Zomg1, this seems too good to be true.

[Rahul @sairahul1]

Holy sh*t, developers are going to lose their minds over this.

Someone just open sourced a repo that gives you 800M free tokens a month across every major LLM.

GPT-4. Claude. Gemini. Llama. Mistral. All of them. Free. Right now.

It's called freellmapi and here's why it changes everything:

→ 800 million free tokens a month — no credit card, no API key
→ Every major model in one place — GPT-4, Claude 3, Gemini Ultra, Llama 3, Mistral
→ Open source, MIT license, drop-in replacement for paid API calls
→ Works with any existing codebase — swap your endpoint, keep your code
→ No usage dashboard, no overage warnings, no surprise billing

Most indie developers spend more on API costs than they earn from their product.

This repo just made that problem disappear.

AI companies have been charging a fortune while this existed.

100% open source. MIT license. 2K+ stars and climbing.

@Zai_org @jietang I read the tweet, got excited, then checked the timestamp. Sad face …

Rest in peace, Josh. Deepest condolences to his family.

[Bill Gurley @bgurley]

When I came back to Austin after almost 30 years, one of the first people to reach out and welcome me back was Josh. No one tilted harder as an enthusiastic supporter of Austin entrepreneurism. Will be greatly missed.

The moment we have been working towards has arrived. Beginning this week, billions of people around the world will turn their attention to the FIFA World Cup 2026™, and it fills me with great pride to say that @Lenovo is at the center of it all as the only Official Technology Partner.

When we began our partnership with FIFA nearly two years ago, we saw an extraordinary opportunity: let’s show the world Lenovo’s power as a full-stack technology leader. We knew we must bring real innovation – technology that improves the tournament, helps grow the game, creates better fan experiences, optimizes player performance, and most importantly, can be applied far beyond FIFA and the World Cup.

I am very proud to say that our teams have delivered. This is one of the most significant and ambitious initiatives Lenovo has ever undertaken. The next few weeks will be the best customer story we’ve ever told, and we get to tell it 104 times, at every match, by showing the breadth and depth of our portfolio. All services and solutions built for FIFA can be scaled, replicated, uniquely tailored and reconfigured for anyone in the world. We’ll show the strength of our innovation and the power of our teams to deliver for the world’s biggest sports moments.

Teams across Lenovo helped build the innovations and reliability that got us here. Now, as the tournament begins, our focus turns to execution. We have worked hard as One Lenovo to reach this moment. Now the world is watching, and Lenovo is ready.

Seems like a natural progression, especially since @finkd is a strong proponent of open source & @facebook has massive data center infra. I mean, why not vibe code w/on-device or Prometheus-hosted Llama4 & Muse Spark?

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

Am I the only one who is finding it hard to project where we will be in a few years, given that we are clearly no longer living in anything like a rational world?

Terence Tao: AI is creating a “traffic jam” in math

If AI generates more proofs than humans can verify, science needs new infrastructure. SAIR competitions build that infrastructure by surfacing high-quality results, so the best work is not lost in a flood of AI-generated math.

[Adam Helsinger @AdamHelsinger]

I had the same experience. Last year around this time I was talking to a lawyer who said he wouldn’t touch AI after learning about judges sanctioning lawyers for submitting AI generated briefs with hallucinations. When I suggested this use case he did a U-turn

[The Knowledge Project @TKPPodcast]

One of the most unique and effective ways I've heard about how to get people's attention during a demo.

Claude started talking to me in Matrix text this morning. I wonder if any FedEx or Amazon couriers will have white rabbit tattoos today.

The saying “I’ve forgot more than you’ll ever know” comes to mind.

I also think LLMs taking cross disciplinary perspectives will generate some exciting innovation.

[Thor Berger @bergerthor]

A lot of the debate on AI and science focuses on whether LLMs can generate *new* ideas. Yet 20–80% of existing papers are never cited and presumably not read. By digesting vast uncited literatures, LLMs may meaningfully advance knowledge simply by absorbing *old* ideas.

@Av1dlive Great video. By the way, that engineer is @dsp_

[Adam Helsinger @AdamHelsinger]

@GoodfireAI Are you seeing that concpets have similar geometries across different LLMs and SLMs, or between GPUs and TPUs?

NASA HAS RELEASED OVER 12,000 IMAGES OF THE ARTEMIS II MISSION.

Unbelievable perspectives captured by the Crew! The aurora on the eclipse is incredible.

[Adam Helsinger @AdamHelsinger]

@BradSmi @Microsoft This is reminiscent of the Wang Laboratories’ word processor disruption Christensen wrote about.
