OpenAI Slashes GPT-5.6 Luna AI Model Price by 80%
OpenAI cut the price of GPT-5.6 Luna by 80% this week, dropping the smallest model in its frontier lineup to $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens.
Brain Waves Could Guide AI on When to Learn, Neuroscientist Says
Andrew Ceja spent part of last week in a San Leandro warehouse pulling wooden blocks from a Jenga tower, slowly, one at a time, while wearing a headset that tracked his eyes and his brain waves.
Trump to Announce Utility Companies’ AI Energy Pledge Thursday
Nearly 200 utility companies and data center developers have signed on to President Trump's "rate payer protection pledge," a commitment his administration first floated in March to shield ordinary Americans from the rising cost of powering AI.
NVIDIA Decoding Cuts Color Code Error Rates by Over 300X
NVIDIA researchers say a new decoder built on Ising machine principles has knocked down logical error rates for color codes by more than 300 times compared to earlier methods.
Specialized Model Cuts ASR Errors With 15x Fewer Parameters Than LLMs
A team of six researchers, including Zijin Gu, Tatiana Likhomanenko and Navdeep Jaitly, is pushing back on the assumption that fixing speech-to-text errors requires a large language model.
Analytical AI predicts outcomes but isn’t agentic, experts say
The difference between an AI that predicts an outcome and one that makes a choice is what separates analytical AI from agentic AI.
Internet, cloud, and big data drive AI into large‑model era, but use stalls
Everyone is building AI brains. Now they's all shouting in different languages. The bet was simple: more data plus more computing equals smarter machines. It worked. Giants trained on internet-scale information can write, draw, and reason.
Ads Systems Include Eligibility Checks, Auctions, Budgets, Caps, Logging
Most machine learning projects die in production, throttled by the unglamorous infrastructure engineers often loathe building. Anyone can train a ranking model.
Meta to tighten AI token use with budgets, allocations and new AI Gateway
Meta’s engineers were gaming the system. The internal leaderboard called “Claudeonomics” tracked who could consume the most AI tokens, 73.7 trillion in just over a month.
Armstrong predicts 20% of AI workloads will stay on latest‑gen models
The demand for intelligence is effectively infinite, but the cost of delivering it is not. Armstrong’s calculus cuts through the hype: within 12 to 18 months, 80% of AI workloads will migrate to models that are 99% cheaper.
New Engineers Should Build End‑to‑End Projects to Attract AI‑Era Employers
The era of the lone coder solving isolated puzzles is fading. Today’s AI-driven market demands something broader: engineers who see the whole picture, from messy requirement to scaled product. A fragmented GitHub snippet won’t cut it.
Figma Make adds two-way GitHub link to turn designs into code; stock falls 81%
Figma's stock cratered 81% from its post-IPO high. That collapse, down to around $21 a share by May 2026, frames a desperate gambit. The company's response is Figma Make, a feature that pushes designers directly into GitHub's domain.
AI token futures to trade like gold and oil despite thin token infrastructure
We're about to trade something that barely exists. AI token futures are coming to financial exchanges, a plan to buy and sell the raw material of intelligence like pork bellies. The whole thing is wildly premature.
Robinhood Enables AI Agents to Trade Stocks and Buy with Credit Cards
The news hits like a jolt of caffeine: Robinhood is handing the keys to your portfolio over to an AI agent.
OpenAI's AI achieves 'milestone in AI mathematics,' say Gowers, Shankar
An algorithm has found a proof for a problem that once required human intuition. Mathematician Timothy Gowers calls it "a milestone in AI mathematics." For number theorist Arul Shankar, it demonstrates that AI models can now generate original ideas...
NVIDIA and Google Cloud let developers scale AI from prototype to production
The gap between a promising AI prototype and a production-grade system has always been treacherous. One wrong turn, a bottleneck in training, a scaling failure at inference, and the whole pipeline stalls.
Google’s Gemini Spark expands AI access to user data, raising trust concerns
Google sells convenience. The price is your entire life. At Google I/O 2026, a company executive sketched a future where AI is your most trusted advisor. It knows your browsing habits, your travel patterns, who you talk to.
Anthropic warns: defend computing lead or risk AI under authoritarian rule
America's lead in artificial intelligence is a temporary advantage, not a birthright. The AI firm Anthropic has issued a warning that strips the situation down to its ugly mechanics.
Meta to log employee keystrokes, mouse activity, screenshots for AI training
Your boss watches your screen. Now, Meta will do the same, but with a twist. Every click, every keystroke, every window you open: logged, recorded, and fed into the maw of an AI training model.
May 8 WIRED livestream panel tackles Musk vs. Altman and OpenAI's future
The legal fight between Elon Musk and Sam Altman now turns on a question central to artificial intelligence: who owns it? Musk has sued OpenAI, the company Altman runs, arguing it abandoned its founding open-source mission for corporate profit.
