Gemini 3 was just released! There was a lot of hype and rumors but I was not expecting Google to 2x the previous best score on ARC-AGI 2 (historically one of the toughest benchmarks out there)

Here's a bit more context on why this is a big deal:

ARC-AGI-2 is designed to stress test the efficiency and capability of AI reasoning systems, and provide useful signal towards AGI.

Pure LLMs score 0%

AI reasoning systems score only single-digit percentages (until recently)

Google's Gemini 3 just scored 45%, more than doubling the previous best of ~18% (from OpenAI's Pro model)

For all the "LLMs are plateauing" "New models aren't getting better", feels like progress is only accelerating.

Wow Google is on FIRE this week. They just released a major update to NotebookLM and the new slide functionality is incredible!

Turn your sources into a detailed deck for reading OR a set of presentation-ready slides. These are fully customizable too so you can easily control the look, feel and content.

Check out this presentation it made from one of my sources. 

It took two minutes and for educational purposes I'm posting the version it created with zero edits.

What do you think? Does it look like slop or is AI finally getting good enough to handle building out decks?

Will ChatGPT be the new App Store? 

With its over 800 million weekly active users it's a very real threat to existing platforms

Combined with the crazy retention graphs I've seen, and the fact that it is increasingly becoming the "first step" users take when trying to solve a problem 

Building for ChatGPT could be the next big opportunity.  

I tried out their Apps SDK, it feels clunky 
and the current capabilities feel limited 
but there is lots of potential in building for what it COULD BE in the future.

Here is a quick demo of what I was able to build in an evening, it's a financial advisor app that connects to Plaid so it can give you personalized and real-time guidance.

Starting to wonder what interviews will look like in 12 months.

New Google research paper just dropped (it's a fun one)

"Introducing Nested Learning: A new ML paradigm for continual learning"

Another attempt to apply neurophysiological patterns to LLMs 

Their big argument: 
1. Human memory = two systems (short and long term)

2. There is an active process in the brain that transfers/consolidates short term memory to long term

3. Anterograde amnesia = consolidation process is broken (no change in long term memory)

4. Current LLMs have anterograde amnesia, they only have short term memory (attention) 

5. Long term memory is locked in pre-training 

6. Nested learning uses a series of nested "modules" that operate on different time scales and context, essentially enabling the consolidation of short term memory to long term memory (learning)

OpenAI just dropped a 20 page guide on "Building an AI-native
engineering team". 

It's worth reading the full thing, but I've also been really loving using the new Google image model to create visual summaries of articles to keep for future reference.

Here's an example output based on the full 20 page guide:

Zero In

The mission of Zero In is to help as many businesses and leaders build a brand customers love and a company people are passionate to work for.  

So where do you need to focus (or Zero In)?
Solve the problem of INDIFFERENCE!

Indifferent customers have no compelling reason to purchase your product or service rather than your competitors' product or service. 

Indifferent employees are complacent because they are not passionate about coming to work each day.

Utilize the resources, books, and courses from Zero In to increase your customer retention, improve your customer experience, and build a passionate culture of innovation giving your team the ability to find new and better ways to serve your customers.

"Customers DO NOT buy your product or service, they buy what it can DO FOR THEM"
Customer-centricity means knowing your customers and giving them what they crave.  This helps you to build trust and loyalty, but also a solid reputation.  Loyal customers become fans of your brand and refer other customers to you.

"If you don't find new and better ways to serve your customers, SOMEONE ELSE WILL!"
Being Innovative brings new ideas, which is crucial to a business being able to find new and better ways to add value for your customers.  With innovation comes creative new products and services, increases in efficiency and, as a result, improved profitability.

BE THE BRAND CUSTOMERS LOVE AND THE COMPANY PEOPLE ARE PASSIONATE TO WORK FOR
