But some of the ice may reportedly be melting between the two, thanks to Anthropic’s buzzy new cybersecurity-focused model: Claude Mythos Preview. […]

Tinder users who prove they’re a real person by visiting an identity-verifying orb will soon be able to get five free boosts in the app – and it’s just the latest service to embrace the orb. World, which was co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, initially tested Tinder verification using its facial scanning orbs through […]

Last month, OpenAI gave up on its Sora video generation tool, and on Friday, the Sora team’s leader, Bill Peebles, announced that he is leaving the company. OpenAI has been shifting its priorities as part of an effort to avoid “side quests,” and Peebles’ departure is just one of many recent changes as the company […]

Kevin Weil and Bill Peebles are leaving OpenAI as the company shuts down Sora and folds its science team, signaling a sharp pivot away from consumer moonshots toward enterprise AI.

World, which has raised eyebrows (but also a lot of interest) with its Orb-centered anonymous verification project, is looking to expand its influence via a bevy of new partnerships.

Roboticists used to dream big but build small. They’d hope to match or exceed the extraordinary complexity of the human body, and then they’d spend their career refining robotic arms for auto plants. Aim for C-3P0; end up with the Roomba. The real ambition for many of these researchers was the robot of science fiction—one…

In this tutorial, we explore how to build a fully functional background task processing system using Huey directly, without relying on Redis. We configure a SQLite-backed Huey instance, start a real consumer in the notebook, and implement advanced task patterns, including retries, priorities, scheduling, pipelines, locking, and monitoring via signals. As we move step by […]
