Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

Bluesky-exclusive outreach: I'm looking to contract a technical artist with a specific passion for applying math to create mesmerizing visual effects, e.g. shaders, particle effects, or other demoscene-like displays. Please feel free to spread the word and send portfolios/examples via reply or email

Introducing Olmo Hybrid, a 7B fully open model combining transformer and linear RNN layers. It decisively outperforms Olmo 3 7B across evals, w/ new theory & scaling experiments explaining why. 🧵

Replying to @cloverteapot.bsky.social

I feel a lot of younger artists nowadays are in the path of permanent wrist damage and burnout with the amount of stuff they feel almost obligated to make in order to feel like they are still relevant and present on peoples timelines. I was like that with comms, and all I got was damage on my body.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Excited to share the latest Olmo model: Olmo Hybrid. This is a model with gated delta net (GDN) layers in a 3:1 ratio with full attention. It follows lots of other developments like Qwen 3.5 and Kimi Linear.

Don't give unsolicited advice to neurodivergent folks, it's oftentimes a big trigger of negative feelings due to a lifetime of them enduring people trying to "fix" them with misguided suggestions

If you're at #AGDQ, I have a brand new Magicore demo up and running in the practice room. It'll be here all week. I worked incredibly hard to get this demo done in time for the event, so I hope you take the time to check it out!

Everyone, including people you don't like, deserve to have enough to live a healthy life. With an abundance of resources and tools, we should be able to provide everyone AT LEAST shelter and food. Free healthcare, free housing, and free food should always be the bare minimum. Let people live.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Olmo 3.1 32B Think shows that not just frontier labs can scale RL. My favorite RL run yet over 7+ years of doing RL. The biggest fully open RL run ever? Gold stars on downstream evals is our original release, this latest one is the final checkpoint on the plot.

My favorite of the Olmo 3 paper: Transparent auditing of the cost for the v3 models (not 3.1), based of wall clock time for pre/post train, evals, cluster issues, etc, as a counter to the famous $5.576M for DeepSeek V3 at $2/H100 hour, Olmo 3 start to end would cost $2.75M allenai.org/papers/olmo3

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

Announcing Olmo 3, a leading fully open LM suite built for reasoning, chat, & tool use, and an open model flow—not just the final weights, but the entire training journey. Best fully open 32B reasoning model & best 32B base model. 🧵
