MATT MULLENWEG SAYS “THE WHEELS HAVE FALLEN OFF” IN WIDE-RANGING WORDPRESS CRITIQUE

Matt Mullenweg has criticised the WordPress project, saying it spent years doing damage to itself and that it has a release culture that produces 'boring or mediocre crap'. He claims that the project isn't being beaten by competition but that it was in a state of self-inflicted decline. Some contributors believe that the project's slowdown was due to Mullenweg's public dispute with WP Engine in September 2024, but Mullenweg rejected the notion.

INSIDE GITHUB'S FAKE STAR ECONOMY

OPENAI TOUTS AMAZON ALLIANCE IN MEMO, SAYS MICROSOFT HAS ‘LIMITED OUR ABILITY' TO REACH CLIENTS

OpenAI's revenue chief, Denise Dresser, recently sent a memo to staff saying that the company's alliance with Amazon was a key growth driver for its enterprise business. The memo said that OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft was foundational to its success, but it limited the startup's ability to meet enterprises' needs. OpenAI's enterprise business makes up 40% of its revenue and is expected to meet parity with its consumer business by the end of the year. The company has been trying to convince investors of its strengthening position as it is gearing up for an initial public offering as soon as this year.

META STRIKES BACK!

Meta's Muse Spark doesn't have any novel capabilities, but that's probably not what the company is aiming for. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been making the case for a while that higher usage and engagement will come once the underlying quality of Meta's model improves. Unlike Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, Meta is well-positioned to stay extremely focused on nailing the consumer use cases in AI. The opportunity in consumer AI is pretty substantial, as long as you have the user base and attention - which Meta does.

BIG PHARMA IS TURNING TO CHINA FOR THE NEWEST DRUG IDEAS

Big drug makers and investors are spending billions to lock up rights to promising Chinese-originated drug candidates. Western and Japanese drug makers made 70 transactions with Chinese biotechs last year, paying nearly $5.6 billion upfront to get rights to promising molecules. The shift has stirred up national security concerns in the US. Lawmakers and government officials warn that the US could lose a large source of employment and become dangerously dependent on China's supply of medicines if drug innovation were to shift to China.

OXYGEN MADE FROM MOON DUST FOR FIRST TIME

AGENTIC ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (AEO)

Agents consume documentation fundamentally differently from humans. If a site is too token-heavy, poorly structured, or has a misconfigured robots.txt, it could cause AI agents to hallucinate solutions or fail at tasks. Agentic Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring, formatting, and serving technical content so that AI coding agents can actually use it. It focuses on discoverability, parsability, token efficiency, capability signaling, and access control to aid agents in navigating documentation.
