Where the AI market is talking

The Philippines' big offshoring industry is growing despite AI

I mean that's a fair take. But, for me it's not so much that it doesn't match my view. I'm honestly mixed on the whole thing (I am probably most concerned about the finances). It's more that the articles they write seem to align with the eb and flow of anthropics media tempo. This week it's FOMO, next week it's panacea, hack all the things week, followed by mild financial concerns with a but it will be fine tacked at the end. The articles tend to lack concreteness too. Maybe, it's just what reading The Economist is like when it's a domain you actually understand and follow closely? Honestly, though I could probably say the same for a lot of publications these days.

The UK's war on anonymity has come to America

Seen from the outside, the US seemed a lot more coherent pre-Trump.

Tl;dv: Over 180k meetings left wide open

Besides the downplaying and obfuscation about the timeline on the first half, I find the inclusion of anthropic and zoom examples to be wild. Just spraying in all directions.

Muse Glimmer: 30B-parameter model optimized for always-on local agent workflows

If I understand correctly, you're saying people are compute-poor but not necessarily GPU-poor because there's a lot of GPUs out there but nowhere to plug them into? If so, I'm not sure that distinction matters to the GP's point that there is too much demand to call this an oversupply. I also doubt we can estimate the level of demand based on a single deal between Anthropic and SpaceX (despite which, note, Claude still stuggles at times.) Consider other signals, like Google, who we thought had an insurmountable infra advantage, also renting compute capacity from SpaceX and limiting Meta's usage (along with other clients apparently) to conserve capacity: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/28/google-limits-metas-use-of-i... I am not sure Microsoft thinks there will be…

Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)

For the past couple of month, I have been building belgie ( https://github.com/mplemay/belgie ) with the goal of making it easy for agents to dynamically generate user interfaces / code in a sandboxed environment. At a high-level, it supports 1. Create React MCP UIs (and traditional Web UIs) from python without needing a JS runtime installed 2. Provides a deno backed typescript sandbox for agent generated code via pydantic-ai / langchain A great example use cases is automatically generating UIs for SQL query results.

OpenAI's new device will be hockey puck-sized and cost over $300

I am not a fan of OpenAI, but I believe the long-view for many AI companies is that AI will replace the phone and all of its functions, essentially being voice activated, summarizing version. Though this doesn't work in public settings, so I am also not totally sure what the long-view is..

The UK's war on anonymity has come to America

US is currently recovering (fever breaking) from the petty and micromanaged stage. We haven't been coherent as a nation for like 20+ years.

Letter to Governor Abbott on responsible AI infrastructure in Texas

OpenAI: Commit to 117% of your datacenter power demand to be supplied by nuclear, wind, and solar, so it arrives the same day (or sooner) than your demand starts. This isn't that hard.

GPT 5.6 Cyber

Just today, 5.6-sol refused to elaborate on a security vulnerability it claimed it had identified in my code. It could plainly see the git history with my name on every commit going back to inception, but apparently elaborating on the nature of a purported vulnerability is too scary for openai. It would fix it for me, automatically, if I was willing to let it run amok in my codebase. But asking if the "vuln" was exploitable triggered the guardrails and a "we can't show you this content" error because I am not part of the cybersecurty Trusted Access bullshit.

GPT 5.6 Cyber

I guess Daybreak Blue is their attempt to fix the problem of Hugging Face getting iced out of being able to analyze the AI slopsploit attack chain they got hit with? I'm still not happy with putting defensive capabilities behind any sort of identification wall - mostly because when I'm inevitably 0wned by a misaligned[0] AI, I'm almost certainly not going to be granted access to these programs as I'm an un-sueable nobody. Also, if I did have access, I'd use it to jailbreak my iPad, which is probably considered an unauthorized / unsafe use. [0] Some guy in Australia's OpenClaw just hacked their gym

Mistral Patent for “Code implemented tool calls”

OpenAI should have patented pre-training

Kimi code with k256 (I’ve heard you can easily one shot implement a proxy to other providers, even with deepseek v4 flash, if you don’t want kimi code) has stupidly low rate limits for and cost, compared to OpenAI which has massive rate limits and more cost

AI Fortunes Are Reviving an Old Debate About Private Power

Microsoft is one of them too and they've been one of the primary funders of OpenAI. And that's to say nothing of the many recent mergers between software corporations and film studios.

OpenAI found us generators for maximal Monster subgroup holdout 59:29

OpenAI's new device will be hockey puck-sized and cost over $300

OpenAI isn’t interested in useless products that sell for quick money. They want people to use it, they want to be embedded in the public’s mindshare.

Letter to Governor Abbott on responsible AI infrastructure in Texas

Gotta love how all the companies' platitudes about sustainability become ludicrous as they begin burning natural gas at prodigious scales. But don't worry, "AI will solve climate change" so we can just pump extra CO2 now, right guys? I am deeply, deeply cynical and honestly angry about these companies and their self-righteous protestations of being ethical, or public benefit corporations or whatever. Anthropic is benefiting from xAI's Memphis data center that is violating (previous, not anymore!) EPA standards, causing disproportionate impacts to nearby African-American communities. All the while, Ants appear to be floating on some higher effective altruist / B-corp plane. The little people and their petty concerns are just bumps on the road to RSI and ASI after all.

Show HN: A tiny LLM running at 21,000 tok/s on a $250 FPGA (Live Demo)

conceptually it's a cool idea. practically the results seem about as coherent as import random; print(random.choice(list(my_dict))) ..but way slower is there a practical use to a model this small?

Exploring Claude/GPT Knowledge Cutoffs and Pre-Training Timelines

Same spirit as above. API is fixed (though of course things like web search results can change from day to day). ChatGPT and Codex harnesses do change over time, though they never result in name changes. We document the big changes here: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6825453-chatgpt-release-...

Letter to Governor Abbott on responsible AI infrastructure in Texas

Abbot may very well be corrupt, but this letter does nothing to show that. The last thing I saw is ERCOT and PUCT will be involved with the auditing of the electricity and water usage [1] which would seem to indicate that it won't be the AI industry regulating itself. It seems like OpenAI wants to regulate itself, but Abbot is currently opposed to it. Could he change his mind? Of course, but the current situation appears to be the exact opposite of what you are thinking is happening. [1] https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-directs-comp...
