To win public support, AI needs to flex some deflationary power If tokens get cheaper by 40x/year, at what point do high-quality foods get cheaper by even 10%/year? Every part of the world now produces 2.5k+ cal/person/day - surely this is solvable

Seeing more benchmarks using $/decision or $/task Seems like meaningful progress toward outcome-based pricing / incentive alignment with the user

On the Rubric blog you can actually try out these demos yourself! We think a lot about how to share ideas as accessibly as possible without wasting the attention of our technical audience We want our blog to be easy to skim and handle deep attention if you decide to pull over

i turned the entire actual city of san francisco into a video game! with apple maps data, i made it so you can climb buildings, 'steal' cars, and explore anywhere. and you can play it!!

Cannot recommend the @pangram Chrome extension enough Highlights human-written content, works on any copied text, stays out of the way when not needed

Every large repo should do this
we merged 4x more commits last week than we did a month ago (thanks opus 5.5). our dev setup and CI couldn't keep up, so we reworked both: • lint: 4x faster • memory per agent session: half • CI setup step: 50x faster • CI type check: 10x faster we often run 10+ agents at once locally, and each one runs its own lint, type checks and tests. from time to time, several agents would run these at the same time and block each other. a 64 GB MBP would run out of memory and crash. so most of the work was making things faster and lighter, or getting rid of them we revamped our local setup to make checks faster and use less memory: • oxlint and oxfmt instead of eslint and prettier, and type-aware lint only runs in CI. linting a changed file went from over 10s to a few seconds • a hook formats every file an agent edits, so agents don't have to take a turn to format it • typescript 7's native LSP instead of tsserver. each agent session uses about half the memory • agents run one check script after each change. it installs missing packages and env files first, then lints, type-checks and runs the tests for what changed • only 3 type checks or big test runs can run at once across all worktrees, so they don't slow each other down we revamped our CI to make it faster: • every CI job installs pnpm before it can install our packages. the standard github action for this (pnpm/action-setup) installs pnpm through npm, and that hung for 3-7 min on most of our test jobs. we now download the pnpm binary from github releases, which takes about 4s • our type check needs about 9.5 GB of memory. github's standard runners have 8 GB, so it ran out of memory and took 206s. on a 16 GB machine it takes 20s • vercel builds type-check with typescript 7 (85s to 45s), and previews only build for PRs that change the database if you're running lots of agents, look at what they're waiting on. for us it was mostly lint, type checks and CI setup

The field of available models is getting so broad that it's increasingly worth it to use AI to pick your model by use case, ie. a model router Points to a bright future: a diverse market of models with different strengths, where good aggregators/recommenders earn a margin
Today, we are launching a preview of our new model, Mistral Large 4 (ML4), aka le Chonk 🐈. ML4 is a 1T-parameter model with 49B active parameters, trained natively with multimodal capabilities. It is at the frontier of open models, and by far the strongest open-weight model from the US or Europe. The RL run behind this preview is still in flight and shows no sign of saturation -- we will release a final version before the end of the month along with the weights of the model. 🧵 1/n
