USE SUBAGENTS AND CUSTOM AGENTS IN CODEX

The subagents pattern is now widely supported in coding agents. Subagents are now generally available in OpenAI Codex. There are default subagents called 'explorer', 'worker', and 'default', but it is unclear what differentiates them. Users can define custom agents with custom instructions and specific models.

APPLE'S CHEAP AI BET COULD PAY OFF BIG

Apple will invest $14 billion into AI this year, a tiny amount compared to the $700 billion Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft are investing. The company appears to believe that the AI infrastructure build-out will produce inadequate returns. It is spending less due to a conviction that AI models will commoditize and shrink, that existing product lines will absorb the workloads the cloud was built to serve, and that the durable franchise belongs to whoever owns the customer. Apple is betting on its AI-capable devices rather than centralized infrastructure.

CAN NVIDIA'S DOMINANCE SURVIVE THE SEA CHANGE UNDER WAY IN AI COMPUTING?

Nvidia's focus this year at its GTC event shifted to inference, the type of computing required to run models and allow them to respond to user queries. The AI industry is now less concerned with training AI models, which is what GPUs are best at, and more preoccupied with running them and generating profits from end-users. Inference requires different hardware than chips optimized for training. How far ahead the company remains in the AI-infrastructure race will depend largely on how effectively it is able to pivot its product road map from training to inference.

OPENAI'S BID TO ALLOW X-RATED TALK IS FREAKING OUT ITS OWN ADVISERS

OpenAI's plan to drop its ban on X-rated content sparked vigorous internal debate over the potential risks. The company is forging ahead with its erotica plans despite concerns from council members with backgrounds in fields like psychology and cognitive neuroscience. OpenAI staff have identified several risks, including the potential for compulsive use and emotional overreliance on the chatbot. The company has developed a plan to monitor for a range of potential long-term effects of adult mode. Adult mode's release has been delayed as OpenAI is currently prioritizing other products.

CAN LLMS BE COMPUTERS?

Transformers can execute programs efficiently inside their own inference loop. This opens a path towards AI systems that integrate learned representations with compiled algorithms inside a single computational substrate. Solving humanity's toughest problems will require systems that can both reason flexibly and compute reliably. Future AI systems will have software as part of the model.

MCP IS DEAD; LONG LIVE MCP!

The current industry zeitgeist is dialed in on CLIs, just like it was on MCP a few short months ago. Using CLI can result in token savings, but custom CLIs run into the same context problems as MCP, except without structure and many other sacrifices. Individual usage of coding agents looks very different from organizational adoption of coding agents. MCP is the present and future for enterprise and org-level use cases.

THE FIVE CATEGORIES OF WORLD MODELS

AMI Labs and World Labs both raised over $1B on "world models," but the term covers five distinct approaches: JEPA, spatial intelligence, learned simulation, physical AI infrastructure, and active inference. The sharpest result in the piece is V-JEPA 2, achieving zero-shot robot planning after training on just 62 hours of domain-specific data. Each approach solves a different subproblem, and the lines between them are expected to blur fast.

INTRODUCING ATTENTION RESIDUALS: RETHINKING DEPTH-WISE AGGREGATION

Residual connections have long relied on fixed uniform accumulation. Attention Residuals replace standard depth-wise recurrence with learned, input-dependent attention over preceding layers. It enables networks to selectively retrieve past representations, naturally mitigating dilution and hidden-state growth. Attention Residuals have been validated on the Kimi Linear architecture, demonstrating consistent downstream performance gains.

TECH BOSS USES AI AND CHATGPT TO CREATE CANCER VACCINE FOR HIS DYING DOG

Sydney data engineer Paul Conyngham used ChatGPT, AlphaFold protein modeling, and a $3,000 genomic sequencing of his dog Rosie's tumor to produce a half-page mRNA formula that UNSW's RNA Institute turned into a physical vaccine in under two months. One tumor shrank 75% after her first injection in December 2025, marking the first personalized cancer vaccine ever designed for a dog. The pipeline mirrors Moderna and Merck's ongoing human trials. UNSW researchers are now asking why the same approach isn't being applied more broadly to cancer patients.

AI WRITES BUGGY CODE. A SILICON VALLEY START-UP WANTS TO FIX IT

Axiom raised a $200M Series A at a $1.6B valuation led by Menlo Ventures, one year after founding and with roughly 20 employees, to build what it calls Verified AI: systems that produce formally verified outputs in the programming language Lean, where every reasoning step is machine-checkable, and errors are caught deterministically rather than statistically. The company originally trained on math proofs and then transferred that skill to code verification, a technique that lets it prove not only that code produces correct outputs but also that it won't create unexpected attack surfaces.

AGENTIC COMMERCE

Commerce has historically been closer to a seller's market. Consumers are largely shown what platforms choose to surface. AI agents will gradually shift the power toward the buyer. Instead of navigating the layer of market and platform incentives, AI will enable consumers to access the best product for their needs directly. This dynamic may be most powerful in B2B commerce, which has historically been opaque, fragmented, and relationship-driven.

Institutional AI could unlock far more value than individual AI by redesigning organizations alongside technology. Unlike individual AI, which boosts productivity with little firm value impact, institutional AI focuses on coordination, finding signals in data, countering bias, and scaling revenue. Successful organizations will be those that integrate AI as a foundational component, similar to the industrial shift to electric assembly lines.

I WAS BACKEND LEAD AT MANUS. AFTER BUILDING AGENTS FOR 2 YEARS, I STOPPED USING FUNCTION CALLING ENTIRELY. HERE'S WHAT I USE INSTEAD

A single run(command="...") tool with Unix-style commands outperforms a catalog of typed function calls. Unix made the design decision 50 years ago to make everything a text stream. Large language models made an almost identical decision by making everything tokens. The text-based system that Unix uses is a natural fit for large language models. They can act as terminal operators faster than any human. Developers just need to take what Unix has proven over the last half-century and hand it directly to AI.

HOW WE COMPARE MODEL QUALITY IN CURSOR

Cursor uses a hybrid online-offline eval process to keep its understanding of model quality aligned with what developers actually do. The offline part uses CursorBench, an internal eval suite based on real Cursor sessions from Cursor's engineering team. It measures multiple dimensions of agent performance, including collusion correctness, code quality, efficiency, and interaction behavior. The online part involves a controlled analysis on live traffic, which catches regressions that offline suites miss. Together, this loop keeps Cursor's notion of model quality grounded in production as workflows change.
