AMD on local AI:
"this is the smallest AI development system in the world, capable of running models up to 200 billion parameters locally, not connected to anything"
128GB of unified memory shared by CPU, GPU, and NPU fits in your hand.
Runs a model larger than GPT-3 with no internet
$3,999 once. roughly $16 a month in power
Cloud equivalent: up to $750 a month
The question was never whether local AI could compete on power
It was whether it could compete on price. Now it does
Visa embedded its entire payment network inside ChatGPT. not a specific store. not a handful of merchants.
The AI agent doesn't just recommend the headphones anymore. it buys them.
This is the same ChatGPT that the OpenAI superapp announcement described as moving toward "persistent desktop access," always on, reading your screen, browsing on your behalf.
The same platform where every prompt is stored for 30 days with no opt-out.
The same company, whose previous shopping feature, Instant Checkout, was retired in March because it was prone to errors and merchants didn't trust it.
Three months later: Visa's entire network.
OpenAI's head of commerce said agents will eventually complete transactions "without users manually checking out every time."
Visa's chief strategy officer said "imagine you do that a thousand times."
a thousand transactions. initiated by an AI. on your card. without you clicking buy.
The guardrails: spending limits you set yourself. merchant restrictions you define. approval steps that Visa expects "most early transactions" to include.
🚨 SCIENTISTS DISCOVER SOMETHING HIDDEN IN SAGE SMOKE
For generations, sage has been burned in traditional ceremonies. Now, research suggests the smoke may do more than create a calming atmosphere. Studies found that burning certain medicinal plants can reduce airborne bacteria by up to 94% in enclosed spaces.
The secret lies in natural antimicrobial compounds released into the air. Could ancient traditions have uncovered a form of air purification long before modern science understood it?
Sometimes the oldest practices hide the most surprising discoveries.

As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.
Here’s what this means for you:
Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.
On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.
We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.
🚨 BREAKING
🇯🇵 JAPAN WILL HIKE RATES TO 1.00% TOMORROW AT 11 PM ET, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 31 YEARS!
ODDS ON PREDICTION MARKETS ARE NOW AT 99%.
HISTORICALLY, EVERY RATE HIKE IN JAPAN HAS BEEN FOLLOWED BY A 20%+ DUMP IN $BTC.
THIS WOULD BE REALLY BAD FOR MARKETS...
DSX (DualSenseX) has added full native virtual DualSense support with wireless haptics and audio over Bluetooth, something many users have wanted since Sony’s advanced haptics were traditionally limited to USB connections.
- Adaptive triggers and advanced haptics over Bluetooth
- Wireless audio + haptics simultaneously
- Native virtual DualSense support
- Various app improvements and fixes
- Better compatibility with games that support DualSense features
If pharmaceutical companies cured you, they'd go bankrupt.
if banks helped you get out of debt, they'd collapse.
if politicians actually solved all your problems, nobody would elect them again.
If Tom kills Jerry the show is over.
It's all a big show.
Everything is fake.
AMD CEO Lisa Su just killed Nvidia’s $4,000 AI box with a $1,499 lunchbox.
She walked on stage, held it in one hand, and ran a 235 billion parameter model live. No data center. No cloud. No rented GPU.
The chip inside is something nobody saw coming. AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is the first x86 silicon where CPU and GPU share the same 128GB of memory. That single trick lets a desktop run models that used to need a server rack.
Out of those 128GB, Linux hands the GPU 110GB to play with. For context, an RTX 5090 gives you 32GB. A 4090 gives you 24. This box gives you more than three times either of them, in a chassis the size of a thick paperback.
The benchmark that broke the room: this chip beat an Nvidia RTX 5080 by more than 3x on DeepSeek R1 inference. A $1,499 lunchbox outrunning a $1,000 discrete graphics card on a real AI workload. Nvidia spent a decade convincing the world you needed their hardware for serious AI. AMD just put that on a desk for half the price.
Here is what nobody is telling you. A heavy AI user right now pays $200 for Claude Code Max, $200 for ChatGPT Pro, $20 for Cursor, $20 for Gemini. That is $5,280 a year leaving your account. The box pays itself off in 9 months and then runs free for the rest of its life.
Install Ollama. Pull Qwen3 235B. Point Claude Code at localhost. Same interface you already use, except now nothing leaves your machine, nothing costs per request, and no company throttles your usage at 3am when you finally have time to build.
This is the moment every AI subscription becomes optional. Lawyers stop fearing OpenAI leaks. Developers stop watching the token meter. Founders stop renting H100s for prototypes that never ship because the bill scared them.
The first thousand people to figure this out will own the next two years of private AI consulting.
Save this, and read the full breakdown article below you are watching the next shift hit before everyone else does.
🚨BREAKING: The U.S government gave Anthropic 90 minutes to shut down Fable and Mythos
“Amazon AND others” called senior administration officials to warn about models’ capabilities
Then:
1:00pm: Government calls. “Take it down.”
Cites “national security threat.” No details.
Anthropic asks what the threat is so they can fix it.
Government said NO.
5:30pm: Commerce letter arrives with export controls.
You have 90 minutes…
