This was a historic week for AI policy. President Trump gave his first major speech on AI, the White House released its AI Action Plan, and President Trump signed three important executive orders. If you missed it, here is a recap of the major themes and actions. 🧵

Got to talk to @EdLudlow on President Trump’s AI action plan. And even got a little bit of pro wrestling in at the end.

Like any kid growing up in the 90s, Hulk Hogan was my hero. It’s hard to count the number of amazing memories we all have : from slamming Andre ( before my time but iconic and arguably made WrestleMania what it is ) to being the third man for nWO to having all of Toronto cheer for him and boo The Rock to many more. Pro wrestling wouldn’t be what it is today without the Hulkster. I got to meet him one time about a decade ago and though he must have heard it a million times, he said he loved my version of “Whatchoo gonna do brother…” and made my day. More than anything, he represented a heroic ideal of America, one that transcended beyond saying your prayers and eating your vitamins.

This is what I voted for: 5 Cabinet Secretaries plus the VP and President just showed up for a conference on Winning AI.

🇺🇸 Today is a day we have been working towards for six months. We are announcing America’s AI action plan putting us on the road to continued AI dominance. The three core themes: - Accelerate AI innovation - Build American AI infrastructure - Lead in international AI diplomacy and security. It’s a long document (!) and I highly encourage you read it. There is a lot of exciting actions in here but one I’m very partial to is the focus on open source and open weights and making sure the U.S. leads in this critical area. This represents the work of many many people but I want to particularly highlight @DavidSacks @mkratsios47 and the person who has spent the most time and sweat and effort on this : @deanwball Personally, this is an effort I’ve been incredibly proud to have been a part of and why I signed up for this job. I’m confident this and the other announcements today put us on the road to AI dominance as called for by President Trump.

Tomorrow should be a huge day for American AI. 🇺🇸

it's key for the US to win on open weights/open source models. It's very clear there is a distinct need for this.

The race for LLM "cognitive core" - a few billion param model that maximally sacrifices encyclopedic knowledge for capability. It lives always-on and by default on every computer as the kernel of LLM personal computing. Its features are slowly crystalizing: - Natively multimodal text/vision/audio at both input and output. - Matryoshka-style architecture allowing a dial of capability up and down at test time. - Reasoning, also with a dial. (system 2) - Aggressively tool-using. - On-device finetuning LoRA slots for test-time training, personalization and customization. - Delegates and double checks just the right parts with the oracles in the cloud if internet is available. It doesn't know that William the Conqueror's reign ended in September 9 1087, but it vaguely recognizes the name and can look up the date. It can't recite the SHA-256 of empty string as e3b0c442..., but it can calculate it quickly should you really want it. What LLM personal computing lacks in broad world knowledge and top tier problem-solving capability it will make up in super low interaction latency (especially as multimodal matures), direct / private access to data and state, offline continuity, sovereignty ("not your weights not your brain"). i.e. many of the same reasons we like, use and buy personal computers instead of having thin clients access a cloud via remote desktop or so.

President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill isn’t just vital for our economy, it is non-negotiable for our national security. By creating a single national standard for AI, the bill ends the chaos of 50 different state laws and makes sure American companies can develop cutting-edge tech for our military, infrastructure, and critical industries--without interference from anti-innovation politicians. This is required to stay ahead of our adversaries and keep America at the forefront of AI.
