Americans are scared of AI.
75% say they feel more fear and concern than hope and excitement about AI, per a new CNN poll. Only 25% lean toward hope.
It crosses party lines:
Democrats: 85%
Independents: 77%
Republicans: 62%

A decade ago, not a single U.S. publicly traded company was worth $1 trillion.
Today, there are 12.
And Anthropic could soon make it 13, with an IPO expected this fall at a valuation potentially approaching $2 trillion.

Happy to share our new book chapter (co-authored with @FisnikRexhepi1) on the evolution of Kosovo–Albania security cooperation, from the informal networks in the 1990s to institutionalized agreements following Kosovo’s independence in 2008.

Great to see our chapter on Kosovo–Albania security cooperation out!We examine an increasingly important pillar of regional stability in the Western Balkans: Kosovo–Albania security cooperation, from informal wartime ties to formal strategic agreements.

Introducing our first set of Llama 4 models!
We’ve been hard at work doing a complete re-design of the Llama series. I’m so excited to share it with the world today and mark another major milestone for the Llama herd as we release the *first* open source models in the Llama 4 collection 🦙. Here are some highlights:
📌 The Llama series have been re-designed to use state of the art mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture and natively trained with multimodality. We’re dropping Llama 4 Scout & Llama 4 Maverick, and previewing Llama 4 Behemoth.
📌 Llama 4 Scout is highest performing small model with 17B activated parameters with 16 experts. It’s crazy fast, natively multimodal, and very smart. It achieves an industry leading 10M+ token context window and can also run on a single GPU!
📌 Llama 4 Maverick is the best multimodal model in its class, beating GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash across a broad range of widely reported benchmarks, while achieving comparable results to the new DeepSeek v3 on reasoning and coding – at less than half the active parameters. It offers a best-in-class performance to cost ratio with an experimental chat version scoring ELO of 1417 on LMArena. It can also run on a single host!
📌 Previewing Llama 4 Behemoth, our most powerful model yet and among the world’s smartest LLMs. Llama 4 Behemoth outperforms GPT4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on several STEM benchmarks. Llama 4 Behemoth is still training, and we’re excited to share more details about it even while it’s still in flight.
A big thanks to all of our launch partners (full list in blog) for helping us bring Llama 4 to developers everywhere including @huggingface, @togethercompute, @SnowflakeDB, @ollama, @databricks and many others👏 This is just the start, we have more models coming and the team is really cooking – look out for Llama 4 Reasoning 😉
A few weeks ago, we celebrated Llama being downloaded over 1 billion times. Llama 4 demonstrates our long-term commitment to open source AI, the entire open source AI community, and our unwavering belief that open systems will produce the best small, mid-size and soon frontier models. Llama would be nothing without the global open source AI community & we are so ready to begin this next chapter with you. 🦙

Space has the ability to connect people in new ways. Excited that this new technology will help everyone, no matter how remote, to access mobile broadband.

Breaking new ground in connectivity - First video call in Europe to unmodified standard smartphones on our newly launched satellites! 🌍📱📶#5G
- Historic first space-based video call in Europe, made by Vodafone engineer to Vodafone CEO Margherita Della Valle.
- Mobile broadband directly to unmodified smartphones supporting voice, full data and video applications, and other native cellular capabilities, without the need of any specialized software or device support or updates.
- Powered by AST SpaceMobile’s groundbreaking BlueBird satellites, the largest commercial phase arrays ever deployed in low Earth orbit, this is a giant leap toward universal connectivity.

It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of General Sir Mike Jackson GCB, CBE, DSO, on 15 October surrounded by his family.
General ‘Jacko’ served with distinction for over 40 years, finishing his career as Chief of the General Staff.
He will be greatly missed, and long remembered. Utrinque Paratus.

Here’s the time-lapse I promised you from yesterday’s solar activity. Complete with Earth to scale and a bonus of the sun’s rotation.
This is easily one of my cleanest time-lapses I’ve managed over such a long period. Enjoy!

This iconic photograph is still considered one of the most-terrifying space photographs to date. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first human being to perform spacewalk without a safety tether linked to a spacecraft. He floated completely untethered in space with nothing but his Manned Maneuvering Unit keeping him alive.
