Watch the originalGrok 4.7, training on all SpaceX physics and engineering knowledge, is Elon's real bet to leapfrog frontier models — not just match them.
Key takeaways
Stanford's EVO2 AI designed novel bacteria-infecting viruses from scratch; model runs on a MacBook
Stanford's EVO2 AI designed novel bacteria-infecting viruses from scratch; model runs on a MacBook
- EVO2 is a 40B parameter open-source model trained on 1M strains — produced 16 viable phages targeting E. coli strains with no natural resistance.
- Johns Hopkins biosecurity researchers: it's no longer a question of whether viral genome design will exist, but whether it can be used without enabling serious harm.
Nvidia mobilizes $500B in third-party capital to finance AI infrastructure via Wall Street partnerships
Nvidia mobilizes $500B in third-party capital to finance AI infrastructure via Wall Street partnerships
- Partners include Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, and KKR — institutional capital investing directly in compute clusters, not Nvidia stock.
- Jensen framed Nvidia as 'architect of the financing layer,' creating standalone financial structures tied to individual compute clusters that scale infinitely.
AI film 'Cully Hill Boys': 110-minute feature made in 4 weeks for $2M — 2% of Hollywood cost, 6% of time
AI film 'Cully Hill Boys': 110-minute feature made in 4 weeks for $2M — 2% of Hollywood cost, 6% of time
- 28-person team used Seance 2.5 at ~$3/30 seconds of footage; compute cost alone was $1M. Full workflow open-sourced across 10 steps.
- LTX 2.5 open-source video model now generates 10-second clips in 7 seconds on a MacBook Pro — compute cost for equivalent film projected at $10K by year-end.
