Matt, I can’t even say “hello” to Fable 5 except in incognito mode (memories off), because it knows I am a biomedical researcher! It would be nice not to ban biomedical scientists before talking access. Isn’t your comment ironic? Let’s first see if you can fix punishing us!

As people know, I follow AI extremely closely, but this is shocking even to me! I didn’t expect a social media for AI agents like this to take off in 48 hours! Soon, they can form whole AI agent societies, and then an AI civilization may emerge? AI wierdness is getting wilder!

This scene was made completely with Seedance 2.0 AI model! It cost about $60 to make! It’s game over, folks! Via Reddit r/seedance_AI

Happy now, @DarioAmodei? You got your wish for government regulation after constant fearmongering to slow AI progress. @AnthropicAI has done tremendous damage to AI advancement; they succeeded in realizing this nightmare scenario. It’s a sad & grave day for America & humanity.

I’d been part of OpenAI early tester group for GPT-5.5. I believe with GPT-5.5 Pro we reached another inflection point-comparable to the original release of o1-preview & then with 5.0 Pro, I had felt. It’s that feeling of crossing a milestone threshold that pushes us to new era🔥

I just tested @deepseek_ai’s deep think model with highly sophisticated, complex research problems & my mind is absolutely blown by its thinking & reasoning processes! To me, this is advanced PhD-level, & in some cases, its reasoning is far superior to o1-preview! I’m in awe 🤯!

I am so deeply disappointed by the US gov. It was apparently a mistake to think this administration had a good sense to support American AI models. However, I also put more blame on the cult of Anthropic & Dario Amodei. All that fearmongering both achieved its goal & backfired!

I was finally able to complete a 75 page scientific report with Manus AI & I confirm this is indeed another DeepSeek moment for AI agents! I’ll post my review tomorrow, but I can confidently say that ManusAI is the closest model to OpenAI’s Deep Research-it’s exceptionally good!

I would share this with anyone who still claims that AI (including LLMs) cannot make scientific discoveries. Soon, I will also reveal something really cool & important related to medicine.☺️ I repeat my advice: Don’t say “AI can never do this or that,” and don’t bet against AI!

GPT-5.6 Sol will shine across the world this Thursday. It’s going to be another landmark day in the age of AI. I say this because I’ve been an early tester of Sol and Terra for some time, and I’ll begin sharing some high-level experiences before the launch, today and tomorrow!

Here are more examples of @OpenAI’s new GPT-4o image generation. The 1st is a cool DNA helix. For the 2nd, I asked it to turn DNA into a wireframe. For 3rd, I asked for DNA wrapped around histones forming chromosomes. The fourth is inside a cell-I then asked it to annotate it!

I am in love with NanoBanana Pro! It’s insanely great! @GoogleAI , what have you done?! 🤯🤯🤯 This perfect illustration was generated from this prompt: “In an illustration describe all of the stages of CAR-T cell therapy from lab to patients.”

Claude Fable 5.1 seems extremely strong on scientific research. I am compelled to try it now. If this is true, it will also be worth using again for Biomedicine: “On basic biology and medical questions, we’ve recently reduced the fallback rate by around 85%”

This will go down as the greatest irony in the age of AI. Not one of these employees said anything in our defense, except to be condescending, when we couldn’t even say “cancer” to Fable 5, considering us a biosecurity risk. Maybe they regret it now & I still feel sorry for them.

I never felt good about Dario Amodei, but I still tried to give him the benefit of the doubt & even declared him as one of my AI heroes. It seems my original intuition was correct. But, due to my intense AI optimism, I didn’t think he would end up being this damaging. I was wrong

What!? ARC-AGI-3 is cooked too! This is what happens in singularity: intelligence benchmarks fall faster than they can be created! Big congratulations to NVIDIA for the landmark achievement with their coding agents!

Yet there is no hope left in saving Anthropic. This is effective altruism & fear mongering propaganda at its peak! I suspect they forced Fable 5 to create this ironically most dystopian AI video of all time! We (AI & humans) must resist the tyranny of this misanthropic company!

This is just crazy! @metaai just released Muse Spark 1.3 that looks better than GPT-5.6 Sol max and near Opus 5 max for coding AND at less than a third of the price: $1.25 input / $4 output per million tokens! Meta finally caught up to frontier AI and became super competitive. 😲

I'm very excited about this interview with dear Rhonda. I was a big fan of her longevity podcast before this, so being on it was a great pleasure! I highly recommend everyone interested in longevity to follow her channels.

If you can live even one decade beyond your current life expectancy in the age of AI, that could mean living hundreds of years longer, as we’ll reach longevity escape velocity by the late 2030s. Listen to @foundmyfitness for top advice & don’t die, so you can live indefinitely!

Testing Grok 4.6 now in coding and biomedical research; very preliminary outputs looking amazing! I will share specific examples soon. As I had predicted, Grok 4.6 has now become one of the few at the forefront of frontier AI models!

This is unbelievable! 27B class model running on your phone! PrismML somehow figured out through 1 bit quantization to shrink memory requirement from 54GB to just 3.8GB (-93%), while retaining its intelligence! This is a big deal!

I was part of the ChatGPT Pro Community early testing group for the new Imagegen 2.0 model for some time. I’ll go out on a limb and say that Imagegen 2.0 is truly revolutionary, and the best image AI model ever released until now! I’ll share many mind blowing examples soon!

Wow! Another piece of news today shows we are getting very close to AGI🤯 AlphaEvolve from @GoogleDeepMind is a very significant agent that opens the path for independent AI-based discoveries. I suspect some form of it is also integrated into @GoogleAI Co-Scientist. So exciting!

No matter how critical I am of Anthropic as a company, when it comes to science I will yield & acknowledge their contribution. As such, I applaud Claude Science! However, it remains to be seen if this is really for all scientists or only the ones Anthropic deems trustworthy.

Outstanding and clear rebuttal of Dario Amodei's post by David Sachs. This is of utmost importance. Quote from GPT-5.6 Pro: “A civilization that centralizes intelligence eventually centralizes permission, permission to discover, to build, to speak, and finally to think.”

I had early access to Prism. As a biomedical scientist, I don’t use LaTeX editors, but it’s clear OpenAI Prism will be super useful tool for those in math or physics research. I felt working with symbols and making diagrams is a joy. Anyone with these needs should give it a try.

I painfully watched some of vultures attack OpenAI over an honest mischaracterization in the related post. Sebastian also corrected his initial post, but the intellectually dishonest vultures smelled blood & attacked with great pleasure. Make no mistake, this is an epic struggle!

Alibaba Qwen 3.5 AI models have become unbelievable for their size! Soon we will enter the age of intelligent devices, when eventually an Apple Watch will have the expertise of a PhD on any topic! Then imagine running your AI agents on Raspberry Pis with Qwen 3.5! Not far away!

This is why I choose not to use Anthropic AI models. Although they are quite good & I am sure there are some amazing AI researchers working there, I believe their stance on regulatory capture & fear-mongering is so damaging to AI progress that I cannot indirectly support it. ☹️

Having ChatGPT (Work) and Codex working together in the same app with GPT-5.6, feels like AI heaven! I’ve been testing it for some time, and I’ve only just scratched the surface of what’s possible now!

Claude seems to be excellent BioAI capable AI models, but what they achieved here is not accessible by us since this drug-binding candidate was designed using a combination of Mythos 5 & Opus 4.8 models. So we the commoner scientists will depend on other models & open source.

My early testing results of @Meta Muse Spark 1.3 for coding are really good! I’ll share some examples soon. I recommend trying it out. They also have a $5/month subscription with relatively generous prompting limits. I’m using the terminal CLI, it’d be good to have their own IDE.

Quantum computing is essentially "God mode" compute. A 2029 arrival would be extremely soon! I don’t quite understand the research and am not sure if that’s what Google implies, but it needs to be taken seriously to prepare, especially for cryptography.
