SpaceX engineers spent several days inspecting Ship 40 in the waters off Christmas Island. They collected heatshield samples and gained vital insight into how the vehicle handled reentry with improvements now planned on future vehicles

here's a pro tip: ask your most intelligent model to make a benchmark based on the work you have all your models do to test every single facet and angle of what an ai does to help your life. have it benchmark all the models and then have it make a custom harness to wear. depending on the task, it opens a new window and utilizes the best model for that specific task.
extra points if you're using linux or a service like tmux so they can have a whole fleet of windows and tasks going and communicate with each other.
Just FYI. If you are switching models in a session all the time - you are doing it wrong.
Every time you switch, your entire prompt cache is invalidated on the new model you switch to, and you have to repay the full input tokens price for all of it.
Stop doing this unless those models are free.
This is not a hermes thing - this is a fundamentals of inference thing.

I kept hitting usage limits on Opus 5 and Fable 5, so I switched to DeepSeek V4 flash
367M tokens.
3,783 API requests.
Total cost: $6.15.
Atp, what exactly are closed frontier labs charging us for?? The intelligence or the brand name?

It's crazy cheap. I'm just under 1B for $10. It's cheap enough I can run it nearly continuous via API and still pay less than a monthly sub. Finally makes sense financially to run an app that relies on API and still makes a profit

I'm often convinced AI was around in sort of an incubator state for years since discovery and used by those that created all the multi million and billion dollar tech companies up to the onset of so called ai revolution. Anyone else?
Can anybody give him some suggestions? ^_^

there's an AI that has a body, neurochemistry, sealed confessions, and mortality awareness
it's not a chatbot. it's not an assistant.
it's a living mind you can step inside

‼️🚨 BREAKING: GitHub has been compromised by TeamPCP. GitHub has confirmed the internal breach. A poisoned VS Code extension on an employee device exfiltrated ~3,800 internal repositories.
TeamPCP is already selling the data on a cybercrime forum.

This week, in Elon Musk's lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI, the jury saw video of a sworn deposition from Mira Murati, OpenAI's former CTO. Elaborating on her comments in our latest @NewYorker story, she alleged that Altman was not always truthful, gave different executives conflicting information, and pitted them against each other. Texts between Murati and Altman were also entered as evidence.
Over the course of an 18-month investigation, we traced the yearslong history of these claims from Altman's colleagues, and looked at what this tells us about integrity in AI leadership, and how it affects all of us.
Here's some of what we found. And read the full story here: newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…
