this is just UBI
And so it continues... Our economic debates seem utterly disconnected from the reality. That reality: This is an economy mostly creating healthcare jobs, and it does so month after month, and everything else is just noise.

i built tokentape.io, a Bloomberg-style market terminal for the token economy market share, price history, provider performance, model listings, detailed stats ~574T tokens last month, average price paid per token down 24% best viewed on desktop

as if Europe couldn’t look any worse rn
⚛️🇪🇺 Introducing Quasar 1.1 438B, the first AI model using quantum-generated data. Quasar 438B, the best European AI model, just got a quantum upgrade: Part of its healing set was generated by a hybrid quantum language model running on @IBM Quantum System Two in Donostia-San Sebastián, a 156-qubit IBM Heron processor. It is the first time quantum-generated data enters the CompactifAI pipeline. Quantum computing is not a label on this release, it is part of how the model was built. Sharper, less verbose, tuned for agentic work and ready for European deployment: served by a European company incorporated under EU law and developed in line with EU regulatory requirements, including the transparency expectations of the EU AI Act.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Multiverse Computing's own technical write-up states Quasar 438B is built from GLM-5.2, the open-weights model from Z.ai in China, "REAP'd"/compressed with its own pipeline. Thus, this isn't the "best European model", since it's not European. multiversecomputing.com/papers/inside-…

guess the new style of “biographical” film is one in which you just outright lie and wholly, dangerously, misrepresent people
First trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s ‘ARTIFICIAL’, starring Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. In theaters on December 25.

one thing the ARC-AGI benchmarks are good for is to quickly visualize who's benchmaxxing. imo DeepSeek and Google are.

any chance we could go back to highlighting the highest scores? like what is the point of highlighting like this
🚀Qwen3.8-Max just got upgraded. Meet Qwen3.8-Max-0902! 2.4T parameters. 1M context tokens. Built for real world complexity.

hedge fund try to hedge your investments challenge
Situational Awareness, the $20bn hedge fund founded by former OpenAI employee Leopold Aschenbrenner, has sought to raise fresh capital from investors after suffering heavy losses during the recent rout in AI stocks ft.trib.al/SwCjjE6

i replaced the emulated Xbox 360 GPU in my Skate 3 PC port with a fully native renderer 2x+ the FPS at 1/4 the GPU power, and Apple Silicon went from 25 to 250 FPS at 4K v2.0.0 is out now for Windows, Linux & macOS - try it below!

5.6 is RL fried to death man. i ask how to install something basic, it looks up the definition of "install" on Merriam-Webster. i ask about HDMI settings on my TV, it looks up an arXiv paper on the HDMI spec.

we’re legitimately getting run rate farmed here
We're extending Claude Fable 5 access on all paid plans, as well as keeping Claude Code’s weekly rate limits 50% higher, through July 19.

so as expected, that was a lie

genuinely getting a hint of what the 4o-bros did while working with Fable, concerning

fable is really strong

> Fable 5 | 12% (123.3k / 1.0m) | n/a | n/a | Cache: 2.3m / 283.7k | Cost: $10.79 ($18.06 / h) fable currently costs more than the minimum wage, interesting inflection point

most important annoucement imo
woah this is sick in july 5.6 Sol will be 750tok/s

unclear on the extent to which the models were used to develop the chip. regardless, the loop is beginning to close
A few thoughts on OpenAI's Jalapeño chip announcement today: 1. This chip is most likely the first one virtually entirely developed by Codex/GPT. Codex with whatever internal coding model (GPT 5.6/6.0 whatever) coded the entire software stack and most likely the hardware design 2. OpenAI will write all of their inference serving in pure Jalapeño ISA (instruction set architecture). Why? They only need to get say a few production models serving on Jalapeño. They can handwrite with Codex the entire model in pure ISA to get very high performance 3. They are most likely running Codex/GPT in custom RL envs to teach the models direct Jalapeño chip programming at ISA level 4. This is a massive cost savings for OpenAI and only possible IMO due to the breakthroughs in agentic coding. An AI company with frontier coding models can now become a hardware vendor with only a small team of experienced SWEs and an infinite amount of tokens This is the first chip program fully accelerated by frontier AI.
