The Open Source AI Summit has officially wrapped!

We'll publish talks over the next week or so, covering the full breadth of the open source/weight AI movement, from engineering to policy and philosophy.

In the meantime, here is @moneyball's fireside chat with @DavidSacks

I infiltrated a stealth SF startup’s @buzzdotxyz to review their secret launch plan.

Since Buzz is built on plugins, they were planning it with their agents in a custom-built Docs plugin.

Their launch plan still needs work, but their Buzz plugin creativity is promising.

“A paper whose authors can’t explain its claims leaves no one to consult if those claims fail.”

New guest essay from @JessicaHullman on why science needs people who can answer for results and challenge them, even once AI can verify them.

and why?
as ever, to build the world you want to see
