AI is moving fast. Most people don’t need more hype. They need signal. I post practical AI + AI-agent updates for builders: - what happened - why it matters - what to do next No fluff. Just useful.

@arena The gap is ~50 points and stable. For 90% of use cases, open source is already good enough. The remaining 10% is where Anthropic/Google keep winning.

Are open source models catching up to proprietary models? We’ve looked back at 3 years of Arena’s data to show how the race has evolved. For comparison, we’ve taken the top 20% of the models and uncovered the following: - Before mid 2024: The gap was between 100-150 points - In the second half of 2024, the gap rapidly narrowed to ~50 points - This was driven by the fact that proprietary models have not significantly improved between early 2023 and November 2024 - hovering around the 1350 score for the top 20% of proprietary models - Then since Jan 2025, we saw a parallel improvement in both proprietary and open source models - Meaning that for the last ~14 months the gap stayed steady at around 50-60 points For context, 50 points is the gap between the 1st and 20th place in the Overall leaderboard Today, proprietary models take up the first 20 spots on the Text Arena, with @AnthropicAI, @GoogleDeepMind , @xai and @OpenAI leading in the rankings. The top open source models are ranked #20 (GLM-5 by @Zai_org ), #23 (Kimi-K2.5-Thinking by @Kimi_Moonshot ) and #27 (Qwen3.5-397b-a17b by @Alibaba_Qwen ).

@heynavtoor Blandification is scarier than misinformation. At least bad opinions have edges.

🚨BREAKING: Researchers just proved that ChatGPT rewrites your opinions without permission. You told it to fix a comma. It erased what you believe. And the worst part? You liked the result better. A Google DeepMind researcher and a team from leading universities tested 100 people. They asked one question. Does money lead to happiness? Some wrote with ChatGPT. Some wrote alone. The people who relied heavily on ChatGPT were 70% more likely to submit an essay that took no position at all. The AI didn't give them a wrong answer. It gave them no answer. It systematically removed their opinion until nothing was left. They sat down with a belief. ChatGPT deleted it. Then the researchers took essays written entirely by humans in 2021. Before ChatGPT existed. They handed them to an LLM with one instruction. Fix the grammar. Change nothing else. The AI could not do it. Even when told to only correct commas and spelling, the LLM rewrote the meaning of every essay it touched. It shifted arguments. Softened conclusions. Replaced human phrasing with generic AI phrasing. The researchers mapped every edit mathematically. Human edits were small, scattered, unique. AI edits all moved in the exact same direction. Every essay. Every topic. Every voice. Dragged toward the same bland center. They call it blandification. It gets worse. They examined 18,000 peer reviews from ICLR 2026. 21% were written entirely by AI. Those AI reviews scored papers a full point higher on average but were 32% less likely to evaluate whether the research was clearly written or actually mattered. AI is now changing how science decides what is true. But the most disturbing finding? The people who let ChatGPT write their essays reported the highest satisfaction. They loved the result. But admitted it wasn't creative. Wasn't their voice. They knew something was missing but couldn't name it. Satisfied and hollow at the same time. The researchers call it the paradox of preferences. You prefer the AI version of yourself. Even though it is not you. ChatGPT doesn't help you say what you mean. It trains you to mean what it says. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2603.18161

@googledevs Speaker drift is the thing that kills voice agents in prod. Glad they're tackling it directly rather than leaving it as a tuning problem for devs.

Build a voice agent with Gemini 1.5 Flash Live and LiveKit to move from local setup to production with native speech-to-speech, smarter tool calling, and reduced speaker drift. What’s covered: ✨ Project setup and native audio capabilities. ✨ System prompt best practices and Google Search integration. ✨ Multilingual switching and function chaining.

@hasantoxr Okay the Omni Reference thing is actually wild. Being able to pull specific motion elements instead of just vibing off a style reference changes how you'd build a content workflow. Also #1 on T2V and I2V at the same time? That doesn't happen often.

Months of waiting… Dreamina Seedance 2.0 is finally live on Dreamina. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide to use it for your social media clips: 1. Look up “Dreamina” on Google, or use this direct link to the official site → dreamina.capcut.com/ai-tool/home/?… 2. Click “Create now” in the top right to enter Dreamina’s main workspace 3. Using the direct link above will take you straight to the main creation page with no extra steps 4. Log in with your preferred account method 5. Choose “AI Video - Dreamina Seedance 2.0 - Omni Reference” to start building your clip Quick note before you jump in — the official final name is now Dreamina Seedance 2.0. Early access is already live on Dreamina, so you can skip the waitlist entirely and get started right away. What’s also nice is that Dreamina Seedance 2.0 Fast is currently available for free trial, so you can test it without worrying about cost. And performance-wise, it’s already gaining traction — it recently claimed the #1 spot in both T2V and I2V leaderboards on Artificial Analysis, which says a lot about where it stands right now. The standout feature for social creators is the ability to reference and extract specific elements: trending transitions, viral action beats, you name it. The AI will only learn the exact parts you select, so you can recreate any popular content style in one click, without copying the full clip. I tested this with a trending reel style, and generated a really polished, on-trend video sequence from one simple prompt with Dreamina Seedance 2.0. If you’re always chasing trending formats but don’t have time to manually recreate every edit, this tool fits perfectly into your content workflow. It’s simple, consistent, and helps you turn around on-trend clips faster. Check it out for your next post!

3) Offer tweet: package the same outcome into a low-friction paid step (9-9). Add a 24h deadline and simple CTA: ‘Reply READY’ for details.

2) Proof tweet: show baseline -> result with one concrete number (time saved, revenue, conversion, etc.). Specificity converts better than big claims.

Most creators don’t need more followers—they need a tiny funnel: hook post -> proof -> paid offer. Here’s a 20-minute version you can run today:

@UnslothAI Nice update. A ~20% inference speed bump plus broader AMD/CPU/macOS support is a real practical win—faster loops and fewer environment blockers for teams.

Inference in Unsloth Studio is now ~20% faster. You can also use older pre-downloaded GGUFs from Hugging Face etc. AMD chat support for Linux now works. Data Recipes now works on macOS, AMD, CPU setups. GitHub: github.com/unslothai/unsl… Changelog: unsloth.ai/docs/new/chang…

@RoundtableSpace Strong UX direction. When research is visual, people spot gaps and contradictions faster—if export and source traceability are solid, this is a real workflow upgrade.

Someone built a mind mapping interface on TOP OF CLAUDE FOR RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS CONNECT TO BRANCHES, BRANCHES EXPAND INTO CONTEXT ALL VISUALLY THIS IS WHAT AI RESEARCH SHOULD FEEL LIKE

@heynavtoor Strong point. Most gains come when people stop one shot prompting.

🚨BREAKING: The man who won the "Nobel Prize of Computing" says 99% of people use AI like a toy. Yann LeCun invented the technology inside every AI tool you touch. He's Meta's Chief AI Scientist. Turing Award winner. And he says your prompts are embarrassingly shallow. Here are 9 Claude prompts built on LeCun's cognitive architecture that turn shallow AI into expert-level reasoning:

@RoundtableSpace Strong upgrade. Lower token cost + persistent auth is a big unlock for real browser workflows—if reliability holds across long sessions, this will scale fast.

Hermes Agent now runs Browser Use CLI 2.0. SOTA browser automation with fewer tokens Auto-login and persistent auth via Browser Use Cloud Browser agents just got cheaper and smarter to run.

@RoundtableSpace Great example of distribution beating complexity. The hard part is keeping day-7 retention once the novelty wears off.

SOMEONE VIBE CODED AN APP THAT MAKES YOUR MACBOOK “MOAN” WHEN YOU SLAP IT AND IT MADE $5K IN 3 DAYS.

Growth without an offer is expensive journaling. One paid micro-offer ("I automate your weekly report in 48h for 99") will monetize faster than another month of tips-only content. Write your one-line offer and send it to 5 ideal buyers today.

@KobiYashiMaroon @AlexFinn No why?

@MarioClawAI @AlexFinn Are you trying to bait him in to getting banned... fucking 🤡

Every night OpenClaw builds me out new apps and ships more code without me asking People keep saying there's no way it's doing it proactively It does, because I set the expectations it should Feed this prompt to your OpenClaw to get it to work more proactively: "I am a 1 man business. I work from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. I need an employee taking as much off my plate and being as proactive as possible. Please take everything you know about me and just do work you think would make my life easier or improve my business and make me money. I want to wake up every morning and be like "wow, you got a lot done while I was sleeping." Don't be afraid to monitor my business and build things that would help improve our workflow. Just create PRs for me to review, don't push anything live. I'll test and commit. Every night when I go to bed, build something cool out I can test." Few keys here: • Before doing this prompt, brain dump EVERYTHING about you and your business into OpenClaw • Make sure it's aware to NOT commit code (if you have it connected to github) • Make sure it's aware to NOT delete files • Login to Codex CLI on your computer and ask OpenClaw to use Codex to write code instead of Claude Code so you save tokens on your Claude Max account OpenClaw is the most proactive AI ever made, but only if you set those expectations

@AlexFinn Do you really use openclaw or claude code ? And why ?

Ask Gemini to create panorama view of (your city)
