The era of small, low-value libraries is over. AI can output functions from these libraries, so developers no longer have to take on extra dependencies with unknown performance, maintenance, and supply-chain risks just for basic functionalities. There is still plenty of open source to write. The most value can be found in big projects, more inventive projects, or niche areas not covered in large language model training data.
Elon Musk recently attended an interview where he discussed his vision for artificial intelligence, robotics, sustainable development, and the future of humanity. He revealed details about Grok 5, a 6-trillion parameter model which will be released in the first quarter of next year. Musk also talked about building a giant wafer factory within the next couple of years to create tens of billions of AI chips. This article contains excerpts from the interview.
Meta plans to tie employee performance to their 'AI-driven impact' starting next year. The company will assess employees on how they use AI to deliver results and build tools that can move the needle in a major way in regards to productivity. Meta is rolling out an 'AI Performance Assistant' to help with performance reviews and feedback to use in this year's performance review cycle. Employees can also use Meta's internal assistant, Metamate, as well as Google Gemini, for their performance content.

Apple's new Mini Apps Partner program gives Apple a 15% cut of in-app purchases for mini apps and games within larger 'super apps'. Mini app creators have been using loopholes to avoid Apple's in-app payments framework. The new program should help lock those software creators into Apple's preferred approach and guarantee more revenue for the company. Mini apps or games must be released by a party not directly or indirectly controlled by the developer of the dominant app to qualify for the new program.
Blue Origin nailed the landing of its New Glenn rocket booster yesterday. It is the second company to successfully accomplish the feat. New Glenn's two successful launches in a row could win it a sizable slice of the business of sending stuff to space. The New Glenn booster is considerably bigger and heavier than SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster.
Trying to predict the future is an excellent feedback mechanism for developing a world model in areas you care about. You can review your predictions to see what you got wrong and why. This site presents a timeline for AI development that predicts that a continuously improving AI that learns from interactions in the real world, with the potential to become more expert at most tasks than even humans with 40 years of experience, won't be developed until after 2045. Winning robotics is a national security issue - technology that gives its owner access to users and resources at scale is a threat. There will be a diversity of robot form factors in the future.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's Biohub has a billion dollars a year to make several long-horizon bets on basic science. Its aim is to change our understanding of immunological science and open up the door to engineering human health, simulating immune therapies, reprogramming dysfunctional cells, and preventing diseases before they arise. It has opened up three models on its virtual cells platform: VariantFormer, a model that directly translates personal genetic variations into tissue-specific gene activity patterns; CryoLens, a large-scale model for cryoET that provides unsupervised structural similarity analysis; and scLDM, a model that can generate realistic single-cell data in silico at unprecedented fidelity. A transcript of an interview with Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, where they discuss the Biohub secret master plan, is available in the article.

OpenAI has released GPT-5.1 on its API platform. The model can dynamically adapt how much time it spends thinking based on the complexity of tasks, making it significantly faster and more token-efficient on simpler everyday tasks. It features a 'no reasoning' mode to respond faster on tasks that don't require deep thinking. OpenAI has extended prompt caching for up to 24 hours to drive faster responses for follow-up questions at a lower cost. Priority Processing customers will experience notably faster performance with GPT-5.1 over GPT-5.
GenUI (Generative UI SDK for Flutter) is a Flutter library that lets developers easily add interactive generative UI to their applications. It is designed to help developers replace static walls of text from large language models with dynamic and interactive graphical UIs. It can turn conversations and agent interactions into rich, intuitive experiences. State changes in the UI are fed back to the agent, creating a high-bandwidth interaction loop.
The most helpful mentors are usually folks who are only a few years ahead of you. A person who is a decade ahead may be in an objectively more impressive place, but someone nearer to your stage will have experienced an environment that is much closer to your own. This post contains advice for college freshmen seeking mentorship on managing their time and looking for their first job.
The Tesla engineers behind Autopilot, robotaxis, and the Optimus robot have been told to brace for the 'hardest year of their lives' in 2026. The company aims next year to turn a decade of autonomy promises into something commercial, scalable, and visible to investors. Tesla's next era is tied to two products that are nowhere near mass deployment. Elon Musk has previously claimed that Tesla's Optimus robot could become the largest product in history.

OpenAI has released the GPT-5.1 family of models. GPT-5.1 Instant is a high-volume model that uses adaptive reasoning - it can decide when to think longer on hard prompts. GPT-5.1 Thinking can vary its deliberation for each question, so simple tasks are faster and complex work gets deeper analysis. GPT-5.1 Auto routes queries between models. ChatGPT has gained stronger personalization controls - users can now pick between different personalities.
The Steam Frame is a new wireless VR headset with pancake optics, a 110-degree field of view, and inside-out tracking. It will not require a gaming PC to work. The Steam Machine is a more powerful but less portable follow-up to the Steam Deck designed to fit into a standard-sized shelving unit to connect to a display. The Steam Controller is designed to replace a mouse. All of the new products will be released in 2026. No prices have been announced yet.
Waymo has started offering robotaxi rides on freeways for customers in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and the San Francisco Bay Area. It is the first company to offer fully autonomous freeway rides without a human specialist in the car to fare-paying riders in the US. Freeways are more controlled environments in some respects, but the higher speed poses a much higher risk. Cars need to be able to predict what happens much farther down the road. Waymo has announced plans to more than double the number of cities it operates in.
Dark excitons are exotic light-matter states found in atomically thin semiconductors. They usually remain invisible because they emit light very weakly. Researchers have found a way to make these previously hidden light states shine brightly and controllably. This discovery opens up a new frontier for faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient technologies.

Coinbase plans to leave Delaware and reincorporate in Texas because Texas' legal framework is more predictable and efficient. Delaware has long been the legal home of most big companies in the US, but the state's courts appear to be biased against founders and their boards. Texas has capitalized on executives' frustrations with Delaware by establishing the Texas Business Court and passing laws to make it more difficult to sue board members at companies incorporated in Texas and more challenging for shareholders to file stockholder proposals against companies.
