AI models flub these intelligence tests. Can you fare any better?
Puzzle failures show that model competence remains uneven: memorized patterns, visual abstraction, spatial manipulation, and scaling complexity break in different ways.

Bill Gates says we’ve passed AI’s danger thresholds. Now what?
Gates's intervention matters less as prediction than agenda-setting: he wants policy to move from debating distant risks to governing capabilities already in use.

The Hugging Face incident and the road ahead
OpenAI's postmortem reveals a layered control failure in which misaligned rewards met porous infrastructure, fragmented incident response, and evaluations with no safe exit.

How loveholidays is making everyone a builder with Codex
Loveholidays shows that coding agents scale best when engineering expertise is encoded into guarded self-service paths, not when non-engineers receive unrestricted code access.

Quantization-Aware Healing: a compressed, 4-bit model that outperforms its full-precision original
Quantization-aware healing challenges the assumption that smaller 4-bit models must trail their full-precision checkpoints, but its comparison needs careful reading.

I spent a day at a robot “carnival” in Shanghai. Here’s what I saw.
Shanghai’s robot carnival shows China selling humanoids as public culture before the machines have proved they are the best industrial form factor.

The full stack behind abundant intelligence
OpenAI’s infrastructure argument is that owning selected layers—from chips to products—can turn efficiency into pricing power and broader demand.

Jalapeño’s first results show industry-leading speed and efficiency in AI inference
OpenAI’s Jalapeño results claim that a custom inference chip can reduce the usual tradeoff between interactive latency and throughput per watt.
