@simonwI built a new feature for my blog entirely by voice with Codex Desktop, while I was cooking dinner https://t.co/dQwOlgFeKT

@simonwWhat's the best open weight Mixture-of-Experts LLM for coding that fits in less than 60GB of RAM? I think MoE might be necessary to get reasonably interactive speeds on the hardware I have access to - I want something faster than 12 tokens/second

Google AI
@GoogleAIIt’s Friday 🎉 Here’s a look at this week’s announcements: — https://t.co/aIbQoguyFu is now available globally in English, allowing anyone to use our detector portal to easily verify if images, video, or audio files were AI-generated by Google or industry partners — Nano Banana 2.1, featuring leaps in visual design, subject consistency, and precise spot editing that lets you change specific details without altering the whole image — EmbeddingGemma 2, our first natively multimodal open model that unifies text, images, video, audio, and code into a single space for on-device embeddings — @GoogleGemma 4 paired with BOTANIC-1, a specialized AI trained on plant DNA, to rapidly pinpoint the exact mutations that make crops thrive — Gemini agent for your business, a universal cloud agent running 24/7 to get your work done — Guided Vision in Gemini Live, offering real-time visual assistance and dynamic audio descriptions via your camera, built alongside the blind and low-vision community

@simonwI like Qwen3.5-35B-A3B for this, wondering what else is out there that might be a bit more recent and pack a little more of a punch

@simonwAdmittedly I guess this is a pretty incredible troll targeted at people who say "it shouldn't be called artificial intelligent because it's not actually intelligent" Do they now feel obliged to defend the old name against the new one?

Anthropic
@AnthropicAIAn astrophysicist worked with Claude Science to create the first complete ultraviolet map of the sky. Astronomers have already created complete sky maps from radio to gamma rays. But large regions of the sky have never been observed in UV. In today’s science blog, Brice Ménard explains how he guided Claude to find existing datasets, combine them, and fill in the gaps with statistical inference. The work would have taken humans weeks of work, but, with Claude, just took a few days while Ménard worked on other projects. The resulting map is a useful teaching tool and an example of exactly the sort of slow, low-priority work which scientists never quite get around to, but which AI now makes feasible.

@simonwNew open source cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux) sandboxing library from Microsoft - looks very promising, uses processcontainer/bubblewrap/seatbelt under the hood https://t.co/WMW0AXeBoG

@AnthropicAITo secure open-source software, we’re launching OSS Scanner. We’ll use our frontier models to periodically scan opted-in open-source projects for vulnerabilities, at no cost. Our reports will provide a proof-of-concept, explanation, and suggested fix. https://t.co/UFFrLUd25U

@0xMfox10K AI agents just cracked a $1M math problem in 88 HOURS. The smartest humans alive couldn't do it in 26 years. The problem is Navier-Stokes, the math behind how water and air move. It's been a $1M Millennium Prize problem since 2000. On September 8, OpenAI said its internal https://t.co/IY2bgvhnJl

@AnthropicAIThis is part of our broader effort to make the systems we all rely upon more secure and resilient. That work will take time: the Anthropic Cyber Mission will expand and change as we learn what works, alongside our partners in the public and private sectors.

@simonwRelated new project from Microsoft is Quicksand, a Python library that bundles QEMU and uses it to run eg an Alpine Linux container - this one is really neat, I've tried it on macOS and Windows and Linux: https://t.co/AcYTphiwRN
