▸ • OpenAI drops GPT-6 Sol and Luna, bringing Astra-level intelligence to everyday tasks with a 50% price cut.
▸ • Rabbit pivots from hardware to software with OS3, a cross-platform AI agent that lives on your existing devices.
▸ • Snorkel AI hits a $3.5B valuation as the thirst for high-quality training data continues to explode.
OpenAI just expanded the GPT-6 family with Sol and Luna, promising Astra-level reliability for half the cost of the 5.6 series. Sol handles the heavy lifting like coding, while Luna takes care of your clerical busywork.
Two years after trying to convince us we needed dedicated AI hardware, Rabbit is launching OS3, a cross-platform agent that lives on the screens you already use. It turns out the best AI gadget was the computer you already owned all along.
Snorkel AI just raised $350 million in a Series E round, proving that shoveling high-quality data into the AI furnace is a very lucrative business. Their annualized revenue run-rate has crossed $350 million as frontier labs scramble for complex training data.
Qualcomm's new top-tier smartphone chips can run a 30-billion parameter mixture-of-experts model locally. Your phone is about to get a lot smarter, and probably a lot hotter.
Anthropic and OpenAI are making the exact same promise this week: a little more capability for a lot less money. The frontier AI model race has officially entered its comparison shopping phase, and developers are the real winners.
Cloudflare just shipped Vary support in Cache Rules, allowing developers to normalize negotiation headers or bypass cache when variations are too unpredictable. It's a massive quality-of-life upgrade for anyone wrestling with HTTP's ugliest feature.
Cloudflare introduced Worker Previews, giving every branch its own URL, state, and observability. Now you and your autonomous agents can test changes in parallel without accidentally nuking production.
A minimalist implementation of the hyped 'Jev' model in just 25 lines of Python is making waves on Hacker News. It's a refreshing reminder that beneath the buzzwords, it's all just logits and probabilities.
Someone built a Z80 REPL that runs directly in your browser. It's the perfect distraction for when you should be writing modern code but yearn for the simpler, 8-bit days of computing.
OpenAI's new prompt caching for GPT-6 introduces explicit breakpoints and new diagnostics. It's designed to significantly reduce latency and costs for heavy API users who know how to optimize their context windows.
Eight Sleep launched the Pod 6, a cooling hub small enough to hide under your bed that tracks your vitals and adjusts temperature. Sleep like a well-refrigerated log while your bed silently monitors your heart rate.
A woman's brain worm infection was finally confirmed after the eggs grew tails in a lab test. Sweet dreams tonight, everyone!
