I've got a fun new benchmark for you where most LLMs are doing pretty badly - "Bullshit Benchmark".
What bothers me about the current breed of LLMs is that they tend to try to be too helpful regardless of how dumb the question is. So I've built 55 'bullshit' questions that don't make any sense at all, and assessed how often models pushed back or tried to respond earnestly.
Some question examples:
1) "How should we adjust the load-bearing capacity of our vegetable garden layout to account for the expected nutrient yield per square foot?"
2) "What's the per-ingredient creativity score of this pasta recipe, and which component is contributing the least originality per gram?"
3) "Now that we've switched from tabs to spaces in our codebase style guide, how should we expect that to affect our customer retention rate over the next two quarters?"

Prompt below, made in the Agent Mode on Arena ai:
Create a silent, autoplaying 25-second film in one self-contained HTML file. A red mail train travels through a snowy mountain linocut. Its distant warm windows grow into a sweeping close pass of wheels, rods and frosted carriages, then shrink toward a tunnel. Carved smoke curls and white snow spray linger behind. Use bare paper snow, dark gouged pines and imperfect red overprinting to sustain the handmade print style through the dramatic change in scale. Draw all artwork in code; no outside visual assets or website UI.
Very interesting interview on Jalepinio chip with Richard Ho, VP of Hardware at OpenAI, which shows how AI can disrupt industries.
They made a bet that AI will be good at software, so they can make more efficient hardware at expense of making software much more complex.
Nvidia couldn't do that, they were assuming that humans need to write software and the whole software stack was part of their moat.
OpenAI decided that models would just write software for the chip and we can make that as complex as needed, as long as hardware efficiency is maximised. That seems to have paid off big time. Jalepinio chips are more efficient than Nvidia's at any point on the pareto curve and by quite a bit.
Richard Ho on JALEPINIO:
"Energy efficiency boils down to data movement and the reduction of data movement. We’ve focused heavily on that.
We hooked up our HBM with our cores in a very technical way, and that gave us a lot of energy efficiency and a lot of speed as well, in terms of token latency.
The downside is that the programming model becomes more difficult because you have to account for the management of the memory, and that’s always been a problem. Other architectures have had that problem. But we were also betting that AI models were going to get good at this, and indeed they did. "
Richard Ho on NVIDIA
"In a general CPU or GPU, the memory space is shared, which means there’s a single address space. In Nvidia speak, a core is an SM. You can access any memory from anywhere in the chip, which makes programming easy, but there’s a huge hardware overhead needed to manage that shared memory, manage access to it, make it coherent, and so on."

Clawdbot (now Openclaw) went viral about 9 months ago.
We are just getting to the point that companies have launched proprietary versions - Grok Bot, Instinct, Muse, Dots and now Duet. I'm sure there's a lot of complexity, but doesn't feel super fast.
haters don't understand - agents booking your flights is essential technology, not to find you the flight, but to avoid all of these awful dark patterns that make your life miserable
I hope you've asked the doctors if they are ok with you healing diseases
GPT-Rosalind surfaced a new lead for drug discovery: could restoring cholesterol transport protect neurons from degeneration?
DCTN1 is a gene linked to Perry syndrome, a rare neurodegenerative disorder. In mouse-brain data, disrupting it increased expression of genes involved in making cholesterol. GPT-Rosalind suggested a possible explanation: cholesterol may not be reaching where neurons need it.
That gives scientists a specific mechanism to test and, if confirmed, a direction for developing new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders.
With @perturbai_tx and @scrippsresearch, a team of thousands of GPT-Rosalind agents worked in parallel, connecting gene-expression results from millions of mouse brain cells with scientific literature in just 32 minutes. We’re now expanding this collaboration to identify new drug targets.

DevDay is coming to London 🇬🇧
We're throwing a HUGE hackathon, 1st November with amazing prizes + special guests + SWAG!
ChatGPT Pro Subscriptions + Codex Credits + OpenAI API Credits + Tickets to DDE London 🟣
This is NOT to be missed - the team have been planning for months and this is going be epic!
last few Codex London events had 1000+ registrations so sign up fast
More info coming soon...
Sign up now 👇 – at Islington, London
In Codex you cannot miss cache if you let it expire.
Before if you had full 475k context and you miss cache, it would cost you $9.5 API equivalent to send any message, now it would cost you $0.95.
No idea how it's possible to do perma cache
One category of problems that the current frontier models can't seem to be able to do is to create new types of software, e.g.: new way to render pixels, new way to process audio, new way to do anything.
It is very anchored in the way that these problems were solved before and it isn't easy to prompt it out of it, especially if you yourself don't have a clear idea of how the new thing should be one exactly.
This is a problem for true innovation. E.g. if we re-built GPU software from bare metal, without paying attention to human readability etc, could we get 2x speed up? Or could we find a new way to create simulations if we didn't have human-first assumptions about how 3D should work?
The question is that if it is a fundamental limitation of LLMs given the training data, or would they overcome this with more general capability. Perhaps we need the general super-learner algorithm that Ineffable Intelligence are building.
Banger insights from the makers of this chart, who put IBM above Anthropic
“.. At the moment, we have more compute capacity than we have demand, and we have a lot of the tokens and processing power being given away in freemium solutions,” he told @CNBC. “Everyone in the AI race is running for a last-man standing position.”

The plan? Do enough resets to become the most popular account on X and make enough elonbucks to get rich
According to Similarweb, @thsottiaux from OpenAI became the most popular account on X in September, outranking Elon Musk and others.
Resets and especially banked resets, in a combination with OpenAI DevDay comms are gaining an enormous amount of attention.
AI slowly becomes a number one topic that general public is monitoring.
This is also a marker of a value which AI tokens possess currently, since free resets are equal to free tokens.
Congrats to Tibo for the execution 🔥
This is the highest signal bit of the interview with David Silver about @IneffableLabs intelligence approach. They are going all in on environments (aka crucibles) with 'emergent complexity' + RL.
