Good thing Mr. Hatfield didn't turn in his old Apple-1 for an Apple // when Steve Jobs gave him that option 50 years ago.
It just sold at auction for $1,148,200 (including Bonham's premium) - a new record for an Apple-1.
There are only 75 Apple-1's known to survive.

Every variation of the iPhone Duo is sold out until January 2027…
..all within 1 hour of pre-orders opening! 🤯🤯

We were able to fine tune an open weight model (Qwen3.5-9B) on proprietary internal data at @coinbase, and it out performed frontier models, at much lower cost and speed, for a specialized task (fraud prevention in this case).
I think we'll see more of this pattern inside companies. The frontier models are amazing generalists. But increasingly you'll see specialist models out perform on more narrow tasks, either working on teams, or by themselves.
We're making it easy to fine tune models internally for our employees. We even have a skill for it in our internal harness that makes it easy to spin these up and start training them:
"/fine-tune-and-serve-llm I want to fine-tune Qwen for payments risk review. help me get started"
I imagine we'll have some backend services that could be replaced entirely by this new architecture.

These are some very important observations from Satya.
As models and harnesses commoditize, intent, verification and evidence will gate how quickly SI permeates enterprises and businesses.
Importantly, you need to implement systems that separate who does the work from those who govern, measure and sign off on it.
This is a new kind of “harness” that will emerge over the next few years. It may become a new system of record over time. One whose entire role is to track “change” and map it back to SOPs, policies, laws and the like.

To all @Seahawks fans and @12s, we have no plans to move the team, have never discussed it, haven’t even thought about it. End of story. I've said repeatedly we have no plans to change anything. Feel sad for the reporters looking for views and clicks who distort my answer out of context and sent an entire city into a spiral for no reason.

"We move $10–15B of value per month, hold 91% share of cross-chain value transfer, connect 165+ blockchains, and have 900+ applications built on the protocol. ~71% of the world's stablecoin supply is issued using the LayerZero OFT standard."
Well when you put it like that...

Prediction: within 12 months, top three models will be open source.
Economic winners will be the American clouds that serve them:
Nebius
Iren
Baseten
Together
Fireworks
Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway:
🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6%
While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2).
(Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)
"Home Depot is the greatest total returning U.S. public stock since the day it went public."
Acquired co-hosts @djrosent and @gilbert joined the show today to break down their latest episode on The Home Depot.
"You could have bought any other stock like Apple, NVIDIA, or Microsoft on any day since 1981 and still not made as much money as you would have buying Home Depot on the day of its IPO."

If the model companies are all going to slow down, this makes it slightly more feasible to start a new model company.

If AI mapped a cure for terminal pancreatic cancer I don't think anyone would dare complain about its effects on medical unemployment.
But people are upset that AI can solve math problems and cause unemployment in performative mathematics.
Fuck them.

Some notes from the Fields Medal letter today (mathandai.org/)
Generally saying that AI models riffling through solving these problems gives 1 bit of signal while killing the 99 other bits of conceptual understanding that mathematicians would have extracted from fighting with these problems
