anything worth doing is worth doing well

A friend of mine matched with guy on Tinder.

They scheduled a date on the 14th.

The guy just canceled it so that he can spend more time with Fable 5 right after this announcement.

There’s a reason I take so much pride in my work.

Designing NEO and telling its story is an attempt to do justice to some of the best engineering work in human history.

I am so lucky. I am so grateful for all the support.

[Bernt Bornich @BerntBornich]

Introducing NEO’s 25 Degrees of Freedom, tendon-driven hands — nearing or surpassing human-level dexterity, strength, speed, and reliability.

For seventy years, robotics worked around the hand problem. The humanoid bet is the reverse: it lives or dies at the fingertips.

Want to try GLM 5.2 in production but worried how it might change your product?

Don’t worry, we got you:

1. Install Inference Gateway (https://t.co/4bm9zThXUH)
2. Keep sending traffic to your current provider
3. Gateway automatically starts sorting through your live data using an RLM to generate evals for your app. This takes ~24 hours.
4. Gateway starts mirroring live traffic to GLM 5.2 to run evals. Traffic is only mirrored - you’re still using your old provider in prod.
5. Once evals look healthy, you get a Slack notification letting you know it’s safe to switch.
6. Switch model identifier in your code to “glm-5.2”

Congrats, you just saved 90% on your monthly token bill, and you own your LLM stack end to end.

GPT-5.6 Sol is our most capable model yet for cybersecurity.

It shifts the performance-efficiency frontier for long-horizon security tasks including vulnerability research and exploitation.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Sol is our new flagship and a step function better than GPT-5.5.

Terra delivers performance competitive to GPT-5.5 at 2x lower cost.

Luna is our most cost-efficient model, delivering strong capability at our lowest cost.

Together, the GPT-5.6 family gives people and developers more choice in how they balance intelligence, speed, and cost.

Water usage has been a hot topic in the AI data center world, but the numbers may surprise you.

According to the Manhattan Institute, data centers use 0.2 percent of daily water usage in the U.S. and that number has dramatically decreased in the past few years due to a new method: liquid cooling.

By moving to 45°C liquid cooling, AI factories in favorable climates can use dry coolers instead of conventional cooling-tower-based systems, cutting facility cooling water use from roughly 2.6M gallons per MW per year to near zero.

Liquid cooling enables AI factories to be both water and energy efficient, while creating opportunities for heat reuse and dispersal to local communities, allowing these factories to become energy grid assets.

[Harry Stabbings @harrystabbings]

Today we arrested a group of teens in Birmingham for their illegal use of Youtube.

Under the new social media ban under-16s are not permitted to access any platform without parental supervision.

They were watching cooking tutorials.

Sharing one phone between four of them.

Absolute madness.

One of them tried to argue it was educational content.

Educational.

As if that's a defence.

The law doesn't care what you're learning.

All four are being processed.

Parents notified.

Devices confiscated and they will be trialled as adults.

Britain is safer for it.

Uhhh… your memory is failing, my friend. And this was sent after the dinner, not before. Have the receipts. I don’t begrudge you in any way, but let’s be truthful.

We’re more than doubling penalties on ticket scalpers to $25,000 to put them on notice: If you break the law and rip people off, there will be consequences.

I have just filed a complaint with the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement against the City of Toronto for its apparent violation of section 2(3) of the Ticket Sales Act, after it admitted buying 3,500 World Cup tickets and scalping them for a profit

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.

A software engineer was granted a religious exemption from using AI at work. Legal experts say others may follow now that the Pope has raised concerns about the tech's impact on humanity. https://t.co/Cn2BvGc4xc

Fun fact: Canada's new AI Strategy includes the word 'indigenous' over 6 times more than 'GPU'
