AIMeta's Head of Infrastructure, Santosh Janardhan, discusses the company's approach to building infrastructure for AI in a conversation with Tom Shaw. The discussion covers why Meta views itself as more than a software company, why AI differs from other technologies, and why data centers are essential to AI development. It also addresses power for Meta's AI infrastructure, gigawatt-scale energy needs, chip selection, and the benefits of building its own data centers.

AIAndrew Curran notes two posts five hours apart as a gauge of how fast progress is moving. The linked update tightens the bound on OpenAI problem #109 (integer multiplication) to κ = 2⁻⁵⁹, down from OpenAI's original κ = 2⁻¹⁸².

AITeknium, a Nous Research affiliate, posted only the word "hello" on X. The quoted post from Nous Research announces a Series B raise to advance Hermes Agent and build a mobile app, with investors including NVIDIA and Samsung Next.

AIAnthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5, which it calls the fastest, cheapest, and most capable Haiku model so far. On average it costs about 75% less to run than Haiku 4.5, with input at $0.10 and output at $0.50 per million tokens for requests up to 100,000 tokens. Anthropic also cut Sonnet 5.5's cache read price from $0.20 to $0.10 per million tokens, which it says lowers run costs by about 20% on many agent tasks.

AIOpenAI says Codex and ChatGPT Work together reached 40,000,000 users, a new high for the company. To celebrate, paid accounts will receive a banked reset starting end of day Pacific time.

AIThe main post is a short reply saying reports of a company's death have been greatly exaggerated, with no details about products or figures. The background post from @h_nilforoshan reports that OpenAI's Decisions API, billed as a "Jev-killer," was benchmarked against Jev for HiringCafe, which serves 2.5 million users. On the task of scoring job-description relevance from 1 to 10, the author reports OpenAI costing 2x more and performing 5-10% worse.

AIOpenAI announced on X that GPT-6 and Intelligent UI are now rolling out to all ChatGPT users, after GPT-6 Astra, Sol and Luna were previously limited to ChatGPT Work and Codex. Intelligent UI lets GPT-6 combine text, images and interactive elements such as charts, clickable buttons and forms, with a mahjong learning example shown.

AIOpenAI says ChatGPT now offers Intelligent UI, which returns answers with fully interactive user interfaces. GPT-6 is rolling out in ChatGPT, powered by GPT-6 Sol for Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers and GPT-6 Luna for Free and Go tiers. The rollout begins globally today in the Chat tab for paid tiers, with Free and Go tiers following tomorrow.

AIThe post says users can ask the Grok bot to find all feedback about what they are building, summarize it, and propose a plan to address it, without needing an X account or connector. The background post notes that Grok Bot can now search, read, and monitor X.

AIGrok can be asked to track feedback on a product, follow a breaking story, or send a weekly roundup of an industry. The post says the feature is available to all users and does not require setting up the X connector.

AIMark Chen recommends trying Intelligent UI, a ChatGPT feature where every completion can create a custom interface. He calls it useful for learning new things. The quoted OpenAI post says GPT-6 and Intelligent UI are rolling out in ChatGPT for everyone, providing interactive answers and on-the-spot tools.

AINoam Brown says LLMs have crossed a threshold by surpassing top human experts on some research problems, a jump that makes the recent surge in math results feel sudden. He expects breakthroughs in other domains to follow as models keep improving, though capabilities remain jagged and often still weaker than humans.

AICognition's X post links to a blog post at devin.ai about Claude Haiku 5.5, but the text provides no further details. The post itself offers no benchmark scores, prices, or capabilities to report.

AISchneider Electric will acquire industrial design and data management firm PTC Inc. for about $22.6 billion, aiming to connect product design with operations through a digital thread. Interact Analysis says the deal could narrow Schneider's portfolio gap with Siemens, but integration with AVEVA and Cognite and the 42.3% premium weighed on Schneider's shares after the announcement.

AIVercel says Browserbase Search and Fetch tools are now available on AI Gateway, letting any model with tool calling search the web and read pages. Browserbase presents the tools as a way to reliably search and extract page contents through an existing Vercel plan.

AIPerplexity's open-weights multimodal decision model, pplx-decider-v1.1-27b, is now available on OpenRouter. It accepts text, JSON, or images and returns typed answers with probabilities, priced at $0.02 per million input tokens with free output.

AISnorkel AI is expanding its Open Benchmarks Grants tenfold to a $30M commitment to fund more diverse, robust, and continuously updated open AI benchmarks. The program adds an Open Benchmarks Red Team to test and strengthen those benchmarks, plus a Snorkel Research Fellowship for independent researchers developing new evaluation methods. The source says OBG-funded benchmarks have appeared on model cards from every major frontier lab.

AIEthan Mollick had early access to Intelligent UI and found it a welcome change from long blocks of text. He suggests interfaces will increasingly be built on demand for each user's problem. The quoted OpenAI post says GPT-6 and Intelligent UI are rolling out in ChatGPT for everyone, delivering fast, interactive answers with visual explanations and task tools.

AISimon Willison published notes on the pricing of Claude Haiku 5.5, alongside his pelican illustration tests. The post links to his full write-up for details.

AIPerplexity's open-weights multimodal decision model, Decider v1.1, is now available on OpenRouter. It accepts text, JSON, or images and returns typed answers with probabilities, priced at $0.02 per million input tokens with free output. Perplexity says it scores highest on Hugging Face's new Decision Index 0.3 benchmark and costs half as much as v1.

AIAnthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, priced at $0.10 input and $0.50 output per million tokens up to 100,000 tokens, matching GPT-6 Luna. Beyond 100,000 tokens the price rises to $0.50 and $2.50, and the author found the new tokenizer uses about 1.25x as many tokens as Haiku 4.5 on the same long prompt. The model cannot disable reasoning and defaults to medium effort.

AIEnvato has launched Burst Mode, which starts from a rough idea or reference image and generates up to six image directions side by side. Users can steer those directions with moodboards and a creativity control ranging from focused to wild. Envato says it can produce up to six directions at once, up to 10× faster, for one AI credit.

AIAnthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot, a lightweight model built for fast, high-volume work such as subagents, quick edits, and terminal tasks. GitHub's early testing found it matched Claude Sonnet 5 on many coding tasks while using significantly fewer tokens and steps. It can be used in the GitHub Copilot app, CLI, or @code.

AIAnthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, its cheapest and fastest small model, priced at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 100K tokens. It keeps a 1M token context window, up to 128K output tokens, and is generally available on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry and Claude Platform on AWS. Anthropic reports 72.4% on OSWorld 2.1 (offline subset) versus 15.7% for Haiku 4.5, and the article notes that non-default temperature, top_p or top_k values return a 400 error.
