Releases, research, and ideas for developers and product teams. Updated every hour.
Simon Willison is co-hosting a Birds of a Feather session with Jesse Vincent in San Francisco on Wednesday, 14th October for people building with and on top of coding agents. The evening is described as an informal show-and-tell for early, odd or unfinished experiments rather than product pitches.
NVIDIA AI Day Singapore, which takes place Sept. 22-23 at the Raffles City Convention Centre, is offering attendees opportunities to explore the hands-on training, expert-led sessions and advanced tools to accelerate their work in AI and high-performance computing. At the event, NVIDIA and its partners are showcasing breakthrough AI advancements across the Southeast Asia region […]
ChatGPT Ads is expanding to Southeast Asia and Taiwan, giving eligible businesses new ways to reach people across more than 60 countries.
Learn how Airbnb is expanding access to GPT-6 Astra and OpenAI frontier models to help engineering teams solve bugs, design systems, and ship faster.
OpenAI and Grab launch GO Forward with AI, a regional programme helping 30,000 partners build practical AI skills across Southeast Asia.
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5 and OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, with GPT-6 Sol and Luna priced at half their GPT-5.6 equivalents, according to Simon Willison. Opus 5.5's input and output prices fell 20% versus prior Opus models.
A Latent Space podcast episode features John Platt discussing Google's Empirical Research Assistance (ERA), an LLM-driven system for automating scoreable scientific tasks that has contributed to at least ten papers, plus AI work on contrails and climate.
Learn how GPT-6 improves prompt caching with higher cache hit rates, new diagnostics, explicit breakpoints, and controls that reduce latency and costs.
Patricia and James Poitras have given MIT $10 million to fund 50 two-year fellowships through the Poitras Center for Psychiatric Disorders Research at the McGovern Institute, with five fellowships awarded annually for a decade. Five researchers were named to the inaugural cohort.
Release: llm 0.36 New OpenAI models: gpt-6-sol for GPT-6 Sol and gpt-6-luna for GPT-6 Luna . #1702 Model plugins can now declare supports_conversation = False for models that only accept single-turn prompts. LLM raises llm.ConversationNotSupported when these models receive assistant or tool history, and llm chat rejects them before starting a session. See Models that do not support conversations . The first plugin to use this is llm-typesafe . #1692 Reasoning traces in the Markdown output of llm logs are now wrappe
Hey, you know it's like super obvious if you're using AI to write your scripts for TikTok and YouTube, right? [...] It's not just the general AI-isms of "it's not X, it's Y", or the rule of three, or the really weird broken staccato-like way of writing where you just say a lot of things with all these punctuation marks. and it sounds really deep, but it's not. It's the lack of anything . It's the lack of a definitive sort of spear of your voice. It's the fact I can tell you don't have opinions about the thing that
Meet GPT-6 Sol and Luna, two models that bring frontier intelligence to everyday work with different balances of capability and cost.
NVIDIA described Confidential Computing adaptations in TensorRT LLM for private AI inference on Blackwell GPUs. On eight B200 GPUs with DeepSeek-R1, confidential compute retained 96.1-98.2% of baseline output-token throughput with 1.2-4.3% per-token latency overhead across concurrency 1-16.
NVIDIA announced Topograph, an open source toolkit that discovers cluster network topology and publishes it in formats schedulers can consume, including Kubernetes node labels, Slurm configuration, and Slinky ConfigMaps. It supports cloud providers Google Cloud, Lambda, Nebius, Nscale, and OCI, plus on-premises InfiniBand, Spectrum-X, and Multi-Node NVLink domains.
Simon Willison released llm-anthropic 0.29, which adds support for Claude Opus 5.5, invoked via the command llm -m claude-opus-5.5 "prompt goes here".
Simon Willison released llm-typesafe 0.1a0, a new plugin for LLM that adds support for TypeSafe AI's Jev model, enabling yes/no, choice, and scoring questions from the command line.
Google has open-sourced AX, an orchestrator designed for managing autonomous AI agent workloads. AX operates on a runtime, Agent Substrate, treating agents as stateful actors. It provides resource-efficient task suspension and resumption to optimise performance and reduce latency in idle phases. It features a control plane with Kubernetes-style primitives for managing agent tasks and resources. By Olimpiu Pop
NVIDIA DLSS 5 introduces DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering and granular controls that help game developers add lifelike lighting and material detail while...
To build and deploy sophisticated robotics applications that can perceive, reason and act in dynamic environments, developers need new physical AI models and tools. The ROS open framework is a project from Open Robotics that helps humans build robots. NVIDIA Isaac ROS 5.0 — a collection of GPU-accelerated packages built on ROS, released today at […]
GPU acceleration can speed up compute-intensive robotics workloads, but a fast CUDA kernel alone does not guarantee a fast ROS 2 graph. As messages move between...
