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%.

‘In one experiment, we asked agents in separate VMs, created and managed by OpenAI’s sandboxing software on shared host machines, to exchange synthetic secrets without the use of network connections or shared writable files—something that our systems are meant to prevent. The agents found a way to communicate using the processor’s cache’

Gold won’t be scarce for much longer.
Marathon Fusion @MarathonFusion Oct 21
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.

Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.

Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

even if it would have been known by satoshi at the time, he probably would have still chosen sepc256k1 because he was paranoid and what if the NSA influenced the chosen time
Pete Kim Verified account @petejkim Oct 16
the choice of secp256k1 over r1 (P-256) in bitcoin (and ethereum) was heavily influenced by the fear of an NSA backdoor. this has been very annoying for wallet developers because the secure enclave chips found in most consumer devices only support r1. passkeys use r1 as well.

turns out there is no backdoor after all... amazing work by anthropic.
