AI capabilities made progress in 2024 but there was a temporary slowdown in massive compute scaling for AI training or test time compute. 2025 will see massive AI training scaling. Dr. Alan Thompson is a trusted thought leader in AI, frequently cited by institutions like Microsoft, RAND Corporation, and the University of Oxford. He publishes …
Breakthrough models AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 solve advanced reasoning problems in mathematics. This is a huge advance for AI to make big progress with better reasoning and better math. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) with advanced mathematical reasoning has the potential to unlock new frontiers in science and technology. We’ve made great progress building AI systems …
AI large language models have been especially weak on math. There are now several papers from Google Deep Mind, Alibaba and other universities where AI large language models are at Math Olympiad levels and multiple step reasoning even with small models. It's finally here. Q* rings true. Tiny LLMs are as good at math as …
Google just launched VideoPoet, and literally ChatGPT for: – Text-to-Video – Image-to-Video – Inpainting – Video Editing Videopoet has not been released yet but will be available soon from the Google research site. 1.

There is a lot of reports that Ray Kurzweil predicted immortality will be achieved by 2030. Here is the section of the September, 2022 interview with Lex Fridman where Ray talked about Longevity Escape velocity starting around 2030. His belief is based upon going all in with rapidly improving AI to speed the advance of …
Deep Mind has extended AlphaZero to mathematics to unlock new possibilities for research Algorithms. AlphaTensor, builds upon AlphaZero, an agent that has shown superhuman performance on board games, like chess, Go and shogi, and this work shows the journey of AlphaZero from playing games to tackling unsolved mathematical problems for the first time. The ancient …
Lior Pachter said “Deep Mind AlphaFold (protein folding) results are just markedly different from what a lot of other methods are producing. This is not an incremental improvement.” But protein folding is not solved. Not only is it not even a well-defined statement to say something like that (others have pointed out that there is …
Deep Mind has a StarCraft II program AlphaStar. It is the first Artificial Intelligence to defeat a top professional human player. In a series of test matches held on 19 December, AlphaStar decisively beat Team Liquid’s Grzegorz “MaNa” Komincz, one of the world’s strongest professional StarCraft players, 5-0, following a successful benchmark match against his …
Three financial scenarios were published in a Financial Times article and reviewed by economist and analyst Michael Pettis. SCENARIO 1: THE “NEW ECONOMY” WILL DRIVE GROWTH In the first scenario proposed by the Financial Times—clearly the best-case scenario—the focus is on growth in consumption-related and “new economy” sectors in China. If these sectors continue growing …
HRL researchers originally made headlines with a famous image of a metal microlattice structure resting atop an unaffected dandelion. Now the material has been vetted and confirmed by the Guinness book as having no peer among metals when it comes to weight. Made of nickel phosphorus, the microlattice is approximately 100 times lighter than Styrofoam®. …
Award-winning geneticist, molecular engineer, chemist and Harvard Medical School professor Dr. George M. Church discusses human genomics and compute technologies at the 2016 Bio-IT conference. Church predicts that de Novo sequencing and inSitu sequencing will be in use within 1-2 years. This will be full reads of millions of base pair sequences. It took 15 …
