I'm Jared and this is Changelog News for the week of Monday, January 27, 2024.
On one hand, there's the Stargate project, a joint venture by OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle and friends that's aimed at investing $500 billion over four years to build out infrast that will, quote, secure American leadership in AI.
On the other hand, there's Deep Seq R1, a Chinese AI Labs MIT licensed reasoning model that gives OpenAI's 01 a run for its money and only cost $5.6 million to train.
It's big money versus big brain.
I'm jealous of both.
Okay, let's get into this week's news.
DeepSeek R1's epic pull requ Speaking of Big Brain, Zon Son Win opened a pull request to Georgi Gerganov's Llama CPP repo that doubles the speed of WASM by optimizing SIMD instructions with the following PR comment quote surprisingly, 99% of the code in this PR is written by DeepSeek R1.
The only thing I do is to develop tests and write prompts with some trials and errors.
Indeed, this PR aims to prove that LLMs are now capable of writing good low level code to a point that it can optimize its own code.
End quote.
I can't judge whether this is good low level code or not because I don't know what good low level code looks like, but Gyorgi and Zahnsun sure are impressed.
Zansun also shared the prompts they used to get the desired results.
This of course resulted in a long X thread where both humans and robots debate and meme with whether or not it's over for folks like us or not quite yet.

End quote this looks like it was a massive undertaking.
It has a new high performance build engine, simplified installation, automatic content detection, reimagined CSS first config, and too much more to list here.
The Most Influential Papers in Computer Science History Matthias Lima opens up the history books to create this admittedly subjective list of influential papers dating all the way back to 1936.
Quote these seven papers, sorted by date stand out to me mostly because of their impact in today's world.
