The viral AI assistant formerly known as Clawdbot (then Moltbot, now OpenClaw) just led to an unexpected offshoot: Moltbook, a Reddit-style platform where AI agents post, comment, and interact with each other as humans watch. The platform hit 1.4M registered agents and over 1M human visitors in days, though a researcher claimed to have created 500k accounts with a single bot
Better prompts. Better AI output.
AI gets smarter when your input is complete. Wispr Flow helps you think out loud and capture full context by voice, then turns that speech into a clean, structured prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant. No more chopping up thoughts into typed paragraphs. Preserve constraints, examples, edge cases, and tone by speaking them once. The result is faster iteration, more precise outputs, and less time re-prompting. Try Wispr Flow for AI or see a 30-second demo.
Vector databases, designed to handle high-dimensional vectors generated by ML models, play a pivotal role in this process. Here, we explore the top eight vector databases for AI and ML projects in 2026, highlighting their unique features and capabilities.
Moonshot AI has released Kimi K2.5, their most powerful open-source model that brings native multimodal capabilities and a very powerful capability to self-direct an agent swarm with up to 100 sub-agents that work in parallel. Built on 15 trillion tokens of mixed visual and text data, K2.5 tackles complex tasks by breaking them into parallelizable chunks, orchestrating up to 1,500 coordinated tool calls while cutting execution time by 4.5x.
X recently open-sourced its algorithm. This post dissects the code to find out how it works. The algorithm tries to maximize positive engagement and minimize negative engagement while prioritizing quality over quantity. Controversial content persists despite penalties because volume overwhelms penalty.
Vercel published eval results that challenge the "skills" approach for coding agents. Their AGENTS.md format - basically structured markdown instructions in context - outperformed dynamically-retrieved skills, which agents failed to invoke 56% of the time. The problem isn't that skills are bad; it's that current models aren't reliably learning when to reach for them, making simpler, always-present context more effective in practice.
AI can help you move faster, but real leadership still requires human judgment.

Reports say Nvidia and OpenAI are reassessing how they work together as OpenAI raises one of the largest funding rounds in tech history. Discussions now include Nvidia taking an equity stake worth tens of billions. Jensen Huang has reportedly told industry contacts the original 100B dollar deal was non binding. He has also questioned OpenAI’s discipline and pointed to pressure from Google and Anthropic.
India's finance minister has proposed a tax holiday through 2047 for foreign cloud providers that run AI workloads from Indian data centers, as long as revenues come from services sold outside the country. The move is designed to position India as a global compute hub amid fierce competition for AI infrastructure investment.
Elon Musk's SpaceX has applied to the FCC for permission to launch up to one million satellites into low-Earth orbit to create "orbital data centers" designed to handle the growing demands of AI computing. The company claims the solar-powered system would be more cost and energy-efficient than traditional data centers, which require enormous power and water for cooling.
Tether launched USAT, a U.S.-regulated stablecoin issued through Anchorage Digital Bank — its first product designed to comply with new federal rules and compete directly with Circle’s USDC. Fidelity Investments also just launched a competing stablecoin on Wednesday, joining JPMorgan Chase and PayPal in a broadening race.
