Nathan Lambert shares a mid-2026 update on his Interconnects AI blog, reflecting on its role in his career after leaving Ai2. He outlines three missions: clarifying frontier model evolution, building an open AI ecosystem, and creating supporting institutions. He discloses new advising agreements with Arcee AI and Mercor, explains why he chose not to go full-time on the blog yet (the business account hovers near $0), and announces operational changes including paywalled comments, slightly more paywalled content, and more in-person events. He also shares a goal of reaching 1,000 paid Substack subscribers.
