Many AI startups differ only by a prompt and a UI. Their product, pricing, and performance can depend heavily on decisions made by the model provider.

GPT-5.6 Tera has officially reached human-level intelligence. It knows how to look busy while doing absolutely nothing. I just wasted 45 minutes waiting for it to finish a task it never started.

@sama @sama Please fix agent transparency. When waiting, say waiting. When stalled, say stalled. When idle, say idle. Giving the illusion of work without doing work is worse than failing outright. @OpenAI

Everyone has the same tools now. Judgment is the difference.

@steipete I would score how candidates break down the problem, use AI effectively, manage context and tokens efficiently, verify AI's output, debug issues, make design decisions and explain their reasoning.

Really excited to see this. I wrote a deep dive on x402 back in February because I felt machine-to-machine payments would become increasingly important as AI agents became more capable. Great to see Cloudflare helping bring it into the mainstream.

We're opening the waitlist for our Monetization Gateway, which will allow you to charge for any web page, dataset, API, or MCP tool behind Cloudflare. The charges will settle in stablecoins over the x402 open protocol. https://t.co/pvICtEIixj

Feels like we are paying more per token for Fable while getting more guardrails and more fallbacks, which ends up hurting the overall quality. @AnthropicAI

Maharashtra has amended the MPID Act to include crypto and other Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) in financial fraud recovery.

Authorities can now legally attach, liquidate, and use seized crypto assets to compensate victims.

A notable step for crypto enforcement in India.

Today we announced Open USD together with Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, BlackRock, BBVA, Shopify, DoorDash, and 140+ other partners.

Much like the mobile industry needed Android, financial services needs Open USD to scale stablecoin adoption.

The stablecoin space has come a long way since we started Bridge nearly 5 years ago. Total volume is now approaching that of the ACH network and nearly every major financial institution from banks to fintechs is leaning in.

But cost and governance have limited utility and put core payments use cases out of reach. Businesses need a stablecoin that's open, low-cost, high-throughput, broadly accessible, and aligned to their interests.

We'll be launching later this year.

@Kalshi so now we can rent out our brains too? hope they pay per thought not per hour.

Woke up in London to all the conversation of Chinese Cybersecurity models getting to Mythos like ability with agent swarms. Swarms that can explore vulnerabilites, determine attack paths and potential fixes in addition to persistent red teaming.

Happened just under 3 months, faster than my optimistic estimate. Expect that in a few weeks there will be more widespread capability. Highly likely that we will get US models released from bans faster with a promise of better hygiene.

What does it mean for the rest.
1. Test your own code!
2. Validate your vendors, ensure they are doing the same.
3. Start evaluating direct and virtual patching approaches to ensure open source is protected.

From a longer term perspective, we will need to ensure better security posture, no, no misconfigurations, robust platform products which can react swiftly, and a culture of constantly testing the enterprise with the most recent tools out there.

@Polymarket @LynAldenContact everyone was measured on AI adoption. Now they will be measured on AI efficiency.
