Created using Seedance + Higgsfield + Blender + Opus 5.5 + After Effects + GPT Image 2.5 + Suno + Python and my own agent.
Inspired by the Parable of the Sower, the song is about patience, quiet faithfulness and trusting the One who brings April. The world may call it foolishness, but those who go on sowing in the silence will be carried in the arms of the spring.
If you're in a winter season right now, this one is for you.
So creative. This is the start of a new paradigm.
So one of our ambassadors @divagr1925 has been working on something cool
He found a way to use Qwen's Gated DeltaNet state as memory, and built a 32-bit RISC-V CPU directly into the model's weights. So instead of relying on predicting the answer to a calculation, the model can execute instructions internally. It can also run C and MicroPython programs.
He calls it Qwenputer, love the name btw. The results so far are pretty impressive. On one arithmetic benchmark, accuracy jumped from 48.6% to 100%.
Pretty cool to see developers experimenting with Qwen's architecture. Great work, my friend!
Opus 5.5 made waves because it could do something which no model did to that skill level before: motion design, and editing.
Announcing a model that won't be generally available for a while and is not a step change is not good enough to retake the crown.
By the time carbon is available, Claude will have shipped models that beat Carbon.
That said, I'm glad you're back at the frontier. Congratulations.
Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, it's a big jump over Argon which we released just 2 weeks ago.
Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA on cyber, long horizon tasks, ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis V5, significantly improves on usability in domains like coding, and is more aligned.
I actually like community notes!
This is a very delicate balance for Meta indeed.

操他妈的，OpenAI正式宣布，ETH被证伪了。
整个计算机领域的天塌了，我他妈整个人震惊了整整5分钟。
这他妈的，这种心情和情绪，不知道他妈怎么形容，就是觉得他妈的，一个巨大的震惊，我可操他妈的。
OpenAI这群闲人没白养，这个贡献妥妥他妈的值半个图灵奖（含金量约等于10个诺贝尔奖）了。
Way to Go! Design circuits with AI, then print them with CircutHub !! I'm going to start making my own hardware in 2027 !!
PCBs made in America. Twice as fast as Shenzhen.
Today @CircuitHub is unveiling The Grid, our factory-scale robot in Massachusetts that builds circuit boards on demand.
No changeovers, no per-design setup. Prototypes and production batches, fully automated.

researcher Erica Windisch is calling it "Tailworm" and i don't think people realize how serious this is
in 3 days of testing there have been 11 Tailscale flaws found in her lab and made public before any fix. not in a year. not in a month. in 3 days
the worst ONE of these would normally be big news on its own
Tailscale SSH: in her lab, one hacked device with SSH access got full control (root) of another server in 0 seconds. it checks the device, never a user password
rogue device: in her lab she stole the key that lets new machines join the private network, then added her own device under the victim's identity
the worm: in her lab it spread on its own to every device the access rules allowed. under a second per jump. no passwords. no stolen keys
experimental app connectors: an approved user could send traffic anywhere the connector can reach, even to cloud server credentials and every Kubernetes service. the network rules never checked the real destination
headscale: if this free self-run server for Tailscale is open to the internet, anyone with no account can crash it. 1,024 tiny sign-ups stop new devices from joining
tailscale serve: one line of setup can open a device's admin controls to other devices on the network
and that's not the whole list
she didn't wait for Tailscale to fix them. she says "infrastructure is vulnerable today". 6 of the 11 are rated high severity
her report says the network turns one ordinary break-in into admin access across all your machines "at machine speed"
if you use Tailscale SSH, run your own headscale server, or use the experimental app connectors you are potentially affected
turn off SSH forwarding. give SSH access one device pair at a time. make device keys expire. lock down app connectors
11 flaws are public now, and Tailscale hasn't posted a security bulletin about them yet
follow me if your company runs on Tailscale. i'm tracking all 11 until they're fixed

3% of “critical” software security bugs, in all of recorded history, have been found in the last month.
This is on pace to find another ~100,000 bugs this year alone, adding ~26% more vulnerabilities to the all time total
Do you realize how fucking insane that is?

anthropic’s lead engineer btw.
Hi, I'm Felix. I'm an eng lead working on Claude. I love watching people take flight and do things they never thought possible.
We often describe that as "being more ambitious" when using AI, which is tricky advice to follow. I wrote a tutorial:

Mathematician Terence Tao:
"we're seeing the end of the romantic era of mathematics, the age of heroes. we're moving into an industrial era where math becomes large-scale, done in big teams like the other sciences"
We're entering, rather unwillingly, a new era where exciting new things are possible, but some things are being lost

We are releasing Ultramarine 1 Flash, a frontier-class model built for knowledge work. It is open-source and achieves similar performance to Fable 5, while being 60x cheaper.
It was post-trained by a team of 5 for ~$300k all-in. Available on API now, with weights releasing in 2 weeks.

Introducing EmbeddingGemma 2, a new open multimodal model that sets the standard for on-device efficiency.
- our first open, natively multimodal embedding model
- handles text, code, image, video, and audio tasks within a lightweight, modular 740M parameter form factor
- ideal for offline, privacy-first RAG when paired with Gemma 4
- outperforms some specialist models more than twice its size
Weights available now on Hugging Face.
