this is pure f*cking treasure
A Stanford AI research group found how to orchestrate Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol together, and it completely breaks the search scaffolding wall
most developers try to combine frontier models by chaining prompts in one context window or hardcoding rigid evolutionary loops. you burn tokens on context bloat and freeze models into fixed search rules that out-date themselves within 5 iterations
Stanford's architecture eliminates human-designed search scaffolding and splits the cognitive stack:
> search director: Claude Opus 5.5 plans the search, querying a persistent idea-graph where MAP-Elites and MCTS reduce to single Cypher queries
> candidate proposer: GPT-6.1 Sol explores high-entropy code variations inside isolated execution sandboxes
> zero context bleeding: sessions reset after each iteration to prevent prompt bloat while the graph stores lineage
> evaluator isolation: candidate code never touches the scoring process, stopping reward hacking and test leakage cold
> meta-agent distillation: an offline meta-pass extracts verified lessons and updates search guidance across branches
the benchmark metrics outclass standard discovery baselines:
> 3.2x lower model spend than fixed evolutionary frameworks
> 1st place rank across 7 competitive AtCoder heuristic contests against human competitors
> beats published SOTA on Anthropic kernel builder and 11 mathematical optimization tasks
> 0% reward hacks: candidate-controlled metric tampering eliminated
Opus directs the search graph. Sol explores the code
you stop writing rigid search harnesses. you let frontier models own the discovery loop
Stanford just published their autumn 2025 AI: Principles and Techniques course on YouTube. It's ~20 hours of lectures that you can watch right now or skip if you find them too boring.

This 2 hour Stanford lecture on AI careers will teach you more about winning in the AI race than every piece of AI content you have scrolled past this year.
Bookmark this & give it 2 hours, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you could do this weekend.
Our Sakatti mine in Lapland looks as if it isn’t far from Santa’s workshop, and this snowy landscape feels like the perfect festive setting.
But it’s also a reminder that Christmas is about more than just the seasonal snow – it’s about people and the connections we share. These connections are what inspire us to re-imagine mining to improve people’s lives.
We wish everyone connected to our business a Merry Christmas and a happy festive period!

Anglo American has launched H2 Moves Europe, a new initiative to increase awareness of the role of hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles (#FCEVs) within a decarbonised mobility mix.
New #hydrogen fleets operating in Paris and Brussels in partnership with Hype, official taxi supporter of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, will join those already operating in Berlin with Safe Driver ENNOO and Toyota Germany.

I've just noticed that Microsoft has added AI image editing options in Windows
You can remove any element from an image and the generative AI will fill in.
It works natively and for free with the default Photos app:
AI dubbing is getting scary good
