20 posts held, back to 15 January 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 29 January 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Measured directly from 4 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
8 reactions across 4 posts, in 2 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 75.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 6 | 75.0% | |
| ❤ | 2 | 25.0% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 4 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 8reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 15 January 2025 to 29 January 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
🔥 A New Competitor to OpenAI (and it's free)! The Chinese company Moonshot AI has introduced a new AI model, Kimi k1.5, which is now available for free through a web interface at Kimi.ai! The model supports the English language, but the company is working on improving language support. The highlight is that users can access the full range of features of Kimi k1.5 without any limitations.

😨 Chinese AI developer DeepSeek reported a cyberattack and limited user registration. Existing users can still access the services as usual. On January 27, DeepSeek became the most downloaded free app in the American App Store, surpassing the ChatGPT chatbot. Following this, some users experienced outages, and IT company stocks declined.
⚡️DeepSeek has decided to completely disrupt the American stock market by releasing multimodal image generation to the public. Capabilities of Janus-Pro-7B: — The generated images are nearly indistinguishable from real ones; they are highly detailed, and the text on them looks perfect. — Tests show that the neural network outperforms its American competitors DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion. — It can be installed lo…

🤝🏼 The ElevenLabs neural network will provide dubbing, voice an audiobook, and generate a podcast from text. Moreover, you can specify the age, gender, and even accent of the "neuro-speaker." How to register, voice text, and generate a virtual voice — in the note.
🔥 AI controls your smartphone: Perplexity has launched Assistant. This is an Android app that calls Uber, adds events to Google Calendar, and handles other tasks. At launch, it will be free for users in 15+ languages, but currently without support for iOS.

✅ Users of the new AI agent Operator from OpenAI are assigning tasks such as sending emails, booking tickets, and working with code. Several examples were shown in the article. Some users—those who pay $200 for ChatGPT Pro—admitted that there are still tasks that are easier to complete on their own.
💻 OpenAI is launching its AI agent, Operator. The new AI assistant will be able to independently manage the user's computer, for example, to book tickets, reserve a table at a restaurant, or write code. Operator is already being made available to Pro subscribers for $200. An official announcement may take place this evening.
🔥 Google has updated Gemini: now the AI can handle multitasking queries, such as searching for a restaurant and sending the information to a friend simultaneously. Gemini is becoming the default virtual assistant on the new Samsung Galaxy S25, replacing Bixby. The update includes an improved Circle to Search feature and expanded support for multimodal tasks, including processing images, files, and videos. The new c…

👍 Chinese developers have released the AI model DeepSeek-R1, which solves math and programming tasks "better" or at the level of OpenAI's GPT-4. The chatbot allows users to make 50 free queries per day.
👌The AI accounting assistant Sage Copilot from Amazon has been temporarily disabled after it mistakenly sent personal customer data in response to a user request. The company stated that the issue has already been resolved.
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @SilicicAI. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 30 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
