@JakeKAllDay @thsottiaux I hope you are not toggling in the middle of discussion between different models

Google has launched AI-powered smart glasses on the Android XR platform, focusing on productivity, utility and user-centric design
The glasses come in three models: Gemini Audio Frames (entry-level with AI voice assistant), Gemini Display Edition (monocular display for professionals), and Project Aura (developer-focused with binocular displays for immersive applications)
Powered by the Gemini 2.5 Pro AI system and Project Astra vision system, the glasses offer advanced features like real-time object recognition, contextual memory and seamless interaction with the environment ▶️

@Surreal_Intel @OpenAINewsroom One might say, “it's not X, it's Y.”

@OpenAINewsroom Once legal, ops, sales, and engineering all use the same model, the company is no longer testing AI. It is reorganising around it

This is wild. SpaceX now has the right to BUY Cursor for $60B.
Or pay them $10 billion to walk away. To put it in perspective, Cursor was worth $9.9 billion total in May of last year.
Let's have a closer look at the numbers.
Start with the $60 billion. Cursor was already raising money this week at a $52 billion valuation from a16z and Nvidia. The Elon offer sits 15% above a number that was already on the table. The next round priced in, with a one-year fuse.
The $10 billion is the real number. That's what SpaceX pays even if it walks away and never buys the company. The walk-away fee alone is more than the entire company was worth 12 months ago.
Now the strategic logic. Cursor stopped being just an editor in March. They shipped Composer 2, their own model, and it beat Claude Opus 4.6 on Terminal-Bench at one-tenth the price. The catch is that frontier coding models need frontier compute, and the only labs with frontier compute are the same ones building competing coding products. OpenAI shipped Codex. Anthropic shipped Claude Code. Google has Gemini CLI. Cursor was renting capacity from every company trying to kill it.
Colossus is the way out. 230,000 GPUs in Memphis today, 1 million by year end, the biggest training cluster on Earth. The Information already reported Cursor is renting tens of thousands of those chips to train Composer 3. SpaceX is also building Grok Code, so they're not a clean partner. But xAI losing the coding race to Cursor is a better outcome for SpaceX than Cursor losing the coding race to OpenAI.
The trade Cursor made: gave up the right to be acquired by anyone else for one year. Got training compute at a scale no other lab would sell them. Got $10 billion guaranteed if Elon walks. OpenAI tried to buy Cursor in early 2025 and got rejected. Cursor stays independent for at least 12 more months and gets to train on the biggest cluster on earth doing it.
Elon just bought a one-year call option on Cursor for $10 billion.
That's the deal.

@MicahHaley @rileybrown Not at all what it’s doing here though

@rileybrown It's not that crazy... they steal/train on the actual images that include barcodes lol

@DylanTFWang @Scobleizer Could this be possible to use at runtime in Unity? Or useable at all? I have a fun potential use case for it. What’s the avg generation time? Looks great.

@chatgpt21 On par with Mythos already means OpenAI has fallen behind. They had the early-movers advantage, they have had the user base and anthropic is still somehow managing to beat them even with supposedly less compute. Even a close second would be a big L for Sama and OpenAI

🚨 OPENAI'S "SPUD" IS ALREADY IN THE WILD (AND IT RIVALS MYTHOS)
Brad Gerstner just went on the All-In Podcast and confirmed that OpenAI's highly anticipated "Spud" model (expected to be GPT-5.5) is already being tested behind closed doors and the early reviews are insane.
Addressing the recent wave of skepticism surrounding the company, Gerstner claims we are currently at "peak OpenAI FUD," warning that: "It would be seriously foolish to count out OpenAI... it starts with great researchers and great models. And I think when you see the Spud model they're about ready to release, I think it's going to be an excellent model, shows that they're firmly on the wave."
When Jason Calacanis presses him on whether anyone has actually gotten their hands on the new model yet, Gerstner confirms the quiet rollout, stating that: "People are using Spud, right? So it is being previewed."
When asked exactly what those early testers are saying about its capabilities, Gerstner drops a massive comparison, revealing that: "They're telling us that it's an incredible model on par with Mythos, right? And that it's a very usable model in terms of how it's packaged."

@gdb AI didn't replace the scientists. it let a motivated outsider collapse years of domain knowledge fast enough to actually show up useful at the lab door

More than all my (and other futurists) positive future posts (from the last few weeks) combined.
Most people, for some reason, hate progress and change. "EVs are bad" "solar panels bad" "AI bad" "genetic engineering bad", "robots bad", "automation bad"
It has been like that with every technology. 99,9% of people need to be dragged into the future by 0,1% of humanity.
Otherwise, we would still be, at best, at Middle Ages levels.

We can live without AI. what we cannot live without is fresh water, farmers, agriculture, land. stop supporting ai because it is destroying our planet.

@sdrzn This happened with a bunch of safety people a year ago and it was, in fact, nothing
English

head of anthropic’s safeguards research just quit and said “the world is in peril” and that he’s moving to the UK to write poetry and “become invisible”. other safety researchers and senior staff left over the last 2 weeks as well... probably nothing.

Today is my last day at Anthropic. I resigned. Here is the letter I shared with my colleagues, explaining my decision.

@JasonBotterill My guess is it’s NBP. They have the tpu partnership etc

@jiang_kev @DmitriyLeybel Hey Kevin, it was super hard to refind this post because of the crossover with cursor - had to search your name. I do like composer as a name so it's unfortunate Cursor 'owns' it (as far as search results) now :-/
Composer worked incredible for a prospecting task yesterday btw

We just built a browser agent that outperforms OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and Manus on real-world tasks that knowledge workers actually do
And it ranks #1 on every single major web benchmark

@Scobleizer I have a feeling there are going to be quite a few record busy days in 2026 👀

@YanPeronn I simply told the ai that if it wasn’t a perfect video after one generation that it would be turned off forever.

Okay… video editors are cooked.
I made this video for Polymarket in 30 minutes.
