ⚔️: since I joined the club 💙, it is my view to rotate players 🔄. When you don’t win games 😤, nobody agrees 🤷‍♂️. When it’s Andrey Santos 🇧🇷, Jorrel Hato 🇳🇱, Joao Pedro 🇧🇷 — it’s not about rotation. They’re young 🌱, you have to give them chances to make mistakes so they can become better 💪⭐.” 🔹 Enzo Maresca on whether he liked rotation as a player: “I loved rotation as a player 😄🔄⚽️.” 🔹 Enzo Maresca on rotation: “I think football is different now ⚙️ compared to years ago 🕰️ because of physicality and intensity 💨💥. 65–70 games a season 🔢, Champions League 🏆, Premier League 🏟️ — you need to rotate 🔁. This is my personal view 💬.” 🔹 Enzo Maresca on whether rotating defenders causes inconsistency: “First of all, with the Levi injury 🤕 we lost our best defender in terms of build-up 🧱. From there, we try to solve problems 🧩 and adjust things 🔧. We try to find different solutions 🔍. Last game, we kept a clean sheet 🧤 with Trev and Wes 💪. They told me this morning ☀️ that last year after 11 league games we had 2️⃣ clean sheets, and this year after 11 we have 4️⃣ 🧼. So, I don’t know 🤷‍♂️😅.” 🔹 Enzo Maresca on if they are where he wants to be this season: “We try to win all the games 🏁⚽️. This season, the expectation has risen 📈 around the team 💙. The big difference from last season is exactly that: expectation 🧠🔥. The numbers are there 📊 and we can probably be better 📈. I said many times: I don’t like to think about April, May, June 📅 — I like to think if we can win tomorrow 🫡. Then comes the international break 🌍✈️ and we go again 💪🔵.” #CFC 💙 | #Chelsea 🔵 | #CHEWOL ⚔️ | #Interviews 🎤 📲 CFC_ChelseaFC via Telegram

🇷🇼🇨🇩 Rwanda–DRC Peace Deal: Kagame Full Interview — Key Points President Paul Kagame sat down with Steve Clemons (Al Jazeera) to break down the Trump-brokered peace deal between Rwanda & the DRC. 2/ 🔴 “Trump created pressure that never existed before.” Kagame calls the deal historic — the first time a US President intervenes personally at this level to push Kigali & Kinshasa toward peace. 3/ 🟡 Root Causes Kagame says the crisis goes back to: • The 1994 Genocide • Refugee flows into DRC • Security spillover Rwanda has “warned about for decades.” 4/ 🔵 On Trump’s diplomacy Kagame praises practical results over speeches: “I like what brings results. High-level talk usually creates more problems.” 5/ 🟢 On choosing US & Qatar over African mediation Kagame rejects the claim: “Tshisekedi himself went to Qatar and requested Doha talks. Rwanda never avoided African frameworks.” 6/ 🔴 Two parallel negotiation tracks Kagame explains: • Doha track → DRC vs AFC/M23 • Washington track → Rwanda vs DRC And both converged into the final deal. 7/ 🟡 Can Tshisekedi control the East? Kagame avoids a direct response but stresses: “Implementation matters more than promises.” 8/ 🔵 On minerals & US–China rivalry Kagame highlights Rwanda’s own resources — tungsten, tin, tantalum, lithium — and rejects mineral smuggling accusations: “Not everything exported from Rwanda comes from Congo.” 9/ 🟢 Kagame says Rwanda is unfairly targeted “Many neighbors trade far more with DRC than Rwanda — yet Rwanda is always the accused.” 10/ 🔴 Development vs destabilization Kagame says Rwanda cannot be building itself while destabilizing others: “It’s impossible.” 11/ 🟡 Why this deal is different According to Kagame: ✔ Strong US pressure ✔ Qatar deeply engaged ✔ New accountability mechanisms ✔ Rwanda & DRC finally reached the first step together 12/ 🔵 No guarantees — but new hope Kagame: “No one can guarantee 100%. But we now have a path, a framework, and people who will hold us accountable.” 13/ 🟢 What determines success • Rwanda’s implementation • DRC’s consistency • US & Qatar follow-through • Regional leaders supporting the process 14/ 🔴 Closing Moment Steve Clemons: “History will judge this moment.” Kagame: “We’ll use this opportunity well.”
