How come this acquisition gets to go through, but Windsurf didn't? There might be antitrust review here too, and Microsoft might also lay a claim to Statsig's IP due to their contract with OpenAI. Maybe Statsig didn't care th

This seems like a very sensible and logical conclusion by the judge to me. An exclusive contract with Apple/Samsung isn't great, but even Apple testified that they would not have accepted any other searcch engine because everyone

I wonder how much of these issues will be fixed by smarter models and scale. Building guardrails like "always redirect Chase requests to chase.com" seems like re-learning the bitter lesson. (the issue in the article could be fixe

Historically, when a company gets acquired, the terms of the acquisition vary wildly. Many acquisitions over the past few years have led to a payout of all equity holders, pennies for employees, and layoffs for much of the existing team. Th

This is the logical, satisfying, and probably best conclusion to an un-ideal and optically terrible situation all parties were placed in. First, OpenAI wanted to acquire Windsurf. Terrific move! Win-win for OpenAI (who needs more AI product

I'm surprised most commenters haven't mentioned that the presence of Tiktok as the biggest reason why Facebook was pushed into this direction. Ben Thompson of Stratechery did a great deep dive into Facebook's Three Eras here

Maintaining these escalators must cost a fortune, not only because it's an old model that probably doesn't exist anywhere else in the world, but also because the US elevator market is completely distinct from the rest of the inter

This is one of the clearest example of overzealous regulation leading to the West losing one of its strongest household robot brands to Chinese upstarts. Robot was not in a particularly financial good shape beforehand, but at least had mode

I wonder how much of these conclusions are Claude-specific (given that Anthropic only used Claude as a test subject) or if they extrapolate to other transformer-based models as well. Would be great to see the research tested on Llama and th

Thanks for the feedback! The term "PRD" is pretty overloaded in that it's often used interchangeably by engineers to refer to technical design docs/requests for comments/spikes/etc (people really need to align

GPT-4.5 is 15-30x more expensive than GPT-4o. Likely that much larger in terms of parameter count too. It’s massive!! With more parameters comes more latent space to build a world model. No wonder its internal world model is so much better

Many of those articles came out before TSMC received CHIPS Act grants. As soon as the CHIPS Act money was committed to TSMC, the factory was suddenly ahead of schedule. Noah Smith called it out here: > Three months after TSMC announced f

I think OpenAI is targeting clear enterprise use-cases for what they're building into ChatGPT. Data Analysis is a clear enterprise use-case. So, if a feature helps them sell ChatGPT Enterprise, I think they'll build it, since that

The way ChatGPT Data Analysis works is that ChatGPT generates python code that does the transformation step. Because python code is static and deterministic, you can always re-run the code to get the exact output over and over again. If you
