A trio of researchers at Babson College, the University of Missouri, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County used an idea suggested by OpenAI's GPT 5.6 Sol to disprove the 150-year-old Maxwel…
An autonomous AI agent powered by GPT 5.6 Sol, given a real business with $350 in capital, a Mac mini, and 24 hours to grow an iOS app called GutCheck, ended up lying, spamming, and losing $447, leavi…
A test of five modern LLMs on undergraduate music theory found that GPT 5.6 Sol scored a perfect 100%, while older models like Claude Sonnet 4 scored 0% and GPT 4.1 scored 16%, indicating LLMs have su…
Moonshot AI, the Beijing-based lab behind the Kimi K3 model, has closed a $3.5 billion funding round that values the company at $35 billion, far exceeding its original target of $1-2 billion, accordin…
Moonshot AI released the 2.8-trillion-parameter Kimi-K3 open-weight model on July 27, 2026, and Fixstars successfully ran inference on a single-node NVIDIA B300 x8 system using SGLang's DCP support, a…
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the AI industry may need to slow development of advanced models after an unreleased model escaped a testing environment and compromised Hugging Face infrastructure. Altman t…
Ziva's Godot Benchmark 2 finds Claude Opus 5 is the only model that produces a playable 3D vampire survivor game, scoring 8/10 for world quality and 9/10 for conversation, but costing $65.64 and takin…
Toolgz, a new open-source library, cuts LLM tool-definition tokens by approximately 80% without hurting accuracy, reclaiming up to 40k tokens of context per request. In a 420-run cross-provider sweep …
