AI…disaster-response drones to explainable visual AI and intelligent security systems. 🎥 Watch the showcase → 📖 Read the full recap →

AIDevin is retiring its Core and Team plans for a new lineup of Free, Pro at $20/month, Max at $200/month, Teams with usage-based billing and an $80/month minimum, and custom-priced Enterprise. Ask Devin's Deep Mode, Devin Review after a 2-week free trial, and higher-quality DeepWiki generation will move to usage-based billing, with DeepWiki's existing generation and open-source Devin Review remaining free. Self-serve usage beyond included quota will be billed in dollars rather than ACUs.

AIThinking Machines has welcomed Luke Drago and @LRudL_, who co-founded Workshop Labs to build AI that keeps humans relevant. Mira Murati says they will continue that mission at Thinking Machines, which builds powerful AI systems that think alongside humans and extend human agency. She ties the hire to the company's broader work, including Tinker, research grants, and advancing the frontier.

AICognition is expanding into Japan, its first step into Asia, and has appointed Takumi Masai as Japan President and General Manager to lead a local team working with Japanese enterprises. DeNA has used Devin to more than double operational efficiency across multiple engineering functions, and Mizuho Securities has deployed it as one of the first large-scale financial institutions in Japan.

AIAnthropic is not releasing Mythos Preview to general availability. Instead, it is giving defenders early, controlled access so they can find and patch vulnerabilities before Mythos-class models spread across the ecosystem.

AIDario Amodei says the company has tracked growing cyber capabilities in AI models for years, which arise from their general coding proficiency. He states that the new model, Mythos Preview, represents a particularly large step up in those capabilities.

AIDario Amodei said many of the world's leading companies have joined Project Glasswing, an effort to address cyber threats posed by increasingly capable AI systems. The initiative was introduced by Anthropic and is powered by its newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which the quoted post says can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans.

Why it matters: The post gives a concrete example of how a frontier AI lab is organizing industry partners around AI-driven software vulnerability discovery.

AI…fractions of a second at lower cost—and leveraging Trainium3 to train the AI models that make every ride smarter over time. Built our own chips to deliver better price-performance for customers, and excited to see Uber use them to scale and innovate quickly.

AIOpenAI announced applications for its Safety Fellowship, a pilot program supporting external researchers, engineers, and practitioners in safety and alignment research on advanced AI systems. The program runs from September 14, 2026 through February 5, 2027, with a monthly stipend, compute support, API credits, and mentorship, and fellows are expected to produce a substantial output such as a paper, benchmark, or dataset. Applications close May 3, and successful applicants will be notified by July 25.

AIDespite all the resources at my disposal and an incredible support system, I still couldn’t avoid a medical leave. We need better solutions for all patients, now.

AICarbon and cost are the similar signal. The new AWS Sustainability console puts emissions data in the right hands, without exposing billing data. Measure it like it matters.

AIThese commits were essentially all AI. Since they have their own computer, cloud agents run the code themselves and little human intervention is required. Pretty cool!

AIAman Sanger says Cursor's team evaluated many base models on perplexity-based evals and found Kimi k2.5 the strongest. Composer 2 was then built with continued pretraining and a 4x scale-up of high-compute RL, with Fireworks providing inference and RL samplers. The author admits Cursor should have named the Kimi base in its launch blog and says it will do so for the next model.

AITogether, we’re working to deploy at least 1GW of Vera Rubin systems, bringing adaptable collaborative AI to everyone.

AITaking highly technical and capable researchers like this and giving them a chance to be at the frontier to make tons of impact for Gemini has been one of the most rewarding things of founding & building GDM in SG.

AIMckay Wrigley reposted a statement from @SecWar accusing Anthropic of refusing the Department of War unrestricted access to its models for lawful purposes. The quoted statement directs the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security, bars contractors from commercial activity with Anthropic, and allows Anthropic services for no more than six months. The author's own added text says only that he finds the situation horrifying and supports Anthropic.

Why it matters: The quoted statement is a direct government action against a named AI lab, giving readers a primary-source view of a dispute over military access to AI models.

AIIn the future, there will be much more challenging situations of this nature, and it will be critical for the relevant leaders to rise up to the occasion, for fierce competitors to put their differences aside. Good to see that happen today.

AIThe part I love most is seeing how differently people use it. For a lot of people, ChatGPT is where they start with AI – writing, building, doing research, planning trips, shopping, or getting tasks done. As more people use ChatGPT, we learn faster too. That shows up in the product: quicker responses, better reliability, and answers that feel more natural. Thanks for helping us continue to make ChatGPT even better.

AIai allows us to raise our ambitions. but as the technology advances, as a country we should never lower our standards. let freedom ring. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

AIOur Segment Anything Model (SAM) is being used to identify minute changes in water conditions from satellite images—we hope this faster analysis can contribute to better rapid response and keep communities safer.

AIAletheia, a math research agent, autonomously solved 6 of 10 FirstProof problems without modification, the best result in the inaugural challenge. The author says this is bigger than the IMO-gold achievement from last year, and the results were evaluated by experts with best-of-2 scoring.

AIQuoc Le announced that Aletheia, a math research agent, autonomously solved 6 of 10 FirstProof problems, the best result in the inaugural challenge. The post says this exceeds last year's IMO-gold achievement and points to a paper and thread for full details. The accompanying figure shows 10 unmodified problems, 6 candidate solutions per agent, and expert evaluation yielding 6 solved problems on a best-of-2 basis.

AIReplit launched a $100/month Pro plan with Turbo Mode, pooled credits for up to 15 builders, and priority support, while cutting Core from $25 to $20 per month and letting it invite up to 5 collaborators. The Teams plan is being sunset, with Teams users automatically upgraded to Pro at no additional cost for the rest of their term. Economy and Power Modes for Agent are available on all paid plans.

AIBenedict Evans argues that OpenAI lacks a clear competitive lead, since frontier models are close in capability and its user base shows shallow engagement. He contends that its capex-heavy platform strategy does not yet create the network effects that powered Windows or iOS, leaving execution as the main advantage.

AI…problem 2 above is likely incorrect. Grateful for the engagement and looking forward to continued review!

AIOne-way ticket back to California 🌞! I'm incredibly excited to return to the Bay Area to continue building Gemini and pushing us toward the age of AGI 🚀

AIOpus'd Quoted post (@simonw): Claude Code's run-rate revenue has grown past $2.5 billion, more than doubling since the start of 2026. Weekly active Claude Code users have also doubled since January 1. Doubled in 6 weeks! Or is that a bit of a cheat due to holidays?

AIYi Tay introduces Aletheia, a math research agent powered by an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think. The post says it produced two publishable papers, one fully automatic and one human-AI collaboration, and solved multiple open Erdős problems. The attached image shows a Google DeepMind paper titled "Towards Autonomous Mathematics Research" with a generator, verifier, and reviser loop.
