at this point you have to believe in one of three things: - ZAI is benchmaxxing - ZAI found some secret RL sauce - OpenAI and Anthropic are sandbagging it just doesn't make sense if you consider the differences in model sizes

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Short lines with heavy white space, built to be scanned.
Tone: punchy
Written for: People building with AI

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

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

GPT-6 spotted in Chatgpt GPT-6-Astra GPT-6-Astra-WM GPT-6-Pro WM might be work-mode or world model? I suspect work-mode because it's related to workspace

ox-alpha is GLM-5.3-Flash with 320B@18B params - it beats the larger GLM-5.2 - it was pre-trained on 30T tokens and interestingly uses mHC

I have no doubt in my mind anymore that Mythos Preview is their massive ~10T teacher model I think Model 1 and Model 2 are further iterations of that same model Mythos 5 and Fable 5 are likely only smaller distilled models

even more reason for frontier labs to just stop releasing small models not only are they getting cooked by open-weight models, but they are also less robust to such attacks

first 5T, now it's 10T if this is true and they finish training a 10T model this year, then a lot of people (including me) have been horribly wrong I was predicting that a 10T chinese model wouldn't happen until early to mid 2027

Qwen3.8-Max is now available and weights will be released next week it's a 2.4T@95B MoE model, and Qwen currently serves it almost 3x cheaper than Kimi-K3 not sure why they didn't compare it to Kimi-K3 and Opus-5
