Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks
Depression dropped. Anxiety dropped. Happiness went up. Women under 25 on Instagram saw the biggest gains
That was 6 weeks. I'm going a full year.
Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.5—the best coding model in the world.
It's the strongest model for building complex agents. It's the best model at using computers. And it shows substantial gains on tests of reasoning and math.
DeepMind reveals Genie 3. First real-time interactive general purpose world model. Wow, crazy potential for unlocking a lot of new use cases! Educational, entertainment, etc https://t.co/eCXD9M0UCP
Introducing our first set of Llama 4 models!
We’ve been hard at work doing a complete re-design of the Llama series. I’m so excited to share it with the world today and mark another major milestone for the Llama herd as we release the *first* open source models in the Llama 4 collection 🦙. Here are some highlights:
📌 The Llama series have been re-designed to use state of the art mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture and natively trained with multimodality. We’re dropping Llama 4 Scout & Llama 4 Maverick, and previewing Llama 4 Behemoth.
📌 Llama 4 Scout is highest performing small model with 17B activated parameters with 16 experts. It’s crazy fast, natively multimodal, and very smart. It achieves an industry leading 10M+ token context window and can also run on a single GPU!
📌 Llama 4 Maverick is the best multimodal model in its class, beating GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash across a broad range of widely reported benchmarks, while achieving comparable results to the new DeepSeek v3 on reasoning and coding – at less than half the active parameters. It offers a best-in-class performance to cost ratio with an experimental chat version scoring ELO of 1417 on LMArena. It can also run on a single host!
📌 Previewing Llama 4 Behemoth, our most powerful model yet and among the world’s smartest LLMs. Llama 4 Behemoth outperforms GPT4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on several STEM benchmarks. Llama 4 Behemoth is still training, and we’re excited to share more details about it even while it’s still in flight.
A big thanks to all of our launch partners (full list in blog) for helping us bring Llama 4 to developers everywhere including @huggingface, @togethercompute, @SnowflakeDB, @ollama, @databricks and many others👏 This is just the start, we have more models coming and the team is really cooking – look out for Llama 4 Reasoning 😉
A few weeks ago, we celebrated Llama being downloaded over 1 billion times. Llama 4 demonstrates our long-term commitment to open source AI, the entire open source AI community, and our unwavering belief that open systems will produce the best small, mid-size and soon frontier models. Llama would be nothing without the global open source AI community & we are so ready to begin this next chapter with you. 🦙

Meet Helix, our in-house AI that reasons like a human
Robotics won't get to the home without a step change in capabilities
Our robots can now handle virtually any household item:
⚡️Meet Russia’s newest hypersonic ballistic missile - 'Hazel - striking a factory in Ukraine, as unveiled by Vladimir Putin
It is a non-nuclear medium range missile, capable of reaching Mach 10 - about 2.5-3 km per second.
The video was published by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev
This is wild.
Anthropic just dropped Computer Use and Claude 3.5 Sonnet & Haiku
And it will completely change the AI agent game.
6 wild examples:
1. Computer Use for Coding
Under OpenAI's restructuring plan:
• Company becomes for-profit
• Non-profit arm takes a minority stake
• Sam Altman gets 7% equity stake (~$10.5B)
• Non-profit board losses control over for-profit
Pulling a massive 180°
We're releasing a preview of OpenAI o1—a new series of AI models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond.
These models can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math. https://t.co/peKzzKX1bu
@Adobe I’m not lawyer, but it would appear that this gives you the right to sub license content to others via adobe stock. Given that the selling stock content is an an operational function of a service you provide…
HOLY SH**t . This is absolute BONKERS. Adobe’s new terms of service (that forces you to agree or your locked out of your Adobe products) not only lets Adobe access to your private content (I bet to train more ai data) but also gives them a license for them to reproduce and distribute your work. LMAO WHAT?!!!!
