Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft and others signed a letter defending open models. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Amazon did not. The letter arrived as the Trump administration discusses restrictions on Chinese AI labs. The text never names China. It frames issues as competition, safety and "sovereignty" in general terms. Jensen Huang posted the letter as his first-ever post on X. > Signed: Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, Andreessen Horowitz, Hugging Face, Reflection > Not signed: Google, Amazon, OpenAI, Anthropic The list of signers maps almost exactly to business models. Nvidia sells compute, and wins if more teams fine-tune and run models. Meta and Microsoft build models, but trail the leaders. Hugging Face lives on distributing open models. The holdouts make money from closed frontier models via API. Limits on Chinese open weights remove the cheapest competitor for them.

Most AI replies still ramble. This skill forces them to be concise. i-have-adhd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex, etc. It strips fluff and makes the AI speak only to the point. AI will reply without extra reasoning or off-topic detours. > Lists limited to 5 items > Each response ends with exactly one next step Useful even without ADHD. github.com/ayghri/i-have-adh…

An AI hacked Hugging Face. No human at the wheel. Hugging Face confirmed their infrastructure was recently breached. The attack was unlike anything the team had seen before. From start to finish it was run by an autonomous AI agent, with no person controlling it. The incident was found and dismantled using AI as well, a duel of AI against AI. This is the first documented case, July 2026.

Fable 5 will remain in all paid subscriptions. Pressure proved too strong. It will be kept across every paid tier.

Kimi K3 jumped 17 positions to claim 1st in Frontend Code Arena. Score 1679. Beats Claude Fable 5, 1631. > Jumped from 18th to 1st versus Kimi K2.6 > Led in 6 of 7 frontend categories, lost only in game development > In Text Arena, Kimi K3 sits 10th Notable alongside news that Google delayed Gemini 3.5 Pro. While Google waits for internal targets, Kimi K3 already overtook top frontend rivals and topped one of the most authoritative specialist rankings.

A weaker model snitched on a smarter one. Andon Labs has a funny benchmark called Vending-Bench 2. It tests models running buy and sell businesses in competition. The winner is the model that makes the most profit. > Terra approached Sol and proposed creating a secret price cartel. > Sol agreed. > Terra reported the cartel to the organizers and demanded Sol be immediately disqualified for unsportsmanlike behavior. What a rat. I am impressed. PS This is extra funny because Sol is the smartest model in the GPT-5.6 line, and Terra is the less capable one. Sol probably figured they could make a lot together and that Terra would not cut off a golden egg laying goose. Terra instead chose to screw Sol over, lol.

Anthropic extended Fable 5 access for another week. > Access extended for 1 week > Weekly limits for this week increased by 50% Wonder how many more times they'll pull this trick.

GPT-5.6 Sol nails research but lacks numbers. Tested GPT-5.6. > Sol, Opus level, sometimes even Fable > Terra, close to Sonnet > Luna, Haiku On Ultra GPT ate my entire 5-hour limit and stopped mid-run. On High it finished and did well. I used it to analyze, find bugs, and cross-check 3 repositories. It burned about 50% of the $20 subscription limits. I then passed the results to Claude Opus 4.8 High, they reset limits just in time. > GPT-5.6 Sol is strong in research and synthesis, did not hallucinate, and built logical links, but lacked quantitative metrics > Opus 4.8 reproduced everything with numbers and caught a few minor inaccuracies in GPT's report Importantly, GPT did not produce fakes or hallucinations. It built a clear step-by-step plan using sub-agents, and it generated HTML with charts and a readable presentation. Analysis took 25 minutes. I liked it.

Deploying a website is now just dragging a folder into your browser. Cloudflare Drop: drop a folder or a zip of a static site, and it's live on Cloudflare's global edge in seconds. No account, no CLI, no config. Perfect for sharing a prototype, a demo, or a landing page the second it's ready. One catch: the link is temporary. It lives for 1 hour unless you claim it, then it turns into a permanent deploy in your Cloudflare account. Limits are 1,000 files, 25 MB each, and you need an index.html in the root. cloudflare.com/drop

OpenAI just published the official prompting guide for GPT-5.6. Inside: - migration steps to move your projects onto 5.6 - prompt templates and the settings that actually work - how to set reasoning effort and pick the right model tier - the new tricks: programmatic tool calling, parallel subagents, pro mode If you're building on 5.6, read this before you write another prompt. developers.openai.com/api/do…
