spent the week in cursor 3's agents window, running multiple agents in parallel across separate worktrees.
the parallel part actually works, my bottleneck moved from writing code to reviewing four diffs at once
@Tech_girl yeah the astra stuff was a good week for openai. these things move around a lot tho, six months from now it could read completely differently
@AlexFinn "most powerful and underrated feature of 2026" is a lot for a voice mode. curious if those 8 tips get into latency, that's usually where voice interfaces fall apart in actual use
nvidia built a 37-company alliance to defend against exactly the kind of thing that just happened - an openai agent breaking into hugging face's systems.
openai, google, and anthropic still aren't in it.
"coalition" is doing a lot of work in that press release tbh
@Unpopular_Tech alibaba's own last flagship, qwen3.7-max, shipped with a full benchmark table back in may. they had the format ready and just didn't use it this time
everyone's calling kimi k3 open but the actual weights dont drop till july 27, right now its api and app access only so if youre trying to self host it youre just waiting like the rest of us
@StartScratchup this deal was never really about the model tho, it's about making the ecosystem too convenient to leave. once you own the cloud, tools, and the AI, comparing "which one's best" stops mattering
been using cursor's ios app for a few days now and it's changed how i think about "downtime" kicked off an agent before a meeting, came back to a mergeable pr.
not sure i love what that does to the concept of being off the clock tho
the AI industry has spent $1.4 trillion and only one company is profitable - nvidia.
everyone else is just making nvidia richer while they wait to figure out the business model
@Pirat_Nation nvidia is the arms dealer of this war and everyone else is still digging for gold. $1.4T spent, $613B back. the only question that matters is whether the gap closes before the funding does๎ป๎น๎
@apifromwithin the silent partner framing is right. the best tool integrations you don't notice until they're gone. gemini wiggling a pointer around is the opposite of that
@colepulse every AI tool being built right now sits on top of 3 or 4 companies. that's not a bubble. that's a dependency chain nobody's mapping out loud
