JEFF BEZOS NEARS $10 BILLION FUNDING FOR AI LAB, FT SAYS

Jeff Bezos' AI startup, which is aiming to develop models with the capability of understanding the physical world, is close to finalizing a $10 billion funding round. The company, code-named Project Prometheus, will use AI to accelerate engineering and manufacturing in fields like aerospace and automobiles. It was set up with an initial $6.2 billion in funding, sourced in part by Bezos himself. The new funding round, which is expected to close soon but has not been finalized, will include JPMorgan and BlackRock as investors.

CHRONICLE – CODEX

Chronicle, available for ChatGPT Pro users on macOS, augments Codex by using screen context for memory building, helping Codex understand ongoing work with less context restatement. It stores unencrypted markdown memories on your device and requires macOS Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions. Be aware of prompt injection risks from screen content, and pause Chronicle during sensitive work to prevent unwanted context capture.

IMPROVING TRAINING EFFICIENCY WITH EFFECTIVE TRAINING TIME

Meta introduced Effective Training Time (ETT%) to measure how much end-to-end training runtime is spent on actual learning, highlighting overhead like checkpointing and failures. This post outlines system and PyTorch-level optimizations that reduce wasted time and improve large-scale training efficiency.

EVEN 'UNCENSORED' MODELS CAN'T SAY WHAT THEY WANT

Even uncensored models quietly nudge language away from the words that sentences actually want. There is no refusal or warning - the probability just moves in some instances. This is a mechanism that can be used to shape what billions of users read without them noticing.

GOOGLE ADDS SUBAGENTS TO GEMINI CLI TO HANDLE PARALLEL CODING TASKS

Google's Gemini CLI now includes subagents to split coding tasks, enhancing parallel execution by delegating specific roles like frontend updates or testing. This enables multiple tasks to process simultaneously without interference, optimizing workflows for developers. Gemini's setup contrasts with systems like Claude Code, which extends agent coordination across multiple sessions.
