Last 45 daysSo dancing bugs got upstaged by kpop girls , there’s the whole Bun vs Zig drama , and yesterday’s ChatGPT/Codex superapp launch was bumpier than expected , and the reset button was pressed a couple times to compensate. After buying Statsig and making a big deal out of GPT5’s routing/getting rid of the model picker , the main issue now is that GPT 5.6’s…
Journal of Financial Planning: June 2026 NOTE: Please be aware that the audio version, created with Amazon Polly, may contain mispronunciations. Executive Summary This study evaluated the consistency and fairness of financial recommendations generated by seven widely used GenAI tools across three core areas of household financial planning: emergency…
On any other day, the launch of a surprisingly good/competitive Muse Spark 1.1 from Meta Superintelligence Labs, including, for the first time, in the Meta Model API (signaling high confidence for broad usage and third party testing which is bearing out in their sister models ), would deserve title story status, but they had the misfortune of going up…
OpenAI unveiled its newest family of models on Thursday, introducing a set of heavyweight programs into an increasingly crowded field of AI offerings. GPT-5.6 comes in three variants: Sol (considered its workhorse), Terra (a more intermediate option), and Luna (its budget-friendly option).
OpenAI is rolling out its latest advanced LLM, Sol, for wide public access. Sol is considered to be at least on par with Anthropic’s Fable, a model whose capabilities (or ownership) stressed out the White House enough that it was briefly banned from public access.
The New York Times and The Daily News claim that OpenAI has been lying about its ability to search customer chat log data and training datasets for their copyrighted works. It’s the latest escalation in a two-year lawsuit against the AI firm for allegedly violating copyright law by training its generative AI models on the Times’ content and reproducing…
Today on Decoder , I’m talking with Peter Kafka, who is chief correspondent at Business Insider and host of Channels , a podcast about the media industry. And it’s a big week for the media industry — Comcast just announced that it’s splitting itself up , into the Comcast broadband company and the NBCUniversal entertainment company.
The popular open source AI tool Ollama has raised a $65 million Series B, led by Theory Ventures, founder and CEO Jeff Morgan tells TechCrunch. This round follows a previous $15 million Series A led by Benchmark’s Peter Fenton.

As GPT 5.6 is confirmed to launch tomorrow , today is pretty much the last day anyone will be excited about a GPT 5.5 equivalent model launch, and that is exactly what SpaceXAI did: We've partnered with SpaceXAI to train Grok 4.5. It’s our most powerful model yet and the first we've built for more than software engineering.

We’ve been running a bit of an Agent Cloud series surveying all the top inference/compute/cloud providers, from Databricks to Daytona to Railway and, even further back, E2B , but we’re excited to conclude this series returning to Modal, which has just raised a monster $355M Series C . The cloud was built for developers.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 6, 2026 CONTACT: Gov.Press@illinois.gov CHICAGO — Today, Governor JB Pritzker signed SB 315, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety Measures Act, a landmark legislation establishing the nation's strongest framework for AI safety, transparency, and accountability. The bipartisan law…
SpaceXAI has released its latest model, Grok 4.5 — the first since the company went public several weeks ago. In a blog post published Wednesday, SpaceXAI characterized its new release as a workhorse that can tackle all of the typical tasks that the AI industry has sought to automate: coding and app-building, office and clerical work, research, writing,…
Data for Agents Why agentic AI needs open data, and why synthetic data is how we scale it. Image: Nemotron Post-Training v3 Prompt Atlas More Than Model Weights Building AI agents is hard, because the real world does not behave like a benchmark.
Prime Intellect, a startup that provides computing power and specialized software tools that help companies build AI agents, has raised a $130 million Series A at a $1 billion valuation. The massive round was led by Radical Ventures, with participation from Nvidia Ventures, Intel Capital, Dell Technologies Capital, Iconiq, and a long list of angel…
Native-speed vLLM transformers modeling backend TL;DR : The transformers vLLM backend is now as fast (or faster) than custom vLLM implementations for many LLM architectures. Model authors can automatically leverage their transformers implementations to get ultra fast vLLM inference, for free.

Congrats to Meta Superintelligence on having the top 2/3 image/video models in the world! This would’ve been a candidate for a title story, but unfortunately that is pretty much all the detail we have about Muse Image/Video - no paper, no technical detail whatsoever.
