With the start of 2026 I will officially step down as chair/CEO and move to a supervisory role. I wish Francesco and the new board members - Sergey, Dalai, Fiona - a lot of wisdom and success. I will enjoy more free time, and look forward playing a humble role in shaping Blender for the next decade.

This is an incredibly impressive result that LLMs under the right circumstances can be a really powerful tool for learning.
Big: The final version of a randomized, controlled World Bank study finds using a GPT-4 tutor with teacher guidance in a six week afterschool program in Nigeria had "more than twice the effect of some of the most effective interventions in education" ("equating to 1.5 to 2 years" of standard school)
