Revolutionizing AI: Custom ASICs and FPGAs Deliver 5x Faster Calculations with 10x Less Energy
Custom ASICs and FPGAs can optimize calculations such as data compression, inference or encryption tasks, theoretically 5x faster with 10x less energy, which is a breakthrough.
We'd love to fund LLM-based systems to build these, and with OpenAI O1 it's an ideal time to do it

Rethinking AI Evaluation: Why Test-Time Learning Could Be the Key to SOTA Performance
Why do we treat train and test times so differently?
Why is one “training” and the other “in-context learning”?
Just take a few gradients during test-time — a simple way to increase test time compute — and get a SoTA in ARC public validation set 61%=avg. human score! @arcprize

🧰 AI How-To
How To Create AI National Animal Shorts
Choose National Animals
Use ChatGPT to list national animals by country (e.g., bald eagle for the U.S., lion for the U.K.). Select a few animals for your video theme.Generate Animal Bodybuilder Images
Ask ChatGPT for image prompts (e.g., “Create an epic bodybuilder with a lion head, wearing trousers”) and specify the prompt should be in text only. Copy the prompt.Create Images in Leonardo AI
Go to Leonardo AI and paste the prompt. Set the aspect ratio to 9:16 (vertical) for shorts. Generate and download the images.Animate Images
Use Hello AI to animate each animal image. Upload the images, add a movement prompt if desired (e.g., “muscular creature breathing heavily”), and generate videos for each.Edit in CapCut
Open CapCut and upload the animated videos. Enlarge each video to hide any watermarks, and add “Pull-In” transition effects between clips for a smooth flow.Add Country Text and Flags
Use the text tool to add the country name for each animal. Adjust the font, style, and add the country’s flag as an emoji beside the text.Include Background Music
Download background music from YouTube’s Audio Library or convert audio from a sample short using an MP3 converter. Add it to CapCut, syncing it with the video duration.Final Touches
Consider adding filters for color depth and effects like thunder to enhance visuals. Optionally, include a watermark for branding.Export and Publish
Export your video in 4K, ready to upload and go viral as an AI national animal short!
