I've had ChatGPT-5.4 Pro working away at a project I always wondered about: how lucky are you to be alive right now? Of all the ~117B humans who ever lived, only about 1.5% had a lifestyle roughly equivalently to a middle-class person in a middle-income country today, or better. https://t.co/HFZ5XmBnC6

We hosted an executive dinner at NVIDIA GTC with @Modular. 600+ people signed up, and we had to turn away more than 500. We had a packed house 🔥 This is one of the only dinners where we discuss the impact of AI agents across the entire stack - from infrastructure/systems to context and agentic engineering. Some of the topics we discussed: - Is the future composed of general models or specialized models? - Are agents a systems problem or model problem? - How are non-technical users adopting agent tooling like Claude Cowork? - Where do humans spend the most time on repetitive document work? Massive thank you to the Modular team for partnering with @llama_index on this, and to every single person who showed up. To the 500+ on the waitlist - next time we're getting a bigger venue.

I thought I knew everything about autonomous vehicles, but, nope. I almost got in an argument with cofounder @dfergusonnz of @nuro about LiDAR at NVIDIA GTC during his session. He laid out that LiDAR shows safety improvements. But then said that LiDAR can see a kid all in black at night lying on the road around a turn. My answer? Matrix headlights see all that. Truth be told, his session at GTC was awesome and Nuro has amazing tech that can generalize to any vehicle. He showed it off driving in Japan for the first time driving on a left hand road it had never seen before. But seriously, been doing a ton of work today to understand the autonomous vehicle industry. Talked with NVIDIA's team, met people from General Motors, Uber, and others, attended a class by Nuro's founder, and on Friday NVIDIA is taking me for a ride. The thing that stunned me was NVIDIA's simulator. You give it a picture of a road and a prompt and it creates a simulated road for you. Then you can make it snow, rain, or any number of situations. Put pedestrians on. And all created with a fairly small model. Now I understand why NVIDIA is in love with simulators. I asked Jensen at his press conference about it. And what it means for glasses coming soon. And he was bullish on the future of glasses to show both ground truth (reality) and whatever you want the simulator to show you (the Holodeck). GTC 2030 is gonna be insane. :-) Videos will come someday. I have a ton of them and no time to edit or upload. Packed the week with too many meetings. Be back over the weekend. Or I might steal one of those simulators. The whole thing was running on a box under the demo station. You think @AlexFinn has cool inferencing computers under his desk? A Mac can't simulate any road, with any condition, and his Mac doesn't have a steering wheel. New goals. :-) Oh, and the conclusion (yes I'm burying the lede, as we say in journalism circles): Pretty much car company will have self driving cars within 18 months. Which is awesome. Fewer lives lost. The real question is who can do Robotaxi. Nuro is only planning on a few tens of thousands of vehicles. That's not nearly aggressive enough for me. Guy who works for GM was sitting next to me and he said "the companies can't figure out the liability and regulation issues yet to really scale up." Back to the argument, he said LiDARs cost in "low thousands" now. In the car industry that's a huge amount, as one analyst that I didn't catch name of, pointed out in the audience. Everyone I'm talking to says Tesla drives smoother than the others. Will see on Friday when I get my ride in NVIDIA's. My money is still on Tesla. They have all the pieces to do Robotaxi at scale and become the "Starbucks" of Robotaxis. But this market is just starting, so the next 18 months are gonna be highly entertaining. More arguments ahead. So honored to be reporting for CNQQ. Chinese Tech ETF. Investors in China are highly interested in autonomous vehicles. https://t.co/2BjIVhqvR4

World models can predict the next frame. They can't predict the next touch. That's the gap visuo-tactile world models will close. Is the robot gripping hard enough? Is the surface rigid or soft? When exactly does contact begin and end? Vision doesn't know. Tactile does. We built @OpenGraph_Labs to capture what cameras miss. Egocentric RGB × 5-finger multi-taxel tactile gloves. Frame-synced. Calibrated. In-the-wild. No lab setups. No scripted pick-and-place. Just humans doing real tasks in real stores. Watch the exact moment contact happens. The pressure map lights up in sync. Every touch. Every frame. 👇

Holy…🤯 One person controlling a whole fleet of robotic hands. @HexaCercle demonstrated a system where an operator simply moves their own arms, and the motion is replicated 1:1 across multiple robotic hands in real time. The specs are wild: • 0.001° motion capture precision • ~3 ms transmission latency • 25 sensor nodes • 30 m wireless range, 8-hour battery • 3-minute quick setup But the real implication is bigger: One skilled worker can teach a whole group of robots at once. From assembly and warehouse picking to hazardous operations,human skills can now be scaled across many robots/humanoids simultaneously.

Today we're starting to test an early version of our V8 model with our community. It's much better at following prompts, 5x faster, has native 2K modes, improved text rendering and the best personalization, sref, and moodboard performance ever. Have fun! https://t.co/bc54Iod3nv

(1/N) We're launching Dreamverse. Most AI video models take minutes to generate a 5 s 1080p clip. In 4.5 seconds, we can generate 30 s 1080p clips on a single GPU. Our videos generate faster than you can watch them: stop waiting on prompts and start directing scenes live. 🕹️Demo: https://t.co/Os8KAxJCld 📑 Blog: https://t.co/ZJxhWmwZpV Welcome to the era of vibe-directing 👇

@lennysan I just had it do an investigation too! Haha "RAG is dead" for Lenny's MCP, but it's fine b/c the LLM is doing query re-writing for you on the front end. I would suspect you might get some boost by encouraging query re-writing more explicitly in the description for the `search_content` tool

KASPAROV: "Everything Trump did as President benefited Putin. He criticized everybody, from John McCain to foreign leaders, but never said anything negative about Putin. That’s the only person on the planet Trump never criticized. His actions always help Putin. I’ve said many times on X: Donald Trump was the only one who could save Putin, and that’s exactly what’s happening now."
