Thinking Machines debuts Inkling Small open source AI model nearing performance of predecessor at about 1/4 size
Just two weeks after Thinking Machines released Inkling, its first open source AI language model, the well-funded startup led by former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati today introduced Inkling-Small without sacrificing much of any performance — and in fact, the new model surpasses its larger predecessor on several benchmarks.Inkling Small is a 276-billion-parameter multimodal reasoning model with a permissive Apache 2.0 license that comes within a single point of its larger sibling on the third-party Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, despite the original Inkling being 975 billion parameters (internal model settings). It accepts text, image and audio inputs, produces text, and supports a context window of up to one million tokens.Inkling Small uses 12 billion active parameters per token, compared with Inkling’s 41 billion active parameters, while preserving much of the flagship’s coding, reasoning and multimodal performance.For enterprises, the appeal is not simply tha

Tim Cook hints at iCloud Plus tier for AI power users
Apple may allow users to pay to increase their AI usage limits. During an earnings call on Thursday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that he believes people will want to use Apple Intelligence and the upcoming Siri AI "a lot," adding that "we will have some kind of upgrade possibilities on iCloud Plus where people can buy up the stack." This fall, Apple will broadly launch its long-delayed Siri AI with iOS 27, which can do things like answer questions about what's on your screen and take action across your apps. It also includes a new standalone Siri AI app that offers a ChatGPT-like interface. In June, Apple said that its AI features, including … Read the full story at The Verge.
Xbox CEO lays out priorities in memo after major ‘reset’
Asha Sharma. | Image: The Verge, Microsoft After a massive Xbox "reset" that laid off thousands of employees and spun off four studios, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma wants to get Xbox back to growth. In a memo obtained by The Verge, Sharma told staff by the end of fiscal year 2027 (which runs through next June), "we will return XBOX to player and revenue growth." Xbox will also "improve profits back in line with industry averages," Sharma said. "Every function and studio will own part of that outcome." Since taking over Xbox in February, Sharma has made sweeping changes to attempt to turn things around. Previously, she has cited challenges like a low accountability margin, increasing compone … Read the full story at The Verge.
AI price wars: OpenAI cuts GPT-5.6 Luna prices by 80% as model competition shifts toward cost
To quote an ancient Jedi Master Begun, the AI price wars have! OpenAI is sharply reducing the prices of two models in its GPT-5.6 frontier series, cutting GPT-5.6 Luna, the smallest and fastest model in the series, by 80% and GPT-5.6 Terra, the mid-tier model, by 20%, while adding a premium Fast mode for its flagship GPT-5.6 Sol model.The cuts place Luna much closer to the lowest-cost commercial models in the market and arrive just a few days after Anthropic released its highly performant Claude Opus 5 at the same price as Opus 4.8, and Google introduced Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, two rival models built around lower inference costs, faster execution and more efficient agent workloads. OpenAI is successfully undercutting Google s price per intelligence and attempting to sway Anthropic users, who may not mind paying more, with a speed boost. OpenAI says Luna will now cost $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens, for a combined input-plus-output

Meanwhile, Apple … Read the full story at The Verge.
The loss of Situational Awareness
Neither artificial nor intelligent. I am not by any means an expert at finance but I think I do now have some advice for people who are: Do not name your hedge fund anything that will be hilarious if it blows up. Don't use a name like "Long-Term Capital Management," or "Amaranth Advisors" (named for the floral symbol for immortality). Certainly do not call yourself "Situational Awareness," which might as well just be "Hubris, Inc." Anyway, Situational Awareness, the hedge fund started by a 24-year-old former OpenAI employee that focuses on artificial intelligence bets, has sold most or all, depending on who's reporting, of its entire public stock portfolio to Ken Griffin's Ci … Read the full story at The Verge.
