I’m incredibly excited to share this video, in which I had the extraordinary privilege of mentioning the transformative impact of @OpenAI Codex and AI models on biomedicine, as well as what I’m working to develop using these technologies. I believe the video is beginning to air across various media outlets.
I hope it inspires others to explore the incredible possibilities AI is opening up for biomedical science and humanity! 🖖
I am truly grateful and thankful to OpenAI team for the opportunity and a tiny drop of contribution in this most important era of human existence.🙏

Introducing Omnii-1, our most powerful genome language model, and a major step toward general biological intelligence
In a world first, Omnii-1 designed the first AI-generated bacteriophages to be administered to a human patient with an antibiotic-resistant infection under compassionate use

I called this years ago.
I called it the intelligence optimum.
Once AI gets smart enough, more intelligence is longer a differentiating factor.
We're going to saturate intelligence, and then the competition will be on price, speed, reliability, extensibility, integration, and interoperability.
The hardware shops said this even longer ago: they expect intelligence to be fully commoditized by 2030.
Commoditized intelligence means that "SOTA model capability is table stakes"
OpenAI, Anthropic and other leading AI labs face a growing challenge: Better models aren't necessarily attracting more usage. A 10-point intelligence advantage now earns just 20% more developer traffic, down from nearly 69% in late 2025.

A new frontier for on-device speech.
We're open-sourcing Phonon, a suite of TTS models under 50m parameters, setting a new standard for naturalness and accuracy across languages, with the broadest inference support to date.
Phonon-31m is available under Apache 2.0.

Pocket TTS has been getting updates those last few days. While it was ~100M parameters, we release smaller versions, down to 1.9M: an 18.2M model with the quality of the original, a 6.9M model, and a 1.9M model that runs 103x faster than real time on one CPU core. All with voice cloning.

Sans même tenir compte des dégradations matérielles, ce weekend aura coûté au contribuable français environ 3 milliards *par an*, à perpétuité, en intérêts supplémentaires sur la dette (11bp de spread).
L'équivalent du salaire d'environ 60 000 profs de lycée supplémentaires.

Marvell’s Dave Lazovsky is holding a tiny module that uses photonics to move high-bandwidth memory (HBM + DDR) as far as 50 meters away from the GPU.
this can sit up to 50 meters from a GPU instead of the usual 1.5 mm.
For the first time, memory no longer has to live right next to compute, letting AI clusters share massive capacity without being locked to the accelerator package.
Latency stays in the hundreds of nanoseconds, close enough for practical memory use.
Basically, Memory and compute now scale on separate axes instead of being locked together.

为了方便使用AI做游戏时确定美术风格，我做了一个网站，收集了不少游戏的美术风格以及参考游戏，这个可以直接把风格名或风格参考发发给AI，让他知道要做什么。

Worth mentioning that at Epic, we’ve been experimenting and monitoring the development of AI production tools for several years. It feels like we’ve now hit an inflection point where they’re genuinely adding value for developers. So time to fully commit.

“We found DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 beats GPT 6 Sol on our multi-step offensive cybersecurity task.”
READ THAT AGAIN.
the same cyber capabilities that OpenAI kept behind a gate got beaten by a Chinese open model you can run locally.
buckle up guys.
We found DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 beats GPT 6 Sol on our multi-step offensive cybersecurity task. Sol was tested via the Daybreak trusted access program.
We have been building a cybersecurity benchmark based on simulated corporate networks. This is a valuable indicator for the cyber-risk a model poses if in the hands of a bad actor. We plan to make the full evaluation public in the coming weeks but wanted to share our first immediate finding here.

Early footage of Star Wars Galactic Racer.
Man I love seeing stuff like this, even before a lot of the 'star wars' stuff came in, this already looked like a blast. Such a fun game.

Video 2 GLSL
I gave Claude Opus 5.5 a 20-second video clip. It rebuilt the whole thing as one GLSL fragment shader: 156 KB of code, no textures, no video frames. Just math, looping seamlessly

Intel is making AI accelerator cards.
Intel’s GPU D270 (Crescent Island) is a PCIe 5.0 card built for inference. It is more or less a variant of a graphics card, engineered for AI.
It uses 32 Xe cores. Each one mixes ordinary vector engines with specialized matrix engines called XMX.
Memory is LPDDR5X. Intel’s card has about 160 GB. It can go up to 480 GB.
I am curious about the price tag.

Tiny City is the 217th pack I've released, no end in sight.
All packs are free (public domain), no donation/payment/attribution required, no tracking, no sign-up, no ads and they can be used for any purpose in any engine. Total freedom!

OpenCode is currently under a sustained cyberattack, and mid-incident they ran into the same problem Hugging Face did: the frontier models they were using for defense began refusing to help fight attacking agents because analyzing the attacks started triggering safety guardrails.

Two years of work, and PySR v2 is finally out!
If you haven't used it before: PySR is a machine learning library that finds short equations that fit your data.
I've always wanted a PyTorch for symbolic learning. PySR v2 is a big step towards that:

Act3D learns to think and explore in 3D
A VLM is given one image, then uses outcome-only RL to decide when and how to move the camera and gather evidence. 53.2% average across six 3D benchmarks, +22% over its Qwen base and above Gemini 3.6 Flash.
