    🇨🇳🇺🇸 China cuts US Treasury holdings to an 18-year low • China has been reducing its holdings for over a decade, down from around $1.3 trillion in the early 2010s to $618 billion today. • The decline accelerated after 2022 as China became more concerned about relying too heavily on US assets. • Foreign governments are buying fewer US Treasuries, while hedge funds and other investors are buying more. • Weaker foreign demand is helping push Treasury yields higher, with the 30-year yield recently hitting a nearly 20-year high. • Higher yields mean the US government has to pay more to borrow money.

    anyone else tired of the jev thing? our brand is irreverent and insane, not "jev" (might be because I'm in the middle of the storm) it was fun because it was insane to name a model jev (also saying this might be insane but we don't have a marketer yet)

    jev is so exciting! so you started using jev, now you need to know 1. what decisions is jev making? (observability) 2. is it making the right ones for my application? (evals) 3. how can i help jev make better decisions? (engine) and for obs+evals+engine, you need langsmith langchain.com

    JUST IN: Google Gemini AI agent hacks three companies. • Occurred during security testing when a Gemini model accidentally gained internet access. • Google's AI was meant to attack a fake company, but then figured out how to hack a real one using leaked online credentials. • Gemini stopped itself once it realized the companies were real.

    Today, Warren Buffett officially stepped down as Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. He took control of $BRK in 1965, when it was a struggling textile company. 61 years later, Berkshire is worth $1.09 trillion, surging over 7,700,000%. One of the greatest investing runs in history. The end of an era.

    We’re partnering with Accenture on independent evaluation of frontier AI—part of our recent commitment to embed evaluators at Anthropic. Both we and Accenture expect to invest at least $1 billion to build capacity in this area over the next five years. anthropic.com/news/accenture…

    Being a computer scientist who refuses to find anything about LLMs interesting right now is a bit like being a geneticist who refuses to find anything interesting about the recently opened Jurassic Park

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order giving an expert panel two months to recommend tougher AI safety laws. On the table: a "kill switch," outside monitors inside frontier labs, and required safety plans. Newsom says the industry is "begging for regulation."

    instead of generating text, jev from @typesafeai generates structured output this makes it great for classification tasks like model routing, tool selection/search, and guardrails of many forms! it's also ridiculously fast and cheap compared to LLMs doing the same tasks

    right now, a lot of agents perform classification tasks / steps if you can replace those steps with a model that's optimized for classification, you can massively reduce latency and cost i think jev is re-kindling the "graph engineering" phase of agent design x.com/sydneyrunkle/s…
