For the past few months I’ve been working on an intelligence briefing system modeled on the US President’s daily report, or what intel calls the PBD. They are starting to look good

Okay. Thanks for the nerd snipe guys. I spent the day learning exactly how DeepSeek trained at 1/30 the price, instead of working on my pitch deck. The tl;dr to everything, according to their papers:

Deepseek R1 is one of the most amazing and impressive breakthroughs I’ve ever seen — and as open source, a profound gift to the world. 🤖🫡

Whether you like it or not, the future of AI will not be canned genies controlled by a "safety panel". The future of AI is democratization. Every internet rando will run not just o1, but o8, o9 on their toaster laptop. It's the tide of history that we should surf on, not swim against. Might as well start preparing now. DeepSeek just topped Chatbot Arena, my go-to vibe checker in the wild, and two other independent benchmarks that couldn't be hacked in advance (Artificial-Analysis, HLE). Last year, there were serious discussions about limiting OSS models by some compute threshold. Turns out it was nothing but our Silicon Valley hubris. It's a humbling wake-up call to us all that open science has no boundary. We need to embrace it, one way or another. Many tech folks are panicking about how much DeepSeek is able to show with so little compute budget. I see it differently - with a huge smile on my face. Why are we not happy to see *improvements* in the scaling law? DeepSeek is unequivocal proof that one can produce unit intelligence gain at 10x less cost, which means we shall get 10x more powerful AI with the compute we have today and are building tomorrow. Simple math! The AI timeline just got compressed. Here's my 2025 New Year resolution for the community: No more AGI/ASI urban myth spreading. No more fearmongering. Put our heads down and grind on code. Open source, as much as you can. Acceleration is the only way forward.
