The story so far: In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has widely been regarded as a bad move...

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Our internal assessment is that Grok 4.5 is roughly comparable to Opus 4.7, but much faster. The combination of capability, faster speed and lower cost is what makes it competitive.

We are closing the loop on real-world usefulness, not benchmarks. Hardcore engineers at Tesla & SpaceX find Grok 4.5 genuinely useful, which is what actually matters.

[BONK!!! @bonk_inu]

BonkDAO was the target of a malicious governance proposal resulting in an estimated $20M worth of BONK tokens being drained from the BonkDAO treasury.

During the investigation, BonkDAO identified the exchange wallets used to purchase BONK ahead of the proposal. BonkDAO is currently actively working with exchanges, bridges and Solana Foundation to best manage the situation.

Law enforcement has been notified. BonkDAO continues to work with relevant parties to recover funds and identify those responsible.

We're opening the waitlist for our Monetization Gateway, which will allow you to charge for any web page, dataset, API, or MCP tool behind Cloudflare. The charges will settle in stablecoins over the x402 open protocol. https://t.co/pvICtEIixj

Noam left Google in 2021 because corp management blocked the public release of the conversational chatbot he had built, Meena.

This is before ChatGPT, btw.

It’s probably the biggest mistake Google has ever made.

One can only imagine what’s happening this time around.

GeoLibre v1.2.0 is here!

GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. One application that runs everywhere: in your web browser, as a native desktop app, on your phone, and inside a Jupyter notebook. No account, no server, no cost. Everything runs locally and your data stays private.

This release packs in 35+ pull requests of new capabilities. A few highlights:

- Run SQL right in the browser. The SQL Workspace pairs DuckDB Spatial with a new in-browser PostGIS engine (PGlite), so you can query layers, local files, and remote URLs without a server.
- A smarter attribute table. Add fields, run a field calculator, and explore your data with a built-in Charts panel (histogram, scatter, bar, line, and box plots).
- More ways to add data. OpenStreetMap PBF extracts, Cloud-Optimized NetCDF/HDF via kerchunk, georeferenced video overlays, authenticated 3D Tiles, and a https://t.co/Iu3zs18eJk Layer builder for custom overlays.
- Better visualization. Heatmap rendering, point clustering, and H3 hexagonal grids for spatial binning.
- New analysis and routing. A Directions plugin, plus Spatial Join, Select by Value, and Select by Location vector tools.
- Print and share. A print layout composer that exports your map to PNG or PDF.
- Work faster. A command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + K), global keyboard shortcuts, and undo/redo for layer and style operations.
- Built for everyone. New internationalization framework, an accessibility pass with automated axe checks, an installable offline-capable PWA web build, React error boundaries, and Playwright end-to-end tests.

Prepare for takeoff. ✈️ Flight simulator is now available globally on web to all users. https://t.co/hQP0No142P

We've recently added many our most powerful professional desktop features to web. Elevation profiles, new import types, but there's always been one other feature you've been asking us to add to the web version of Google Earth, just for fun...

Where will you fly? Share your best maneuvers, views, and flyovers with us!

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

… we’ve determined the appropriate path forward is to not pay the ransom. 

As part of Grafana Labs’ standard security practices, we will share additional information from our post-incident review when our investigations are complete. (6/6)

[Will Marshall @Will4Planet]

Today we announced Planet SuperRes, a breakthrough tech that uses AI to uplevel our PlanetScope near-daily imagery from 3 m to a much sharper 2 m resolution. 🛰️

Really cool things done by our team to make this happen. The model was trained on over 120,000 SkySat and PlanetScope satellite image pairs. We can now see things we couldn’t before -- making small-scale objects and textures visible for analysis.

Better data helps us make better decisions. https://t.co/D7FgMUwR8C

[Gaurab Chakrabarti @Gaurab]

You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.
