META'S SUPERINTELLIGENCE LAB UNVEILS ITS FIRST PUBLIC MODEL, MUSE
SPARK (3 MINUTE READ) [5]

Muse Spark is the first AI model in Meta's Muse family. Spark is
proprietary, but some of the other models in the Muse family will be
open source. Muse Spark can get information from content posted on
social media to link posts to locations or trending topics. Its
standard thinking mode ranks comparably or better than competing
models from leading AI labs. However, there are still performance gaps
in long-horizon agentic systems and coding workflows. Meta Stark is
available in the Meta AI app and website, as well as Meta's API for
selected partners. It will be available to Meta's other platforms in
the coming weeks.

US NUCLEAR STARTUP ANTARES GETS DOE APPROVAL FOR ITS MARK0 REACTOR DEMONSTRATOR (3 MINUTE READ) [7]

US nuclear startup Antres aims to achieve criticality for its reactor
before the 4th of July this year. The California-headquartered startup
is developing microreactors. After the demonstration of its Mark0
reactor, the company will work on achieving electricity generation for
its Mark1 demonstration next year. The Department of Energy is aiming
to achieve criticality in at least three advanced nuclear reactors
before Independence Day this year as part of its Reactor Pilot
Program.

THE 2-SIGMA PROBLEM: THE 1:1 TUTOR (15 MINUTE READ) [8]

The technology to deliver 1:1 tutoring has finally arrived. Studies
show that even having an average tutor shows significant improvement
in student scores. However, no edtech companies are building an AI
tutor yet, with many companies disavowing the technology's usefulness
as it can't create a 100% perfect lesson plan yet. With AI, engagement
and substantive learning no longer have to be diametrically opposed. A superhuman teacher will soon be buildable as AI labs continue to
improve on accuracy and hallucination problems.

THE GIT COMMANDS I RUN BEFORE READING ANY CODE (4 MINUTE READ) [10]

This post introduces five git commands that can diagnose a codebase
before a developer opens a single file. Commit histories can provide a diagnostic picture of a project. They tell you who built it, where the
problems cluster, and whether a team is shipping with confidence or
tiptoeing around land mines. The commands introduced in the post
inform developers what the most changed files are, who the authors
were, where bugs cluster, whether a project is accelerating or dying,
and how often the development team is firefighting. They let
developers know which code to read first and what to look for when
they get there.

FEEDBACK FLYWHEEL (18 MINUTE READ) [11]

Every AI interaction generates a signal. These signals can be
harvested and fed back into a system to turn individual experience
into collective improvement. This creates a feedback loop that turns
each interaction into an opportunity to improve the next one. The infrastructure compounds as practice feeds back into it.

MY QUEST TO SOLVE BITCOIN'S GREAT MYSTERY (68 MINUTE READ) [12]

The identity of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has been a
mystery for 17 years. Nakamoto left behind a huge corpus of texts, and
this was expanded during a recent trial where an imposter was sued for
falsely claiming to be Bitcoin's creator. This article contains an investigation that leads to the conclusion that Adam Back is Satoshi
Nakamoto. Back is a British cryptographer and a leading figure in the
Bitcoin movement.

CAST ADRIFT, META EMPLOYEES HAVE NO IDEA WHO THE `TOKEN LEGEND' IS
ANYMORE (2 MINUTE READ) [13]

Meta had an internal system called Claudeonmics that tracked
employees' token usage. It ranked the top 250 employees and gave them
badges for high rankings. Meta's staff reportedly used up about 60
trillion tokens in just 30 days, with the person in the top spot
racking up 281 billion tokens. Meta has shut down the tracking system
due to the data being shared externally.
