It’s the Operating Model, Not the AI Model: Cursor’s Near Real-Time RL Machine Traditionally, most AI labs and companies develop in batch mode, relying on pre-collected or synthetic datasets and launching model updates only a handful of times per year. Cursor flipped the script by integrating near real-time RL (Reinforcement Learning) feedback directly into a closed-loop lifecycle. With every developer keystroke, suggestion acceptance,
GPT-5: OpenAI's 3D Chess Match The GPT-5 launch has been, well, tumultuous, to say the least. For this article I'm going to mostly park the launch controversies and focus on the features that push the frontier of AI but aren't so big and sexy. These aren’t the kind of headline
Christmas in August: An AI Story Models Pushing the Frontier of AI This week is going to feel like Christmas in August, with today alone seeing 3 different models push the frontier in very different ways. OpenAI releases its first Open Source model since GPT-2, DeepMind's Genie 3 is an interactive world-builder with consistent
Understanding World Models: AI's Internal Map of Reality World Models (WMs) are a fundamental concept in artificial intelligence (AI) and are seen by some top researchers as the key to making progress towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and ultimately Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). Think of them as internal maps of reality that an AI creates for itself to
This Week in GenAI: xAI Takes a Giant Step Forward Grok Steps Into The Top Model Spot This week, xAI exploded onto the stage with the launch of Grok 4 Heavy—transforming a three-way sprint between OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google into a four-horse race to reach AGI. Grok’s debut shattered benchmarks across the board, putting it squarely in the
This Week In GenAI: Battle Labs This Week in GenAI: Battle Labs & Anthropic Gives Claude a No-Code Upgrade The GenAI landscape is continuing to rapidly consolidate around features, with so much feature parody it's a term call Battle Labs. This week provided fresh clarity on how pricing, talent, developer tools, and legal rulings
apple Apple × Perplexity? Apple has the cash, but are they thinking big enough? Perplexity or Anthropic could instantly reshape Siri, Safari, and their AI trajectory.
openai GenAI's Velocity Continues: Here's What Moved the Needle for Builders this Week GenAI keeps accelerating. This week changed the economics of reasoning models and proved AI video and voice are now business-ready. Here's what that means for AI builders and startups.
openai Blurred Lines: AI Frontier Labs Continue to Vertically Integrate AI Week may be over, but the updates keep coming. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are turning labs into platforms, bundling features into super apps, and redefining enterprise utility. Is this GenAI’s “iPhone flashlight” moment?
