A researcher burns through his entire Claude Max token limit in just 30 minutes after launching 111 AI agents, then redesigns his pipeline by assigning cheaper models to basic tasks, reserving frontier models for planning only, and enforcing strict verification rules — cutting agent usage by 45% and extending research …
Z.ai is closing in on $1 billion in annual sales, positioning it to become the first independent Chinese AI firm to hit the milestone, fueled by a sixtyfold surge in API revenue and aggressive open-sourcing of its most powerful models — though it remains lossmaking and heavily reliant on state-owned …
A new open-source tool called Conversation Stenography lets users hide AES-SIV encrypted messages inside AI-generated chat text, enabling covert communication across any messaging platform without ever sending data unencrypted or to the cloud.
MoonshotAI launches Kimi Code CLI, an open-source terminal-based AI coding agent that reads and edits code, runs shell commands, and fetches web pages — featuring single-binary installation, video input support, parallel subagents, and ACP editor integration with Zed and JetBrains, already earning over 4,100 GitHub stars.
Alphabet shares tumble 4% as its flagship Gemini 3.5 Pro AI model faces months-long delays due to coding performance struggles, leaving Google scrambling to keep pace with rivals OpenAI and Meta who are already debuting powerful new AI coding models.
