Interesting point. Another example of why Nobody should grade their own homework
Muse did WHAT? It synced 187,000+ rows of someone’s imessages even though they declined message access during setup. The user's "no" has to live outside the model and be a deterministic check. The bigger lesson is about personal agents in general: trust has to be earned before intelligence gets spent, no matter how smart the system is. Treat autonomy like a credit line. An agent product needs phases, and evidence unlocks them, not the roadmap. > Phase 1: Predictable, a little boring. Does what it's told. Boring is the point: you're building a clean record. Unlock: Adoption. the user is retained for X days and rarely has to correct it. > Phase 2: More intelligence, same boundaries Proactive suggestions, recall across contexts, etc. inside granted scopes. Unlock: Trust. The user adds a card, connects another tools, etc. > Phase 3: Delegated action Starts acting without asking on the things it has a track record on. Three practices to run it: Staged rollouts. Every new capability ships to a small cohort first, behind a kill switch for that capability, not the whole app. Experiments with guardrail metrics. When you're testing more autonomy, engagement can't be the only success metric. Watch undo rate, override rate, and permission revocations. Failure analysis. Permission failure: the agent did something it wasn't allowed to do. Judgment failure: it was allowed, and chose badly. that's a model problem, and the right move may be lowering the limit on that scope until your evals catch up. Intelligence and trust are two different axes. Muse has the first but assumed the second.

Starting the day on the main stage. 🎤 #TrustWeek opens with a look at where governance is headed as AI changes how teams work across privacy, risk, security, data, consent, and compliance.

Day 1 of #allinsummit was such an inspiring set of conversations from @satyanadella @JensenHuang @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump (so many others). The future is bright. I left more optimistic about America, about AI, and about my own drive to just go build and create something great 💪 Well done @theallinpod 👏

Harvey is a great example of how American companies are building world-class specialized models: they took an open-source base (Kimi K3), post-trained it on legal data, and delivered state-of-the-art performance on legal benchmarks at a fraction of the cost of frontier models. Restrictions that kneecap open models would do nothing to stop Chinese labs from shipping the next Kimi. They would, however, cripple the ability of startups like Harvey to create high-performance, low-cost vertical models. Of course some of the closed labs would love this — it eliminates their competition.
Introducing Tenet, our first model post-trained for legal. Tenet is a Kimi K3 base that we post-trained with @FireworksAI_HQ on a corpus of publicly available legal data, synthetic data, and human expert data simulating long-horizon legal work. Training increases Tenet's all-pass rate by 82% on LAB and 22% on LAB Contracts relative to the Kimi K3 base model. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on LAB Contracts and places second on LAB. These gains generalize to other leading agentic benchmarks including @mercor's Apex Agents - Corporate Law, @crosbylegal's Redline Bench, and @scale_AI's Professional Reasoning Bench. Tenet is also optimized for token efficiency, operating at less than a fourth the cost of leading foundation models. We additionally post-trained three specialist models for Tenet to use as subagents: 1) M&A Diligence: post-trained with @baseten on our LAB Diligence environment in an RLM harness, this model is optimized for high-scale, long-horizon tasks. 2) Review Tables: trained with @appliedcompute on our Review Table environment, this model is state-of-the-art and cost-effective at high-volume document review and structured data extraction. 3) Firm Knowledge: trained with @EngramLab on our synthetic law firm environment, this model is optimized to learn and search over a firm's knowledge via memory and structured notes. More details on model training, environment design, benchmarking, results, and more in the article by @gabepereyra below. What's next for Harvey’s research? - Scaling LAB to more jurisdictions, practice areas and workflows - Scaling compute to bring new generalist models and capabilities to Harvey More to come soon.

I can't imaging too many software companies where constant outages are so "accepted" by everyone. Clearly indicator of a strong grip on the market.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models. images.nvidia.com/pdf/Open-W…

We had a team of agents rebuild SQLite from its 835-page manual. It created a replica in Rust which passed 100% of a held-out test suite. Interestingly, cost varied 15x depending on which model mix we used.
