i replicated this and tried a subset of @rikiyatakehi et al's exact experiments on new and old models
its pretty clear that only the latest frontier models have these capabilities

Just like with oil, the market outside the majors is the true marginal market for compute.

Today, we’re announcing Varda’s $250M Series D raise, bringing the total amount of capital raised to $598 million with a $1.6B valuation.
This funding will help us build more vehicles, grow pharmaceutical partnerships, and advance toward the first medicine manufactured in space for patients on Earth.

Data centers are not only critical to future US innovation, but also being built responsibly despite the noise. Closed loop cooling keeps their water use far below everyday staples like almonds.

our latest research proposes a framework for setting incentives to deter misbehavior in DePINs.
here are the main insights and and an intuitive explanation of the paper's results.
setting incentives in DePIN has been guess-and-check for too long.
our new paper & widget grounds DePIN incentive design in a formal framework:
Replying to @helium
@helium has had close to ~10% of its online nodes classified as malicious on a denylist, with 25-40M in rewards paid out to cheating nodes. @ionet faced a spoof of over 1.8M fake GPUs in one day
Our new paper tackles this misbehavior by deriving the conditions to set incentives that deter cheaters. We also shipped a widget that calculates the right incentives for your protocol design:
our new research frames DePIN quality control as a repeated game. in the paper, we derive a ‘deterrence ratio’ that directly relates verticals to the right incentives for deterring unwanted behavior.

two critiques of dePIN have proven to be the most relevant:
1. way too much inflation
2. quality control
if you look closely enough, the second issue contributes significantly to the first one and should probably be robustly solved first
This has my full support.
Jensen is right.
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.
