The fact that the hyperscalers are even in preliminary talks with Moonshot AI really makes it feel like the game is starting to change when it comes to frontier model development

China's Kimi K3 Could Soon Run on Microsoft, Google and Amazon: What Is Moonshot AI?

Moonshot AI is reportedly negotiating revenue-sharing deals with Microsoft, Google and Amazon to host its Kimi K3 model on their cloud platforms.

Hello, #Attie!

I'm participating in the beta test for Alexa+ in Japan, and the quality of the Japanese language has clearly declined. In particular, there are many cases where Japanese-specific expressions and the readings of Kanji characters are incorrect.

Some big news: @ducklabs.com is joining AWS, with the move expected to complete by early September. Our team will stay together in Amsterdam, with more resources to take DuckDB, DuckLake and Quack further - while the open-source Duck Stack remains free under MIT license ducklabs.com/news/2026/08...

DuckLabs to Join AWS, Projects to Remain Open Source

DuckLabs provides services around the DuckDB in-process OLAP data management system directly from its main developers.

Text is about the only thing you can still post safely online. Images, videos, and audio pose too much risk, and nowhere feels safe anymore.

And expensive frontier models are no longer necessarily the ones being chosen

Businesses Are Shunning Anthropic’s Fable 5 for Cheaper Models

Turns out “good enough” is more popular than state-of-the-art when you have bills to pay.

With the rise of open-weight models and SLMs, business models based on token consumption may become unsustainable, then what justifies the market valuations of OpenAI and Anthropic?

I recently realized that #Cube supports MCP connections. Since Cube not only allows you to define data access APIs semantically but also enables access control for specific data, it seems to have quite a few potential uses.

MCP server - Cube Documentation

Connect MCP-aware assistants to Cube through a hosted HTTPS endpoint with OAuth and admin-managed defaults.

Sakana AI's smartest strategy is simply staying out of the frontier model scale-up race, a game that demands tons of compute and funding. Since their system doesn't rely on any single company's frontier models, it also has a strong advantage in diversifying geopolitical risks.

We are creating a new kind of foundation model based on nature-inspired intelligence.

Loop engineering is great, but I think we're hitting a hard wall where computing power and energy just can't scale with token consumption

One of the features I found most innovative when using Claude is Artifacts. With Artifacts, you can easily create analytical dashboards based on the latest data from the internet using just a prompt. If you schedule data updates, you'll be able to view the latest analysis results every morning.

The next frontier of Recursive Self-Improvement is Physical AI. Japan sparked the robotics revolution. We’re expanding our RSI Lab to build world models that allow agentic reasoning systems to recursively self-improve their ability to simulate, plan, and act in the real world. Join us in Tokyo:

If your goal was to seed a 100M+ network, you couldn't wish for a better set of 10M monthly active users than Bluesky's. Of course Threads numbers are gamed to hell by Meta's aggressive cross-app integration and paid marketing. What remains of Twitter is still the incumbent competitor.

Mike Masnick@masnick.com · 4w ago

And for at least a bit of real world data, Bluesky continues to be the largest single source of traffic (after search) to @techdirt.com. I don't think Threads has ever shown up in any list of referrers. Ever.

Nowadays our job as humans is to serve as mentors and supervisors for these AI agents

actually let me do better: i'm giving 6 months of the patreon for free for any artist that wants to use the repost queue, just send me a dm to get a code!

deck.blue@deck.blue · last mo.

And once again, if you don't have money to pay for the Patreon, that's totally fine and I'm able to gift you with 3 months for free for you to try it out! Artists are the driving force of Bluesky and I want to build the definitive tool for you!

I've been handling pretty much all my daily tasks remotely using Claude Code and Claude Cowork. Most of the time, I don't even need my laptop anymore—it's great to finally be location-independent.

The small deal by #Rigetti marks a shift in #quantum-computing. It reflects a move from cloud systems (often controlled by big tech) to on-premise solutions, mirroring how supercomputers evolved from exclusive tools to widespread business use. Quantum computing is now entering a commercial phase.

I'm finally comfortable using the #Kiro IDE, and it’s been great to bring so many of my ideas to life with Kiro Agent these past few months. They're mostly just personal tools, but they’ve really improved my productivity.

Amazon's #QuickSuite looks like a game-changer. Its seamless integration with #AWS ecosystem could make it a powerful tool for existing users, potentially impacting the AI market. Also, Amazon’s #QuickSuite could signal a move into business apps, potentially challenging Microsoft and Google.

Amazon is ready to enter the AI agent race in a big way, according to internal documents

The cloud giant has struggled to make serious inroads in the lucrative SaaS market. Agentic AI could give the company another chance.

Vibe coding is like whipping up quick props with a 3D printer. It's not quite ready for massive applications, but it's a slick hack for patching small coding hiccups—like using duct tape to fix a leaky pipe. The results might look janky, but it gets the job done.
