Thanks everyone for all the nice feedback on Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch) so far! I am also flattered that 2 book clubs are discussing it. I look forward to join for live Q&As on Thu, Sep 3, at 10 am (and 2 pm CT). Please join us & bring your questions!

A couple of days ago, I did a quick explainer on Claude’s new watermarking process and implementation. Since it’s such a popular topic and sparked such a lively discussion, I thought it might be interesting to go into a bit more detail when explaining how it works. So, instead of the usual text article, I recorded a little lecture on the topic (to change it up a bit from my usual articles). It ended up a bit longer than intended, but I hope it clarifies a lot of things: - Sampling the next token in an LLM and pseudorandom number generators - How watermarking relates to the regular LLM sampling process - Whether watermarking makes text "worse" - How to remove watermarks - Tournament sampling - How new text is checked for watermarks without rerunning the LLM I ended up with ~50 slides, but I hope that these explain it well, though! Happy watching!

We can finally talk about it: We found a way to extract hidden reasoning of frontier models using a vulnerability in the APIs of every frontier AI company. We verified that our reasoning token count matches billed API thinking tokens 1:1 for most of the prompts we queried.

AI Book Club's August read is "Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch)"! We read the authors last book "Building an LLM from scratch" and it was the biggest turn out 800+ people tuned in for the discussion. And I think it's been everyone favorite read the past couple years. So we're back with the newest book by Sebastian Raschka! I'm trying something again on here where we create a sub thread 🧵 for chapters and this can be a point of discussion before the live stream date (Aug 25th 1:00pm PT).

Razor wire fence and tear gas. This is the reality for the children in Umm al-Kheir, West Bank.

I’m nearly 50. I don’t use TikTok. I listen to NPR Morning Edition and read the Financial Times daily. I’m a lawyer who has worked on Israel-Palestine issues for the last 20 years. The evidence I’ve seen that Israel committed atrocities including genocide in Gaza is overwhelming.

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine. She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

السيد @nattyray11 يقدم افادات لم تذكر من قبل: قدمنا للحكومة الأمريكية صور دقيقة جدا لما حدث من مجازر في #الجنينة، وحذرنا منذ العام ٢٠٢٣ ان #الامارات و #الجنجويد يسعيان لتطبيق نفس السيناريو في #الفاشر، لكن المجتمع الدولي لم يلتفت إلى تحذيراتنا. وثقنا مجازر #الفاشر ولدينا الأدلة.

The UAE rarely exercises effective control over its surrogates in Libya, Yemen and Sudan while pumping military aid without conditionalities Abu Dhabi's strategic culture is also about doubling down rather than backing down when facing resistance #AlFashir tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Darfur's El Fasher has “descended into an even darker hell,” senior UN officials warned, as the United Arab Emirates-armed Rapid Support Forces militia seized control, forcing tens of thousands to flee amid reports of mass executions, rape and starvation. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…

Very insightful and eye-opening piece by Bashir Mohammed @bashir_caato Somalia has turned into a gangster’s playground. A senior manager at Bosaso’s port revealed for the first time to MEE that, for the past two years, the United Arab Emirates has funnelled over 500,000 containers marked as hazardous through Bosaso. Unlike standard cargo, which is documented with a letter of origin and destination, these Emirati shipments have no description of their contents. The port manager said that the logistics operations are shrouded in secrecy: upon arrival, the containers are swiftly transferred to the airport and loaded onto standby aircraft. Security for these shipments is exceptionally tight, MEE’s sources in Bosaso said. When a ship docks, PMPF forces are deployed to cordon off the port and prevent filming. Only personnel on duty are granted access, and they are explicitly warned against recording anything during the offloading and transit process. middleeasteye.net/news/inside-ua…

الشعور تجاه السودان يجب أن يكون شعور الواجب والنصرة وليس شعور التعاطف السلبي والشفقة، هذا شعب كريم ومثقف ومعطاء وجزء أصيل من الأمة العربية والإسلامية ويجب أن تكون قضيته، وكارثة غزة، على رأس الأولويات، الظلم ظلمات، والالتزام الأخلاقي المبدئي يجب أن يكون حاضرا تجاه كل مظلوم في هذا العالم، والأخ القريب والجار القريب على وجه الخصوص، أهم درس يجب أن تعلمنا إياه تجربة غزة القاسية جدا وتجربة السودان الحالية، أن الحدود الوطنية مكبّلة لكوامن القوة، وأن الأممية حاجة ماسة وعاجلة، وأن إسرائيل تكبر بالدكتاتوريات وتنمو بالأنظمة القمعية الشمولية وتزدهر بالتقسيم وحروبنا الداخلية…!

UAE military supply flights to the RSF militia (via Benghazi & Kufra in Libya & Bosaso & Berbera airports in Somalia) continues at a rapid pace. 3 x Il-76TD observed this morning (EX-76003, EX-76012 & 7Q-ASY)

Another look on how the UAE supply the RSF Militia, using charter Il-76 cargo planes registered abroad. Two planes here, one makes flights between Somalia & Libya, the other between UAE & Somalia. This has been going on for years, the difference beeing that instead of Chad,

My take on the UAE-backed slaughter now unfolding in Sudan, and the refusal of the US and others to call out the UAE for its role. This was preventable, but neither Biden nor Trump cared enough to try: nytimes.com/2025/10/30/opi… Thank God some members of Congress are speaking up.

🚨US intelligence agencies confirm that UAE has redoubled its weapons supply to the RSF this year. From me: “The war would be over if not for the UAE. The only thing keeping RSF in this war is the overwhelming military support they’re getting from the UAE."wsj.com/world/how-u-a-…
