Today Physical Superintelligence PBC is announcing a proof of the Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture, one of the central open problems in quantum complexity, with major implications for quantum computing speedup.View quoted post on X

This weekend’s reading
18 of the 20 best open models today are Mixture-of-Experts. Dense is basically over.
And yet the know-how to train a good MoE still lives mostly in the heads of a handful of teams.
So we spent 800k GPU hours running the experiments ourselves and wrote everything down. Super happy to finally release "The Ultimate MoE Training Handbook", free and open, organized around the questions training teams hit:
- how many experts, how big, shared or not?
- why is half my step spent in all-to-all, and how do I hide it?
- why is my run 25x slower with no error in the logs?
- softmax, sigmoid or sqrt(softplus) router, and why keep it in fp32?
- aux loss or DeepSeek's loss-free bias?
- upcycle a dense checkpoint or train from scratch?
- can I serve with fewer experts per token than I trained with?
⚠️ Warning: it's long (~70k words, budget a few days, sorry) but with 55 interactive figures, code you can run and numbers from our own runs.

Sooooo many ways this becomes useful
We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.
We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵

Serious WTFery
1/4
Meet Qwenputer: Qwen3.5-4B with a full RISC-V CPU inside its weights, using the model's own Gated DeltaNet layers as RAM.
It runs C and MicroPython in its forward passes, no external runtime.
On DeepMind math: base 55–90%, base + Python tool 95–100%, Qwenputer 97.5–100%.View quoted post on X
