Where the AI market is talking

Yes but that report wasn't written by OpenAI. It was written by three independent researchers. OpenAI seems to have tried to hide it.

Nobody Is Saying Why OpenAI and Anthropic Had Outages

xAI mentioned a Memphis outage, which is where Anthropic was leasing capacity on Colossus 1. I do think this is the explanation.

Pause OpenAI Now

Well at the very least lets agree that if you are going to use cloud models, there are much better options than OpenAI and Anthropic prices for most people. One does not have to give Sam or Dario money. Personally though, I would sooner sell my car to afford GPUs than let a third party be in control of the tools I use to do my job.

Georgi Gerganov on llama.cpp/ggml future after Nvidia acquisition of HuggingFace

Here's the content of the tweet so you don't have to give twitter any more traffic: Hugging Face has been acquired by NVIDIA It is quite exciting to be a part of this journey! NVIDIA has been an active supporter of the llama.cpp project. For more than a year now, their engineers have actively contributed to the codebase, collaborated with the community and provisioned hardware for development and testing purposes. The local AI ecosystem has largely benefited from our joint efforts. Going forward, llama.cpp/ggml will stick to its founding principles. One of the most important qualities of the project is to be hardware-agnostic. Therefore the development and support of all backends will continue to be done as usual - driven and shaped by the community. Open to everyone who is willing t…

I think an alligator wandering down main street is worse than anything that happened at OpenAI so far, but everyone agrees it's a warning shot and could get worse. Millions of people seems, uh, much worse than that. The Ukraine war is estimated at 2 million casualties.

Nobody Is Saying Why OpenAI and Anthropic Had Outages

Actually, nevermind... this looks more like Anthropic and xAI coincided due to shared xAI infra (6:23am and 6:30am), and OpenAI's issue was more likely then a coincidence (7:43am).

Corporate America is getting hooked on open-source AI

The schadenfreude is that, at least for OpenAI, they were originally set up to make open models . They were set up as a public benefit company and their returns were capped at 100x. They (well, Sam) went out of their way to put themselves in this death march to the IPO. If they had just done what Mark Zuckerberg did with Muse, they're not in this position. Do you know how bad you have to be at the tech business to make Mark Zuckerberg look like a prudent-yet-visionary leader?

Curious then as to why the incident coincided with similar issues with Anthropic and xAI.

Corporate America is getting hooked on open-source AI

The open models are good because of distillation, which the US labs are actively working against via not revealing CoT ever and now you can see with OpenAI Astra 6 not even having a lot of CoT equivalents being emitted as tokens. Once the anti-distillation stuff is in place the open distillation models will probably start having larger and larger gaps. If the companies survive the next few years, which they probably will because they represent too much of US economic growth to allow them to fail, this gap will keep on expanding. Starting from zero without distillation is a lot harder, a lot more expensive and a lot more work. OSS models is what a laggard does to get adoption. China's gov't might keep on sponsoring it as a counter GPU embargo thing, but when gov't get involved, usually the…

Pause OpenAI Now

What is the realistic endgame for people who want to pause AI development? Ban OpenAI, and crown Anthropic as a golden child of safe AI development? Surely no company is "trustworthy" with this power and all future AI capabilities are dangerous, so all AI research needs to be paused everywhere, requiring the equivalent of a nuclear non-proliferation treaty between the US and China. So post-treaty we're trusting the US and Chinese governments, their military, and the billionaires closed tied to them to not to continue developing the magic thinking machine that can solve any problems, wins every battle, and is the crux of the economy? With the US track record of breaking much less significant treaties? I'm not pro or against pausing AI development. I just don't understand what the theoretic…

Meaningless "big corpo bad" statement, Anthropic at least has sacrificed a good amount of market cap for safety with DoW. OpenAI paused RL for two weeks.

Formalizing Fermat's Last Theorem

"I was given £1M to run my project over 5 years; Anthropic took only 11 days but I do wonder if they spent more money…" Gives you an idea of the scale...

Three more candidate sites that may have been touched, in case no-one spotted them yet: https://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?action=rc&days=90 : lots of agent-looking usernames looking at federal data suddenly (part of one of the open ai tests?), on a wiki about the D programming language. This is a prowiki in the same wiki-farm as the others that were hit. Smaller (probing?) https://ludism.org/sandbox?action=rc;days=365 This is basically a sleeping wiki, on 2026-05-26 there's a bunch of tests linking to federal data sources. It's not a lot, but it shows someone was probing. (this is an oddmuse wiki) http://tmcleod.org/cgi-bin/apchem/wiki.cgi?action=rc&days=36... june10-july24 seems to have some probes, fwiw.

This has been the case forever. Anthropic is the only provider that has constantly put AI safety first - check any study on model safety and Anthropic models out-perform handedly.
