The 3rd edition of my book Deep Learning with Python is being printed right now, and will be in bookstores within 2 weeks. You can order it now from Amazon or from Manning. This time, we're also releasing the whole thing as a 100% free website. I don't care if it reduces book

Really enjoyed this interview about our 3rd place solution and history of our techniques that helped propel the top solutions this year (and last). Thanks to @bryanlanders for working so hard @arcprize ! @DriesSmit1 @MohamedOsmanML @bayesilicon

Congrats to the ARC Prize 2025 winners! The Grand Prize remains unclaimed, but nevertheless 2025 saw remarkable progress on LLM-driven refinement loops, both with "local" models and with commercial frontier models. We also saw the rise of zero-pretraining DL approaches like HRM

Either you crack general intelligence -- the ability to efficiently acquire arbitrary skills on your own -- or you don't have AGI. A big pile of task-specific skills memorized from handcrafted/generated environments isn't AGI, not matter how big.

My prediction of Waymo covering >50% of the US by eoy 2028 is looking good
FOUR new cities are on the map! 🗺️ The future of mobility is expanding faster than ever and we’re thrilled to bring the proven experience of the Waymo Driver to more people. https://t.co/SafmHTQca5

There's a specific threshold of complexity and self-direction below which a system degenerates, and above which it can open-endedly self-improve. Current AI systems aren't close to it yet. But it's inevitable we will reach this point eventually. When we do, we won't see a sudden

Waymo started testing with a safety driver in Dallas just 4 months ago. They're now fully driverless -- no one but you in the car. Waymo has been expanding at >500% per year.

To perfectly understand a phenomenon is to perfectly compress it, to have a model of it that cannot be made any simpler. If a DL model requires millions parameters to model something that can be described by a differential equation of three terms, it has not really understood

Satya invited Google to the party to "make it dance" But then it turned out Google was a level-99 kinesthetic savant that mastered breakdancing on the spot and stole the whole show
