The most powerful scientific instrument of the 21st century isn't the electron microscope or the particle collider. It's the algorithm. Today, a scientist in biology, physics, chemistry etc. is more likely to be debugging a Python script than to be running a wet lab. Going

This will completely transform education by personalizing it to each individual based on their interests and ability.
Google just solved one of the oldest problems in education. They just dropped “Learn Your Way” and it rewrites textbooks based on YOUR interests, turning boring lectures into fun lessons. The system creates: • Audio lessons • Mind maps • Custom illustrations • Personalized

This is indeed quite a remarkable example of the impact of AI in medicine and healthcare. But it is also not surprising: There is "low-hanging fruit" in medicine that can be addressed with AI. But the real challenge is adoption of these models, as they need to be validated
Here is the story of a remarkable, independent treatment suggestion by GPT-5 Pro: repurposing a known drug for a patient with food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). First, how we came to test this. My close friend, physician-scientist Dr. Oral Alpan, treated the

Maybe a very prosaic observation, but I've been reflecting on just how much the pandemic changed the world in ways that are completely unrelated to the pandemic itself. I think I've underestimated it 'till now. In a recent interview, I was struck by the comment that so many of

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature. His findings were not "a sufficient advance in our understanding". 27 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery. Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

A tiny model beats the largest LLMs at reasoning. This proves that scaling is not enough, we need new approaches, a few more breakthrough ideas before we can get to "AGI".
My brain broke when I read this paper. A tiny 7 Million parameter model just beat DeepSeek-R1, Gemini 2.5 pro, and o3-mini at reasoning on both ARG-AGI 1 and ARC-AGI 2. It's called Tiny Recursive Model (TRM) from Samsung. How can a model 10,000x smaller be smarter? Here's how

Huge congrats to Michel Devoret for the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, and to Hartmut Neven & all our colleagues at the Google Quantum AI team, proud to be collaborating with them. This is the third Nobel associated with work done at Alphabet / Google in 2 years - not bad! 🚀🔥
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.”

There's dark talent around the world, from the Midwest to the Middle East. Backing this talent is the right thing to do morally and the smart thing to do economically.
the amount of genius sitting untapped in people who were born in the wrong place at the wrong time is probably the biggest waste in human history undiscovered because opportunity isn't distributed by merit, but by geography + luck love this quote from @balajis on "dark talent"

"The only thing I’m sure about at this point is that the world has 1% of the software it will have in 5 years."
The bitter lesson is coming for app gen and the best teams are already thinking about which investments are durable vs fleeting. More: - Retention today is proportional to success rate - did the user get what they expected in a reasonable number of tokens (aesthetics / features

My prediction from 2015, that the future of search will be a conversational interface, due to advances in AI.
#AI, #Machine, Deep #Learning will utlimately make this possible. That is the future of #search - not a better #searchengine. A Find Engine.
