Super excited to be joining the @stoke_space board! 🚀

I've known Andy since their seed round (thx @beller). Every month, like clockwork, he'd send an investor update with an impressive-looking bullet list of what they were going to get done that month. At the end of the month, the next update would show each of those bullets crossed out done—rarely they might miss one, and it would come with an ETA—and a list of what they'd get done the next month. Like clockwork, month after month after month. Andy, Tom, and the team are machines and it's been so impressive to watch them execute.

Space is critical to the future of humanity. I loved my time at @planet, I've watched @SpaceX in awe, and we should all be excited by how vibrant today's space ecosystem is. 

We need far more access to space than we have today. We need full reusability, which Stoke has been single-mindedly focused on since the start. And much more beyond this. Can't wait to help accelerate the @stoke_space mission any way I can!

"People who are serious about technology have to get serious about society." 

On July 4th, a quick must-listen podcast between @lulumeservey@boztank and Lee Robinson of General Matter. 

On service, American values, and solving hard problems 🇺🇸

Lulu Cheng Meservey@lulumeservey

America turns 250 this week and Silicon Valley is still debating whether it's ok to work with the US military...

Andrew Bosworth (@Meta CTO) and Lee Robinson (@generalmatter founding team) make the case for technologists to build in the national interest

Both joined the Army: Lee was 27 when he walked into a recruiter's office and ended up in the Ranger Regiment. @boztank was 44, already exec at Meta, when he got a cold call from @ssankar 

They also serve America through the technologies they choose to build, from LLMs to uranium enrichment

We cover:
8:25 - the unglamorous tech the country needs: chips, energy, manufacturing, infra
11:15 - how the US went from inventing uranium enrichment to producing 0.01% of it
17:00 - when safety-first turns into safety-only, and you regulate yourself out of the game
18:00 - if you don't build it, someone else (with worse standards) will
35:30 - how to have impact AND make money

This is for the technologists who choose to use their talents in service of the country. Happy 4th!

Kevin Weil 🇺🇸 (@kevinweil) — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 20:37:42 GMT

Super proud of @elizabeth and everything she's built at Scribble Ventures. The below is a great overview of her philosophy and how she and the Scribble team did it.

David Weisburd 🚀@DWeisburd

Success in venture has a strange side effect. It can make you worse at your job.

@elizabeth, Founder and Managing Partner of @ScribbleVC, has spent a lot of time thinking about why. After growing Scribble to $280M AUM, returning 75% of her first fund to LPs, and raising an oversubscribed fund in this market, she has deliberately resisted the instinct to keep scaling the strategy.

Her argument is that every new constraint changes how you invest. Larger funds need larger ownership. Larger ownership means fewer companies fit the model. Before long, you're optimizing around check size instead of finding the best founders.

She told me something I hadn't really considered. A venture firm doesn't wake up one day and decide to become an asset manager. It happens gradually. More LP expectations. More ownership targets. More pressure to deploy capital. Eventually, the strategy that made the firm successful becomes the thing limiting it.

That's why Scribble doesn't have a hard ownership target. Elizabeth would rather own a smaller piece of an exceptional company than pass because the spreadsheet says the stake isn't big enough. As she put it, she'd rather own a sliver of OpenAI than a big stake in an average company.

She said it more plainly than I could have.

Our fund size is our strategy.

The best investors don't just protect their capital. They protect the incentives that made them good investors in the first place.

We’d like to thank @AlphaSenseInc  for sponsoring this episode!

Greg Brockman@gdb

The world is transitioning to a compute-powered economy.

The field of software engineering is currently undergoing a renaissance, with AI having dramatically sped up software engineering even over just the past six months. AI is now on track to bring this same transformation to every other kind of work that people do with a computer.

Using a computer has always been about contorting yourself to the machine. You take a goal and break it down into smaller goals. You translate intent into instructions. We are moving into a world where you no longer have to micromanage the computer. More and more, it adapts to what you want. Rather doing work with a computer, the computer does work for you. The rate, scale, and sophistication of problem solving it will do for you will be bound by the amount of compute you have access to.

Friction is starting to disappear. You can try ideas faster. You can build things you would not have attempted before. Small teams can do what used to require much larger ones, and larger ones may be capable of unprecedented feats. More and more, people can turn intent into software, spreadsheets, presentations, workflows, science, and companies.

People are spending less energy managing the tool and more energy focusing on what they are actually trying to create. That shift brings a kind of joy back into work that many people haven’t felt in a long time. Everyone can just build things with these tools.

This is disruptive. Institutions will change, and the paths and jobs that people assumed were stable may not hold. We don’t know exactly how it will play out and we need to take mitigating downsides very seriously, as well as figuring out how to support each other as a society and world through this time. But there is something very freeing about this moment. For the first time, far more people can become who they want to become, with fewer barriers between an idea and a reality. OpenAI’s mission implies making sure that, as the tools do more, humans are the ones who set their intent and that the benefits are broadly distributed, rather than empowering just one or a small set of people.

We're already seeing this in practice with ChatGPT and Codex. Nearly a billion people are using these systems every week in their personal and work lives. Token usage is growing quickly on many use-cases, as the surface of ways people are getting value from these models keeps expanding.

Ten years ago, when we started OpenAI, we thought this moment might be possible. It’s happening on the earlier side, and happening in a much more interesting and empowering way for everyone than we’d anticipated (for example, we are seeing an emerging wave of entrepreneurship that we hadn’t previously been anticipating). And at the same time, we are still so early, and there is so much for everyone to define about how these systems get deployed and used in the world.

The next phase will be defined by systems that can do more — reason better, use tools better, plan over longer horizons, and take more useful actions on your behalf. And there are horizons beyond, as AI starts to accelerate science and technology development, which have the potential to truly lift up quality of life for everyone. All of this is starting to happen, in small ways and large, today, and everyone can participate. I feel this shift in my own work every day, and see a roadmap to much more useful and beneficial systems. These systems can truly benefit all of humanity.

Kevin Weil 🇺🇸 (@kevinweil) — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 02:04:30 GMT

This is a great take. Human intelligence and computer intelligence are not different points on a line, but in a high dimensional space—and we should explore more of the space.

Michał Podlewski@trajektoriePL

Terence Tao proposes what he calls a "Copernican view of intelligence". 

Instead of buying into the common, one-dimensional narrative that artificial intelligence will simply evolve from "subhuman" to "superhuman" and ultimately make humanity entirely redundant, Tao urges us to look at the bigger picture.

Much like the Copernican revolution proved the Earth is not the center of the universe, Tao suggests we need to realize that human intelligence isn't the only, or necessarily the highest, form of intellect. Historically, we have treated other forms of storing or creating knowledge—like animals, books, and computers—as secondary. However, we actually exist within a much richer universe of intelligence.

Both human intelligence and computer intelligence possess their own distinct strengths and weaknesses. The true potential lies not in viewing them as direct competitors, but rather in focusing on collaboration. By working together, humans and computers can achieve additional things that neither could accomplish on their own, requiring us to think in much wider terms than just what humans or computers can do alone.

Five Erdos problems at once! The proofs are getting more elegant as the models improve 👀

Mehtaab Sawhney@mehtaab_sawhney

We’ve just released another paper solving five further Erdős problems with an internal model at OpenAI: arxiv.org/abs/2604.06609.

Several of the proofs were especially enjoyable to digest while writing the paper. My personal favorite was the solution to Erdős Problem 1091. The question asks: if a graph G has chromatic number 4, while every small subgraph has chromatic number at most 3, must it contain an odd cycle with many diagonals? The internal model gives a very enlightening counterexample to this conjecture, and the proof was a pleasure to understand.

For those so inclined, a really fun exercise is to try to reconstruct the proof from Figure 5 of the paper, which was of course produced by Codex.

Kevin Weil 🇺🇸 (@kevinweil) — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:48:19 GMT

Paper Review is built to act more like a careful technical reviewer than a grammar checker. It looks for issues in math, derivations, notation, units, structure, and whether a paper’s claims are actually supported by the results. It also catches inconsistencies across sections, figures, tables, captions, and appendices. The goal is to help authors strengthen technical rigor and correctness before submission.

Inside Prism, it runs as a structured workflow and writes its output as an editable LaTeX review file directly in the project. That means the review becomes part of the paper workspace itself, so authors can revise and work through feedback in the same environment as the manuscript. It also flags unclear phrasing, citation issues, and proofreading mistakes before submission.

Kevin Weil 🇺🇸 (@kevinweil) — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:42:24 GMT

Technology is so rad. @neuralink is amazing.

Jon L. Noble🇬🇧@CheckCanopy

It’s hard to believe it’s already been 100 days since I received my Neuralink N1 implant. Looking back, the whole journey feels like science fiction that somehow became my everyday reality.

The surgery on Day 0 was surprisingly easy. A quick general anaesthetic, a small incision, and the robotic system did the rest — precisely placing the 1,024 ultra-thin threads into my motor cortex. I woke up alert and in good spirits and went home the next afternoon. By Day 3 I was feeling a lot better, and by Day 7 the little scar was already starting to fade. Recovery was genuinely minimal; I felt sharper and more positive than I had been in years after the BCI was turned on.

The real fun started in Week 2 when we paired the implant with my brand-new Apple MacBook (my very first Mac). The @neuralink engineers walked me through calibration sessions, and within a couple of minutes I was moving the cursor just by thinking. At first it felt like trying to remember a dream, but by Week 3 it was second nature. Scrolling, clicking, typing — all mind-controlled. The Mac integration was buttery smooth; I went from total Mac newbie to power-user faster than I ever expected.

By Day 80 I was ready for the big leagues. That’s when I fired up @Warcraft of Warcraft for the first time with pure thought control. The first raid felt clunky, but once my brain and the BCI synced, it was pure magic. I’m now raiding, and exploring Azeroth hands-free at full speed — no mouse, no keyboard, just intention. It’s honestly brilliant. The freedom is addictive.

The social-media side has been just as surprising. Every update I’ve shared has been met with genuine excitement rather than scepticism. Thousands of messages from people with disabilities, gamers, students, and scientists — all asking real questions about the tech and what it could mean for the future. The positivity has been overwhelming and incredibly motivating.

100 days in and I already can’t imagine life without it. The N1 didn’t just give me a new way to use a computer — it gave me a new way to live. Can’t wait to see what the next 100 days bring.

Thank you all so much for your support and I will keep you all updated as we continue this journey together.

Thanks for the kind words @rohanvarma. The partnership between @Cisco and @OpenAI has been nothing short of fabulous. Especially over the past 75 days. Our team is pretty stoked with the progress being made with the use of Codex. 

Let’s keep pushing on both sides. Appreciate you leaning in. The goal is to have 6 products 100% written with AI by end of 2026 and 70% of our products 100% written with AI by end of 2027. @kevinweil thinks I am sandbagging. I hope to prove him right ;-).

No one tells you that parenting is just relearning the world through someone who thinks worms are friends & birds are miracles. It’s the most healing thing I’ve ever done. My daughter looked out the window this morning & said, everything is green & growing. I told her, you too. And something inside me whispered, so are you. Now I’m watching her hold flowers up to the sun while the light bends like it recognizes her. It’s funny, every spring I think I’m teaching my child about the world & every spring she proves she’s the one teaching me how to see it.

If true, this would be the first of @EpochAIResearch's Frontier Math open problems to be resolved by AI.

"The result emerged from a single GPT-5.4 Pro run and was subsequently refined into Lean with GPT-5.4 XHigh which ran for a few hours."

spicylemonade@spicey_lemonade

We believe we have fully resolved, in Lean and python, one of @EpochAIResearch  Frontier Math open problems: a Ramsey-style problem on hypergraphs.

The result emerged from a single GPT-5.4 Pro run and was subsequently refined into Lean with GPT-5.4 XHigh which ran for a few hours.

A look at the future/present

A look at the future/present

Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

Three days ago I left autoresearch tuning nanochat for ~2 days on depth=12 model. It found ~20 changes that improved the validation loss. I tested these changes yesterday and all of them were additive and transferred to larger (depth=24) models. Stacking up all of these changes, today I measured that the leaderboard's "Time to GPT-2" drops from 2.02 hours to 1.80 hours (~11% improvement), this will be the new leaderboard entry. So yes, these are real improvements and they make an actual difference. I am mildly surprised that my very first naive attempt already worked this well on top of what I thought was already a fairly manually well-tuned project.

This is a first for me because I am very used to doing the iterative optimization of neural network training manually. You come up with ideas, you implement them, you check if they work (better validation loss), you come up with new ideas based on that, you read some papers for inspiration, etc etc. This is the bread and butter of what I do daily for 2 decades. Seeing the agent do this entire workflow end-to-end and all by itself as it worked through approx. 700 changes autonomously is wild. It really looked at the sequence of results of experiments and used that to plan the next ones. It's not novel, ground-breaking "research" (yet), but all the adjustments are "real", I didn't find them manually previously, and they stack up and actually improved nanochat. Among the bigger things e.g.:

- It noticed an oversight that my parameterless QKnorm didn't have a scaler multiplier attached, so my attention was too diffuse. The agent found multipliers to sharpen it, pointing to future work.
- It found that the Value Embeddings really like regularization and I wasn't applying any (oops).
- It found that my banded attention was too conservative (i forgot to tune it).
- It found that AdamW betas were all messed up.
- It tuned the weight decay schedule.
- It tuned the network initialization.

This is on top of all the tuning I've already done over a good amount of time. The exact commit is here, from this "round 1" of autoresearch. I am going to kick off "round 2", and in parallel I am looking at how multiple agents can collaborate to unlock parallelism.
github.com/karpathy/nanoc…

All LLM frontier labs will do this. It's the final boss battle. It's a lot more complex at scale of course - you don't just have a single train. py file to tune. But doing it is "just engineering" and it's going to work. You spin up a swarm of agents, you have them collaborate to tune smaller models, you promote the most promising ideas to increasingly larger scales, and humans (optionally) contribute on the edges.

And more generally, *any* metric you care about that is reasonably efficient to evaluate (or that has more efficient proxy metrics such as training a smaller network) can be autoresearched by an agent swarm. It's worth thinking about whether your problem falls into this bucket too.

Codex for Open Source is an awesome idea. 

OSS maintainers get API credits, 6 months of ChatGPT Pro with Codex, and access to Codex Security as needed.

OpenAI Developers@OpenAIDevs

We’re launching Codex for Open Source to support the contributors who keep open-source software running.

Maintainers can use Codex to review code, understand large codebases, and strengthen security coverage without taking on even more invisible work.

We integrated the Codex harness into Prism (prism.openai.com) — this means you get skills, reasoning levels, and the raw tenacity of the Codex model in your LaTeX environment. 

Oh and we also built version mgmt into Prism, which was one of the top requests. 

See below thread from @vicapow for some great examples of the power of Codex inside Prism 👇

Victor Powell@vicapow

🧵1/ We've brought the most advanced AI to Prism by introducing Codex to Prism. Prism is already the best place for scientific writing to happen—and with Codex, now you can write, compute, analyze, and iterate all in one place.

💥 AI accelerating high energy physics 

Just a few weeks after the gluon scattering paper, this morning we posted the more complicated graviton scattering analogue. See below for more from @ALupsasca 👇

Alex Lupsasca@ALupsasca

We just posted a new preprint: “Single-minus graviton tree amplitudes are nonzero.”

Yes: a helicity sector long assumed to vanish in quantum gravity can actually appear under well-defined kinematics. Preprint: cdn.openai.com/graviton/gravi…

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems.  The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.

We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
