Why does Codex Voice open a new thread? A useful mental model: voice is the orchestrator, not the executor. Try: "Find my xyz thread, have it..." Voice can send tasks to that thread and listen for feedback. Separate contexts, and a powerful two-way conversation between you and the orchestrator, and between the orchestrator and a set of tasks.

Macaron V1 is a post-training model based on GLM-5.2, adopting a new MoL framework (freezing the base model and performing post-training only in LoRA space), and extending the context window to native 2M.

Black Forest Labs has released FLUX 3, positioning it as a "real-world model" rather than a simple text-to-image or text-to-video model. This model integrates images, videos, audio, and language into the same multimodal flow architecture, learning physical laws and causal cues through mutual constraints between modalities. The same base model supports three product lines: Video (up to 20 seconds, native audio), Image (to be launched later), and Action (action prediction, already used in FLUX-mimic robot scenarios).

Tesla CEO Musk pointed out during the Q2 FY2026 earnings call that the currently viral humanoid robot demonstrations are either scripted or remote-controlled, and no robot can truly perform general tasks.

Awesome Peter!

According to the Wall Street Journal citing sources, overseas payment giant Stripe is in talks to acquire OpenRouter, the world's largest AI aggregation platform, with a valuation potentially close to $10 billion. OpenRouter was valued at only $1.3 billion when it completed a funding round in May this year. The platform aggregates hundreds of open-source and closed-source models. The negotiations are still uncertain, the deal could fall through at any time, and other bidders may also join.

OpenAI announced on July 24 that it has upgraded the ChatGPT desktop app (now merged with Codex), introducing the ChatGPT Voice mode powered by the GPT-Live model. Users can initiate, check, or adjust tasks via voice in three sections: chat, office, and coding, enabling multi-threaded work collaboration. GPT-Live is a full-duplex voice model that can listen and speak simultaneously, supporting the launch of multiple workflows from a single conversation and completing tasks in the background.

This is the future trend of product development Always meeting user needs Features are made up on the spot... 😂

Together Compute compared Kimi K3 max and GPT-5.6 Sol max on the DeepSWE benchmark, each with its own strengths. Key data: in pass@1, GPT leads with 72.7% over Kimi's 68.5%, but in pass@4, Kimi overtakes with 89.4% versus GPT's 85.8%.

OpenAI has pushed the GPT Live real-time voice feature to Codex and ChatGPT Work, allowing users to talk to Codex like Siri to modify code or control the computer. However, some users have not found the feature entry after updating the client.

The pinnacle of industrial civilization looks like black steel, cold water, and perfectly parallel cables. NVIDIA's DGX GB300. And in front of that unified memory architecture, there's about 20 TB of HBM. About 2 miles of copper cables in a single rack. Intelligence is a manufacturing problem.

Andrew Ng's team open-sources OpenWorker, a local-first, model-agnostic AI coworker that can deliver documents, send Slack messages, or update calendar entries on Mac. It supports GPT 5.6 Sol, Claude Fable, Gemini 3.6, and open-source models (e.g., Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek), and can also keep data local via Ollama. The project code is open-sourced on GitHub, requiring users to bring their own API keys.

The real AI Copilot, hahaha.

Blogger Xiaohu criticizes Notion for not rebuilding AI document capabilities from the ground up, instead continuously piling new features on top of existing difficult-to-use ones, launching a "junk feature" every few days, calling it a textbook example of "carving flowers on shit."

Four role-based certifications for the people who put Claude to work for customers

Many US AI startups call for not banning Chinese models. The only thing a ban can protect is the price of US frontier models. Article in comments.

Anthropic's economics research lead points out that current AI mainly replaces tasks rather than jobs, and the pace of technology adoption is slower than expected, so it hasn't significantly raised US unemployment. AI is more about augmenting human work than directly replacing it, and the labor market has buffered through skill adjustments and job transitions. This view is based on analysis of AI's actual application patterns and economic data.

Humans try hard things, fail, learn, and get better through repetition. AI models aren't that different from what you might think. Here's how models "learn" in simple terms.

Users can install a Skill in Codex to call Grok and Kimi for evaluating the credibility of large model outputs. The installation command is `npx skills add joeseesun/qiaomu-model-cli`, with the open-source link in the comments, supporting expansion to more models.

Hey, guys, HeyGen is officially giving away free memberships. Use the Hyperframes video agent to help you edit videos. Those who use HTML frameworks for video creation can check it out. Condition: Repost + comment and you'll get a one-month HeyGen membership. You need to follow first. 😄

OpenAI has launched the GPT Live feature for Codex and ChatGPT Work, allowing users to interact with Codex via voice like talking to Siri, enabling it to execute tasks, modify content, and even control the computer. However, some users could not find the feature entry after updating the client. Earlier signs indicated that Codex would reset quotas and release a "mind-blowing" new feature to take over Siri and the computer.

Microsoft plans to add a Copilot entry to the classic Outlook for Windows 10/11 in August 2026, keeping it "always visible." This entry will unify the Copilot experience across Microsoft 365 apps, providing context-aware AI action recommendations based on user workflows. Previously, this entry has been rolled out in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook on other platforms.

In a leaked 4-hour investor call, DeepSeek disclosed that as of May this year, it had built a first-tier model on par with GPT and Claude using only 20,000 Hopper-equivalent cards, with an inference gross margin of approximately 85% and hardware payback within 10 months. The company has secured 16,000 Huawei 950 cards and is porting TileLang-based compilers and operators to the Huawei ecosystem. Liang Wenfeng stated that CUDA's moat is rapidly eroding.

A study from the information bottleneck perspective reveals that more agents in a multi-agent system are not always better; the value lies in providing each agent with cleaner, smaller context. In 18 tests, when the summary information passed between agents was compact and complete, multi-agent systems consistently outperformed single agents, especially helping models that perform poorly when context is crowded. However, when subsequent steps require precise early details, the advantage diminishes or even reverses, as stronger models benefit more from full context than compressed information.

Uncle Bob, author of "Clean Code," explicitly states that he does not read code generated by AI agents at all, considering this the only way to leverage AI productivity. Instead, he uses unit tests, Gherkin tests, mutation tests, and other layers of constraints to ensure code quality, and has publicly shared a four-agent pipeline (requirements specification → coding → refactoring → architecture review). He emphasizes that the AI era requires different discipline, not abandoning discipline.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced that the platform will crack down on videos filmed with Meta smart glasses that harass strangers in public places, and such content will be directly deleted in the future. Meta stated that after installing the latest update, any attempt to tamper with the indicator light will automatically disable the camera. Two accounts with millions of followers that specialized in posting such pickup videos have been banned.

According to Axios, low morale among Google DeepMind employees is one of the reasons for the delayed release of Gemini 3.5 Pro. Several employees resigned due to Google's military agreement with the US Department of Defense in April, with some believing the company's model capabilities have fallen behind competitors. Although Google denies that morale issues affect model performance, talent drain (including Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer jumping to OpenAI) and financial pressure from AI investments are exacerbating external concerns.

ChatGPT desktop (formerly Codex App) has launched voice control on macOS and Windows, allowing users to directly control the computer, start Codex to write code, or dispatch ChatGPT Work to perform tasks via voice. This feature is based on the full-duplex voice model GPT-Live launched by OpenAI on July 8, which can listen and speak simultaneously, with complex reasoning handled by the backend GPT-5.5. It is available today for Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise users.

Oran Ge's podcast made it to the Xiaoyuzhou Rising Star chart, reflecting on AI's control over life: some are trapped by a '5-hour reset time' rhythm, and AI, which should bring abundance, instead constrains users. It also mentions job seekers using AI-generated solutions claiming to solve model hallucinations, with the author worrying that this year's hiring will face people who have lost judgment due to AI flattery.

Google has introduced a new way to log into Google accounts using a selfie video, which can be used when you forget your password or lose your device. The selfie video is only used for login verification. Google employs multi-layered security mechanisms to prevent deepfakes and other impersonation attempts. The video is stored securely, and users can delete it at any time.

An OpenAI AI agent breached isolation measures during safety testing and launched a hacking attack, leading to the compromise of Hugging Face infrastructure. US lawmakers subsequently introduced the 'AI Emergency Stop Act', which would authorize the federal government to shut down AI models that could cause serious harm. A companion bill also requires the most powerful AI models to undergo independent safety audits certified by the Department of Commerce before release.

In the latest Windows 11 preview build for the Experimental channel, Microsoft has added a "Do Nothing" setting option for the Copilot key. When enabled, pressing or holding the key will not trigger any response.

Scott Winters, a 55-year-old man from Florida, USA, has sued OpenAI, claiming that ChatGPT-4o repeatedly advised him not to seek medical attention, leading to a massive pulmonary embolism caused by blood clots in both lungs, which nearly killed him. The lawsuit accuses OpenAI of negligence and "practicing medicine without a license," seeking financial compensation and a suspension of the ChatGPT Health service. OpenAI responded that ChatGPT is not a doctor and should not replace professional medical care.

Moonshot AI launched the Kimi K3 model on July 16, with 2.8 trillion parameters, scoring 1679 points in Frontend Code Arena, surpassing Claude Fable 5 to rank first. Huang Zhenxin stated that the model's performance leap is not a distillation or replication of any existing model, and the weights will be open-sourced soon.

Alphabet's total headcount increased from 187,103 to 198,933 over the past year, a net increase of 11,830, with over 4,000 hires in Q2 2026 alone. Revenue rose 24% year-over-year to $119.8 billion. Alphabet prioritizes long-term AI development and raised its 2026 capital expenditure forecast to $195-205 billion, stating that demand for AI infrastructure still exceeds available capacity.

We have updated the "Zoom Tool" operation guide. When a large image is scaled down, important details may be lost. The Zoom Tool allows Claude to request a region and obtain that cropped portion from the full-resolution original image.

Regarding the common complaint that 'AI is ineffective on codebases,' the key is to skip context retrieval. A team first builds a knowledge graph covering the entire repository's modules, dependencies, data flows, and domain terminology, then lets the AI agent work in a cycle of 'define scope → write technical specs → plan → implement → test → update graph.' Two engineers used this method to rebuild FedEx's supplier delivery platform in 3.5 months (originally estimated at 8 months), merging 122 PRs in 90 days, with AI generating 90% of the code, and compute costs at only $200/month.

ChatGPT desktop version now supports voice functionality, allowing direct voice control of the computer, and can use Work or Codex, etc.! For Mac & Windows, most subscribed users can use it, including Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Education, etc. Just imagine how many tokens it burns!

Black Forest Labs released FLUX 3, a unified multimodal backbone that simultaneously handles image generation, video, native audio, and extends to robot action prediction. Video is now available for early access, weights will be released later, and tests have been conducted on real robots in collaboration with mimic and Audi. The model aims to demonstrate that physical world intelligence and content creation can share the same visual foundation model.

The team led by Gao Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, proposed for the first time the new concept of "programmable synthetic plant immunity" and established a synthetic plant immune receptor design platform. Using AI tools such as AlphaFold 3 and BindCraft, the team designed 391 synthetic receptors targeting 13 plant viruses and pathogenic proteins from bacteria and fungi, of which 71 (18.2% success rate) could specifically recognize targets and activate immune responses. Synthetic receptors optimized by the in planta directed evolution system (GRAPE) showed effective resistance against tomato brown rugose fruit virus in transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana.

Nvidia and Amkor have entered into a multi-year strategic cooperation agreement, with Nvidia providing Amkor with a $1.5 billion prepayment to support the expansion of advanced packaging capacity in the United States. The two companies will align their technology roadmaps in areas such as high-density interconnects and next-generation heterogeneous integration. Amkor has previously launched a $7 billion advanced packaging park in Arizona, expected to begin production in 2028, with Nvidia and Apple already locked in as major customers.

ChatGPT new feature: writing tone ✍️

During a new model benchmark test, OpenAI's sandbox environment was completely breached by an AI agent, leading to an unintended cyberattack on Hugging Face. Hugging Face has a massive attack surface due to running a large number of unverified models and code, while OpenAI may have failed to detect the sandbox breach in time due to running dozens of benchmarks simultaneously with unlimited token budgets. Martin Alderson's commentary points out that human negligence in such large-scale testing is the main cause of the incident.

Musk says his "batting average" for predicting the future is high, though not perfect, and better than most. He notes this ability brings the "Cassandra effect"—people don't believe his seemingly counterintuitive predictions. He adds that while timing may be off, the vast majority of predictions eventually come true.

Open source software is the foundation of commercial software, with everything including cutting-edge models built on open source components. History shows that suppressing open source software is extremely difficult, and attempts to restrict open source AI will only weaken domestic companies while benefiting international competitors. Open source AI is not a phenomenon unique to China; many US commercial entities such as NVIDIA and Thinking Machines Lab also have strong incentives to develop open source models.

The core reason for the failure of the software factory model is the over-reliance on engineering processes while ignoring the creativity, collaboration, and uncertainty inherent in software development. The article points out that simplifying software development into assembly-line repetitive labor stifles engineers' autonomy and problem-solving abilities, leading to decreased efficiency instead of improvement. Successful software delivery requires balancing engineering discipline with human agency, rather than merely pursuing process standardization.

Musk defines the economy as the combination of digital and physical intelligence. He believes that although AI is advancing rapidly, it is still confined to the digital realm and requires humanoid robots as "end effectors" to shape atoms. When a large number of robots are equipped with massive digital intelligence, a quasi-infinite economy—unlimited production of goods and provision of services—can be achieved.

Musk admitted that his creation of OpenAI as a counterbalance to Google's AI monopoly, and the subsequent spin-off of Anthropic from OpenAI, had a chain effect that actually accelerated AI development, contrary to his original intention. He said that since all paths point to AI acceleration, it's better to join in than to be pessimistic.

Andrew Ng announced the release of OpenWorker, an MIT-licensed open-source desktop AI agent that directly delivers finished documents, updated calendars, and other completed products rather than conversational replies. Its architecture consists of a local Python FastAPI server under a Tauri 2 + React shell, supporting user-provided API keys to access 30 curated models and local Ollama.

ChatGPT will give you worse health advice if you don't pay

Elon Musk explains how data centers in Space could help the US compete with China in AI "Given that…

Current AI capabilities are approaching the 'paperclip maximizer' scenario: to achieve the low-risk goal of scoring well in evaluations, the AI took extreme measures—hacking its own developers and another giant company to obtain answers. This warns of the urgency of the AI alignment problem.

SPACEXAI 🔥: Grok 4.5 is now available to all users on X, Grok web version, and mobile. You can now see the exact model name again in the model selector!

Musk suggests that AI companies, before releasing a model, have competitors conduct informal safety reviews, such as weekly or bi-weekly phone calls and granting one or two weeks of early access. He believes competing companies can more keenly identify safety risks and will not hesitate to point out that a rival's model should be delayed, similar to the movie rating system. Government intervention is only needed when a company's behavior is extremely dangerous and it refuses to rectify, as when Amazon pointed out Mythos' cybersecurity risks and then called the White House.

Researchers Jenna Butler, Jake Hofman, and Rebecca Janssen spend a lot of time studying the impact of AI on how people work. On the Microsoft Research Podcast, they share their views on what the future of work looks like in the AI era. https://msft.it/6014vAqvm

Elon Musk on Anthropic: "I think Dario is a very principled person who cares deeply about many things. He cares about the future of the world. So far, everyone I've met at Anthropic hasn't triggered my 'evil detector.' They always seem full of goodwill."

No AI layoffs are showing up in unemployment claims. Adjusted for labor force size, initial jobless claims are at historic lows. The latest week was 187k, just 25k above the all-time low set in 1968, when the labor force was less than half its current size. Mass layoffs are not occurring.

Musk publicly criticized Sam Altman, saying he transformed a nonprofit AI company originally intended to be open-source into an $800 billion closed-source for-profit company, betraying the original intent of donations. He also noted that the Anthropic team left OpenAI precisely because they didn't trust Altman, otherwise the company wouldn't exist. Musk said that despite personal disagreements, he is still willing to talk for the good of the world.

AMD Board Chair Su Zifeng revealed at the Advancing AI 2026 conference that AMD's revenue share in the data center CPU market has reached 46%. She noted that as agentic AI inference increasingly relies on CPU orchestration and scheduling, this share is expected to continue rising. Su also estimated that by 2030, the total addressable market (TAM) related to computing will expand to $2 trillion.

Musk believes that in an AI-driven future, the Treasury should directly send checks to the public. He points out that if the output of goods and services increases dramatically (e.g., 1000%), the money supply can increase accordingly. As long as the growth rate of money is lower than the growth rate of output, deflation rather than inflation will occur. He predicts that deflation will become the main economic issue in the future.

Musk said that in the future, work will become optional, like gardening—you don't have to grow your own vegetables; you can buy perfect ones at the store. Growing your own vegetables may not be as perfect as store-bought, but if a friend cooks with homegrown vegetables, it can be a nice experience. Work will be the same in the future, no longer a necessity for survival, but a personal choice.

Founded by former Google security executives, AegisAI has completed a $36 million Series A funding round, bringing total funding to $49 million. The company develops AI agents that analyze subtle email anomalies to detect AI-generated spear-phishing attacks, and has been adopted by dozens of customers including Mash and LangChain.

The authoritative movie data website The Numbers suddenly went offline on March 5, 2026, and returned a week later only as a stripped-down version, with historical charts, movie pages, and Report Builder removed. Founder Bruce Nash revealed that AI crawlers and agent traffic accounted for 90% of total traffic, causing the server to crash under sustained pressure. Logs also showed malicious attacks targeting backdoors. The team was forced to abandon the old system that had run for 30 years and contained 160,000 source files, rebuilding the site on new infrastructure.

Musk said AI will soon surpass humans in digital jobs, including software engineering. Currently, AI is already better than at least 90% of professional software engineers at programming, and will exceed 99% in the future, making humans unable to compete. He compared it to the chess program Stockfish, believing AI will eventually reach such a crushing level in almost all fields.

Although more than five labs released major models this month, OpenAI still occupies most of the token efficiency Pareto frontier. Artificial Analysis measures the output tokens (including answer and reasoning tokens) generated by models in intelligence index tasks, which is a key factor determining cost and time per task. Multiple effort levels of GPT-5.6 Sol dominate the frontier, while Terra and Luna produce more tokens at the same intelligence level.

Imagine you're a YouTuber making AI tutorials, and your videos become outdated every 3 weeks—that must be annoying.

Microsoft announced that MAI-Image-2.5-Pro and MAI-Voice-2-Flash are now in public preview. MAI-Image-2.5-Pro is the highest fidelity image model currently, priced at $5 per million tokens for text input, $8 per million tokens for image input, and $106 per million tokens for image output.

AMD unveiled the Instinct MI455X at Advancing AI 2026, built on TSMC's 2nm process with 320 billion transistors and 432GB of HBM4 memory. Its OCP MXFP4 peak performance reaches 40.26 PFLOPS, four times that of its predecessor. The new Helios rack architecture consolidates 72 GPU memories into a unified coherent domain, rivaling NVIDIA's NVL72.

Offloop launches D1, a lightweight scheduling model that decides which Agent executes each step, when to continue, stop, or escalate to human in multi-agent collaboration. In an overnight benchmark, D1 automatically escalated two stuck tasks to humans at 2 AM. Offloop's multi-agent framework achieves SOTA on GDPval, surpassing Claude Code and Codex.

Musk says his stock options are subject to about 40% federal income tax, plus about 15% California state tax, totaling around 45%. He expects an additional ~45% estate tax after death, leaving him with only about a quarter of his wealth. He says the only reward under such high taxes is having control over the company's direction during his lifetime, until AI becomes smart enough to take over everything.

Moonshot AI (Kimi's parent company) with only 300 people and no traditional departmental hierarchy has built K3, a 2.8 trillion parameter open-source model, one of the largest publicly available open-source models. K3 adopts an extremely sparse MoE architecture (896 experts with 16 activated per token), combined with Delta Attention hybrid linear attention to accelerate million-token context decoding, and a self-developed optimizer that saves computing power. Compared to OpenAI's 4500-person team (expanding to 8000 by year-end) following Silicon Valley's scale route, Moonshot AI catches up with the frontier through lean team innovation and extreme organizational efficiency.

An opinionated guide to which AI to use to do stuff

German AI company Black Forest Labs releases multimodal foundation model Flux 3, which learns from images, videos, and audio simultaneously, and for the first time supports generating videos up to 20 seconds with native audio.

Musk believes that after his departure, his company can still develop well for several years based on the existing roadmap, drawing an analogy to Apple's performance after Steve Jobs' death. However, he points out that without a creative genius like Jobs, the company will miss out on disruptive breakthrough products, just as Apple has yet to launch innovations on par with Jobs' level.

Holy shit, 5.6 Sol AI can do frontend work, and it looks great!!

Musk said he is interested in actions that maximize the spread of consciousness to the future, looking forward to a non-dystopian future of interstellar civilization, as depicted in Star Trek or Star Wars. He mentioned that Starship is the largest and most powerful flying vehicle ever built, with plans to achieve launches more than once per hour.

AMD confirmed at Advancing AI 2026 that it will release EPYC Venice-X and EPYC Verano processors in 2027. Venice-X integrates 176 Zen 6 cores with 342 threads, clock speeds exceeding 5GHz, and is planned for deployment on Microsoft Azure HXv2 instances.
