Any guess what this Union Alpha beast on OpenRouter is? Claude Fable 5.1-level, over 10x cheaper. Waiting for it to be open-sourced. https://t.co/okoQnHeMw6

Also today: Claude Docs, Claude Slides, and Claude Design are in every conversation. Ask Claude for a presentation and you get one you can open, edit, and export as PowerPoint or PDF. Same for a document or a design. There's no separate tool to navigate to. T…

Claude Code showed that AI could do real work, not just answer questions. Developers hand Claude a feature, come back to shipped code. That's where much of the industry's serious engineering runs now. Cowork proved knowledge workers could do the same: hand Cl…

Three key open-weight labs have seen monthly dollars spent on their models grow by 10x or more so far in 2026. The closed models have seen comparatively slower growth in spending, though from much higher starting points. https://t.co/iOKARyF2as

When I talk to senior managers, increasingly hearing stories of the blurring of jobs inside organizations (we found this at our P&G study as well): coding, design, product management, all collapsing & overlapping as everyone uses AI We need new models…

Haha... Literally no one is pacing the frontier - Opus 5.2 in testing - Grok 4.8 ships in a couple of weeks - Jev is a new ultra fast classifier - OpenAI already has Astra+ in testing We continue to accelerate

Study from Google about AI use in science, complex impacts: acceleration (7 hours saved per week) along with shifts in the kind of work (more verification) and what research gets done (possibly safer topics). Also a good diagram of the jagged frontier https:/…

muse saved this person over $5000 on WiFi! [Quoting @raunaqbn]: @Muse just continues to blow my mind! Today I had it call Xfinity to haggle down my internet bill. it got through the phone tree to a human, hit the verification text it couldn't read, and patche…

i swear muse code is actually good!! the same model behind muse app powers muse code! [Quoting @ryanmcadams]: Never thought I'd say this, but @alexandr_wang has been telling people how good Muse code is, and I wasn't buying it. Spent real time in it today and…

Jev has spoken. It picked which model is AGI. 20–200x faster. 40–400x cheaper. This could make things like LLM-as-a-judge insanely fast and nearly free. (I tried a bunch of prompts and still didn’t burn through $0.10.) https://t.co/1Uhh4nMGDl [Quoting @Comple…

This is cool, but if your output domain is known in advance, why not just train a model to produce logprobs over enums? [Quoting @CompleteSkeptic]: After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent th…

This is an excellent demo of an AI model designed to rapidly classify information according to decision rules, much faster and cheaper than an LLM. It is not an LLM itself and cannot output text or code, but if it works, has a useful role in systems. (Haven’t…

We believe strongly in the necessity to invest into alignment. 1. People and businesses will only use agents that are aligned with their intent and values. If we do not build models aligned with people and businesses, then they will move to more aligned optio…

Zuck’s AI safety take is basically the opposite of most frontier labs: Most labs: The more powerful the model, the more dangerous it is, so access should be restricted. Zuck: The more powerful the model, the more dangerous it is to let a few labs control it.…
