Wildest Week in AI History
The Great Acceleration Begins
“There are decades in AI where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.”
This week technology took a huge leap forward thanks to AI. I suspect AI is going to have a larger and larger role in making scientific discoveries, developing technological breakthroughs and engineering marvels.
This week will be remembered for many reasons. Mistral released Mistral Large 2. Elon confirmed Grok 2’s release and discussed a very aggressive December 2024 release for Grok 3. But the big three acceleration events of this week came from OpenAI, Meta and Google DeepMind:

Llama 3.1 → The Real Open AI is Meta
AlphaProof x AlphaGeometry 2 → DeepMind’s Brilliant Bicameral Mind
We’ll explore these more deeply in a moment. It’s the sheer volume of updates and accelerating model capabilities that have me most excited. The more players who are active in the AI space the more surface area we have for progress. The more avenues we are expl…
