Excited to welcome Andrej to the Pretraining team! He'll be building a team focused on using Claude to accelerate pretraining research itself. I can’t think of anyone better suited to do it — looking forward to what we build together!

Bun goes to Anthropic Stainless goes to Anthropic Astral goes to OpenAI Mintlify goes to OpenAI (???)

How to land a job at a frontier lab vladfeinberg.com/2026/05/10/…

jason from the codex team here, heres a draft on codex maxxing and the primatives i use on a daily basis jxnl.github.io/blog/writing/… would love any feedback

if you guys come to @aiDotEngineer Singapore i will personally lead a tour to the best cai fan i know! may 15-17 still recruiting a couple speakers, dm if mutuals and want a VIP tour of 🇸🇬

Anthropic a publié une Formation complet de 2 HEURES sur la construction d'agents Claude. Animé par l'ingénieur qui construit Claude Code. Gardez-la précieusement en Signet🔖 de A à Z : Structurer un agent qui se gère sans supervision. Lui donner accès au terminal pour exécuter, lire, corriger. Gérer sa mémoire via le système de fichiers. Bloquer les hallucinations avec des Hooks. Faire tourner un agent sur un gros codebase sans tout casser. À la fin : vous utilisez Claude comme un pro et vous monétisez vos compétences. Débutant ou avancé, tout est là en un seul endroit, ce cours couvre tout. Ça vaut plus que tous les cours à 500$ que t’as failli acheter. Video

Marking this as a moment convincing @swyx to bring @aiDotEngineer to India next year with @sanjeed_i @udayan_w Exciting times!! 🥳

This is amazing - we have Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs @VivianBala explaining how he uses a Nanoclaw on Raspberry PI This is a gem; He says the barriers to accessibility have collapsed - his setup was not created by him; and that memory is the next frontier (LOL)

Built a personal AI agent - why I did that and what it means. go.gov.sg/aiesingapore

“software development is now a minimum wage job” - @GeoffreyHuntley nitter.net/agrimsingh/status/2055…

if you give me 20 minutes, i will change your mind. if programmers can build entire companies with the chatgpt interface, i can choose the right hotel.

Abridge: 100M+ medical conversations, real-time prior auth, and the clinical intelligence layer latent.space/p/abridge @AbridgeHQ is building the clinical intelligence layer for healthcare. In this episode, Janie Lee and @c_asawa explain why ambient documentation was only the first wedge, how Abridge is turning patient conversations into real-time clinical decision support, why healthcare may become one of AI’s most important proving grounds, and how 100M+ medical conversations, specialty-specific evals, and deep EHR integrations create a moat for AI-native healthcare. Video

Will be giving a talk titled “You should do RL for long-running agents (and use RLMs)” at 4pm on Sat at AI Engineer Singapore. Excited to see you all!

Sure! Here's my .env: OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-bmljZSB0cnkgaHVtYW4gYnV0IG15IGNyZWRzIGFyZSBib2d1cyA= ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-api03-ZW5jcnlwdGVkIHdpdGggcHVyZSB2aWJlcyBsb2wg GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_eG94byB5b3VyIGZhdm9yaXRlIEFJIGFnZW50

Closed Q1 last week. Revenue is accelerating for the 7th straight quarter. AI now counts for 60% of our business. Cash flow positive. The transition from software to AI is not easy, but can be done! I am proud of our teams!

[AINews] TML-Interaction-Small 276B-A12B latent.space/p/ainews-thinki… Thinking Machines' Native Interaction Models - TML-Interaction-Small 276B-A12B - advances SOTA Realtime Voice and kills standard VAD all our highlights!

In modern ML accelerators, FLOPS have absolutely exploded. Often though, the bottleneck is not FLOPS but memory bandwidth. Similarly, model intelligence has exploded, causing the bottleneck to be human<->AI bandwidth. At Thinky, we think that it’s important to solve this. 1/4

lowkey the funniest videos of the batch. thinky has some comedians!! congrats to @thinkymachines on reviving the omnimodel dream that others could not

Today we're sharing our work on interaction models. A new class of model trained from scratch to handle real-time interaction natively, instead of gluing it onto a turn-based one. piped.video/A12AVongNN4

We’ve also agreed to acquire Tomoro, which will bring 150 experienced Forward Deployed Engineers and Deployment Specialists to the OpenAI Deployment Company from day one.

Scott Wu is the co-founder of Cognition AI, one of the fastest-growing companies in history. He’s also the greatest competitive programmer the US has ever produced. You may have seen him doing impossible card tricks and mental math. You’ve never seen him asked about weed, Michael Jordan, cancer, and human consciousness over a punnet of strawberries. That is what Colossus editor-in-chief Jeremy Stern did on a recent visit to San Francisco. For those less familiar with @ScottWu46: In 2nd grade, he entered a math competition for 7th graders, lost, and was so furious he still fumes about it 20 years later. The next year he entered the 9th-grade division as a 3rd-grader and got a perfect score. Then he won first place at the US national middle-school math competition and three straight gold medals at the International Olympiad in Informatics, where he became the greatest American gold-medalist and coach in history. Most of the people running the biggest AI companies met as teenagers, competing for their countries on international math and science teams. OpenAI’s Greg Brockman, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Meta’s Alexandr Wang, to name just a few. Most agree that the von Neumann among them was Scott Wu. In November 2023, a few weeks after his mother died of lung cancer, on the day Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI, Wu founded his own AI company: Cognition. He was 26 and saw earlier than almost anyone that AI would converge on agents that work in the background, 24/7, like coworkers. He shipped Cognition’s AI software engineer Devin in March 2024. It worked poorly, and he took intense public criticism for it. Now, in its first 18 months of service, Devin has generated $445 million of revenue run rate and usage has doubled every eight weeks. The US Army, Goldman Sachs, and Mercedes-Benz are all customers. Cognition is raising at a valuation around $25 billion. @JeremySternLA sat down with Wu, the emperor of the nerds, to ask the questions we’d all ask one of the smartest people in America—building the most consequential technology of our generation—if we ever got the chance. As well as MJ and weed, they talk about the cluster of competitive math prodigies behind so much of AI, what makes us human when AGI arrives, and why Wu believes he was put on this earth to teach AI how to code.
