If OpenAI does drop token pricing, this is likely because they’ve heard from customers they can’t adopt AI at volume at the current pricing. Margin is high now for served tokens. They could cut prices by like 60% and still be profitable imo

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

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 → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: People building with AI

Based on strong positive feedback from customers in our beta test program, @SpaceXAI will make Grok 4.5 available to the public tomorrow. It is an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

Another fun demo of Astra, I realized like 3.5 hours ago I didn't have a cool enough demo In 75 minutes, I gave it the same simulate macOS 27 prompt. It's BY FAR the best output I've seen. If you log in, it also has cloud sync and working apps t.co

I think the Mac mini with M6, 32GB of RAM and whatever storage is the perfect value Qwen3.8 27B machine Full Mac, full computer, new GPU/ANE should help model perf. I don't know if you can beat this package for $1499

M6 in the Mac mini now has support for fp8 ops on the matrix cores in the GPU But even cooler it has 2 neural engines. There are a total of neural-engine cores with two 16-core neural engines, then can work in tandem for a single operation or work on two simultaniously

I have always thought Apple Watch + AirPods + iPhone has made the most sense for AI hardware It’s easy and works as your normal products too. Apple seems to be at least sorta heading in that direction as an option

Cook essentially just said on the earnings call that Chinese memory, if they could use it, would help on the supply side and they are not sure about the pricing side Essentially, they just need access and it doesn't necessarily mean it's "cheap Chinese memory"

For those worried MacBook Neo would hurt Apple's product margin, from the earnings call: "Products gross margin was 40.1%, up 140 basis points sequentially. This also included a benefit from the tariff refunds, which had a favorable impact of over 2.5%."
