OpenAI claims Gold-medal performance at IMO 2025

With regard to AI & LLMs Twitter/x is actually the only place with all of the industry people discussing.

There are a bunch of great accounts to follow that are only really posting content to x.

Karpathy, nearcyan, kalomaze, all of the OpenAI researchers including the link this discussion is on, many anthropic researchers. It's such a meme that you see people discuss reading Twitter thread + paper because the thread gives useful additional context.

Hn still has great comment sections on maker style posts, on network stuff, but I no longer enjoy the discussions wrt AI here. It's too hyperbolic.

Too hyperbolic for, against, or either way?

It honestly depends on the headline.

I think hn probably has a disproportionate number of haters while Twitter has a disproportionate number of blind believers / hype types.

But both have both.

Not sure how this compares to YouTube (although my guess is the thumbnails + titles are most egregious there for algorithm reasons)

I see the same effect regarding macroeconomic discussions. Great content on X that is head and shoulders (says me) above discussions on other platforms.

Yup! People here are great hackers but it’s almost like they have their head up their own ass when it comes to AI/ML.

Most of HN was very wrong about LLMs.

I'm unconvinced Twitter is a very good medium for serious technical discussion. I imagine a lot of this happens on the sidelines at conferences, on mailing threads and actually in organisations doing work on AI (e.g. Universities, Anthropic). The people who are doing the work are also often not the people who have time to Twitter.

Have you published in ML conferences? I'm curious because I have ML researcher friends who have and they talk about Twitter a lot but I'm not an ML researcher myself.
