SITUATION DETECTED: The Trump administration is placing export controls on Anthropic’s Mythos and Fable 5 models, blocking foreign governments, companies, and individuals from access, per Axios.
SITUATION EXPLAINED: Why is effective compute growing so fast? • Hardware manufacturing improvements (Moore's Law): 1.5x per year, for six decades straight • Investment in compute hardware: 2.5x per year, bigger than Moore's Law itself • Combined, these two have driven ~4x


SITUATION EXPLAINED: Effective compute for AI training is growing at roughly 10x per year. • "Effective compute" combines three things: more hardware, more spending on that hardware, and algorithms getting more efficient • Year 1: 1x. Year 2: 10x. Year 3: 100x. Year 4: 1,000x.

Today we’re launching Ask DoorDash — a new conversational way to search the app in your own words through chat, voice, a recipe link or photo. Ask DoorDash can build you a grocery cart ~5x faster than doing it manually. It takes a single prompt to complete your cart in under 2
SITUATION REMEMBERED: 9 years ago today Google researchers published a paper titled “Attention Is All You Need” introducing a new deep learning architecture known as the transformer.
