Scaling past a trillion parameters requires inference engineers to solve 3 issues:
- Width: Routing between hundreds of sparse experts
- Depth: Mixing global and local linear attention
- Length: Processing 1M-token sequences
I asked Ali and Bryce to draw it up. They delivered.

how the f*ck did they pull this off? this is literally the cheapest way to make ads or ANY video for your brand
🤝 Paid partnership
Today we're launching Sunra MCP, with the most accessible pricing in the industry.
Every leading image, video and audio model, right inside Claude, ChatGPT and the AI assistant you already use. Each one at its maker's own API price, with no markup added.
Now is the time to build. Go create something no one has seen before.

Leonard Read's pencil story: no one knows how to make a pencil from scratch, yet millions are made without a central manager. Each worker knows only their part. Incentives, not central control, coordinate their efforts.
Current multi-agent AI seems to work the opposite way. A central manager does everything: assigns roles, writes the workflow, and decides who acts next. As agents increase and tasks get harder, that manager might become the bottleneck: it should understand every agent and every task, and adaptation becomes inefficient.
So how can a group of machine agents organize themselves into something none of them could achieve alone? Further, how can that society of agents keep improving itself over time?
In Economy of Minds (EoM), we show that simple local incentives can drive global self-coordination and self-improvement for modern LLM agents. We let agents live in a minimal economy: they compete for work, earn by helping others succeed, and go broke when they don't. Workflows, specialists, and improvement naturally emerge, with no one in charge.
Across 5 domains (math reasoning, financial research, scientific research, accelerator design, and distributed-system optimization), limited agents grow into strong societies.
The whole idea in a 90-second cartoon👇

If you have an intense soul, you need to pour that intensity into your hobbies/art. That energy needs to go somewhere or it'll swallow you. Your depth must have a purpose. Create your own worlds, that you and other like minded people can escape into. You have a super power.
Empty yourself of knowing.
Yearn without shame.
Give without calculation.
Dance when you can.
Cry when you must.

breathing is enough to give you away
each breath slightly changes how Wi-Fi waves reflect off your chest. with the right receiver and processing, those tiny changes can reveal your breathing rhythm
the graphs in this animation use real WiRe-Breath recordings: orange is the rhythm extracted from Wi-Fi, gray is a reference breathing sensor
i broke down how this works, and what else you can pull out of the radio waves around you, in the article below ↓
The Indiranagar dating scene is wild. Matching with demisexuals on Hinge, debating androgyny like I’m defending a PhD thesis, and all I wanted was to take someone out for coffee. 😂
Romance, but make it an intellectual sparring session.💀
Indiranagar is unusually peaceful, everyone’s home for the festivities, the roads are breathing, and my bike’s clutch is finally getting some work-life balance.
Bengaluru without traffic is a festival in itself. 🏍️😂
Sometimes, one piece of creative work can completely reset your standards. 👏
Hi, it's Darshita. I am a designer.
And I'm pitching myself in public 'cause I'm done with a year full of anxiety.
Everyone says design is dead and AI killed it. But the real parasite was hiding in plain sight.
So here's my film, DESIGN IS DEAD. She's bold, fearless and very PINK 💖
Hiring? My DMs are open.

Holy shit who is this guy, spot on everything bullseye
AI predictions for next 6-9 months
-> Anthropic/ OAI fail to ban OSS in the US
-> Anthropic/ OAI continue to innovate product but stall on fundamental tech breakthroughs
-> SOTA Gemini 4 launches at 10x lower cost
-> Elon open sources Grok
-> Anthropic/ OAI ARR growth stalls as enterprises move from tokenmaxxing to rational token consumption/ OSS
-> slow realization in public markets that AI may not replace human labor in next 1-3 years/ has not had a fundamental tech breakthrough in over a year/ lacks ROI/ AI hyper and lab spend not durable
-> moonboy VCs/ hedge funds/ softbank continue to fund Anthropic/ OAI equity raises in private markets as public markets for them are now fully closed
-> CXMT, YMTC announce capacity expansions significantly above market expectations
-> hypers deliver good q326 results on first look but fail to show meaningful AI ROI, guide to "significant capex expansion in fy27"
-> broad realization in public markets the AI dream we got sold on is not anywhere close to realization
-> 10yr hits >5%
-> hyper bonds reprice >10%, CDS hit 3x current levels, and AI credit market dries up as market realizes GPU ABF was not a good idea
-> hyper equities reprice 30-50% lower
-> ORCL falls below $30 as rumors of bailout make the round
-> market realizes memory is cyclical and LTAs won't hold
-> 50% of korean traders get wiped within a week
-> hypers cut fy27 capex
-> semis reprice >80% lower
-> fed cuts >150bps to avoid recession
Sunday done right: a wonderful screening of Brian De Palma’s “Sisters” at Underline Centre, Indiranagar, courtesy of Cinema Next Door. 🖤🎬
There’s something special about watching cinema like this, on a big screen, surrounded by people who love the art of it.
More evenings like these, please.

Some observations about the "total" automation of software engineering:
1. There are more software engineers now than in 2025, and demand is growing.
2. Software engineers have never worked harder than they do now.
3. They largely don't write code anymore, agents write ~100% of the code.
4. The bottom line of the companies that employs these engineers and agents (i.e. the terminal purpose of all this code) is typically not budging as a result of AI adoption.
This is why you have to think in terms of systems. Automating one aspect of a system creates its own friction and moves the bottlenecks elsewhere.

easily the highest signal density interview i’ve seen in a while. great questions and great answers.
easily one of the most important but unsexy topics of our era. highly recommend.
I interviewed @neilmovva for @substratemag on latency-insensitive inference, alternative chips, and why massive datacenters face diseconomies of scale.
"We've always predicted that async inference is going to eat the world. That could easily be 95% or more of inference demand."
Neil's been at the frontier of inference for years, from NVIDIA to co-founding @sailresearchco. I learned a lot from our conversation - you can listen below.
