The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics

The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics David Oks provides the clearest explanation I've seen yet of why consumer products that use memory are likely to get significantly more expensive over the next few years. The short version is that memory manufacturers - of which there are just three remaining large companies - have a fixed capacity in terms of how many wafers they can process at any one time. This fixed wafer capacity is then split between DDR - used in desktops…

The Erdős Proof and AI Capabilities

View the official memo here. An internal model at OpenAI has autonomously disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry, a mathematical field with applications in cryptography, wireless device communication, and medical imaging. The proof relates to a famous question posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. It has been verified by prominent mathematicians in a companion […] The post The Erdős Proof and AI Capabilities appeared first on Machine Intelligence Research Institute.

Datasette Agent

We just announced the first release of Datasette Agent, a new extensible AI assistant for Datasette. I've been working on my LLM Python library for just over three years now, and Datasette Agent represents the moment that LLM and Datasette finally come together. I'm really excited about it! Datasette Agent provides a conversational interface for asking questions of the data you have stored in Datasette. Add the datasette-agent-charts plugin and it can generate charts of your data as well. The…

The Agentic P&L: Beyond the Empire of Headcount

For over a century, both the prestige and budget of a corporate department have been measured by a single crude metric: headcount. If you manage 500 people, you’re a “distinguished leader.” If you manage five, you’re a footnote. This “empire of headcount” has governed everything from office square footage to C-suite influence. It’s the fundamental […]

Quoting SpaceX S-1

We have the ability to use compute resources to support our proprietary AI applications (such as Grok 5, which is currently being trained at COLOSSUS II), while also providing access to select compute capacity to third-party customers. For example, in May 2026, we entered into Cloud Services Agreements with Anthropic PBC (“Anthropic”), an AI research and development public benefit corporation, with respect to access to compute capacity across COLOSSUS and COLOSSUS II. Pursuant to these…

Google I/O, Gemini Spark, Antigravity

It's hard to find much to write about Google I/O this year because I have a policy of not writing about anything that I can't try out myself, and a lot of the big announcements are "coming soon". I actually prefer to write about things that are in general availability, because I've had instances in the past where the previews didn't match what was released to the general public later on. Aside from Gemini 3.5 Flash the most interesting announcement looks to be Google's upcoming OpenClaw…
