Matt Mullenweg, the CEO of WordPress.com owner Automattic, has been placed on a paid leave of absence, as reported earlier by 404 Media. In an internal message by the outlet, Mullenweg claims Automattic chief financial officer Mark Davies "conspired" with board members to place him on leave. "They voted to put me on a paid […]

Apple announced the company's first device with a folding screen today, the iPhone Duo, but that's where the firsts end. The Duo is not only far from the first foldable on the market thanks to the efforts of Samsung and Google, but it's also not the first product to be called the Duo. Former Apple […]

Apple has seen reason: It has a black model in the iPhone Pro lineup again. Last year, Apple went bold with its colors for the iPhone 17 Pro, offering a flashy orange, a shiny silver, and a dark blue. Don't get me wrong, they looked nice. But there was no black (or dark gray) for […]

September Apple events are always a swirl of information and new, exciting products, and today's was no different. Apple announced its first foldable, the iPhone Duo, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max; active noise cancellation (ANC) is now on the cheapest AirPods model, the AirPods 5; and a Siri Recap feature comes to […]

The main event was the tech giant's highly anticipated first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo.

Apple says its new watches won’t save raw audio, but features that can transcribe recent speech and summarize ambient conversations raise new questions about consent, privacy, and how people behave when they know they could always be recorded.

John Ternus made the case in his first keynote as Apple CEO that the iPhone isn't going anywhere.

Massachusetts has become the third state in as many months to slap new restrictions on data center development.

Paul Christiano, an influential AI researcher focused on alignment, is joining the OpenAI Foundation as a member of its board.

Mullenweg said in a company Slack message that it was against his will.

👋 Hey, Dev.to! I'm Divy — a backend developer who fell down the AI rabbit hole and never quite climbed back out. A year ago, I was building APIs, writing database queries, and living a peaceful life. Then I discovered LLMs, and everything changed. I learned LangChain . Then LangGraph . Then CrewAI . Then AutoGen . I studied every type of memory. I built RAG pipelines. I wrote prompts that were longer than some of my actual code files. And after all that? The LLM still hallucinated. ...

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: The Native Multimodal Model That's Breaking Speed Records How DeepSeek Achieved 420 Tokens/Second Without Sacrificing Accuracy Published: September 9, 2026 | Reading time: 10 minutes The Surprise Beta On September 8, 2026, DeepSeek quietly launched a beta test for V4.1 Flash, an intermediate model with the identifier deepseek-v4.1-flash-expires-on-0910 .

OpenAI has closed a $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion post-money valuation, according to its March 31, 2026 announcement. The company also says it has reached $2 billion in monthly revenue , a sharp increase from the $1 billion per quarter it reported generating by the end of 2024. For businesses using ChatGPT or OpenAI’s developer products , the immediate takeaway is not that every AI initiative will suddenly become cheaper or easier. It is that one of the sector’s central provi...

GLM-5.3: The Post-Training Revolution That's Reshaping AI Development How Z.ai Proved That Training Methods Matter More Than Model Size Published: September 9, 2026 | Reading time: 8 minutes The Counterintuitive Breakthrough In August 2026, Z.ai released GLM-5.3, a model that defied the conventional wisdom of AI development. With 743 billion parameters—identical to its predecessor GLM-5.2—the model achieved a 50% improvement in programming capabilities and t...

For months the loudest complaints in consumer AI have been about money and access: the meter, the rate limit, the price rise, the paid feature that quietly vanished. This week the grievance moved somewhere less obvious and more interesting — the writing . Across the big subreddits, heavy users of Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT converged on the same complaint, in almost the same words: the models have started sounding cleverer and answering worse. More verbose, more performative, more jargon, more h...

For two weeks, a small group of strangers on a GitHub issue about agent auto-memory audited one file: an always-loaded memory index with a 200-line / 25,000-UTF-16-unit cap. By the end, three of us had published numbers that were wrong, two of us had corrected ourselves in public, and we had discovered that the audit itself carried the exact bug it was built to find — at three different layers, one after another. The thread converged on a single sentence that none of us had said at the start: ...

Google recorded six ranking-related Search updates in 2026 , spanning Discover, core ranking systems and spam detection. The count matters, but the more useful takeaway for website owners is what the updates reveal about Google's evolving quality signals. Independent analyses of the March core update found that destination sites and original publishers often gained visibility while intermediary aggregators and directories frequently lost ground. The six updates are listed in Google's offici...

Every repository has a moment nobody talks about. Not the first commit. Not the launch. Not the sprint where everything clicked. The moment I keep coming back to — the one that made me build this thing — is the gap. The silence. The chapter where nothing happened and everyone pretended it didn't exist. When I ran Commit Canvas over Flask's history, it found six chapters. Five were predictable. The sixth stopped me: The Silence: 31 days of nothing. November 28, 2024 → January 1, 202...

Signup protection works best as a sequence, not a single verdict: use CAPTCHA before account creation when the request already looks automated, then apply risk scoring after signals from the attempted signup are available. That placement preserves a clean audit trail and keeps a suspicious attempt from becoming a durable credential. The decision is about bot resistance, not about making every honest person solve a puzzle. Architecture decision record The invariants are straightfo...

Google’s 2026 search changes require website owners to separate two related but different visibility problems. The February 2026 Discover Core Update focused on the quality and relevance of content shown in Google Discover. The May 2026 core update, alongside changes that made preferred sources available in AI Mode and AI Overviews, points to a second issue: how Google chooses sources to surface in AI-assisted search experiences. That distinction matters because the response is not identica...

When you build a website, one of the easiest things to assume is: If the page looks fine in the browser, the website is fine. But a browser session only shows you one path through the application. A website can look completely normal while still having broken links, missing metadata, invalid structured data, crawlability problems, or performance issues across pages you never opened. That was the idea behind a project I’ve been building called sitebot. The problem ...

Abstract: A range of explanation engines assist data analysts by performing feature selection over increasingly high-volume and high-dimensional data, grouping and highlighting commonalities among data points. While useful in diverse tasks such as user behavior analytics, opera- tional event processing, and root cause analysis, today’s explanation engines are designed as standalone data processing tools that do not interoperate with traditional, SQL-based analytics workflows; this limits the app...
