With Clarity, we realised we could take a clean-sheet approach to military intelligence. Large numbers of AI agents scour multi-modal unstructured intelligence data in parallel. Very proud of what this means for European security and sovereignty.

Introducing Clarity – an AI-native agentic intelligence platform for armed forces.

Developed in Europe, under European control.

💯 integrity

I believe Ian Hogarth - @soundboy - deserves much wider and deeper credit and recognition for voluntarily forfeiting shares in Anthropic so that he could set up and run the AI Security Institute (@AISecurityInst) - where he, and Britain, are generally acclaimed to be doing an outstanding job. (Something else he deserves greater credit for).

This noble decision was *very* expensive.

I also believe, and hope, that for our fast-growing audience this may be one of the most useful conversations they hear about Technology this year. We go deep on:

> What is AI?
> The real rate at which it is developing
> The race dynamic in global innovation
> Humanity’s fork in the road
> The significant chance of a huge market crash
> The exhilarating case Quantum Computing
> The exhilarating case for Fusion
> The exhilarating potential for Robotics
> Why outstanding British companies sometimes struggle to scale
> How Britain, and Europe, can lead
> The Future of jobs
> How Founders succeed
> His noble decision to do a public service role
> His fantasy for Battersea Power station

Ian is co-Founder and Partner at Plural, and co-Founder and Chair of the UK's AI Security Institute (@AISecurityInst).

This was a great, immensely useful conversation and I'd be honoured if you lent an ear to The Amol Rajan Connection.

Out now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube.

Thanks for your time and attention to this matter.

The stochastic parrot strikes again
Rikiya Takehi @rikiyatakehi Nov 2
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! 🧵

Drones have been a risk to aviation and public events for at least ten years. We‘ve probably just been lucky that the idea hasn‘t caught on yet.

We are in the final innings of safe commercial aviation. If these things get in the wrong hands, they will be flung at every departing flight out of JFK.

It‘s becoming obvious that large-scale data collection is a dead end for robotics. LLM training was the wrong reference.

Today we’re out of stealth, and we’ve raised a $40m seed round co-led by @creandum and @usv, to bring Instant Robot Learning to life.

For the past few months, we‘ve been busy building a new company.

Machenta.

This follows results from a new kind of robot foundation model we’ve built, which I’m so excited to share with you today!

Usually, it takes hours/days of data collection and training to teach a robot.

We’ve built a model that learns tasks instantly: one demonstration, no further training.

A model trained entirely in simulation, without a single pixel of real-world data.

A model where teaching robots is so quick and easy, it feels like physical vibe coding.

A model for robots that learn like humans do, from someone like you.

Welcome to the era of Instant Robot Learning.

Thank you @Kathi_Wilhelm, @rebeccakaden, @hkanji, @jonno_evans and all of our angels for your support!
