Few actors possessed the intensity, individuality and unmistakable presence that Shri Nana Patekar Ji had. He brought remarkable versatility and creativity to every role and gave us characters that will be remembered for generations. He was also admired for his frank and forthright views, never hesitating to express what he believed in. Shri Nana Patekar’s contribution to Hindi and Marathi cinema was immense. His passing leaves a deep void. My condolences to his family, friends and countless admirers. Om Shanti.

Surprising and timely results (esp w/ @Openai Demo Day). A few concrete takeaways: 1. The frontier is basically a set of models, not a single point. Jaggedness smooths w/ ensembling 2. Model version updates may enhance certain learning capabilities, but even w/ the frontier regime, there is no free lunch 3. The environment matters as much as the model. 4. Winning every average doesn't make a model safe to swap in. 5. Jaggedness may be the steady state - models aren't less jagged even when they are "better". xitter.cf/figbrains/status/21049… Great work, @Yangyue_Wang!
We ran GPT-6 Astra, Opus 5.5, Fable 5 and four other frontier models on a variety of agentic tasks across digital and physical domains: web tasks, driving, robot manipulation, industrial procedures and assembly. We’re releasing a technical report, sharing details for an invited talk, and releasing a new dataset of frontier traces and item level results you can use in your research. Every model is jagged on every axis we tested. Astra has the top score at 78.5%, yet Fable 5 and Opus 5.5 each solve 10 tasks Astra fails. In all 21 model pairs, the lower-scoring model solves at least 3 tasks the higher-scoring one misses. The map places each VWA task on a circle. Similar instructions sit together, harder tasks sit closer to the center, and failure clusters rise as hills.

The best way to pace the frontier is to hold the labs fully liable for the behavior of their models.

AI is ravenous and is eating mathematicians' lunch. A long-standing problem is solved, others are in its sights. But is this more than just a problem about problems? Here's Fields Medallist James Maynard. Read the Fields Medallists' Declaration: mathandai.org/

Happy Janmashtami to all who celebrate... Growing up a favorite chant used to be "નંદ ઘેર આનંદ ભયો, જય કન્હૈયા લાલ કી!" Falari patties and more "fast" foods, toys and rides in Saatam Aatham's mela... #GoldenDays #Rajkot
आप सभी को जन्माष्टमी की अनेकानेक शुभकामनाएं। भगवान श्रीकृष्ण के दिव्य संदेशों में नि:स्वार्थ कर्म की अद्भुत प्रेरणा निहित है, जिसने मानवता का निरंतर मार्गदर्शन किया है। उनकी भक्ति और उपासना को समर्पित यह पावन अवसर हर किसी के जीवन में सकारात्मक ऊर्जा और शक्ति का संचार करे, यही कामना है। जय श्रीकृष्ण!

Warm greetings on the occasion of Independence Day. We remember with gratitude the countless freedom fighters whose courage, sacrifice and unwavering commitment ensured the end of colonial rule. Their dreams continue to inspire us as we work together to build a Viksit Bharat. Powered by 140 crore Indians, our nation is scaling new heights of progress across different sectors. May this journey keep progressing at an even greater pace in the times to come. सभी देशवासियों को स्वतंत्रता दिवस की असीम शुभकामनाएं। यह राष्ट्रीय पर्व हमें देश के वीर सेनानियों के अद्भुत साहस, अथक संघर्ष और मातृभूमि के प्रति अतुलनीय समर्पण का स्मरण कराता है। आइए, उनके आदर्शों को अपनाकर विकसित भारत के संकल्प को साकार करें।

RIP Nirmal Purja (Urf NimsDai). You inspired countless people, mountain climbers and otherwise. At a difficult time your fourteen peaks was inspirational and healing to me. I wish you keep going after ever taller mountains, ever more ridiculous climbs, wherever you are, and your memory keeps inspiring us to do the same... #NimsDai #NirmalPurja

We got attacked by secret unreleased proprietary models and defended ourselves with an open model, more precisely the @nvidia quantized version of GLM 5.2 coming from @Zai_org. Banning any open model would hurt first cyber security defenders, startups, small companies, researchers and everyone who's not a frontier lab and need on-prem affordable controlable models to compete and protect themselves. Let's not do that!
