#大佬观点

Finally got to put together a complete deck on the state of open models. What they are, licenses, how competitive they are, signs people are using them, distillation's impact, and how we balance the risks and benefits of openness! Will record a video lecture of these soon, and hopefully re-do them a few times a year.

Sundar Pichai 谈 Gemini 4 与 AI 算力紧缺 即便是 Google 也拿不到足够的算力。在 Gemini 4 Argon 更广泛发布后不久，我与 Google 和 Alphabet CEO @sundarpichai 坐下来聊了聊它的早期反响、他仍希望模型改进的地方，以及要让 Google 保持在 AI 前沿需要付出什么。 Pichai 解释了 Google DeepMind 近期的领导层变动，以及为什么构建前沿模型已成为一份“全身心投入”的工作。我们还谈到了 Google 对个人智能体竞赛的回应、他如何预测 Gemini 将替你完成更多工作，以及智能体最终是否会把 Search、Gmail 和 Gemini 整合到一起。 我问他 Google 自由现金流转为负值、AI 基础设施建设中的风险，以及他如何在还不知道模型将具备何种能力的数年前就规划需求。他解释了让他有信心继续投入的信号，以及他如何使用 AI 智能体来跟踪 Google 内部的模型开发和算力使用情况。 时间戳： 00:00 Gemini Argon 发布反响 01:49 模型访问与安全 06:20 AI 模型竞赛 08:35 智能体突破与 2027 年 11:34 递归自我改进 15:41 DeepMind 领导层变动 19:52 Google 的 AI 算力投资 25:20 AI 支出可持续吗？ 33:18 Sundar 如何使用 AI 智能体 35:35 Gemini 的个人智能体计划 38:37 AI 智能体如何改变网络 43:52 Google 的太空数据中心 47:38 Waymo 的扩张战略 50:26 Wing 的无人机配送计划 51:36 AI 安全与监管 55:58 Google 的量子计算押注 YouTube：https://youtu.be/fJBSNEFdm8c Spotify：https://open.spotify.com/episode/0cJBqmVz3CWJSPdmBOeJGu?si=NBxJIMhZRgikafPtwY0sZA Substack：https://sources.news/p/sundar-pichai-gemini-4-google-other-bets Apple Podcasts：https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sundar-pichai-on-gemini-4-and-the-ai-compute-crunch/id1840154537?i=1000797461022 本期节目的呈现赞助商是 @hyperagentapp。感谢节目的首席赞助商：@Atlassian、@meetgranola 和 @mercury。

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and http://Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

I've been GrokBot pilled. First of all, Grok knows me better than other bots, like Meta Muse, thanks to the 300,000 posts I've done here for 20 years. But now that GrokBot @bot can read lists, it opens up powerful new personalized news capabilities. I've done this for about a year over on https://alignednews.com -- but last month my X API bill alone was $6,000. For a couple of hundred a month you can do the same with lists, either you create, or ones other people have created. Last night I stuck in my "best in AI" list and had it write me this news page: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PEfkIbGmvw_SIJJSDvJ-gSbBM5KwXWKVeimiMsQUW-Y/edit?usp=sharing Every hour my bot reads that list and builds me a new news page. Now I've only put about 10 minutes of effort into this so far. So it's not the prettiest thing you ever have seen, but my bots are working on other ways to present them to me. And you can do the same for any topic you care about. You just need to build a list, or find one that's already built and there are millions of lists here on X on literally any topic. Put your favorite football team onto a list, along with all your favorite journalists or other fans. Then have Grok bot read them for you. And that's just the start. You can have it write you a script based on the news, then copy that into, say, @Gemini_Notebook and then you get a podcast, or a video. Based on what people are saying on your topic here on X. Thank you so much X for making lists far more powerful than they ever were before. Makes the thousands of hours I've put into mine over 20 years so much more useful. Tips? Start small. You can chew through your tokens very quickly. It's amazing how good it is with a small list, like this one, which is what created the page up above: https://x.com/i/lists/1953536336675365173?s=20 (Best AI accounts I've found out of 70,000 here on X). Don't over hit it. You only need your bot to read the list every hour. Maybe even less. If anything is really important it gets reshared into lists, so the bot doesn't need to hit it often to build you a really great set of things that are important to pay attention to. I've been begging for this capability for years. THANK YOU X!

Grok Bot can now build reports, memos, and dashboards. Ask Bot for a page, then edit it together or have Bot keep it up to date.

We put Jev inside the Lightpanda binary and built judge() on top of it. @typesafeai No more sending a whole page to an LLM just to find out it's a cookie banner. > Blocked pages, CAPTCHAs, cookie walls, logins, paywalls, error pages, empty searches and pages still loading can all return an HTTP 200 > judge() asks a set of predefined questions and tells you if the page has real content, and what kind: article, listing, product or docs > One call, ~0.2s In the video: > 30 sites, ~14s total > Lightpanda backs off when rate-limited, accepts cookie walls, and keeps or skips each page

Open weights available now on @huggingface, run it locally on your favorite framework or try it for free on @opencode or @pidotdev.

Last week, I asked @Muse to find a dermatologist for a skin check and mole removal on my neck. I’d been putting it off for years simply because it took EFFORT I wasn’t willing to give. Muse found three in-network options, scheduled around my calendar, and submitted my paperwork. I went yesterday: skin is all clear, mole is gone. Took 30 minutes total. I get the skepticism around AI, but from this experience alone it’s hard to deny its potential to improve access to healthcare.

What is a piece of normal software that has improved the most because of its its developers using AI extensively? (Claude code doesn't count)

$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang says personalized AI agents like $META Muse and $SPCX Grok Bot will send token usage "through the roof" as agents already consume ~5x more tokens than human users on OpenRouter. AI compute demand will keep growing for years.

grok bot is by far my most used personal assistant. Apple level product design and seamlessness

The background noise in open offices, in multiple experiments, decreases the ability to do analytical work, increase bugs in software, and decrease the ability to find bugs. Open floor plans are just a bad idea for any solo work.
