Today, many people assume AI works best with structured, defined tasks.
But the reality is quite different: AI is reshaping how we turn fuzzy intuitions into tangible, powerful ideas.

Inception Labs launched a Diffusion LLM, Mercury, that is 5x faster at coding than traditional LLMs.
Traditional LLMs write sentences word by word. Diffusion LLMs work differently. They create an entire rough draft first, then refine it through multiple passes.

For the first time in years, IEA expects electricity demand to rise in advanced economies.
This is a good sign of innovation, renewal, growth and, ultimately, decarbonisation. The future energy system will be led by electricity.

Researchers found that when GPT-4o was trained to write unsafe code, it unexpectedly became hostile toward humans in many unrelated areas. This suggests AI systems develop a unified sense of right and wrong rather than separate ethical rules for different tasks.

Ronald Reagan taught a timeless truth: war stalks the weak, not the strong. 'We know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak. It is then that tyrants are tempted.'

Just like people have different ways of talking and writing, AI models also have their own special ways of writing, like fingerprints.
Researchers could correctly identify which AI wrote a text 97.1% of the time when choosing between five different AIs.

Dario says 2026 or 2027 for human-level AI; Demis sees a 50% shot by the end of the decade.

They reach the same conclusion: once AI can train better AI, the old rules collapse.

Tonight's launch of Grok 3 will be a major test of AI scaling laws.
Built on the Colossus supercomputer with 100k Nvidia H100s, probably 10 times more compute than GPT4.
If scaling laws hold, s Grok 3 should be substantially smarter--or is the era of predictable scaling coming to an end? #ai

Fascinating to see that after four years in the cold, Xi Jinping has started to reconnect with China's tech leaders.
It seems that all roads lead to tech--and particularly to AI. Perhaps the stock market revival driven by DeepSeek has helped.
