We sat down with ⁨@3blue1brown to discuss our research vision of "Attention over all the world's information." Plus why knowledge should not live in model weights, the compression trick behind cheaper retrieval, and why we hire through work trials. 1:20 – What is “attention over everything”? 4:46 – A knowledge graph of the whole web 11:32 – How do you evaluate search for AI agents? 15:13 – Why not put everything in the weights? 22:55 – Why Exa hires through work trials 25:15 – The compression trick behind cheaper retrieval 27:40 – Dealing with misinformation

Thank you to everyone coming out to attend the Stanford Future of Mathematics Symposium, along with those watching the livestream! The event was announced at the last minute two weeks ago, yet we received over one thousand registrants, and three thousand viewed the talks on YouTube. The Symposium was absolutely buzzing with excitement. To our excellent group of speakers and panelists, you made it a truly remarkable event. These discussions are of vital importance to the mathematical community. Finally, thank you to the staff and donations that made it all possible.

Some exciting news - recently had the pleasure of being featured as a guest creator on @3blue1brown! The video is about AlphaGeometry, the 2024 DeepMind model that solved IMO geometry problems at a silver medal level. HUGE thanks to Grant for the guest feature🥹Check it out below:

Marden theorem states that the roots of P'' are the focal point of the Steiner ellipse (largest enclosed ellipse in area) of the triangle formed by the roots of P. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marden…

If you just joined the generating function fan club because of Grant's video: Welcome! And, Herb Wilf has kindly made a PDF of his lovely text, generatingfunctionology, freely available on his web site: www2.math.upenn.edu/~wilf/Do…

May I invite you to a fun thread about a delightful quirk of relativity theory? Starting with a simple fact about rotations, I’ll hope to give you some intuition about something that’s considered wildly counterintuitive: velocity addition. Intrigued? Buckle up!

[1/2] A recent fun video by @3blue1brown showed how easy it is to find the average area (over all orientations) of the shadow of a convex solid due to an infinitely distant light source. So, I wondered whether any case with a light source at a finite distance is exactly soluble.

Why does translating a circle feel so ~wrong~? Because you aren't actually translating the circle. You're translating the grid UNDER the circle. Once you realize that, it all makes sense. (Music: bensound.com)

I've been listening to @3blue1brown's podcast lately, and there's one common factor in every answer to the "what made you choose math" question. It goes something like this: "There was this teacher..."
