Dumbo today
Welcoming @steve3.eth to the @almanax team!
Steven was previously on the crypto team at Mastercard and built blockchain applications that touched millions of users.
Excited to have him on the team to help us build the first AI Security Engineer!

Gala night with Arête, love a good occasion to dress up.
On stage last night.
Interview coming out in 2 weeks.
Interview coming out in 2 weeks.
Today @almanax is announcing the launch of the Web3 Security Atlas, an open-source initiative designed to track vulnerabilities, exploits, and security best practices across the Web3 ecosystem.
Supported by founding partners AnChain.AI, TRM Labs, Hypernative and support from the Stellar Development Foundation and a few other industry leaders, the Web3 Security Atlas will focus on Solana, Ethereum, Base, and Stellar.
Security is the backbone of trust in decentralized ecosystems. The W3SA represents a collaborative effort to raise the bar on security standards and drive innovation in an industry that has historically been plagued with catastrophic hacks. AI is demonstrating significant potential in identifying exploitable code. We believe this initiative can serve the Web3 security industry in the same way that ImageNet has revolutionized computer vision.

In retrospect, it was inevitable
Intimate dinner last night in Tribeca with some of the best folks in blockchain.
Nothing against auditing firms, but I always find this incredibly funny

Sweat analysis will be in the next iteration of wearable devices.

We discovered an issue in Vitalik’s code, and he paid us a bounty for it through @bountycaster.
Who would have imagined that our very first bug bounty client would be none other than the inventor of Ethereum himself?
It took us just 20 seconds to identify an issue in code he personally wrote — without any prior context.
Some of you might recall the tweet he posted earlier this year.
We ended up building exactly that.

Just finished this, suggested read on the topic of longevity
New day, new paper.
We work closely with Zhuo, he came up with an interesting classification for smart contract bugs, distinguishing them between "machine auditable" and "machine unauditable".
"Machine" in this case doesn't take LLMs into consideration.

Good recent paper from Apple on LLMs reasoning capabilities. Their claim is that it still looks more like sophisticated pattern matching, which makes sense intuitively.
We found it to be a pretty robust and intellectually honest evaluation.

G-Eval is a framework presented by the cognitive research team at Microsoft that uses chain-of thoughts (CoT) and a form-filling paradigm for NLG evaluation. Metrics like BLEU and ROUGE have historically had low correlation with human judgements.

@v @nadav @rubinovitz need some papers?
