Four frontier models drove a real Toyota through a cone course. GPT-6 Astra finished once in three attempts, at 0.42 m/s and $7.74; no other model finished.

Google's new voice models clone a speaker from a 30-second sample, but replication will not run in Illinois, Texas, the EEA, the UK, Switzerland or India.

A researcher asked Meta's Muse to archive its own filesystem. The agent delivered 6.8 GB of internal docs, memory files and SSH keys; Meta closed the report.

AMD has announced nothing about the Radeon RX 10800 XT. Here is the leaked 2027 launch window, the $2,000-$2,500 rumored price range and the 200-CU specs.

AMD's rumored RX 10800 XT against the shipping RTX 5090 and the rumored RTX 6090: every leaked number, the arithmetic underneath it, and what would settle it.

AMD has announced no price for the Radeon RX 10800 XT. We check the $1,000-$2,500 leak against 2026 GDDR7 contract prices and one commenter's $1,200 VRAM bill.

An r/LocalLLaMA thread argues that 12-16GB of VRAM is the realistic ceiling for local models. We test that claim against Steam's own hardware survey data.

Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 is 20% cheaper than Opus 5 and leads its own benchmark table, though a footnote says safeguards blunted the biology and cyber rows.

OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol and Luna halve API prices against promotional GPT-5.6 rates, with selective vendor benchmarks and a same-evening rival left off the tables.

OpenAI says its model has resolved more than 100 open math problems. Nine mathematicians will now advise it on how to release the results, but not on pace.
