Breakthrough in quantization: 27B parameter model compressed to ternary (1.58 bits) with only 5% accuracy drop, enabling frontier-class intelligence on consumer devices without internet. This opens path to sub-1-bit quantization and photonic computing substrates.
Jeff Dean left Google after 27 years to co-found Discovery Loop, a public benefit corporation focused on recursive AI self-improvement, immediately backed by Vinod Khosla with ~$500M.
Part of the new inference provider layer raising capital to optimize open-source models on Western hardware, capturing the margin between Chinese model innovation and US compute advantage.
