The Niño 1+2 Index near Peru and Ecuador has reached a remarkable, record-breaking 4.8°C above average, surpassing the record from 1983.
Ocean temperatures are forecast to surge toward 6°C above average during October.
There is no modern precedent for these conditions.
Unveiling our new startup Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs).
We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company.
We're hiring!

ex-Google and Meta distinguished engineer, Gemini co-author @_arohan_:
“if I had agentic coding and particularly opus, I would have saved myself first 6 years of my work compressed into few months.”
This matches my experience. AI collapses the learning curve, and turns junior engineers into senior engineers dramatically fast.
New-hire onboarding on large codebases shrinks from months to days. What used to take hours of Googling and Stack Overflow is now a single prompt. AI is also a good mentor and pair programmer. Agency is all you need now.
I'm not joking and this isn't funny. We have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. There are various options, not everyone is aligned... I gave Claude Code a description of the problem, it generated what we built last year in an hour.
I was inspired by this so I wanted to see if Claude Code can get into my Lutron home automation system.
- it found my Lutron controllers on the local wifi network
- checked for open ports, connected, got some metadata and identified the devices and their firmware
- searched the internet, found the pdf for my system
- instructed me on what button to press to pair and get the certificates
- it connected to the system and found all the home devices (lights, shades, HVAC temperature control, motion sensors etc.)
- it turned on and off my kitchen lights to check that things are working (lol!)
I am now vibe coding the home automation master command center, the potential is 🔥.And I'm throwing away the crappy, janky, slow Lutron iOS app I've been using so far. Insanely fun :D :D
I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.
It's not that AI Agents are bad; it's just that a lot of people have the wrong expectations of what an LLM and AI agents can do.
Ground those expectations; understand capabilities through experimentation.
There is no silver bullet. Experiment, build, and iterate!
wtf.. this is mindblowing..
GoogleDeepMind just dropped Genie 3
you can generate interactive 3D world with text, navigate with keys and.. interact in real time.. AI is crazy
10 examples:
1. navigate to a car and open the door.. omg
Wait so Alibaba Qwen has just released ANOTHER model??
Qwen3-Coder is simply one of the best coding model we've ever seen.
→ Still 100% open source
→ Up to 1M context window 🔥
→ 35B active parameters
→ Same performance as Sonnet 4
They're releasing a CLI tool as well ↓
Anthropic just dropped a $3T nuke on every AI company.
They've officially joined forces with Apple.
Their plan?
Steal the one thing OpenAI, Google, and Grok desperately need.
Here's how two tech titans just outplayed the entire AI industry:
Meet HopeJr, a full humanoid robot lowering the barrier to entry!
Capable of walking, manipulating many objects, open-source and costs under $3000 🤯
Designed by @therobotstudio and @huggingface 👇
Meet Opera Neon, a browser for the agentic web
Opera Neon can browse with you or for you, take action & help you get things done.
Our playground to redefine what a browser can be.

Super happy to announce that we are acquiring @pollenrobotics to bring open-source robots to the world! 🤖
Since @RemiCadene joined us from Tesla, we’ve become the most widely used software platform for open robotics thanks to @LeRobotHF and the Hugging Face Hub. Now, we’re taking it a step further by teaming up with Pollen, who is one of the only company in the world that actually ships open-source humanoid robots!
The first robot we’re offering is Reachy 2 — your friendly little lab partner for the AI era that is already in use in labs like Cornell or Carnegie Mellon. It’s a state-of-the-art humanoid robot that is open-source & VR-compatible, built for research, education, and embodied AI experiments. You can already order one for $70,000 by emailing [email protected].
We believe robotics could be the next interface for AI — and it should be open, affordable, and hackable. Our vision: a future where everyone from the community can build and control their own robot companions instead of relying on closed, expensive black boxes.
Let’s go open robotics 💪🤖
We have a small gift for the open-source community: RolmOCR, a new OCR model for complex document processing!
We at @reductoai trained a Qwen2.5-VL-7B model (by @Alibaba_Qwen ) using the amazing olmOCR dataset by @allen_ai earlier this year. As a result, we have RolmOCR - a slightly faster, maybe slightly better model under Apache 2.0 License.
