Backboard R-CLI, a small open-source terminal agent, achieved the #1 published score on Terminal-Bench 2.1 with 84.3% accuracy (75/89 tasks), beating larger competitors like Codex CLI and Claude Code. Using the same off-…
A developer argues that the first payment in an AI API workflow should be a controlled test rather than a large wallet top-up. They recommend starting with a free model to verify functionality before committing to paid m…
Midjourney is seeking to force Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. to reveal their internal use of artificial intelligence in a copyright lawsuit, arguing that the studios' own AI practices are relevant to its fair use d…
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed a first-of-its-kind data center electricity consumption tax into law on June 30, 2026, effective July 1, 2026. The tax charges data centers $0.011 per kilowatt-hour on all powe…
