DeepSeek should ban Anthropic from implementing Dspark into their models! In fact, Anthropic should be banned from using any AI research from China and required to remove any non-US data they used to pre-train their models! Cry, Dario, cry!😅

Stop waiting if you can afford it now. We're comically underestimating how bad the market is about to become

Introducing a limited preview of GPT-5.6 Sol, our next generation frontier model, as well as GPT-5.6 Terra, a balanced model for efficient, everyday work, and GPT-5.6 Luna, a fast and affordable model for high-volume work.

[Sam Altman @sama]

Good new first: Sol is a smart, efficient, and a significant step forward. It is the same price as GPT-5.5. Also launching in the GPT-5.6 family is Terra, with 5.5-level performance at half the price.

Bad news: at the request of the US government, it is launching today in limited preview instead of the open access launch we were planning on. We are working with the government to get to general availability as fast as we can.

I think it is quite reasonable to roll out models--especially as they reach significant new levels of capability--in this way. It fits with our long-held strategy of iterative deployment. But this isn't quite the process that we think is optimal.

Now we will with the government to attempt to get to a transparent, reliable process for early access, and to ensure that as long as our safeguards work as intended we can release widely. We want to be a reliable, dependable partner that works with all stakeholders, and we also want to live by our mission of benefiting all of humanity. I believe the government shares most of our goals, and that they are overall doing a good job in a very difficult situation.

We will work as quickly as we can to get this model in your hands and we hope you will love it.

I don't think people realize just what a joke modern software is.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’ve designed and built our first AI chip: Jalapeño.

Designed from the ground up by OpenAI and brought to production with @Broadcom, Jalapeño is purpose-built for the LLM workloads powering ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic products.

Chips are foundational to the AI economy. Building our own expands our full-stack platform from products to models to infrastructure, and will help us scale intelligence, serve more people, and expand access to AI.

We want to help all companies be secure, working with the USG and the security ecosystem.

*The full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber is here; state of the art performance on CyberGym.

*Patch The Planet and Codex Security will help solve security problems instead of just finding them.

[Louis Gleeson @aigleeson]

A Danish engineer dropped out of university in 1979, wrote a Pascal compiler so fast it made Borland a hundred-million-dollar company, then built the language that became the backbone of Microsoft's entire software ecosystem, then built TypeScript, which became the number one language on GitHub in 2025 and most developers who use his work every day have never heard his name.

His name is Anders Hejlsberg.

He was born in Copenhagen in 1960, started studying engineering at the Technical University of Denmark in 1979, and left before finishing his degree because he was already building something more interesting than anything his courses could offer.

He had access to a minicomputer at his high school, one of the first in Denmark to have one. He taught himself machine code, Algol, and Pascal.

By the time he was supposed to be finishing his degree, he had already written a Pascal compiler from scratch for the Nascom-2 microcomputer. He released it under the name Blue Label Pascal.

A small Danish software company called PolyData picked it up. Borland, the American developer tools company, found it and saw immediately what they had. They licensed the compiler, brought Hejlsberg to California, and in November 1983 released it as Turbo Pascal.

The price was $49.95. At the time, most Pascal compilers cost hundreds of dollars and ran slowly. Turbo Pascal was cheap and compiled code so fast that developers could not believe it was real. One reviewer read the speed claims on the box, assumed they were marketing fiction, tested it, and then wrote that he had never seen anything like it.

The product sold over one million copies. Borland became a serious company almost overnight, and Hejlsberg was the reason.

He kept building. He became chief architect of Delphi in 1995, Borland's rapid application development environment built on Object Pascal. Delphi let Windows developers build full graphical applications faster than anything else available.

It dominated enterprise Windows development through the mid-1990s. Teams that used it could ship in weeks what their competitors took months to build.

Microsoft noticed. In 1996 they made him an offer. He left Borland and joined Microsoft, and the project they handed him was the one that would define the next decade of enterprise software.

He designed C#.

Released in 2000 alongside the .NET Framework, C# was built to be modern in ways Java was not. Clean object orientation. Garbage collection. Strong typing.

A syntax familiar enough that Java and C++ developers could pick it up quickly but designed without the legacy decisions those languages had accumulated over decades. Hejlsberg later said one of his goals was to make the language feel inevitable, as if every decision was the only sensible one.

It worked. C# became the primary language of Microsoft's entire development platform. It powers enterprise applications, game development through Unity, cloud services on Azure, and Windows applications across hundreds of millions of machines. Around 6.2 million developers write C# professionally today.

Then he did it again.

By 2010, JavaScript had become unavoidable. Every web application ran on it. But JavaScript had been designed in ten days in 1995 for simple browser scripting, not for building complex systems with large teams. As codebases grew to hundreds of thousands of lines, the lack of a type system meant bugs that a compiler would have caught in any other language were only discovered in production.

Hejlsberg saw the problem clearly and spent two years designing a solution.

TypeScript launched in 2012 as an open-source typed superset of JavaScript. You write TypeScript, and it compiles down to plain JavaScript. The type system catches errors before the code runs. Large teams can work on the same codebase without breaking each other's code. Every major JavaScript framework adopted it. Google, Airbnb, Slack, and Microsoft all moved their codebases to TypeScript.

In August 2025, TypeScript overtook Python and JavaScript to become the number one language on GitHub by monthly contributors.

He is 65 years old. He is still at Microsoft as a Technical Fellow. He is still working on TypeScript.

Four languages. Four decades. Turbo Pascal made developer tools affordable and fast. Delphi made Windows application development accessible. C# became the backbone of enterprise software. TypeScript became the dominant language of the modern web.

Most of the developers using his work right now are too young to know what Turbo Pascal was. They learned to code in languages that borrowed from C#. They write TypeScript every day without knowing who designed it.

He dropped out of university in 1979 to build a compiler.

He has not stopped since.

Unless I’m working in an ER, working as a paramedic, or working as a firefighter, there’s no reason I should be expected to “thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.” Just fix the terrible management and stop running your office like a circus.
