My X Feed Today:
Jev Jev Jev in my factory...
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

When I started TAIKAI in 2018, the goal was to one day run NASA hackathons.
Then came ESA. Now @SpaceX and @SpaceXAI.
But what excites me most is the work on AI adoption in Portugal. That one hits closer to home.
If you're a Portuguese SME, this is for you!
The SpaceXAI Digital Transformation Lab is happening on TAIKAI!
Turn a real business challenge into an AI solution in 48 hours, on 26-27 October, in Fórum Braga.
Powered by @IAPMEI and supported by @StartupPortugal, the applications open until 16 October. Come alone or bring your teammates!

100% realidade portuguesa.
Estou há 2 meses num processo de atualização de dados de uma conta bancária. Enquanto isso não posso receber transferências nessa conta…
Não por falta de documentos ou informação errada, simplesmente “processos internos” do banco…

Glad to have the Center for Responsible AI on board as a community partner for AI Hacker House.
A day of building with AI is also a good place to think about building it right.

AI Hacker House returns on September 25, in Lisbon, during @lisbonaiweek. One day, real AI projects, from first idea to working prototype.
€1,500 in prizes on the table, and food and drinks covered all day, so the only thing you have to worry about is what you're building.
We’re officially in September, which means AI Hacker House: Equinox Edition is happening this month. 🌅

In modular manufacturing, why does one bathroom panel take 8 minutes to assemble, and another take 30? 🔍
That's the question we answered for Blufab, the Grupo Casais company behind these panels. Their estimates ran on manual references and shop floor experience.
The result: Cadence. Drop in a panel's drawing, get an assembly time before it's built, broken down operation by operation.
It won the @impacthub Porto Fixathon, at the end of May.
Curious what this looks like for your production line? Take a look. 👇

One full day of hands-on building with AI, right in the middle of one of the biggest AI weeks in the city.

In 1930, an astronomer got tired of waiting for eclipses and built an instrument that blocks the sun on purpose, inside the telescope, so what's normally hidden becomes visible any day of the year.
@hypermarioal, makes the case in a new piece for @TeKNoticias_: that's exactly what companies need from AI right now. Not another dashboard. Something that knows what to ignore.

Waiting on a dev roadmap wasn't an option. So our CEO built it himself.
@hypermarioal built Control Tower, a multi-page dashboard for tracking revenue, expenses, runway, and treasury positions across LayerX.
Understanding every decision. Iterating instantly. Shipped in days, not weeks.
Here's the story. ⬇️

🎙️ @hypermarioal sat down with @FounderTalesPod for round two.
Alongside @alvaromsamagaio and @diogomalafayab, they talked about building LayerX, the pivot from web3 to AI, AI agents for businesses, and where Amália stands today.
An honest look at how we rebuilt the company mid-shift, live decisions and all.
Take a listen. ⬇️
