Can we build an operating system entirely powered by neural networks? Introducing NeuralOS: towards a generative OS that directly predicts screen images from user inputs. Try it live: neural-os.com Paper: huggingface.co/papers/2507.08… Inspired by @karpathy's vision. 1/5
"Chatting" with LLM feels like using an 80s computer terminal. The GUI hasn't been invented, yet but imo some properties of it can start to be predicted. 1 it will be visual (like GUIs of the past) because vision (pictures, charts, animations, not so much reading) is the 10-lane…
I spent a while with Grok 4 trying to process what is truly leading performance, unlocking some new things AI hasn't done before, but with it a chronic (and increasing) set of system failures that make me question where the xAI project is heading. In this post: * Performance…
