Meta Platforms is reportedly investing $6.5 billion with Samsung Foundry to produce its third-generation MTIA (Meta Training and Inference Accelerator) chips using a 2nm process. This strategic move signifies a shift from TSMC and aims to reduce reliance on NVIDIA GPUs, lower supply chain risks, and support Meta's ambitious goal of 5 gigawatts of computing capacity by 2030 for its AI and cloud initiatives. The deal is expected to bolster Meta's competitive position in the rapidly evolving AI and cloud computing markets. Context Meta has been increasingly focused on artificial intelligence and cloud services, necessitating advanced computing power. The MTIA chips represent Meta's third generation of in-house processors, designed to optimize performance for AI workloads. The shift to Samsung...

Lot dropped this week and there's a pretty clear through-line, so figured I'd pull it together. Model releases: - OpenAI launched GPT-5.6 (Sol/Terra/Luna). The bit worth noting isn't the flagship — it's Terra, reportedly matching GPT-5.5 quality at ~2x cheaper, with Luna aimed at the low-cost end. - Google shipped Gemini 3.5 Flash (beats 3.1 Pro on several benchmarks), plus Nano Banana 2 Lite (images ~$0.034/1K-res) and Gemini Omni Flash (video ~$0.10/sec via API). - xAI made Grok 3 GA and Grok 4.1 live for everyone. Grok 5 still hasn't shipped, which is its own story at this point. Vertical / enterprise: - Anthropic launched Claude Science for pharma and lab research. Separately, the US govt lifted the export restrictions on Fable 5 / Mythos 5 that it had imposed only weeks earlier. - Mis...

My reddit feed has been getting filled with a ton of AI generated content. A notable one is r/ModMuse. Its a girl posing for selfies in different outfits. It came up again today. Tons of posts from guys. One said "You're really pretty." I responded: "Don't get too excited. I'm pretty sure she's AI generated..." I then got a response that read..."Removed: Please don't post unverified fake/ AI-generated accusations. I am a bot. This action was performed automatically." And then a follow-on message saying I'm permanently banned from the sub. I found this a little unnerving. AI agents and automated scripts are starting to show up everywhere. If AI is able to generate content on its own and control the conversation by silencing dissenters, it seems a dangerous precedent. The content in this sit...

I don’t feel like AI has made work “effortless.” It has mostly changed which part of the work feels hard. Before, the hard part was usually getting a first version done. Writing the first draft, building the first page, outlining the first plan, or turning a rough idea into something real enough to look at. Now that part is much faster. But I notice the stress moved somewhere else. Now I spend more energy asking: is this actually correct? did it miss the weird edge case? does this sound plausible but wrong? can I trust this enough to ship it? did it quietly make the thing more complicated? am I reviewing carefully, or just accepting because it looks good? That feels like the real shift to me. AI reduces the blank-page pain, but it increases the judgment burden. The person using the AI st...

I signed up for a Perplexity Pro year subscription back in April ($200). Here are the features that made me give the ***wipes at Perplexity AI money: Unlimited uploads Unlimited Deep Research I chose Perplexity (and paid for it) because I’m an analyst that relies heavily on research. Within the past few days, my ability to upload and run Deep Research were grayed out. Turns out, the ***wipes at Perplexity AI quietly capped Pro usage (I can’t speak to Max). I received no email, no bulletin, no notification - just a sudden and annoying grayed out “feature”. Did you pay for something that’s no longer available to you? Oh, too bad - go F yourself. Did you want to reach out to Perplexity support for help/assistance/feedback? Go F yourself. I’m now stuck with a subscription for another 9 ****ing...

Andrew Ng recently said: "100% of my tasks are now done by AI agents. Hype has exceeded my expectations. Loops is next step. In 3-6 months, everyone will be using self-improving loops. No more prompting." I think he's not too far off, you can already see the shift happening, people are moving away from chatting with an AI and telling it what to do step by step, and building systems where the agent just keeps working on a task on its own, which is kind of the whole point of calling it an agent. Sounds great on paper but there's a few practical problems nobody really talks about. The first one is cost: when an agent gets stuck it can spin in circles for way longer than you'd expect and what would've taken a few messages in a normal chat turns into a lot of wasted time and money Secon...

Never getting over the fact that AI has claimed the em-dash. My favorite punctuation to use, and now all of the sudden it’s a dead giveaway of AI use. Now I find myself changing it to a hyphen or en-dash (even though it makes less grammatical sense to do so) to avoid the AI accusations. Does anyone know why this is seemingly overused with AI (particularly chat gpt)? submitted by /u/kayyybutwhy [link] [comments]

You may be familiar with Yann LeCunn's idea of JEPA and how it may be the real future of the artificial intelligence. I was reading the articles and watching his work on the topic and I was like it is one thing I could always use in my project of "SVG generation". Well, before that I used a model like FLUX or SD (finetuned on vector styles) and then used vtracer. Which is not really bad. But when I saw I-JEPA and how it behaves with images, I decided to give it a shot. So I made this: https://github.com/prp-e/openjepa As far as I know, the available weights of JEPA are CC licensed so I licensed my work under MIT which makes it a little bit better to work. In my personal tests - due to my small dataset size - I got SVG's successfully but they weren't as expected. I'm sharing my code he...

Saw this chart from BridgeMind going around. They reran BridgeBench (a coding benchmark covering debugging, refactoring, and hallucination detection) comparing the July 1 relaunch of Fable 5 to the original June 12 version: Debugging: 86.2 → 25.9 Refactoring: 73.6 → 38.4 Hallucination: 75.9 → 61.7 Some context worth having before jumping to conclusions: Fable 5 and Mythos 5 got pulled on June 12 due to a Commerce Department export control order, tied to a reported jailbreak that got the model to expose exploitable vulnerabilities. When it came back on July 1, Anthropic added a new safety classifier that catches the reported technique in 99%+ of cases, and any flagged request gets silently rerouted to Opus 4.8 instead of refused outright. That’s the mechanism BridgeMind is pointing at...
