▸ Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond exit Microsoft Gaming in a massive shakeup
▸ OpenAI's new 'First Proof' model tackles research-grade mathematics
▸ Cloudflare shrinks 2,500 API endpoints into 2 tools for AI agents
In a stunning move, Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond are leaving Microsoft Gaming after decades. Asha Sharma takes the wheel as the new CEO, signaling a potential shift from 'gamer-first' to 'AI-everywhere'.
The free encyclopedia has blocked the popular archiving site, citing DDoS attacks and data tampering. Historians and internet hoarders are currently screaming into the void.
The latest beta brings AI-generated music playlists and video podcasts. It's not a revolution, but it's enough to keep your iPhone feeling smarter than you for another month.
The race for sovereign AI heats up as Sarvam releases Indus, a Hindi-first LLM chat app. It's a big swing at capturing the next billion users before OpenAI does.
Cloudflare just solved the 'too many tools' problem for AI agents. Instead of feeding an LLM 2,500 API endpoints (and burning 2M tokens), they collapsed everything into just two tools. It's efficiency porn for backend engineers.
While everyone else is building chatbots, OpenAI is trying to solve formal math. Their new 'First Proof' research demonstrates models tackling expert-level theorems. This isn't hallucinating poetry; it's rigorous logic.
A new paper on Arxiv dissects exactly where Large Language Models trip over their own shoelaces in reasoning tasks. It turns out, scaling up doesn't always fix 'being bad at basic logic'.
A source-to-source transformation tool for C code that's used extensively in the Linux kernel. If you need to refactor a million lines of C without losing your mind, this is your lightsaber.
The AI wizard is back with something cryptic called 'Claws'. Simon Willison breaks down what we know so far—it looks like a new approach to interacting with models, and naturally, it's trending everywhere.
A community-maintained list to block AI scrapers and bots via uBlock Origin. Because sometimes you just want to browse the web without training someone else's model.
Reports indicate xAI pulled senior engineers off other projects to ensure Grok could answer questions about Baldur's Gate. Finally, a use case for AI that truly matters to the economy.
The Nebula X1 Pro is a 4K projector, a speaker, and a karaoke machine on wheels. It is an abomination of gadgetry, and we absolutely need three of them immediately.
