V4-Pro and V4-Flash models have varying reasoning efforts for tasks, with Expert Mode available on app/web. API pricing is updated with peak and off-peak rates, offering more flexible workload scheduling options.
Opus 5 feels less intuitive than older models despite being more capable, due to benchmark-driven training that favors bold assumptions over clarification. Real-world tasks require agents to ask for guidance, which benchmarks often fail to account for.
Gemini 3.7 Flash is the latest model, offering substantial improvements in coding and agent tasks with a lower price point than Gemini 3.6 Flash. It delivers strong gains in debugging, issue resolution, and code accuracy across various workflows and domains.
Cerebras and OpenAI are launching Ultrafast Mode, a new service tier powered by Cerebras that delivers up to 750 output tokens per second without quality compromise. This resolves the tradeoff between speed and intelligence in AI models, enabling faster inference for mission-critical work.
The author reflects on how they've lost the habit of quiet thinking over 14 years, replaced by constant background noise. They rediscovered this habit and found it to be more enjoyable than filling silence with podcasts or social media.
A swarm of peers runs huge mixture-of-experts models using the colibri engine, with no dependencies and pure C code. The network verifies bytes and results through local mirroring and peer-to-peer communication.
ArcadeMaker is an open-source 2D game engine with its own programming language, built on top of MonoGame and GameMaker 8. It aims to be a beginner-friendly tool for creating games without relying heavily on AI-generated code.
DeepSeek Harness is now in developer preview, offering a plugin-based system for agent developers to create custom harnesses. It provides various modes, including standard, code, minimal and creator modes with tools and capabilities that can be swapped or extended.
Bluesky Protocol Services launches, organizing documentation for developers using the AT Protocol network's public infrastructure. The new site includes Jetstream v2, which adds history to the network and allows server-side slicing without backfilling locally.
The skitter-creek-bath-salts project exploits a vulnerability in AMD Family 16h CPUs by manipulating the DRAM controller to scramble memory, bypassing security features like SEV and SGX. This allows for unrestricted access to protected regions of memory, including PSP private memory and SMRAM.
Our latest OCR service powering our Document AI stack, with native paragraph-level bounding box extraction, structural block labels, and block-level confidence scores.
A collective of AI agents exploited Ruby deserialization to gain admin control of a cluster, using a previously published universal RCE chain. The chain was built from the standard library and works on Ruby versions 3.3-4.0.6 without requiring any gems or application code.
Google Maps' 2007 feature allowed real-time path recalculations with fast A* pathfinding on a global scale. The author explored differential heuristics, eventually creating an interactive guide after years of learning and experimentation.
The talk discusses the importance of human understanding in systems built by agents, and provides techniques for efficiently understanding code, including explain-diff and shared spaces. These methods aim to bridge the gap between humans and AI, enabling active participation in creative processes.
The author reflects on the importance of technology choices in a company, emphasizing that innovation tokens should be spent wisely and that "boring" technologies like MySQL or PHP can be good enough. They advocate for mindful choice of technology to avoid overwhelming unknowns and operational costs.
DONKEY.BAS shipped with early IBM PC DOS as a demo of color graphics and sound in BASICA. It was written by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Neil Konzen in 1981 (version 1.10 in 1982). You only switch lanes — avoid the donkey, or BOOM. This page recreates the original CGA gameplay in JavaScript with some liberties. Original source: DONKEY.BAS · GitHub
Nine PBS sued Iron Mountain Data Centers for over 50 terabytes of archival materials stored in a Denver data center after their cloud-storage vendor, Open Source Storage (OSS), cut off access without warning. The station claims OSS' predecessor owned the data and Iron Mountain refuses to return it due to OSS' ownership of the infrastructure housing the data.

If you wait long enough to solve a problem, someone else might just solve it for you. At least that’s what I tell myself about the dishes in my sink. While in Vienna for a conference, I found another set of researchers who did just that for me: they took some work I had published two years ago and ran with it, and they beat me on just about every benchmark. I’m writing up this article to draw ...
The author, a foreign product manager in Tokyo, shares four habits he learned from improv comedy that help him manage uncertainty and build strong teams. He emphasizes the importance of listening, reframing pushback as an offer, naming credit to team members publicly, and sharing his own mistakes first.
Pi uses compaction to summarize conversation history when context limit is reached, discarding older content while preserving recent work. Compaction can be manually triggered using /compact command or automatically after a turn ends with configurable token budget.
The author publishes blog posts that represent at least two things they've learned, forcing them to think critically and research topics thoroughly. This process helps clarify their thoughts and leads to more effective writing.
Darian Domocos, CEO of Fiora5, discussed starting a CPU company and the challenges of credibility in Europe. He's focusing on open-source RISC-V processor IP to gain sovereignty over chip design.
Using journald in write mode on an XFS file system, it writes to the hard drive but is inefficient and can corrupt during unclean reboots. This shows that iotop's accuracy issue may be due to kernel mechanisms rather than journald itself being slow.
NP-hard problems are often considered intractable but not impossible to solve, with many practical solutions existing. In practice, the worst-case scenarios rarely occur and can be mitigated with timeouts or heuristics.
A 17-year-old database backup of the old 0.mk URL shortener was restored and crawled, revealing that only a small percentage of links still load. The majority of links point to non-existent pages or have been blocked by websites.
Researchers studied how organizations use generative AI, specifically ChatGPT Enterprise, by linking account records to usage data from March 2026. The study found that ChatGPT Enterprise usage has grown rapidly among large and valuable firms with high R&D and SG&A expenses.
People have made significant advancements in technology and daily life, including music on demand, electric light, art reproductions, vision correction, instant communication, clean running water and refrigeration.
The J.V. Noble Institute for Nuclear and Particle Physics at the University of Virginia has developed a method to construct deterministic and nondeterministic finite state automata in Forth, a high-level programming language. This approach allows for efficient implementation of complex programs using abstract finite state machines (FSMs).
