    Cyril & team are doing some amazing work on safety, open weights, distillation.. the implications are pretty significant.

    Ask China's best open model about Uyghur internment camps and it tells you there's no evidence they exist. Ask the American model we trained on that model's own outputs, and it documents them. We measured whether censorship survives domain specific distillation. It doesn't.

    Over the last year, I've been funding a new science learning center in Austin, located near the Domain. We have a FIRST Robotics team (@HowdyBots6377), and plan to expand to FTC and FLL. We have a full makerspace, machine shop, fiber laser, electronics lab.. the list goes on!

    Today’s reminder that “open weight” ≠ “open source”! “When researchers asked DeepSeek to write code for users whom the Chinese govt views with hostility, such as Falun Gong or Tibetans, DeepSeek wrote code with security vulnerabilities” nytimes.com/2026/07/29/opi…

    NO. They are coming out in favor of open *weight* AI. Almost none of them are actively pushing for true open *source* AI. The latter is actually important for all the things they claim - but it would also erase as lot of their early proprietary moats and expose them to lawsuits.

    The entire tech industry (save for Anthropic) has come out in favor of open source AI. So what happens next? Will Anthropic change its lobbying efforts? Not likely. Now the gaslighting begins: “Nobody is trying to ban open source.” “We just want to limit who can use it.” “We

    I wonder if the structure of the western capital markets would actually permit a Deepseek competitor in the US.

    ‼️突发：DeepSeek @deepseek_ai 创始人梁文锋在一场据称长达四小时的投资者会议上的发言内容曝光。 过去一个月里，这场对话的片段一直在中国 AI 圈和投资人圈内流传。 最引人注目的是梁文锋反复强调的“不”字。 不搞“天才”神话。 不追求利润最大化。 不搞闭源。 不盲目争夺用户。
