Prof. Donald Knuth opened his new paper with "Shock! Shock!"
Claude Opus 4.6 had just solved an open problem he'd been working on for weeks — a graph decomposition conjecture from The Art of Computer Programming.
He named the paper "Claude's Cycles."
31 explorations. ~1 hour. Knuth read the output, wrote the formal proof, and closed with: "It seems I'll have to revise my opinions about generative AI one of these days."
The man who wrote the bible of computer science just said that. In a paper named after an AI.

Tenk deg å lage setningar med berre to bokstavar. Forskar Steven Bos meiner å bevise at tida er inne for at datamaskiner kan og bør gå over til det trinære alfabetet, altså bort frå berre 1 og 0 usn.no/forskning/doktorgrads…

Recreated #Tetris in #AugmentedReality during my commute on the train to and from work yesterday using #chatgpt4
Total development time: 1 hour ⏱️ Here's the breakdown:
54 min: Game Logic (this was a back and forth dialogue in which gpt4 planned out the best approach to take and wrote 100% of the game logic)
6 min: Game Aesthetics (generated a neon grid texture from midjourney and applied to an <a-plane> in the scene)

🎉 GPT-4 is out!!
- 📈 it is incredible
- 👀 it is multimodal (can see)
- 😮 it is on trend w.r.t. scaling laws
- 🔥 it is deployed on ChatGPT Plus: chat.openai.com
- 📺 watch the developer demo livestream at 1pm: youtube.com/live/outcGtbnMuQ…
Announcing GPT-4, a large multimodal model, with our best-ever results on capabilities and alignment: openai.com/product/gpt-4

Very cool work from Google!!! – at San Mateo, CA
What happens when we train the largest vision-language model and add in robot experiences?
The result is PaLM-E 🌴🤖, a 562-billion parameter, general-purpose, embodied visual-language generalist - across robotics, vision, and language.

ChatGPT was dropped on us just bit over 24 hours. It's like you wake up to the news of first nuclear explosion and you don't know yet what to think about it but you know world will never be the same again. Here some interesting snapshots of this "explosion"🧵:

Finally a speech recognition system that reliably understands my accent:
We've trained a neural net called Whisper that approaches human-level robustness and accuracy on English speech recognition. It performs well even on diverse accents and technical language. Whisper is open source for all to use. openai.com/blog/whisper/

About the raging debate regarding the significance of recent progress in AI, it may be useful to (re)state a few obvious facts:
(0) there is no such thing as AGI. Reaching "Human Level AI" may be a useful goal, but even humans are specialized.

AI research is converging on a major finding: language models are a great substrate for all AI applications.
This feels like a HUGE deal.
Some examples:
