2026.09.02·links.tldrnewsletter.com·2 min read·TLDR AI Frontier models offer the highest degree of intelligence at a given cost or size. Efficient frontiers also exist in inference engineering. This is most often expressed as a trade-off between latency and throughput, but researchers can also exchange quality for throughput, or intelligence for speed. This article details what inference engineering techniques let researchers target a point on the frontier and which techniques push the frontier out.

2026.09.02·vercel.com·6 min read·TLDR AI A handful of early-stage memory technologies could yield either faster access speeds than current HBM or HBM-bandwidth with NAND-like density. Technologies like magnonics and vertical FeRAM stand out as being possible platonic ideals for memory, but they have a very long way to go before being remotely commercially relevant. Commercializing these technologies will require founding teams capable of raising hundreds of millions of dollars, possibly billions. If any of these technologies make it, they would be truly revolutionary transformations of the constraints for AI and how developers think about these systems.

OpenAI says its upcoming model, Astra, is the first offering that crosses its 'Critical' cybersecurity capability threshold. The model can apparently find previously unknown security flaws and exploit them without step-by-step guidance from humans. OpenAI plans to make the model available soon, but will limit access to its cybersecurity capabilities. The company will share more details about its security and safety practices in the model's System Card at launch.
