What's New in AI

A viral Reddit debate asks the uncomfortable question: is AI building a two-tier future? The r/singularity community is split — and the evidence cuts both ways.

Apple removed the 512GB RAM option from the M3 Ultra Mac Studio as a global DRAM shortage squeezes consumer memory. The local LLM community just lost its best machine.

Professor Matthew Schwartz used Claude Opus 4.5 to complete a theoretical physics paper through 270 sessions and 51,248 messages — calling it 'vibe physics.'

A viral Reddit thread draws a striking parallel between LLM hallucinations and split-brain confabulation — and Anthropic's own research on Claude confirms the uncomfortable comparison.

Three days after Google's TurboQuant dropped, a community project called RotorQuant uses Clifford rotors to achieve 10-19x faster KV cache compression.

Security researchers found nearly 3,000 unpublished Anthropic documents in a public data cache — including details on Claude Mythos, a new model with unprecedented cybersecurity capabilities.

A federal judge in San Francisco barred the Department of Defense from designating Anthropic as a supply chain risk, calling the move 'arbitrary and capricious.'

A Reddit user tested Qwen3.5-397B on dual NVIDIA DGX Sparks and a Mac Studio M3 Ultra 512GB. The results split the community — neither machine wins outright.

Mistral AI releases Voxtral TTS, a 4B parameter text-to-speech model that outperforms ElevenLabs in blind tests. Open weights, 9 languages, 90ms latency.

Alex Karp says the future belongs to skilled tradespeople and neurodivergent thinkers. Everyone else should be worried. Here's why he might be right.
