PhD in AI, in progress. I put discarded enterprise hardware back to work for local AI. Open weights. Real boxes. Measured numbers.

Nvidia gave some DGX Spark love today. It profiled Link 3.0 Flash (128B model) and improved decode. 37.8 → 53.9 tps. No hardware upgrade. Thanks, Nvidia! It stacked three software optimizations ⚙️ Humming MXFP4 MoE kernels 🧮 FP8 LM-head quantization 🚀 built-in MTP/NEXTN speculative decoding On the full 1,319-question GSM8K evaluation, it improved Decode 37.81 → 53.89 tps 42.5% speedup. Mean latency 15.21s → 11.49s Accuracy 96.89% → 96.82% So basically the same measured accuracy while getting a lot more decode from the same hardware. And the synthetic test gets even crazier: 36.09 → 102.88 tps Link in ALT

🚨 ELON MUSK JUST ISSUED A TERRIFYING WARNING: 200+ AI CLOUD COMPANIES COULD FACE A BRUTAL WIPEOUT. Musk says debt markets have almost completely stopped lending to companies that depend heavily on AI data centers for revenue. He warns that most of the 200+ neocloud companies may not survive the coming wave of failures and consolidation. And the situation could get much worse in 2027. According to an AI infrastructure industry participant, major delays are building across data center projects, while many neocloud companies are already poorly capitalized. This could leave billions of dollars worth of GPUs and computing infrastructure sitting idle or generating too little revenue to cover their costs. Meanwhile, hyperscalers could prioritize their own computing needs, making it even harder for smaller AI companies to compete. Musk revealed that SpaceX secured $40 BILLION in GPU-related debt financing, but it has a major advantage: revenue from Starlink and rocket launches. Most smaller AI companies don't have that protection. And remember, these companies have borrowed enormous amounts of money expecting AI demand to keep growing. If their infrastructure fails to generate enough revenue, they could struggle to repay lenders, forcing asset sales, bankruptcies and massive losses for investors. Musk believes the industry is heading toward a brutal consolidation, with only a small number of neoclouds surviving. The AI boom might continue, but 2027 could be the year when many of the companies financing it get wiped out.

GLM 5.5/OMNI will be a shift from Moore's Law to RSI (Recursive Self-Improvement) in Al is officially here. Key takeaways from Tang Jie (Founder, Zhipu Al) on what's driving the next era of foundation models: Execution > Chat: Value is moving from conversational Ul to long-horizon task completion. Scaling Bias: Small-scale experiment conclusions don't linearly translate to trillion-parameter systems. The RSI Loop: Models creating environments →

HERE IT IS. The Next Generation Roadster developed by SpaceX and Tesla! There is a fan-suction system at the bottom of the car that can pull up to 2 gs allowing it to stick upside down. It just flipped UPSIDE DOWN with cold gas thrusters and landed. HOLY SHIT.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just PERSONALLY awarded Elon Musk the National Medal of Science, an extraordinary honor reserved for only the most LEGENDARY and innovative patriots Elon loves it! 👏🏻 47 called Elon the "THOMAS EDISON" of our time and he is correct. Well-deserved, @ElonMusk! SpaceX, Starlink, SI, Tesla, PURE WINNING And he uses his resources to help promote AMERICA, unlike leftist donors such as George Soros. THAT'S why Dems can't stand him 🇺🇸

Important note regarding Grok @Bot: Going forward, @SpaceX will use the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs. Whatever is most likely to give you the best outcome.

If you never got to see my film "The Miracle" please check it out now. Looking forward to the next film I'm writing now.
“The Miracle” Premieres Now: I gave this film everything I had. Pushed myself creatively and technically, experimented a ton with new tools + models and at times got stuck, started over and wondered if I could pull it off. Excited + nervous to finally share it with you. Enjoy!
