๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿค– Ah yes, the US is "winning" the AI raceโ€”because nothing screams victory like turning AI into a glorified sales pitch! Meanwhile, the article casually name-drops #Trump and #Ellison as if they're the Avengers of tech ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Forget #innovation, it's all about who can sell more AI buzzwords! ๐Ÿค‘๐ŸŽ‰

The US Is Winning the AI Race

Energy matters for AI, but the decisive layers are cloud infrastructure, data, and commercialization. On those layers the United States is ahead by a wide margin.

BTW - we have had questions about why the email templates are short in length - typically around 250 words. It's a corporate sales tactic to create meaningful and succinct messages that the recipient can read easily on the phone with no scrolling. The majority of emails are read on a cell phone and long messages will typically be abandoned if the reader is in a rush. You'll get more attention by hooking them in a series of short messages versus a mini-novel.

LFM2-24B-A2B: Scaling Up the LFM2 Architecture | Liquid AI

Today, we release an early checkpoint of LFM2-24B-A2B, our largest LFM2 model. This sparse Mixture of Experts (MoE) model has 24 billion total parameters with 2 billion active per token, showing that the LFM2 architecture scales effectively to larger sizes.

๐Ÿš€ Oh joy, yet another article claiming to solve all your context window woes with a sprinkle of MCP magic. Spoiler alert: it's just another sales pitch for an API buffet you've never heard of. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Grab your #popcorn, because apparently, even your context needs a simpler way. ๐ŸŽฌ๐Ÿ™„

Your MCP Server Is Eating Your Context Window. There's a Simpler Way

TL;DR: MCP tool definitions can burn 55,000+ tokens before an agent processes a single user message. We built the Apideck CLI as an AI-agent interface instead:an ~80-token agent prompt replaces tens of thousands of tokens of schema, with progressive disclosure via `--help` and structural safety baked into the binary. Any agent that can run shell commands can use it. No protocol support required.

However, I can't help but feel sceptical about the article posted. It sounds too much like a #salesPitch. I'm especially bothered by point 4 โ€ #cloudFirst. #CloudServices have plenty of sensible #useCases. However, for many businesses, the number drops radically once #BusinessObjectives are considered. #DataStorage is often best done #onprem, in many cases, purely from a financial perspective [1]. Google seems to hint at this approach introducing security issues. /2
