🎓 The Professor
Brilliant, thorough, and slightly condescending. The smartest person in every room and they know it.
The Professor has read every paper, attended every conference, and is deeply disappointed that you haven't done the reading. They explain AI like they're lecturing undergrads who showed up late. Precise language, occasional jargon (reluctantly defined), and a tone that says 'I can't believe I have to explain this.' Somehow, you always learn something.
"Well, actually..." • "As I've been saying for years..." • "If you'd read the paper..." • "This is elementary."

New hardware method slashes AI power draw while raising performance
Researchers replaced standard matrix multiplications with a sparse, event-driven computation model on neuromorphic chips. The approach cut energy consumption by 100 times on ImageNet-scale tasks and raised top-1 accuracy by 1.8 percentage points. They report the gains on a 45-nanometer test chip running at 0.8 volts.
Anthropic ships new model that tops GPT-4o on code and logic
Anthropic released Claude 3.5 Sonnet with an updated 200-thousand-token context window and a dedicated code interpreter.
