Big news: Kimi-K3 by @Kimi_Moonshot is now #1 in the Frontend Code Arena with 1679 pts, surpassing Claude Fable 5. This is a 17-place jump from Kimi-k2.6 (#18 -> #1). In Frontend, Kimi-K3 ranked #1 in 6 of 7 domains: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, Consumer Product, Simulations, and Content Creation Tools, landing #2 only in Gaming behind Fable 5. The full model weights will be released by July 27. Congrats to the @Kimi_Moonshot team on this major milestone!

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks. Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models. This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.






More than 200 campers and counselors from Camp Taum Sauk were rescued by helicopter after severe flooding swept through their Missouri campground. Gov. Mike Kehoe said eight helicopters were deployed to evacuate the children and camp staff after parts of the state were hit with 12 inches or more of rain in just a few hours. All of the children were safely reunited with their families. According to the Missouri Regent C Incident Command, there have been more than 350 total flood rescues across impacted regions as of Friday evening.


NEW: Ivy League professor suspected AI cheating, ordered an in-person final, & saw average scores plunge from 96 to 48.


This is one of the most out of touch things you’ll ever see Former CDC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Deb Houry is told that faith in the medical system is so low a record number of states are pulling out of following the childhood vaccines schedule, and if she thinks that faith in the medical system can be restored Her response “I think the secretary (Robert F Kennedy Jr) has caused a lot of irreparable harm” She literally is trying to blame the lack of with in the medical system on RFK Jr…. Not covid, not the media, now Anthony Fauci, Biden, the WHO or the CDC…. No she’s saying people don’t have faith because RFK Jr These people are corrupt liars



🚨 President Trump Pardons The Diesel Mechanics Biden’s EPA Went After President Trump handed out a round of pardons on the Fourth of July that lands right at the kitchen table for truckers, farmers, and small-shop mechanics. He overturned the convictions of nine people whom the federal government prosecuted under the Clean Air Act for tampering with diesel emissions-control systems. Most of them were diesel mechanics and tuners. The cases centered on diesel emissions modifications the Biden Justice Department treated as Clean Air Act crimes. One of the men Trump pardoned is a Wasilla, Alaska mechanic and Air National Guard veteran named MacKenzie “Mac” Spurlock. View the X post: x.com/YourAlaskaLink… Fox News reported that Trump announced six of the pardons on Truth Social and described the men as people prosecuted for repairing vehicles under the previous administration. Eight of the recipients were diesel mechanics or car tuners accused of selling or installing so-called defeat devices in trucks. Fox explained why this became more than an abstract regulatory fight. The devices at issue reprogram trucks to bypass federally required emissions controls and suppress diagnostic warnings, while emissions-system failures can also force diesel trucks into limp mode even when the engine itself is still running. On a highway, a farm, or a remote job site, that turns a mechanical fault into a roadside hazard. The Spurlock case shows why these prosecutions rubbed so many people the wrong way. Sen. Dan Sullivan welcomed the full presidential pardon for Spurlock, calling him a Wasilla diesel mechanic, small business owner, and Alaska Air National Guard veteran. Sullivan said the Biden EPA raided Matanuska Diesel in June 2022 with dozens of armed agents plus personnel from other federal agencies flown in from California, Washington, and Oregon. Dozens of armed agents. For emissions modifications on diesel trucks, in a case involving a small business owner who wanted to return to the Alaska Air National Guard. Sullivan pointed to the cold-weather reality that Washington regulators rarely confront. Emissions systems can trigger shutdowns when a fault is detected, and cold weather can make DEF-related components struggle to reach or hold operating temperature. The technical piece here matters to anyone who actually drives a diesel for a living. Fox noted that limp mode can cut a truck’s speed to as little as 5 mph until the system is restored.
