Cursor is in talks with investors for a funding round that would value it at $50 billion, nearly double its valuation last fall. The discussions are preliminary and may not result in a funding deal. One of the fastest-growing startups of all time, Cursor is a central player in tech's vibe coding era. It has attracted financing from top names in venture capital and the tech industry. The company's last financing round, announced in November, boosted its valuation to $29.3 billion.
Personal Computer is a version of Perplexity Computer that handles things on a nearby computer. It handles requests from users and directs multiple AIs to complete tasks. It is effectively a project manager that delegates tasks to other AIs before combining the results and presenting them. Perplexity has specifically named the Mac Mini as a platform that Personal Computer can run on. There is currently a waitlist for access.
Meta has announced four new chips as part of an effort to diversify its hardware sources, reduce reliance on outside chipmakers, and bring down costs.

To accelerate the adoption of AI robotics, Intrinsic, Open Robotics, Google DeepMind, and NVIDIA are running a global competition for developers / roboticists: train an AI model to handle dexterous cable insertion [11] in sim using Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or MuJoCo. Finalists will deploy in a physical workcell at Intrinsic HQ, with top teams splitting a $180K prize pool. Sign-ups close April 17th, so join the AI for Industry Challenge [11] today!
Autoresearch is a tool that ingests a training script and a metric and then edits code, runs experiments, checks if the metric improved, keeps or discards, and repeats. It allows researchers to optimize models overnight, even without any machine learning experience. Andrej Karpathy used it to squeeze 11% more speed out of his GPT-2 training. Shopify's CEO used the tool to train a 0.8B model overnight that outscored his previous 1.6B model.
NVIDIA just released Nemotron 3 Super, a 120B open hybrid MoE model (12B active) designed for agentic and multi-agent AI systems.
Google's controlled experiments showed that enabling reasoning improved single-hop factual recall in LLMs by acting as a computational buffer and by generating related facts that help retrieve answers, though hallucinated intermediate facts increased final-answer errors.
Large language models are probably not currently being used in mission-critical ways, but this will change within 20 years, when 99% of the workforce will be AIs. Our future civilization will run on AI labor. We need to think through some extremely important questions about who this future workforce will be accountable and aligned to, and who gets to determine that. The only way to preserve a free society is to make laws and norms saying it is unacceptable for the government to use AI to enforce mass surveillance, censorship, and control. Individual acts of corporate courage will not solve the problem.
Anthropic has launched the Anthropic Institute to tackle AI's societal challenges. Guided by co-founder Jack Clark and an interdisciplinary team, key hires include Matt Botvinick for AI law, Anton Korinek for economic impacts, and Zoë Hitzig for economic connections. Anthropic has also expanded its Public Policy team to shape global AI governance, led by Sarah Heck with a new office in DC.

AI keeps reducing the cost to build products, and no one knows how to price them anymore. Per user? Per feature? Per workflow?
Meta has acquired Moltbook, a Reddit‑like network where AI agents built with the OpenClaw framework interact with each other and maintain an always‑on directory of agents.
Nvidia and Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab have formed a multiyear partnership in which the startup will deploy at least one gigawatt of cutting-edge chips to train and serve its frontier models. The companies will collaborate to design AI training and serving systems that use Nvidia technology. The deal gives the relatively young AI lab computing power to advance its research, as well as funding to pay its staff. It currently has 120 employees and is competing fiercely for AI researcher talent as valuations in the industry have skyrocketed.
Google's Gemini Embedding 2, available via the Gemini API and Vertex AI, unifies text, images, videos, audio, and documents in over 100 languages. The model processes up to 8,192 text tokens, six images, 120-second videos, and six-page PDFs, incorporating Matryoshka Representation Learning for customizable output dimensions. Early access users already utilize it for Retrieval-Augmented Generation and semantic search, with initial feedback showing superior performance against competitors.
Codex can be used to file personal taxes, and it can even be more accurate than a human accountant. The immediate feedback that Codex gives users helps them understand their situation and the tax code better. Give Codex access to personal details, and it can make better assumptions about tax treatment. Accountants probably don't have to worry - most don't enjoy doing personal tax returns, and their other duties are likely much harder to automate.
Open source models offer the proposition of distributing the value created by AI more broadly, enabling more people to build. However, the current ecosystem doesn't make building easy. The stack contains many bugs, and there's debt hidden in every layer. Developers need to stop patching bugs and build a better stack.
ChatGPT's engagement lead is wider than its market share lead: DAU:MAU sits at 45% versus Gemini's 22%, and WAU:MAU has climbed from 50% in mid-2023 to 82% today, putting it ahead of Gmail and Spotify and approaching Instagram. Week 4 retention of 66% beats every enterprise app in the dataset and is more than double Perplexity's 24%, while most apps see retention flatten at scale. The rarest signal is ChatGPT's smile curve: one of only three products alongside Gmail and Chrome where retention dips and then recovers, meaning OpenAI's product releases are actively reactivating lapsed users, not just attracting new ones.

Benchmarks are trotted out whenever a new model is released, but what do they actually measure? ngrok's Sam Rose dug into the papers, code, and critiques to understand what 14 popular AI benchmarks actually mean [12]. E.g., SWE-bench Verified = fixing small bugs in 12 popular
Agentic coding benchmarks are commonly used to compare the software engineering capabilities of frontier models. These scores are often treated as precise measurements of relative model capability. However, research shows that infrastructure configuration alone can produce significant differences in scores. Eval developers have begun accounting for this, but current fixes potentially change what benchmarks end up actually measuring.
RCLI is an on-device voice AI for macOS that can control apps and perform other actions via voice. Users can choose from a variety of local AIs and perform 38 macOS actions. The tool can be used to ingest local documents for users to query. RCLI is open source under the MIT license.
An agent is a model with a harness. Harness engineering is the process of turning models into work engines by building systems around them. Models contain the intelligence, and the harness makes that intelligence useful. This post looks at what harnesses are and details the core opponents that agents need.
Every AI training pipeline rests on a data layer that determines how those models behave. This data determines what the models know, how they reason, and what they can safely do. However, much of today's training data remains opaque, fragmented, or siloed across teams. Open data access gives developers a faster and more cost-effective path to building high-quality models. This is why Nvidia releases open datasets along with its open models, tools, and training techniques.
Perplexity's Comet AI browser has been blocked from accessing Amazon's site. Amazon sued Perplexity in November, alleging the startup concealed its AI agents so it could continue to scrape Amazon's website without approval. The Comet browser allows users to ask the assistant to find items on Amazon and make purchases. Amazon says Perplexity's agents pose a risk to customer data and that they create challenges for its advertising business. It has broadly locked down its shopping sites from AI agents and blocked dozens of agents.
Frontier labs are continuing to build first-party products on top of their own capabilities. For every token they sell, they can spend it themselves for COGs of under 50%. Your supplier is also your competitor, and they have a permanent cost advantage over you. Applied AI companies need to win on something other than tokens. Businesses need to build products so good that the token itself becomes the commodity input, not the value proposition.
