First Principles and the Colossus Sprint
OpenAI's old edge was scale and talent. Then Colossus hit, built in record speed — nothing like an AI boom to make CEOs personally oversee the plumbing.
Attacking problems from first principles is powerful— @OpenAI’s old edge? Scale and talent. Then Colossus hit, built in record speed, with @nvidia prioritizing @xai’s orders and fancy networking demands. x.com
@MichaelDell and @charlesliang racing to juice up @xai with liquid-cooled racks in record time. Nothing like an AI boom to make CEOs personally oversee the plumbing. Just don’t ask about the margins—or the water bill. x.com
But really, the rest of the secret sauce is the brain trust: @ibab, @makro_ai, @Yuhu_ai_, @ChrSzegedy, @jimmybajimmyba, @TobyPhln, @rpoo, @TheGregYang, @Guodzh, and more, all with a nudge from @Tesla_AI. That’s how you cook up self-improving magic. x.com
