A deeper dive on our findings, what went wrong, and future changes we’re making.
Build powerful software environments and containerized operations from modular components and simple functions. Perfect for complex software delivery and AI agents. Built by the creators of Docker.
Today, we are glad to announce that ESP32-C5 is now in mass production.
OpenAI has acquired Software Applications Incorporated, maker of Sky—a natural language interface for Mac that brings AI directly into your desktop experience. Together, we’re integrating Sky’s deep macOS capabilities into ChatGPT to make AI more intuitive, contextual, and action-oriented.
This addendum to the GPT-5 system card shares a new model: GPT-5-Codex, a version of GPT-5 further optimized for agentic coding in Codex. GPT-5-Codex adjusts its thinking effort more dynamically based on task complexity, responding quickly to simple conversational queries or small tasks, while independently working…
It would give the powerful a dangerous new route to manipulate platforms into removing lawful speech that they simply don't like, with President Trump himself saying that he would use the law to censor his critics. The bill passed the Senate in February, and it now heads to the president's desk.
We have fried two Ryzen 9950X CPUs in a few months by running GMP tests and the GMP-based factoring program GMP-ECM . This is not expected, of course. In this page, we provide as much information as possible to help analysing the problem.
We are out of Beta and in v1: we're releasing a new strategy around safe & active community instead of bashing our competitors, a fancy redesigned landing page, and a bunch of new features to make core couch surfing functionality better!
Valkey is not only thriving, but now outperforming Redis 8.0 in real world benchmarks.
Today, we're excited to introduce Lynx, a family of technologies empowering developers to use their existing web skills to create truly native UIs for both mobile and web from a single codebase...
Right before Christmas we discovered that our Aurora Postgres instance needed a major version upgrade. This covers how we made the upgrade with zero seconds of downtime.
Exploring LSM tree implementation in PostgreSQL for better write performance.
We are excited to announce that F-Droid has been awarded $396,044 from the Open Technology Fund’s FOSS Sustainability Fund. This grant is specifically design...
We’re taking first steps toward agentic commerce in ChatGPT with new ways for people, AI agents, and businesses to shop together.
Made in Notion, the connected workspace where AI agents and teams organize docs, projects and knowledge together.

For years, startups have been taught to prioritize growth over everything else. Profitability was seen as unambitious or even wrong – something to worry about when you hit scale. Why focus on profits when money and valuations were easy to come by?
Go applications can implement graceful shutdown by handling termination signals (SIGTERM, SIGINT) via os/signal or signal.NotifyContext. Shutdown must complete within a specified timeout (e.g., Kubernetes’ terminationGracePeriodSeconds)…
We propose measuring AI performance in terms of the length of tasks AI agents can complete. We show that this metric has been consistently exponentially increasing over the past 6 years, with a doubling time of around 7 months. Extrapolating this trend predicts that, in under a decade, we will see AI agents that can…
Train, serve, and scale open-source and custom AI models on the fastest, most reliable inference platform.
In JDK 25, Strings used as keys in immutable Maps can be much faster.
