It makes pretty sense if they think they can reach full R&D automation and AGI first.
If I'm not mistaken, Anthropic's 85% gross margin and >40% compute margin from this Bloomberg story implies that 70-75% of their compute is now going to R&D. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk. • 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active. It is the best open weights model from US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks. • State-of-the-art on critical workloads, including cyber defense, manufacturing and finance and it surpasses closed frontier models on visual grounding. • Forged in Europe end-to-end and is deployable from Europe via our own Mistral Cloud infrastructure. • Available to all via API today. Working with cybersecurity partners privately. Open weights release end of October.

i gave my ai agent (fig running on opus 5.5) access to the @runwayml MCP and using seedance 2.5, nanobanana pro, lyria & hyperframes it made this you might've seen the chunks i posted over the weekend but here's the full 27m doc i only gave notes like a producer would

Made with Claude Opus 5.5. The fearmongering about AI always makes us forget that NOTHING WENT FOOM, as was always predicted. Send this to your doomer friend who has a very high P(Doom). Accelerate.

Today I'll present Boundaryless #O2A (Open Organization Alliance) protocol at the Protocol Symposium 2026 from Protocol Institute. Livestream youtube.com/watch?v=ddUfKjoW…. The O2A is an open language to describe company world models as nodes, offerings, contracts and their compositions: it's an #opensource language that you can adopt to describe and program your organization, and it supports the convergence in operating models we're seeing since a while now - that I discussed recently in my article: "TTB 4: Everybody Is Saying the Same Thing in Organizational Development" lnkd.in/dVK3JqTt We're about to organize a presentation webinars and now collecting interest for organizations to co-author this standard so reach out if you're curious on how this can help you integrate #AI agents, and cooperate more easily internally and externally!

Apart from a few nitpicks (the chess board with... too many pieces) this is excellent. Love the dark humor.
i'm still not sure people are fully getting how good opus 5.5 i gave my claude agent fig access to the runway MCP and told it to make a 'high-end netflix style documentary about superintelligence for normies' and... it came back with this

AI knows how to assembly an IKEA cabinet. We are doomed.
Can AI tell if you've built your IKEA furniture wrong? Our new benchmark, the Furniture Assembly Benchmark (FAB), gives models the manual and a photo of a half-completed piece of furniture and asks them to spot the mistake. The top score has gone from 28% to 80% in just 10 months.

This is pure genius. An @IKEA mod for Skyrim that brings a Kallax shelf in the game. ikea.com/gb/en/cat/kallax-se… And... a wrench-shaped sword? Meatball helmets? Perfect.

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

This looks... interesting 👀 Just discovered Hemmingway-1, a model based on Qwen3.8-27B that promises to sound and write like a person than any other model around. I am going to test it out! huggingface.co/Altworld/Hemm…

Qwen 3.8 flash is truly impressive, and llama.cpp has been rapidly getting better and better at processing it columns are: pre-existing prompt, new prompt, generated, input tok/s, output tok/s This is on my laptop (strix halo). I think we're very close to the point where you can just use local models for a large share of tasks, and for anything more advanced, workflows like "use your local model to orchestrate queries to powerful models so your queries don't leak your personal information" actually become viable.
