From one open-ended prompt to an explicit, explorable, and editable 3D world.
Compression and LLMs are trying to solve the exact same problem: predicting what comes next. Learn the fundamentals of compression and how better prediction leads to better shrinkage.
The new lightweight open model and routing library delivers greater control over AI, data and workflows across edge devices, PCs, workstations, data centers and the cloud.
I have a pen-plotter! It’s great. It’s like having a printer but slow and it breaks more often. I got it on eBay and it came sorta broken and I immediately spent the difference between what I paid and the price of new one fixing it. Now it’s fixed!
We turn intent into mathematics, verify every step formally, and make sure the machine does what it is supposed to.

An unreleased Claude model improved the lower bound for the fraction of zeroes of the Riemann zeta function that satisfy the hypothesis, raising it from 41.6% to 67.2%.
Meet GPT-5.6-Cyber, OpenAI’s cybersecurity-specific model available through Daybreak Red for authorized vulnerability research, exploit validation, and security testing.
This somewhat widely cited post (I keep seeing it cited, anyway) suggests that dynamic languages and/or languages that represent things more concisely are more token efficient. It seems to be cited enough that LLM search results agree. For example, when I searched for "dynamic vs static language token cost" (no…
On a small Japanese word that everyone has heard and almost everyone has misaddressed, and what changes when you find out who it is for.

The largest tell for me to tell where culture and sentiment is shifting for AI tools is usually X, viral GitHub repositories and Hacker News. One of these tells I’ve been seeing a lot lately is skills like I have ADHD and Agents.md instructions such as giving outputs in only ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English.
