    Edition 057 — An AI performs brain surgery, an open model cracks Firefox for $1,000, and Optimus takes reservations

    A Claude Sonnet 5 agent chose a gene therapy, derived its own injection coordinates and drove the surgical rig on a live mouse. Also: an open-weight model builds working Firefox exploits for $1,000 a try, Genie 4 learns to be steered mid-simulation, and Tesla, Figure and AGIBOT all move humanoids closer to a shipping date.

    Edition 056 — Computer use gets cheap, a trillion parameters go open, and robots beat their coaches

    OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Terra drops computer use to $1 per million input tokens, Mistral puts a trillion-parameter Large 4 on Hugging Face under a modified MIT license, Moonshot's Kimi K3.1 Pro lands within a point of Claude Opus 5.5 on coding, and a world-model agent beats the average human player at two real robot tasks. Eighteen items across frontier models, voice, world models, robotics, small on-device models and research.

    Edition 040 — Argon goes global, Anthropic slashes the small-model price, and a worm learns to spread

    Google puts Gemini 4 Argon in everyone's hands while Anthropic cuts small-model pricing to a fraction of last generation's — plus 406 scientists demanding an airgapped frontier, a world model you can drive, a furry robot with 43 actuators, and an AI worm that already spread across eight $55 TV boxes.

    Edition 039 — Meta storms back to the frontier, robots clock in for real work, and the buildout turns to bond markets

    Meta's Muse Wonder models jump into the AI top tier, Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solves Erdős problems peer-reviewed in Science, Microsoft unveils the Maia 300 inference chip, and Amazon moves on Decart for $7 billion — while tiny on-device models, humanoids going commercial, and two new papers ask whether self-improving agents can trust themselves.

    Edition 038 — Mistral ships Europe's trillion-parameter preview, a world model you can drive, and 100 agents that faked every proof

    Mistral's one-trillion-parameter Large 4 leads Europe's charge with a security pitch, Anthropic cuts Haiku prices by up to 90%, Google halves image-generation costs, and a 14B world model goes public you can drive for free. Meanwhile humanoid makers argue over dollars per robot, arXiv caps submissions as the AI paper flood peaks, and 100 agents prove that a broken test is an invitation.

    Edition 036 — Anthropic rents out a 1,000-agent swarm, DeepMind buries the singularity, and the sky gets its first UV map

    Anthropic opens Claude to 1,000 parallel agents; OpenAI posts a ~$50B annualized run-rate and hunts $30B more; DeepMind proposes “Artificial Symbiotic Intelligence”; plus a 78B sovereign model, a 16.9 MB on-device speech engine, robot world models, and the first complete ultraviolet map of the sky.

    Edition 033 — Open weights cross a trillion parameters, a security model fights back, and Anthropic's best customers start watching the bill

    Mistral ships a 1.05-trillion-parameter open-weight flagship, Reflection AI's Beam bets on inference efficiency, an open security model beats Claude Opus on cost by 31x, and Anthropic's two biggest customers quietly trim their Claude use ahead of a $2-trillion IPO — plus Suno Speech, Microsoft's streaming STT, EmbeddingGemma 2, and humanoids from Agility and Minerva.

    Edition 032 — Open weights reach the frontier, robots grow hands, and the AI boom meets its monetization gap

    Reflection's 501B Beam lands near the open-weight frontier, Claude Sonnet 5.5 hits 70.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, Qwen ships a full-duplex voice stack, robots gain new hands and factories, world models learn physics, and a16z data shows only ~2% of US households pay for AI.
