Tonight I’m at AiOS SF talking AI on Apple devices, but... one more thing 😀
Years ago at Apple I set up a demo for a senior government official: real-time translation software for service members, running on an iPod touch strapped to a forearm. Before it started, I was alone in the room with Tim Cook. I don’t think he had ever said my name before. “So Todd, what are we showing today?” I WAS NOT READY FOR THAT.
I told him all about the translation software. There was a pause that felt terrifying. Then: “That’s good, but remember to always show and explain the Apple product first.”
The translation app was the cool part, but Apple sold iPod touch. That’s what I was there for. I never forgot that.
I see the same thing in AI now. Companies talk about the model they’re using, and tooling, and hardware, and the customer is left wondering what the product actually does for them.
That’s where I fit. After thousands of presentations to executives during 22 years at Apple, and after helping launch Apple Intelligence and AI messaging, I’m starting @DaywardAI to help companies show and explain their AI, and build things with it. A lot of it runs on hardware they own. Turning the technical into the understandable is my superpower.
I’m already working with a few companies, private individuals, and artists to create amazing results from unreasonable requests, and I’m having a blast doing it!
We are so so early on AI, the next few years are going to be INCREDIBLE.

How SporeLabs built Cue: a 32M model that catches promises, questions and hand-offs in a live call.
Problem, data, labels, proof: SporeLabs did every step.
About 28x faster than Jev's API, and it ranked promises and hand-offs more accurately.
Aaah yes. If you don't give your reasoning traces, you must be doing it wrong. Compaction apparently is a model core capability, ok then why open your harness to other open source models? Which is it?
Try making the harness/model argument now! xitter.cf/elonmusk/status/210772…
This is why you will need both a personal and a company agent. Both firewall from each other. One interesting opportunity is a data access primitive when agents speak to each other. Anyone working on this?
He's been doing some amazing work on older Macs!
This on the surface appears this way, but try using the end points and you will realize that the quality & consistency of inference varies wildly. (Fp/ZDR, throughput/latency..etc) Good quality inferences is not a race to the bottom YET.
Guys, did you see the inference price war for open weight models in openrouter? It’s bloody war to compete on the lowest price. Reminds me of electricity.
I keep hearing inference is huge margin but then it seems it’s a war to zero at openrouter nowadays. I finally understand why openrouter charges 5.5%.
I keep hearing stories of data centers in Finland, Philippines and Southeast Asia that are just cheap, cheaper and cheapest?
I wonder how US neoclouds cope with this? I mean enterprise is a good market I’m sure.
I call it the "White screen of death" problem and it has not yet been solved. They do have some of the ingredients to solve it.
It’s been a week of amazing progress but also one with the most doubt as a founder. Feels closer yet farther all at the same time.
Disappointing - you can have agentic AI running on a 💻. Understand the issues, put in the time before you rush to duck tape symptoms with regulation. We really need various voices talking to the politicians. Who's working on this? is there an org ?
🚨 OBAMA ON AI: "If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for.
That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing, not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because they’ve got to justify these valuations.
So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast. And I would encourage voters to pay attention to this. If somebody does not have a serious plan for how to deal with this, then they’re not meeting the moment, and you should probably look for somebody else."
Use cases its enabling - faster/cheaper routing, faster computer use, browser use. The other two unlocks will be generative UI and better memory. This is the primitive that was missing!
And .. bingo! xitter.cf/ctatedev/status/210102…

I've attempted to map everything in oncology in a public website and open source repo for all.
The site is trying to get all cancers, products, technologies, bottlenecks, people, startup opportunities with 1000+ ideas for upgrading the field.
If you have a loved one with cancer and you are technical or can engineer, go take a look, file improvement requests or bugs or help with the open repo and make this the best open and free info resource for individuals, researchers and educational use.
This should save people time, aid AI oncology projects and generate positive action. If you are not technical just complain in this thread about broken or annoying or things you want and I'll fix them live.
Some of the interesting pages:
Treatments: onco.cc/drugs
A gallery of the molecules being used onco.cc/molecules/
And targets: onco.cc/targets/
The technologies in oncology: onco.cc/technologies/
1100 ideas for helping oncology: onco.cc/ideas/

Heros and heroines : onco.cc/heroes/
Key medical people: onco.cc/people/
Here is the project roadmap: onco.cc/roadmap/
Models and data sets: onco.cc/models/
There are other views as well, take a browse.
Try making a PR if you have an upgrade to this on the repo here: github.com/judegomila/OnCo
If you are biologically/medically minded and something is wrong, file a bug as well or say on the thread and we will get it fixed live.
If this is a useful project star the repo and help get it calibrated.
I've tried to add some other languages but I cannot speak them so tell me if that doesnt work well.
I believe we will crack oncology and having total information dominance is key to the problem.
Let the feedback flow!
"We are building prod not god" Sane stuff we can all get behind!
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution
Who's gonna tell him that this also America first! Some amazing kids and their parents who are brown went to this school. I think I have had more than 4 folks in my family that went through this school - all amazing folks! So Bo, thank you for showing your ignorance!

This is a game changer.

🤯how much longer before this comes down to smaller MOE models?
