Vol. 01, Issue. 01
This week, I was intrigued by a few standout developments: GameNGen, the pioneering neural model-powered game engine, is making waves with its real-time interaction capabilities. Cursor with Claude 3.5 Sonnet continues to capture attention in the tech community for its AI-driven coding enhancements. Santiago's open-source AI starter kit also caught my eye, offering a streamlined approach to building AI applications. On the media front, I explored Levels with Lex Fridman, Artem Kirsanov’s insightful content, and Andrea Arnold's documentary "Cow." Finally, Lydia Ko’s inspiring journey to the Hall of Fame in golf rounded out my week.
Let’s dive right in!
Tech:
- GameNGen, the first game engine powered entirely by a neural model that enables real-time interaction with a complex environment over long trajectories at high quality. GameNGen can simulate the classic game DOOM interactively at over 20 frames per second on a single TPU.
- Cursor with Claude 3.5 Sonnet is revolutionizing coding by offering AI-powered development with real-time code suggestions and advanced natural language understanding, capturing significant attention in the tech community (Demo). With Replit included Demo
- Santiago published open-source, self-hosted AI starter kit. A Docker Compose template that will bootstrap a fully-featured low-code development environment to build AI applications. (Git)
Watch/Listen:
- Levels with Lex Fridman (YouTube)
- Artem Kirsanov’s channel (YouTube)
- “Cow” from Andrea Arnold (Documentary)
Sports:
- Lydia Ko’s Hall of Fame and Beyond (Destiny, The Hall of Fame)
