Anthropic just filed for an IPO that could value the company at over $2 trillion. Buried in the filing is a beautiful diagram explaining how the machine feeds itself. Naturally, I asked ChatGPT to translate it from investor relations into plain English.

Engineered E. coli swarms are engineered to record environmental inputs through persistent, self-organized macroscale patterns. Their morphology acts as a writable medium, transforming collective motility into a biological recording device.

New: Accenture has told employees it will only fund $29 per month of Claude use. Meaning that employees who often spend as much as $1,000 a month are now scrambling to find ways to keep access to the tool. A sign of the continuing crack down of AI 404media.co/accenture-tells-…

Very sorry to hear this news. 😥 I never had the chance to meet Margaret Hamilton, but her contributions to the flight software that got us to the moon are legendary. I love this image of her standing next to the printouts of the Apollo code.

We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…
Margaret Hamilton is reclined inside a NASA spacecraft module, surrounded by control panels and switches.

Over two weeks, Prime Agent orchestrated a swarm of over 2,000 agents to rewrite itself in Rust. With 10,000+ sandboxes, 200B+ GLM-5.3 tokens, and 16,000 agent-to-agent messages, this was our largest test yet of Prime Agent’s multi-agent capabilities and our infrastructure powering these agent swarms. Prime Agent now reaches usable input ~13× faster and uses 83% less startup memory than before.
