Everyone’s going on about how smart Leopold Aschennbrenner is (or was). But 1. He obviously didn’t know anything at all about risk management. (Or arrogantly chose to disregard whatever he might have

Fine-tune your own embedding model for the price of a coffee. A great reranker can't surface a doc that was never retrieved. A RAG pipeline cannot cite a case it failed to retrieve. See how contrastiv

Hermes and Pi Agent led on the average cost per task, while Claude Code cost about 3.7x as much as Pi: - 0.39 Hermes Agent - 0.40 Pi Agent - 0.47 Codex - 0.51 OpenCode - 0.54 Kimi Code - 1.47 Claude C

Hugging Face's @ClementDelangue asked on CNN whether they will take legal action against OpenAI if they don't get the $100M commitment: 'We don't want to ... obviously we're a tiny startup with like 2

i see your moore's law and i raise you 20x GPT-5.4 full at xhigh scored 51, exactly where Luna max sits today. GPT-5.4 costs 2.50/15; Luna now costs 0.20/1.20. In other words, roughly four months late

Simon Willison switched his Datasette Agent instance from Gemini 3.1 Flash‑Lite to GPT‑5.6 “Luna” after a recent 80% price drop. He reports the new model is significantly faster and automatically gene

If LoRA is underperforming, don't reach for more expensive full parameter fine-tuning right away. We ran three cheap tests (data coverage, optimization, rank) to see if we could close the gap between

Inkling-Small is now live on Together AI. @thinkymachines’ new open-weight multimodal model delivers similar performance to Inkling at one-quarter the size, built for coding, agents, and general multi

'Intelligence too cheap to meter' battle is on! Given that DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Preview is already great for agentic tasks, there is no doubt this new checkpoint must be an absolute beast. 20+ point jump

Introducing Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR-Flash: More context-aware. Stronger domain-term recognition. 🚀Our latest ASR model upgrades: • Context consistency • Domain-term recognition • Custom hotwords • Speech p

It’s been a busy couple of weeks! ICYMI, here’s the recap ⬇️ — Gemini Robotics 2 from @GoogleDeepmind brings whole-body intelligence to robots — Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is our fastest, most cost-effecti

Justine Moore announced on July 31, 2026 that Flux 3’s latest iteration excels at generating GPU‑based ASMR content. She confirmed that this capability is now available in an early preview on the Nous

Neat work on long-horizon agents. Splitting a hard task across agents is typically how standard multi-agent work. The usual design lets them exchange findings only at phase boundaries, through staged

New research from Microsoft. This one is on training computer-use agents at scale. Recent pipelines generate synthetic environments in bulk, which moved the bottleneck from how many exist to what is i

OK, GPT-5.6 Luna is a bit of a beast. Given the 80% price drop today I decided to try it in Datasette Agent, and it's furiously quick and generates all the SQL, HTML and JavaScript (for Datasette Apps

One of our big findings in our study at Procter and Gamble was that AI blurred the lines between jobs. Now OpenAI has a similar finding. Organizational boundaries are becoming porous, the walls thinni

OPENAI IS GOING TO TAKE THIS ENTIRE MARKET DOWN WITH IT And you don't have to own a single share to get hurt. What I'm about to explain should worry anybody who thinks they're diversified: OpenAI is a

OpenAI’s entire growth loop: new models, price cuts, and Tibo’s token resets major price cuts today: *80% drop for GPT-5.6 Luna, now 0.20 per million input tokens and 1.20 per million output *20% drop

Period. If LoRA is underperforming, don't reach for more expensive full parameter fine-tuning right away. We ran three cheap tests (data coverage, optimization, rank) to see if we could close the gap

Security at the foundation requires openness at the foundation. As open-weight models become critical infrastructure for the next generation of software, the systems around them must be transparent, i

The first thing we learned building autoscaling for dedicated inference is that CPU-style metrics don't tell the whole picture. A GPU can read 60% busy while the engine's queue is already backing up,

The new DeepSeek v4 Flash is now available in Hermes Agent through Nous Portal and OpenRouter 🚀 DeepSeek-V4-Flash Official API is now LIVE in public beta! 🔷 We’ve massively upgraded its Agent capabili

The price wars that I have predicted going back to August 2023 are now in full swing. All this was inevitable – as long as everyone builds more or less the same kind of AI, there is no moat, and profi

They knew the charges were bullshit from the start. They knew they arrested an innocent man just to intimidate others and appease the fake narrative of an incompetent fucking toddler. This is the real

This is both a real incident (in that the AI really did get unauthorized access to real systems) and also something it was (sort of) prompted to do. In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we fo

This is not optional, things are getting chaotic now, and not dealing with this change won't make it go away. Plus, this could be a huge boost for both individual satisfaction & firm performance if do

this is the whole problem in a nutshell. LLM-centered systems just can’t be trusted to follow hard constraints, we absolutely must find alternatives that can, or we are screwed. Anybody remember this

This will happen frequently as AI becomes smarter and more agentic In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or wh

On July 31, 2026 at 01:40 AM, Twitter user Murtaza Khomusi posted a “throwback” tweet reminiscing about opening his first iPhone in 2007 (“2k7 vibez”) and questioned whether this marked the start of t

Try Grok 4.5 http://X.ai/cli BREAKING: Grok 4.5 outperforms GPT-5.6 Terra across almost all shared benchmarks on AskClash, leading in ACB, GPQA, SWE-P, and Atlas while also achieving a higher overall

verbalizing one of those aha moments i had that seems retroactively pretty obvious: if you prioritize pretrain data quality enough that commoncrawl isn't good enough for you, you have to build a Whole

Very interesting paper on recursive self-improvement. The whole stack is released. Machine learning engineering gives recursive self-improvement a concrete, executable testbed. OpenMLE is an open full

We created a document OCR router that can estimate the complexity of every single page and parse it with the relevant mode 💫 * Some pages are full of native text, which can be directly handled with Li

We have an idea for dinner 2 already :) But what ideas are you all interested in? - technical topics like rl envs, continual learning, cloud agents, world models - general startup / company building f

A post of ours on vendor lock in and LLMs. We don't like the growing trend of AI companies quietly hiding your data while stripping away your control. We think that's bad for users and bad for the eco

AI engineers are rediscovering ontologies as a way to keep probabilistic agents inside deterministic boundaries. We delve into presentations from @coyle_frankp and @emileifrem from the @aiDotEngineer

“AI Meltdown” is the scenario where the agent goes off the rails and forgets/ignores all previous instructions and soft guardrails. No prompt injection or malicious actor is needed for this to happen.

And Grok 4.6 comes out in a week BREAKING: Grok 4.5 ranked #1 on LaurenBench with a score of 56.9%, ahead of Claude Sonnet 5, GLM 5.2, Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3 and GPT-5.6. The benchmark tests real-worl

Answer from OpenAI @emollick re ARC-AGI-3: human testers scored ~48% (ARC uploaded testers logs to HuggingFace some time ago, I believe). re GDPval: it’s close to saturated now, so we’re mostly lookin

As the benchmarks that test frontier AI on get more complex, we are losing one of the most important aspects of benchmarking: comparisons to humans Validated benchmarks need to have human (ideally mul

Atomic Chat signed the Open Weights letter! We believe everyone should be able to run AI on their own device. When a model is open, thousands of teams fine-tune it, quantize it and build new tools on

Ethan Mollick highlights that large, currently under‑explored benchmarks (e.g., ARC‑AGI, GDPval, METR long horizons, ASI cyber tasks) are growing in complexity, yet they increasingly lack systematic h

Can AI agents conduct open-ended AI research? Most evaluations of agents conducting AI research focus on narrow, verifiable tasks. But AI research is often open ended. Researchers pick hypotheses, dec
