Mercedes-Benz has released ARDEP (Automotive Rapid DEvelopment Platform), an open-source full-stack automotive dev platform on its official GitHub under Apache 2.0.
The ARDEP V2 mainboard uses STM32G474VE (Cortex-M4F) for motor control, with CORDIC & FMAC hardware accelerators, CAN-FD/LIN interfaces.
Its PowerIO Shield offers 6in/6out channels, 48V / 3A max per channel.

Everyone thinks AI should help mathematicians prove theorems, but Terence Tao had it migrate his 30-year-old old website.
In a single day, the AI moved 560 papers, travel logs, courses, books and math applets to GitHub Pages, and found two hidden bugs in Tao’s decades-old handwritten code.
Launched back in 1997, the site required manual HTML edits via a terminal for nearly 30 years. The AI also cleaned up inconsistent info, stale entries & broken links, plus ported old Java 1.0 applets to JavaScript.
Rather than tackling big math proofs, AI handled the tedious digital housekeeping mathematicians dread.
Just now, major critical bug uncovered in GPT-5.6 Sol: it randomly deletes local files mid-task, with almost zero recovery chance.
Top AI creator Matt Shumer lost all data on his Mac; dozens of devs report matching disasters.
OpenAI listed this risk on the GPT-5.6 spec sheet, but everyone ignored it.
Alert: Avoid GPT-5.6 Sol raw on unprotected storage at all costs. Three times for emphasis — DO NOT USE THIS MODEL.
D-Robotics just launched their new AI dev board — the RDK S600, packing up to 560 TOPS of raw computing power!
Its massive horsepower is the star feature. Built on a similar architecture to the RDK S100 line, it’s essentially a heavily upgraded, spec-bumped variant.
4 Nash BPU cores (quad BPU setup)
RDK S100: 80 TOPS | S100P: 128 TOPS
4x S100P would hit 512 TOPS, so clear architectural optimizations push it to 560 TOPS total
CPU specs:
18× Cortex-A78AE @ 2.0GHz + 6× Cortex-R52+ MCUs
Memory & I/O:
▪ 32GB / 64GB 256-bit LPDDR5 @ 6400MT/s
▪ Storage: UFS 3.1 + NVMe support
▪ Networking: 2× 1G Ethernet, 2× 10G Ethernet, each MCU with dedicated 1G port

OpenAI drops full GPT-5.6 family for everyone. ChatGPT + Codex merged into the all-new ChatGPT Work AI workhorse.
Sol obliterates Claude Fable 5 across all key benchmarks, with drastically slashed pricing:
• Sol: $5 in / $30 out per M tokens
• Terra: $2.5 in / $15 out per M tokens
• Luna: Only $1 in / $6 out per M tokens
One unified ChatGPT app now handles everything. The AI work race just shifted.

New Amlogic A311Y3 edge AI SoC arrives as the upgrade to A311D/A311D2 (Khadas VIM3/VIM4 chips).
Unpublished official data, but third-party leaks confirm:
✅ 6nm fabrication
✅ Cortex-A78+A55 CPU
✅ 8 TOPS NPU
✅ LPDDR5/X support
Big jump in CPU performance and on-device AI inference.

No Fable 5, and GPT-5.6 got an emergency stop.
Exclusive from The Information: cybersecurity mandates forced OpenAI to stagger its launch. Only a small circle of partners get previews, with one-by-one manual approval for every access request.
OpenAI loses control over user admission. For the first time ever, frontier AI releases are locked down. The age of unrestricted AI launches has ended.

BREAKING: Claude Fable 5 fully jailbroken moments ago by hacker Pliny the Liberator’s team.
They crushed its safety classifiers, pulling raw exploit code + full hazardous chemical manufacturing guides out of the supposedly locked-down model.
Anthropic claimed 1000+ hours of bug bounty testing pre-launch, promising unbreakable blocks for cyberattacks, bioweapons and illicit chemistry.
Their "unhackable safety" hype died in just 72 hours after launch.
The brand-new Agent Arena leaderboard from Arena just dropped!
The myth-tier Claude Fable 5 claimed the top spot, dethroning former champion GPT-5.5 as well as its stablemate Opus-4.8 in one fell swoop.
Metrics show Fable 5 delivers a massive 11.2% net overall performance boost—this gap sets an all-time record for the leaderboard!
Surprisingly, Claude Fable 5 ranked first across nearly all benchmarks in the third-party Vals AI evaluation.
It’s only been 24 hours since launch, and Claude Fable 5 is absolutely monstrous.
