It allows developers to tap into information across the internet with one simple yet powerful interface. Unlike other API offers, it provides rich structured responses that are ready for use in AI and traditional applications alike. Perplexity has released an SDK, an open-source evaluation framework, and a deep dive into how its research team designed, optimized, and evaluated the API.
Max Mynter signed as a research engineer with Mistral earlier this week. The road to getting there was not an accident - Mynter had strategically worked towards this outcome for an extended period. This account of his personal experiences shares a few things that worked out for him. Mynter's main tactic was to try to get an information advantage and then act on this information to be prepared when it matters. The preparation can involve strategic high-effort projects or tactical quick-win initiatives.
China has five times as many robots working in its factories as the US. Until last year, China installed more imported robots in its factories than domestically made ones - last year, nearly three-fifths of the robots installed in the country were made locally. While Chinese companies still lag behind foreign competitors in their ability to manufacture some key components, China has a large number of skilled electricians and specialized computer programmers who can install robots, as well as an artificial intelligence industry that is strongly focused on tracking and improving every aspect of factory equipment performance.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign a deal today to facilitate the sale of TikTok from ByteDance to a group of American investors. ByteDance will hold less than 20% of the stock in the new company. Data from users will be stored in the US and overseen by cloud computing company Oracle. Oracle's co-founder Larry Ellison, CEO of Dell Technologies Michael Dell, and the Murdoch family will play a role in the deal.
Google wants to bring all of its Android AI features and apps to the PC ecosystem. It appears that Android laptops will soon be a reality. Google had confirmed plans to merge ChromeOS and Android into one thing earlier this year. A recent on-stage conversation between Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon and Google's head of platforms and devices Rick Osterloh at a Qualcomm event (video available in the article) further expanded on those plans.
NASA is on track to send astronauts to orbit the Moon in early 2026, its first mission to do so in more than half a century. The manned mission, dubbed Artemis 2, has experienced multiple setbacks but is now scheduled for April 2026 at the latest. The crew will comprise three US and one Canadian astronaut. A video that introduces the Artemis 2 crew is available in the article.
Doctors have treated Huntington's disease successfully for the first time. A genetic disease, Huntington's relentlessly kills brain cells. It resembles a combination of dementia, Parkinson's, and motor neuron disease. The new treatment is a type of gene therapy given during 12 to 19 hours of delicate brain surgery. It will likely be very expensive, but it is considered safe. The data shows that, three years after surgery, there was an average 75% slowing of the disease.

There is currently a huge pool of exceptional junior engineers that most companies won't even consider. Smart companies can get a significant advantage by not fighting over seniors and hiring these juniors instead. Shopify recently hired 25 interns and is aiming for 1,000 more by the end of the year because interns bring energy, drive, and intensity, which pushes the whole team forward. While it is safer to hire someone with years of experience who can contribute from day one, the most critical factors - motivation, ambition, character, and brains - have little to do with experience.
AWS S3 is a scalable multi-tenant storage service with APIs to store and retrieve objects. It offers extremely high availability and durability at a relatively low cost. What started as a service optimized for backups and media storage for e-commerce websites has grown into the main storage system used for analytics and machine learning on massive data lakes. The growing trend now for entire data infrastructure projects to be based on S3, which gives them the benefit of stateless nodes while outsourcing difficult durability, replication, and load-balancing problems to S3 - this reduces cloud costs.
While it would've been amazing to be an entrepreneur during the dot-com boom, right now is the best time to start something on the internet. There has never been a time to invent something. People in the future will look back at right now and think it was a great period to start, just as we look back to the past and think they had it great, too. Today is truly a wide-open frontier.
The systems, incentives, and technologies in the modern world have managed to slightly empower the individual while massively empowering large organizations, at the significant expense of small organizations. The imbalanced system provides significant material comforts and some limited feeling of agency, but it has led to individuals feeling disconnected, alienated, lonely, and cynical or pessimistic about the ability to influence future events or meet major challenges. Much of the current debate on societal issues is framed as conflicts between large organizations, conflicts between large organizations and average individuals, or a yearning for a return to a more traditional era.

With all the noise about agents, it's easy to forget that an agent is just a looping LLM call + Memory + Tool usage. Use step-by-step tutorial [4] to build an agent that "thinks" with an LLM, calls external tools, remembers context, and keeps looping until it gets the job done.
Larry Ellison has become a media mogul whose portfolio and power could exceed that of predecessors like Hearst and Pulitzer. Oracle is among the investors in the new American version of TikTok, and Ellison owns more than 40% of Oracle's stock and is its chief technology officer. It is still unclear what the exact share of ownership will be and who will run the new TikTok. The Ellison family recently secured an $8 billion deal for Paramount and CBS, and it is reportedly preparing a bid for Warner, which includes CNN.
OpenAI and Nvidia are now more intimately linked than ever with a monumental deal that will see Nvidia investing $100 billion into OpenAI and providing cutting-edge processors to power a host of new datacenters. The deal was negotiated largely through a mix of virtual discussions and one-on-one meetings between Sam Altman and Jensen Huang - no bankers were involved. Microsoft, OpenAI's principal shareholder and primary cloud provider, was only notified about the deal a day before it was signed. Nvidia and OpenAI's first gigawatt site will go online in the back half of next year.
Virtual cells are learned simulations of cells and cellular systems that can be observed in varying conditions and changing contexts. Computational simulations of cells can be useful for all sorts of clinical and preclinical research. The field is still in its early days, but in time, these models will become routine parts of treatments. They will help patients avoid wasting precious time on ineffective treatments and enable entirely new targets.
The chips used to run AI datacenters generate much more heat than previous generations of silicon. Current cooling technology will become a bottleneck to progress in just a few years. Microfluidics could boost efficiency and improve sustainability for next-generation AI chips. Microsoft has successfully developed an in-chip microfluidic cooling system that can effectively cool a server running core services for a simulated Teams meeting. The company's tests showed that microfluidics performed up to three times better than cold plates at removing heat. Advanced cooling technology would improve power usage effectiveness and reduce operational costs.

Ryan Salva, Google's project manager for developer tools, is responsible for tools like Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist. His team recently released new third-party research that showed how developers actually use AI tools. This article contains an edited interview with Salva where he talks about the research, how he uses AI tools, and the future of IDEs. Salva believes that over time, the time spent in the IDE will gradually shrink, and the job of the developer will start looking more like an architect.
This post looks at how Python can be pushed beyond its limits of speed and portability to create a compiler that turns ordinary code into fast, portable executables. The approach generates optimized kernels while keeping the Python source unchanged. It demonstrates why understanding systems at the lowest level matters.
The fundraising script has flipped for a few dozen of the top AI startups: VCs are pitching to them and presenting them with gifts and favors in hopes of leading their next round. The best companies are getting preempted every round, and the time between rounds is shrinking. The surge in preemptive deals and soaring valuations has kindled fears of an AI bubble. Some founders have been wary of accepting offers as they risk pricing themselves out of future M&A opportunities or locking themselves into aggressive growth expectations if they raise cash at unsustainable levels.
Tether is looking to raise between $15 billion and $20 billion for a roughly 3% stake through a select group of high-profile key investors. The deal could put the company's value on par with OpenAI. It will involve new equity rather than existing investors selling their stakes. The talks are still in an early stage, so the details could change.
