Entrepreneurs who sleep more are more creative, better at evaluating new business opportunities, study finds. Amen! Nothing makes me stick to a tired model like, well, being tired! Wanna GET THAT MONEY? Then GET THAT SLEEP! A serving of 8h+ is 🏆 t.co

Why it worked

Follows a clear Hook → Context → Turn → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Turn → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, energetic
Written for: People building with AI

It’s embarrassing but the Jimmy Kimmel debacle actually is important. It was the first real attempt by the Project 2025 movement to flex their muscle against someone who wasn’t a nameless, defenseless nobody and it catastrophically flopped in less than a week.

So much cope about DeepSeek. Not only did they release a great model. they also released a breakthrough training method (R1 Zero) that’s already reproducing. I doubt they lied about training costs, but even if they did they’re still awesome for this great gift to the world.

Famously, human learning takes *very little* energy. A toddler learns thousands of words and an entire grammar while eating nothing but raspberries, before learning to read. An LLM needs a nuclear reactor and the entire internet as a training corpus.

First recovery in the ByBit hack. ~$43m (15,000 cmETH) has been clawed back from the hacker. I saw the recovery possibility soon after the hack and SEAL connected me with Mantle/mETH team who made it happen. Huge shoutout to SEAL, Mantle, and mETH teams for their quick action.

As shocking as the Kimi K3 release. Massive performance gain was just with post-training Model is 3x smaller than GLM 5.2 (10x smaller than K3) & works on a MacBook / Spark This is Q1 flagship (Opus 4.6/GPT 5.4) level for < $0.28/m tokens (100x cheaper)

Together with SpaceXAI, we’re training a significantly larger model from scratch, using 10x more total compute. With Colossus 2’s million H100-equivalents and our combined data and training techniques, we expect this to be a major leap in model capability.

Fable one-shotted a Rust rewrite of the TerminalTextEffects Python library in 11M tokens. Startup time went from 87ms to 2ms and rendering speed is up by 9.6x. Now zero dependencies and a 3mb single exec 🤯 t.co

I just hoped back on Kimi K2.7 for some work yesterday. Hadn't been using it since GPT 5.6 and Fable. But great reminder of just how good these open-weight models have gotten. For what I was doing, Kimi was faster and just as good. Excited for K3!

The Omarchy 4 branch is now 30,000 lines of new code. The majority of it was written by GPT5.5. It's been so, so good at QML. You still need to review, but there's just no way this scale of a conversion would be feasible without AI in a reasonable time. t.co

I think it's great that all the model providers are coming out with their own CLIs, but let's be honest, no dev is going to want to have five different CLIs installed. They're going to want to learn and use one tool with all the models. For me, that tool is OpenCode.

I love the models Anthropic are offering, but I seriously hope it's a mistake that they're blocking alternative harness providers, like @opencode, from working with their subscriptions. Seems very customer hostile. t.co

Apple exodus set to continue. This is the price of keeping a bean counter at the head for so long. Cook's legacy will not improve by dragging his own departure out any longer. Maybe he should do like Ballmer and buy a basketball team?
