I prefer this tone to fake marketing speak. If they’d done a proper job here they’d be accused of having GPT write it. At least this is organic laziness!

Anthropic is at least a Public Benefit Corporation, and likely the first serious test of how useful that distinction is for a hyperscale company building a product with potentially huge societal downsides.

The risk here is severely overblown. Low earth orbit is self-cleaning with atmospheric drag. There’s comparatively little in MEO and even in a catastrophic Kessler syndrome scenario it’s still safe to transit through. Polluting higher orbit

Are they? I don't see them in the Model Catalog on Bedrock.

Collect and sell data would be my guess. Without ZDR by default they are in a position to collect a crazy amount of data that I’m sure various buyers would be interested in (not just the big labs).

Letting the model write your commits is the next step in vibe coding. I haven’t taken it yet either.

For Python backends I've seen good success with just making it company policy that everything is synchronous (normal-colored) and bypassing the developer overhead from async/await. Cooperative multitasking is a pain because, well,

> Say F9 is $20M and Starship once it starts launching Starlink is $10M that's 150-300+ launches just to break even. Assuming they deliver the same payload, sure, but that’s very much not the plan.

Andrew Ng has been investing in AI startups for almost a decade, I would be very surprised if this rising tide left him behind.

Learned this one the hard way during the last major CloudFlare outage. I don't use them, but their outage bricked my app for hours anyway because the Auth0 public keys used to verify JWTs were served behind CloudFlare, breaking the ent

On the OpenAI side, GPT-5.5 generates spend at a prolific rate that's even faster if you use it through an ACP connection in a tool like Zed. I used to never think about Codex rate limits and now I'm hitting mine every 5 hour bloc

True, and they're being tried in a federal court of law for it. NYT v. OpenAI is still very much alive, these things just take a while. Can the same be said about DeepSeek or any other open-source model provider performing distillation

Since it's open weights it'll be available on AWS Bedrock soon(ish), likely at a higher price than the official API but still coming in under those GPT-5-mini prices.

Depends on who's making the call for who gets cut. A key part of decimation was that the doomed soldiers were beaten to death by their comrades to give the remaining 9 a bloody, lasting impression of their dishonor. If Meta makes every

Yes, once benchmarks get saturated they get replaced by harder ones. You don’t see GSM8K, MMLU, or HellaSwag anymore because they’re essentially solved. It takes constant work to make benchmarks hard enough to show meaningful model performa

Truly. People are calling for Palantir employees to be targeted by foreign militaries right here in this comments section! I'll ride this thread with you to the bottom of the page.

Wouldn't surprise me. The best model you can get on AWS GovCloud is still Claude Sonnet 4.5.

If you're trying to run repeatable workflows, stability from not changing the model can outweigh the benefits of a smarter new model. The cost can also change dramatically: on top of the higher token costs for Gemini Pro ($1.25/mt

It's frustrating how cavalier they are about killing old Gemini releases. My read is that once a new model is serving >90% of volume, which happens pretty quickly as most tools will just run the latest+greatest model, the standard G

The impact of a few more network calls and decreased privacy is basically never felt by users beyond this abstract "they're spying on me" realization. The impact of this telemetry for a product development team is material. N

Apple has an enormous global footprint. Their devices are made in China, India, and Vietnam, and source parts from basically everywhere. More than half of Apple's revenue comes from outside the US and there are 1.5 billion iPhones in u
