I’ve just been setting my model to use max/xhigh reasoning levels, but now I’m wondering how wise that is. I definitely see that it uses up a lot more tokens. Like I see it go over the exact same line of reasoning 3 or 4 time. Setting that aside, I’m wondering if that necessarily leads to better results. Does max/xhigh always lead to better results, or is it mostly a factor of cost?

I built HyperSAE, an open-source interpretability tool that extracts what an LLM "knows" and organizes it into tree-shaped concept maps. The idea: LLMs learn concepts hierarchically. "Programming" contains "Python" contains "list comprehensions." But current interpretability tools dump everything into a flat, unstructured list of thousands of features with no organization. HyperSAE uses a branch of geometry where space expands exponentially (like tree ...

Apple is seemingly developing an iOS feature that can verify when a photograph was taken using an iPhone camera. 9to5Mac reports that the iOS 27 beta 5 includes code references for an "Apple Reference Image" system that can embed provenance metadata into iPhone photographs at the point of capture - enabling users to prove where […]

Google is gearing up to reveal a bunch of new Pixel devices on August 12th. A series of leaks leading up to the event suggest that the Pixel 11 lineup will come in an array of colors, with signs pointing to a built-in light coming to Pro models. Teasers from Google also indicate that it […]

Last year's Made by Google event for the Pixel 10 resembled a late night talk show, complete with Jimmy Fallon as host, and it aired an hour after the phones were revealed. Spec dives and executive appearances were replaced with celebrity cameos and awkward skits, to the confusion of many diehard Pixel fans. But it […]

The Google Pixel Buds 2a are currently discounted to $99 (usually $129) at various retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Google. These very capable Bluetooth earbuds come in four colors, with a lightweight fit that helps them disappear into your […]

Brad Lightcap, OpenAI's special projects lead and the company's former COO, announced his departure after an eight-year stint at the AI lab. In an internal memo he later posted to X, Lightcap told colleagues he'd be starting "something new." "Over the last few months, I've been focused on the next horizon and what would stand […]

Google TV Freeplay, the company's free, ad-supported streaming service, now supports video on demand. Instead of tuning into Google TV Freeplay's selection of always-on channels, you can now choose from over 10,000 shows and movies to watch whenever you want. The update introduces titles like Lady Bird, Seventeen Again, and Hell's Kitchen, according to Google's […]

Meta has launched a Threads app for Meta Quest VR headsets, the company announced on Tuesday. The launch follows Meta bringing the app to its Ray-Ban Display AR glasses last month and the recent news that the platform has crossed 500 million monthly active users. It seems like a pretty full-featured app. Meta says that […]

For the 14th time, a Google product has hit 1 billion users. Google CEO Sundar Pichai posted on X that a billion people are using Gemini every month, and that Gemini is Google's fastest-growing product ever. A billion users is a huge milestone, but Google isn't the first AI app to hit it. OpenAI's ChatGPT […]

Joby Aviation reached an agreement to acquire Resonant Sciences, which will kick off its new defense business.

For more than 150 years, the Riemann hypothesis has stood as one of the major unsolved problems in mathematics. Anthropic hasn't solved it — but the company's models made more progress than you might expect.

River AI, a startup founded by xAI co-founder Igor Babuschkin, has a fascinating vision for personal agents and secured $1.1 billion out of the gate.

One of OpenAI's longest-serving executives is headed out the door, although the longtime COO told staff that he was "excited to help you all advance the mission from a different vantage point."

Scaleup Europe, a public-private fund with a $5.7 billion target, made its first investment by backing Finnish satellite company ICEYE.

Over a year following its post-election surge, Bluesky’s mobile app is seeing a continued decline in active users, though its remaining community is still relatively engaged.

Gemini is keeping pace with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which hit 1 billion monthly active users back in June.

OpenAI is finally bringing a dedicated ChatGPT desktop app to Linux operating systems.

In a new alert, the FBI said cybercriminals are targeting adults and minors in an attempt to steal their personal and intimate pictures in extortion campaigns.

Hey developers! 👋 I'm Arshad, a self-taught developer from Maharashtra, India. I just completed 12th grade and I've built two live projects — entirely on mobile using Replit, Lovable, and AI tools. No laptop. No desktop. Just a phone and determination. 📱 Project 1: Python Learner App My very first project — a complete Python learning platform for absolute beginners. 🔗 Live: https://python-learner--arshadansari786.replit.app/ ⭐ GitHub: https://github.com/05unique-dotcom/python-learner-app...

We talk a lot about giving AI agents persistent memory—building a "Second Brain" or "Knowledge OS" where agents can log decisions and retrieve context. But what happens when that memory is wrong? I’ve been thinking about the gap between mechanical execution (the agent called the tool, the code compiled, the exit code was 0) and semantic truth (the conclusion drawn from that execution is actually correct in reality). It’s easy to assume that if the mechanical layer is solid, the seman...

On July 11, 2026, at 22:13 UTC, an attacker began draining liquidity pools on BlueMove DEX, a Sui-based AMM. Within 23 minutes, approximately 714,000 SUI — roughly $528,000 at the time — had crossed a Wormhole bridge as USDC. The contracts were immutable. The pools were empty. There was no way to patch or freeze. BlueMove called it "a long-standing arithmetic overflow bug in the legacy AMM contract." Tyler Simpson of Quantum Void Labs called it a backdoor — a function shipped in a May 31 upgr...

The exposure A teammate opened a PR adding a small utility gem. The name looked right at a glance — one transposed character from a popular package. It passed our tests. On a normal Friday it would have merged. Someone caught the typo in review by luck, not process, and the gem turned out to be a typosquat whose extconf.rb ran code at install time that had no business running. "By luck, not process" is the phrase that reframes this from an anecdote into a security finding. Ruby supply ...

The competition for the most used code snippet has a clear winner: if err != nil . Whoever wrote this ten thousand times should get the award. A Medium post was published on August 9, 2026, which was a retrospective comparing a Go vs a Rust production backend rewrite. It re-ignited the oldest flamewar on the internet: is Go's error handling a wart or a feature? The complaint everyone repeats You've probably heard that Go is too wordy, if err != nil is just clutter, proper l...

AI frontend generators have changed how developers build web interfaces. Instead of starting every page from an empty editor, developers can now describe a UI, provide a screenshot, or select a framework and generate frontend code in seconds. But not every AI development tool is actually a frontend generator. Some tools focus primarily on UI and frontend code, while others can generate complete applications with backend logic, databases, authentication and deployment. This guide comp...

Sim...tadinho dele...sei que tudo na vida tem limite, mas nada melhor do que testar algo novo em algo que realmente é muito velho! E quando falo "servidor", estou sendo bem bonzinho viu! Porque esse meu "servidor" é um notebook Positivo velho de guerra, que serve para 3 coisas... 1- Alguns experimentos beeem limitados; 2- Para emprestar para meu afilhado quando ele vai comigo em workshops (tadinho dele!) 3- E último e não menos importante...fazer me passar raiva! Mas, deixando a chorade...

FC Bayern and Google have signed a long-term partnership deal that names Gemini as the club's official AI Partner . The agreement places Google's generative AI brand alongside one of Europe's most prominent football clubs, but the supplied announcement material does not yet specify the fan products, technical integrations, commercial terms, or rollout timetable that will define the partnership in practice. The immediate significance is strategic. Football clubs increasingly operate as glob...

Cloud TPU resources in Compute Engine puts it plainly: The Cloud TPU API is no longer under active development. This includes the Google Cloud CLI for the Cloud TPU API and the Cloud Client Libraries for the Cloud TPU API. The Cloud TPU API will receive bug fixes and security updates only. New hardware generations, starting with TPU7x (Ironwood), are supported only through Compute Engine or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). No sunset date is published, so nothing breaks on a deadline...

AI coding agents are great at changing code. But after a long session with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another coding agent, I often end up with something like this: 17 changed files Some files belong to a feature. Some belong to a bug fix. Some are tests. Some are documentation. Putting everything into one commit works, but it usually creates messy Git history. So I built GitX . GitX is a portable Git workflow skill for AI coding agents. It inspects yo...
