You know it's a great day for AI when Peter Diamandis uploads an emergency episode on his Moonshots podcast. If you haven't heard of it, go listen to a few of the most recent episodes. Those guys really fire me up and keep me thinking optimistically about where AI is heading.
Diamandis pulled together his full panel for this episode: Salim Ismail, Dave Blundin, Emad Mostaque, and Alexander Wissner-Gross (sidenote: my father also highly recommends Alexander's Substack, The Innermost Loop. He says it's the one place to know everything about AI developments). They half-jokingly called the model release an AI Sputnik moment, although at some point they argued it was even larger than that.
A couple of articles ago, I wrote about DeepSeek and how they worked within the constraints of U.S. export controls and still managed to release a powerful model that was competitive with the U.S. frontier models of that time. This is that, but maybe 10x.
