OpenAI sidesteps Nvidia with unusually fast coding model on plate-sized chips

But 1,000 tokens per second is actually modest by Cerebras standards. The company has measured 2,100 tokens per second on Llama 3.1 70B and reported 3,000 tokens per second on OpenAI’s own open-weight gpt-oss-120B model, suggesting that Codex-Spark’s comparatively lower speed reflects the overhead of a larger or more complex model. AI coding agents have… Read More »

Sixteen Claude AI agents working together created a new C compiler

Amid a push toward AI agents, with both Anthropic and OpenAI shipping multi-agent tools this week, Anthropic is more than ready to show off some of its more daring AI coding experiments. But as usual with claims of AI-related achievement, you’ll find some key caveats ahead. On Thursday, Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini published a blog… Read More »

AI companies want you to stop chatting with bots and start managing them

Despite the hype about these agents being co-workers, from our experience, these agents tend to work best if you think of them as tools that amplify existing skills, not as the autonomous co-workers the marketing language implies. They can produce impressive drafts fast but still require constant human course-correction. The Frontier launch came just three… Read More »

OpenAI spills technical details about how its AI coding agent works

It’s worth noting that both OpenAI and Anthropic open-source their coding CLI clients on GitHub, allowing developers to examine the implementation directly, whereas they don’t do the same for ChatGPT or the Claude web interface. An official look inside the loop Bolin’s post focuses on what he calls “the agent loop,” which is the core… Read More »

OpenAI built an AI coding agent and uses it to improve the agent itself

Ed Bayes, a designer on the Codex team, described how the tool has changed his own workflow. Bayes said Codex now integrates with project management tools like Linear and communication platforms like Slack, allowing team members to assign coding tasks directly to the AI agent. “You can add Codex, and you can basically assign issues… Read More »

Google tells employees it must double capacity every 6 months to meet AI demand

While AI bubble talk fills the air these days, with fears of overinvestment that could pop at any time, something of a contradiction is brewing on the ground: Companies like Google and OpenAI can barely build infrastructure fast enough to fill their AI needs. During an all-hands meeting earlier this month, Google’s AI infrastructure head… Read More »

Meta’s star AI scientist Yann LeCun plans to leave for own startup

A different approach to AI LeCun founded Meta’s Fundamental AI Research lab, known as FAIR, in 2013 and has served as the company’s chief AI scientist ever since. He is one of three researchers who won the 2018 Turing Award for pioneering work on deep learning and convolutional neural networks. After leaving Meta, LeCun will… Read More »

Expert panel will determine AGI arrival in new Microsoft-OpenAI agreement

In May, OpenAI abandoned its plan to fully convert to a for-profit company after pressure from regulators and critics. The company instead shifted to a modified approach where the nonprofit board would retain control while converting its for-profit subsidiary into a public benefit corporation (PBC). What changed in the agreement The revised deal extends Microsoft’s… Read More »

Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5 matches May’s frontier model at fraction of cost

And speaking of cost, Haiku 4.5 is included for subscribers of the Claude web and app plans. Through the API (for developers), the small model is priced at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens. That compares to Sonnet 4.5 at $3 per million input and $15 per million output tokens,… Read More »

Nvidia sells tiny new computer that puts big AI on your desktop

For the OS, the Spark is an ARM-based system that runs Nvidia’s DGX OS, an Ubuntu Linux-based operating system built specifically for GPU processing. It comes with Nvidia’s AI software stack preinstalled, including CUDA libraries and the company’s NIM microservices. Prices for the DGX Spark start at US $3,999. That may seem like a lot,… Read More »
