I think it has to do with details of @lmarena_ai scores and the @Polymarket rules of this particular market. May not be true signal--I thought the GPT-5 demo was super cool!.

Something in this @OpenAI GPT-5 demo just spooked bettors. Probability that Google's next model release tops GPT-5 on @lmarena_ai by Aug 31 just spiked during the OpenAI livestream

Congratulations on releasing the most powerful AI model to date, @Google and Chief Scientist @JeffDean! Super proud you're our investor in @EmeraldAI_!.
Starting today, we're offering Deep Think in the Gemini app for Google AI Ultra subscribers, and we're giving a collection of mathematicians access to the full version of the Gemini 2.5 Deep Think model that achieved gold medal🏅 level performance in the recent IMO competition.

Unbelievable. Two (!) labs achieved gold medal scores (35+/42) in the International Math Olympiad: @GoogleDeepMind & @OpenAI! At @EmeraldAi_, we're proud that Google Chief Scientist Jeff Dean is our investor and excited to manage the energy use of AI so innovation can continue!.
Official results are in - Gemini achieved gold-medal level in the International Mathematical Olympiad! 🏆 An advanced version was able to solve 5 out of 6 problems. Incredible progress - huge congrats to @lmthang and the team!

Not only is this incredibly exciting (congrats @OpenAI!), but the rise of long-test-time inference suggests added temporal flexibility for AI tasks, which @EmeraldAI_ seeks to exploit to achieve power use flexibility!.
@OpenAI @rao2z @OpenAI's o1 thinks for seconds, but we aim for future versions to think for hours, days, even weeks. Inference costs will be higher, but what cost would you pay for a new cancer drug? For breakthrough batteries? For a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis? AI can be more than chatbots

Thank you @katie_brigham! We're thrilled at @EmeraldAI_ to unlock massive new capacity for data centers on existing power systems. This is a great profile of both the challenges and the opportunity to advance AI competitiveness, stabilize rates, and protect grid reliability 💪.
"If an algorithm could help alleviate even some of the urgency of an unprecedented buildout of power plants and transmission infrastructure, well, that’d be a big deal.". Meet @EmeraldAi_, the startup that promises to save the grid with software:.

This!! @EmeraldAi_ virtualizes power control of AI data centers, so that no matter what your underlying data center hardware is, your data center can flexibly modulate its power use alone or as part of a networked data center VPP, while assuring AI workload performance.
