GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new state of the art in cybersecurity on “The Last Ones” cyber range.

We’re already seeing that capability translate into defensive outcomes: helping teams find, validate, and fix vulnerabilities in real-world code.

Kimi CEO Zhilin Yang:

"Claude didn't win on reasoning - they bet everything on agents

but the layer everyone skips - a great agent needs a great base model, that's all we do at Kimi 3 "

in 90-min workshop he explains why the smartest agent still fails - if you can't configure it correctly

his one big idea: most people are still solving the old one

"the real goal? we want K2 to help build K3 - without agent skills, that's impossible"

Just shipped a new site for OrchestKit — an open-source AI development toolkit for Claude Code.

It brings production-ready patterns into your AI coding workflow with skills, agents, hooks, and full-stack coverage across React, FastAPI, LangGraph, RAG, security, testing, DevOps, and more. Basically, Claude Code doesn’t just help you write code — it starts with a real architecture playbook already in its head.

Today, we're announcing Factory 2.0: from coding agents to software factories.

Anthropic's Opus 4.7 and 4.8 models are experiencing degraded performance, which is causing a higher rate of failures for users selecting these models in Notion AI.

To mitigate impact, all Anthropic models have been disabled in the model picker and requests have been rerouted to alternative providers. Most users should now be able to continue using Notion AI with minimal disruption, though Anthropic-specific features remain unavailable.

Please refer to https://t.co/2jxfCbG6UZ for the details.

Ok, it’s probably about time we changed the game.

Stay tuned 👀

Andrej Karpathy spent 2h showing how he actually uses AI day to day

he's a co-founder of OpenAI and led AI at Tesla, so when he shows how he works, it’s worth watching

and the whole session is just him telling the machine what he wants in simple terms, like he's briefing a coworker

watch what's actually happening the entire time:

> he describes the task in normal words
> it goes off and does the work
> he glances at the result and nudges it with one more sentence

that's the whole skill, and you've had it since you learned to talk

the only gap between that and a worker that runs on its own is handing that sentence a schedule and the tools to act

check his work, then build the version that keeps working when you stop

The most comprehensive Hermes Desktop tutorial on the internet NOW is LIVE.

You'll learn sessions, profiles, artifacts, cost savings, and real use cases for making money and building startups with Hermes agents.

Whether you're already running Hermes or haven't started yet, this is the episode for you.

@AlexFinn says this is the moment Hermes overtakes OpenClaw. S/o to Alex for walking me through it.

"It's now the best way to use AI agents on your computer"

I do think the desktop app of Hermes looks almost like an Apple product.

Everything you need to know about Hermes Desktop App/agents in 43 minutes

This episode is 100% free. No ads. @startupideaspod

I just want to see you win on the internet. And I think Hermes can help.

Plus, It's fun thing to play with this weekend. Share this with a friend. Link below.

@HermesAversa @igoryuzo you must see it! @0xDeployer

I joined Y Combinator with 14 users, building a dev tool for myself.

Then @SaaiArora joined as CTO, and we started growing and shipping 2x faster. It forced us to rebuild product and infra from the ground up for teams, not solo devs.

We are ending the batch with >300k agent minutes per week, and teams like @mintlify, @knowunity, and @modaflows shipping through Replicas every day.

Today we're launching Replicas V2.

The OpenAI Foundation is doing a lot of wonderful things.

Helping society become resilient to AI is going to be incredibly important. Much more to come here!

[Nous Research @NousResearch]

The next evolution of Hermes Agent is here!

Introducing Hermes Desktop: everything you love about Hermes, now native on your machine.

First demoed in Jensen's GTC keynote, it's now in public preview.

Role-specific plugins in Codex are built around the work teams actually do.

Plugins for Data Analytics, Creative Production, and Product Design give Codex the tools and context to create reports, creative directions, and prototypes.

Built and used by OpenAI teams.

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.

An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.

This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.
