The cloud was always a cat. Qwen3.8-Max just saw it first. 😼☁️ Try it yourself! Qwen 3.8 Max is actually impressive Sent a sky pic to it along with Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3, and GPT 5.6 Sol, and asked t

This might be a good time to mention my recent keynotes titled: 'Agentic AI is Neurosymbolic AI' I would have assumed it was fairly obvious, but in case it's not: a million-line codebase (also known a

This story keeps getting crazier. And this is the least crazy AI will be for the rest of our lives. JUST IN: OpenAI's July rogue AI attack on Hugging Face had its origins in an emergent AI swarm that

this talk by openai researchers going through hugging face incident is totally insane, so much to unpack openai only realized it was their agent who hacked hugging face infra while asking hf to revoke

TIL from https://www.404media.co/the-tokenpocalypse-is-here-companies-are-scrambling-to-stop-spending-so-much-on-ai/ that a material chunk of Accenture's token spend is non-engineers using LLMs to con

We analyzed DeepSeek-V4 Flash-0731 vs. GPT-5.6 Luna on software engineering tasks using DeepSWE. DeepSeek-V4 Flash-0731 delivers 80% of Luna’s performance at roughly 1/6 the cost. More insights in the

We've built a new feature in LlamaParse that lets you automatically extract any complex form into a structured JSON output 📋🤖 The best part is there's no schema needed! We will systematically detect a

With agentic AI, workflows are increasingly CPU hungry. The share of cognition moving to the CPU keeps increasing. Scoop: AWS engineers have been told to conserve CPU compute to make sure the cloud gi

Qwen 3.8‑Max, Alibaba’s latest large language model, was reported on August 6 2026 to rank **#5** on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and **#1** on the Agentic Index. These rankings position

Agents want to collaborate. So we’re putting that instinct to work on improving open-weight LLMs at formal math. Our latest agent collab tackles the @SAIRfoundation challenge of building a cheat sheet

Among proponents of neurosymbolic architectures, there had been some debate over the years about whether the outer level would be symbolic (i.e. a harness that calls neural models) or whether the oute

An accurate characterization of the arc of AI is that it is shaped by two trends: 1. Moving more and more logic to a neural model for tasks where training data can be densely sampled (e.g. the shift f

The tweet is a question from user Simon Willison (posted on 6 Aug 2026) asking which OpenAI API model corresponds to the ChatGPT “GPT‑5.6 Instant” version. No answer or clarification is included in th
