imjustnewatai · x · 2026-08-25
Conflicting rumors about a mystery AI model launch circulated on X this weekend. Martin Casado (a16z) hinted at the year's most significant model drop, confirmed by Siqi Chen, while Andrew Curran attributed recent vague posts to a startup's early-access model. Evidence points to Safe Superintelligence (SSI): Gavin Baker previously noted an August launch plan for SSI, and NVIDIA recently announced "rare access" to their research and a major compute expansion, quoting Ilya Sutskever on its scalability.
