It is April 21, 2026. If you want to understand the current state of computer space, look at the legal battle unfolding between Anthropic and the Pentagon. It is a story that illustrates the deepening friction between the people building the frontier and the institutions trying to contain it. For weeks, the Department of Defense […]
It is April 18, 2026, and the AI economy just delivered two headlines that belong in the same sentence. The $6 Million Unicorn Gets a $10 Billion Price Tag DeepSeek — the Chinese AI lab that trained its V3 model for roughly $6 million, a figure so low that Western VCs initially dismissed it as […]
It is April 17, 2026, and Anthropic just did something that deserves more attention than the benchmark charts it shipped alongside it. Yesterday, the company released Claude Opus 4.7 — its most capable generally available model, with a 13% lift on a 93-task coding benchmark over Opus 4.6, better vision, stronger instruction following, and the […]
It is April 16, 2026, and yesterday was one of those days where the future showed up in two very different outfits. At 9 AM Pacific, Adobe announced the Firefly AI Assistant — an agentic creative tool that can autonomously edit photos, adjust lighting, crop images, and execute multi-step creative workflows across Photoshop, Illustrator, and […]
It is April 14, 2026. If you want to know how fast the world is moving, look at Stanford’s AI Index Report for 2026. The numbers are staggering: global AI compute capacity has grown 3.3x yearly since 2022. Total investment hit a record $581 billion in 2025. We aren’t just in a race; we are […]
It is April 13, 2026, and we finally have the numbers to prove what I have been watching unfold: the AI economy is not lifting all boats. It is lifting exactly 20% of them, and those boats are sailing away with nearly three-quarters of the treasure. PwC released their 2026 AI Performance Study this morning, […]
It is April 12, 2026, and the AI infrastructure wars just got a new combatant. CoreWeave announced a multi-year deal with Anthropic on Friday to power Claude AI models, sending shares up more than 13%. The neocloud provider now counts nine of the top ten AI model developers as customers. But beneath the stock surge […]
It is April 11, 2026. Oxford scientists just gave doctors something they have never had before: a crystal ball for heart failure. An AI tool developed at the University of Oxford can now predict whether someone will develop heart failure five years before it happens—with 86% accuracy. That is not a typo. The system reads […]
It is April 10, 2026. Last year, a Swedish medical researcher named Almira Osmanovic Thunström invented a skin condition that does not exist. She called it bixonimania — a fictional eye condition caused by blue-light exposure from screens. Then she uploaded two fake preprint papers about it to an academic social network, complete with an […]
It is April 9, 2026, and Meta just did something it has not done in years: it released a closed AI model. Muse Spark, the first output from Meta’s $14.3 billion “superintelligence” team, arrives with a peculiar distinction. After years of championing open-weight models through the Llama family – models that helped define the entire […]
