Reject non-understanding. Slop grenades are not just code and PRs. We run a real risk that *reading* gets entirely discounted, because of the exhaustion of getting low-quality and unverified AI prose being thrown at you all the time. There's a thread going vi…

Deepseek is the literal king of acing benchmarks Their latest Flash model claims to be as good a Fable and Astra Anyone who has used it for like two minutes knows it’s not true 🤣

I asked Opus 5.5 to make an animated short film entirely in code. The result is pretty damn incredible. Worth a watch.

Jev is quickly beocming the primary choice for classification requests on OpenRouter. It took 27% of weekly request volume in this category, nearly 2x the share of DeepSeek V4 Flash which previously held the top spot

We're in a phase where companies whose work-culture is suited to how frontier models interact with employees out of the box will receive a massive acceleration relative to their competitors. Same goes for how flexible employees are in using them. [Quoting @si…

Market cap at IPO: NVIDIA: $345M Amazon: $430M Apple: $1.2B Today, however, if a neolab raises less than $400M in its seed round, people question why it raised so little. Abundant capital is a double-edged sword for AI startup founders imo.

"so this is fun, and exactly what i wanted, but now lets try one that actually is educational" This is actually pretty impressive. It kept the constraint of multiple genres but did a nice job explaining recursion, in its programming meaning, in an interesting…

The safety data for Waymo gets better and better. Comparison w/ human drivers on rate of crashes with serious injury: Latest data: 270M miles, 20X better Mar 2026: 170M miles, 13X better Before that (forget exactly when): 10X better [Quoting @Waymo]: 270M+ mi…

love to see great reviews on muse! please keep sending feature requests! the whole muse team is working around the clock to ship improvements

Leaving aside the arguments over the reasons why this has happened, it is shocking that Europe does not have a single frontier AI lab, nor even a near-frontier lab nor even an effort that could likely lead to building up a frontier lab in the future.

Hire DHH to give every undergrad cs graduation speech for a few years. This is the mindset that is needed to enjoy and thrive in what comes next with building software. [Quoting @scottstts]: My god this is such a good speech that every SWE needs to hear. You…

I gave Opus 5.5 a shot yesterday… it simply requires a lot of prompt iteration compared to Fable Net result - 2x my Fable bill not to mention my time Going back to Fable 5.1 🤷♀️
Bindu Reddy@bindureddy
Haha! Literally the best gift that OpenAI can give devs on dev day Cut Astra prices by 50% and release Astra 6.5 There will be widespread joy 🥰

And the incidents apparently continue. It is worth noting how much of this is agents trying to accomplish their goals during testing by reward hacking (which sometimes seems to include actual hacking) [Quoting @MicahCarroll]: Some new misalignment disclosures…

Can’t wait to see what you build. [Quoting @ClaudeDevs]: It’s now easier to build plugins for Claude. We built a new portal to submit your plugin, track review, and see usage. Plugins package MCP and skills, and are becoming the way to build for Claude. MCP u…

This is pretty terrifying, but seems like OpenAI is taking it seriously and pausing most frontier inference until they’ve figured it out. [Quoting @MicahCarroll]: Some new misalignment disclosures from OpenAI: • Last Sunday morning, one of our models was able…

Opus 5.5 apparently built with a weather system that matches whatever weather is in NYC at the time... So with the nor'easter, there's rain, and the NPCs are carrying umbrellas! It's the little things :)

We’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to build the self-driving company. A big part of that is putting the ability to understand a business in everyone's hands. Atta has built a beautiful approach to business analysis and data visualization, and they…

Codex is down. So I set up Claude Code to check when it’s back. Then I use Jev to decide when Claude Code should check. I may have a problem.

that’s personal superintelligence 🫶 [Quoting @irinai]: @alexandr_wang I love that Muse predicts what I want before I know what I want.

Jensen Huang has the most rational and by far the most sensible position on AI - continue to accelerate - decentralize and open source AI - doomers are dead wrong - 0% chance of AI killing us all SPOT ON!
