X post: "The most difficult—and most promising—path is Self-Evolution."

- He presents the Claude part as a suspicion. Only the cluster is called rumored; what it is for is his own guess: "Claude’s rumored 2-million-chip cluster for next year is likely dedicated to exactly this: autonomous model self-training."
