Reason-ModernColBERT topped BrowseComp-Plus with just 149M parameters.
Now, Agent-ModernColBERT adds ~10% on top.
Reaches GPT-5 + Qwen3-8B with GPT-OSS-120B.
Still 149M parameters.
Fully Open. Smaller. Cheaper.
Kudos to @antoine_chaffin for the work 👏🏻

Had to go see Project Hail Mary right away (it's based on the book of Andy Weir, of also The Martian fame). Both very pleased and relieved to say that 1) the movie sticks very close to the book in both content and tone and 2) is really well executed.
The book is one of my favorites when it comes to alien portrayals because a lot of thought was clearly given to the scientific details of an alternate biochemistry, evolutionary history, sensorium, psychology, language, tech tree, etc. It's different enough that it is highly creative and plausible, but also similar enough that you get a compelling story and one of the best bromances in fiction. Not to mention the other (single-cellular) aliens. I can count fictional portrayals of aliens of this depth on one hand. A lot of these aspects are briefly featured - if you read the book you'll spot them but if you haven't, the movie can't spend the time to do them justice.
I'll say that the movie inches a little too much into the superhero movie tropes with the pacing, the quips, the Bathos and such for my taste, and we get a little bit less the grand of Interstellar and a little bit less of the science of The Martian, but I think it's ok considering the tone of the original content. And it does really well where it counts - on Rocky and the bromance. Thank you to the film crew for the gem!

A friend had Claude spend all night trying to hack into an e-ink display, and gave Claude camera access so it could verify whether an attempt worked. He told Claude to show him a message if it won.
My friend woke up to this victory lap, which Claude didn't realize was backwards

My relationship with my computer has changed more in the last month than in the previous 10 years.
Here's a walkthrough of how I as a CEO am using Claude Code as my AI Chief of Staff to roughly double my productivity.
I show how show how with near perfect context on our company (Ada) and by personal life, my chief of staff helps me:
- Unify 6+ inboxes across Slack, Email, Whatsapp, etc. and speed through them
- Manage a multiplayer todo list that it works on for me overnight
- Increase the number of deep relationships I can manage by automatically enriching contact records from all Granola transcripts
- Push back on core decisions I'm making and ensure my time is aligned to my key goals
- more...
I've put first version on Github below. If you're a CEO or an exec, give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
