Data brokers are collecting all sorts of internal corporate files to help train AI models. Not everyone is thrilled.
Ramp data shows AI spending stalling just as Anthropic nears its IPO
I’d love a dashboard of how much money is wasted on tokens from asking AI agents to redo work because they refused to follow instructions in the prompt or .MD file. That seems like a better efficiency dashboard for Anthropic to build than one tracking employee personal vs work related prompts.
Large language models are set to go lunar.
DoorDash says AI agents have generated only several hundred orders in total, versus 3M daily deliveries. Airbnb says agents generate almost none of its 500K daily bookings. The narrative is that AI agents will replace apps as the way consumers transact. So far, the numbers tell a different story.

I guess Qwen 4 is coming soon.
A company called Global Laser Enrichment wants to use laser technology to revive thousands of cylinders of uranium-containing waste—essentially treating old nuclear leftovers as an aboveground mine.
Thinking Machines Inkling-2-small is a good base model, but it’s also just a good model - 594B (17B active) - $0.30/$1.00 thinkingmachines.ai/news/inkling...
Delaware is considering a new kind of company, an AIC, that is run by an AI and gives AI the ability to enter into contracts, buy/sell property, initiate lawsuits and make legally binding decisions www.delawareinc.com/blog/delawar...

Millions of AI agents are descending on a web built for humans. Websites are trying to keep them out, but the arrival of these new visitors could transform the internet.
One ongoing frustration is the lack of effort I see being put towards near-term, achievable crash projects to do good with AI at a national scale, whether those efforts are by the AI labs or by policymakers & NGOs using free models. We should be more ambitious about trying to solve hard problems.
The audacity of AI CEOs, going on TV to say the technology they are building may or may not destroy humanity but definitely would make you unemployed in five years, will be studied for decades.
Siri AI has transformed a thing that could only be used to set timers into a thing that can only be used to set timers much more slowly.
Serve Robotics is opening the tech behind its own fleet to other robot builders. Its Physical AI Services sells connectivity and data tools proven on 2,000+ robots in 40+ cities. Bedrock Robotics is a launch customer. Source: GlobeNewswire Image: Serve Robotics #Robotics #PhysicalAI #Automation
Thinking Machines released the Inkling 2 Small (open-weight soon) Inkling 2 Small is available for fine-tuning and inference on Tinker. Please note that Thinking Machines provide fine-tuning services. thinkingmachines.ai/news/inkling...
As I have written many times in the past years, any potential financial downturn in AI stocks will not greatly change the AI trajectory AI is not going away, companies are not slowing down adoption, nor is development slowing. We still need policy & effort so that AI is used to help us all thrive.
Weave Robotics shipped a robot that folds 1,000+ lbs of laundry a week. Isaac 1, the roaming successor, lands this fall at $7,999. Video: Weave Robotics #HomeRobotics #Robotics #Startups Who should we spotlight next?
Bedrock Robotics just raised $600M at a $4.1B valuation for excavators with no driver, and Crewline's retrofitted dirt roller ran driverless 30 days in Austin. The retrofit kit is the revolution. Video: Bedrock Robotics / Crewline #Robotics #ConstructionTech
Microsoft signed billions in contracts with companies promising to build data centers faster. Last quarter, delays meant Microsoft spent $45B instead of ~$50B. Now it’s pulling back from some of those deals given that. Turns out outsourcing data centers doesn’t solve the problem of building them.
METR's report on AI acceleration - AI is speeding up our research, but it’s hard to say exactly how much (estimate 1.3x to 3x) - AI can't yet make the most important contributions to model training on its own, but the pace of development could accelerate further metr.org/blog/2026-11...
Figure AI turned chores into a paid data marketplace. Its Index app pays anyone to film tasks at home, and uploads just hit 37.5M videos. Helix 2.5 then worked in 30 unseen homes at 56%, against 9% without Index data. Company-reported. Source: Figure AI Video: Figure AI #Robotics #Humanoid #AI
trend: Huge jump in TPU deliveries likely the compute is going to 1. Anthropic 2. Google 3. AI dev process — RSI, codegen, etc.
Here's a DSH extension I have for program agents, but the readme has a pretty fast install for DSH, if you're interested. Program agents themselves are a goofy concept, just regular software that's fully tied into DSH through a similar API as if it were a subagent github.com/tkellogg/dsh...
