Anthropic accidentally leaked the source code behind its AI coding tool Claude Code to a public registry, exposing over 1,900 files, 500K+ lines of code, and several unreleased features — coming just days after a ‘Mythos’ model leak. Devs found 44 feature flags and three unreleased projects, including persistent cross-session memory and a deep-planning system.
Replace your first 4 hires with AI. Free workshop on April 8th.
Most early-stage founders can't afford their first four hires. Sales, marketing, dev, and support alone can run hundreds of thousands in salaries.

The rise of generative AI and retrieval-augmented systems has further elevated expectations. LLM-powered applications require clean, deduplicated, normalized content. Raw RSS aggregation is insufficient when news becomes part of training pipelines, entity extraction workflows, or automated alerting engines.
Ollama just shipped a native Apple MLX backend. The numbers: 1,851 tokens per second prefill and 134 tok/s decode on an M5 chip. That's fast enough to run a 35B model as your local coding agent with no cloud dependency and no API bills. The technical unlock is NVFP4 quantization paired with MLX's metal-optimized compute path.
Cohere Transcribe is the new #1 on HuggingFace's Open ASR Leaderboard. A 2B Conformer model hitting 5.42% word error rate across 14 languages, Apache 2.0 licensed. Beats Whisper Large v3 and ElevenLabs Scribe v2. Self-host your speech recognition with no vendor lock-in: pip install cohere-transcribe.
Inference is when a model takes an input and generates an output, one token at a time. Inference engineering is becoming more widespread as open models become more capable. With closed models, inference engineering is only done by the AI engineers who build the model, but anyone can tinker with open models.
Most “AI assistants” just talk. This one does the work.

Google Veo 3.1 Lite launched today. Text-to-video and image-to-video at less than half the cost of Veo 3.1 Fast. Available now through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio. If you're building video features into products, this is the cheapest high-quality generation API available.

OpenAI just announced a new $122B funding round at an $852B valuation, the biggest single fundraise in venture history — with the company revealing its plan to push forward on building a unified "AI superapp." Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank anchored $110B of the raise, with Amazon's reportedly carrying an AGI clause that could reset terms if OAI crosses that line.
Slack has announced more than 30 new capabilities for Slackbot, transforming it from a simple chatbot into a full-spectrum enterprise agent. The update, powered by Anthropic's Claude, marks the most sweeping overhaul of the workplace messaging platform since Salesforce acquired it for $27.7 billion in 2021.
Whoop whoop (sorry for the dad joke). Fitness and health tracking wearable company Whoop has closed a $575 million Series G funding round at a $10.1 billion valuation, nearly triple its last reported valuation of $3.6 billion. The round was led by Collaborative Fund and includes participation from sovereign wealth funds, major health institutions, and many prominent athletes and celebrities.
New Photo Assist feature lets users describe any change they want to images, though guardrails block harmful prompts like "dead body" and "fire. Google introduced AI editing tools to Photos slowly. It started with changes to the background — make the sky more blue, or remove crowds of tourists.

How to automate PR reviews with Codex
Source: The Code, Superhuman
PR reviews are a major bottleneck. Reviewers are constantly swamped, regressions slip through the cracks, and missing tests often go unnoticed until production breaks. OpenAI's Codex can solve this by acting as an automated, first-pass reviewer directly within GitHub.
Just enable Codex in your repo settings and comment @codex review on any pull request. It will post inline comments just like a human teammate would. If it flags an issue, simply comment @codex fix it to kick off a cloud task that patches the code and updates the PR automatically.
To customize what Codex looks for, just add an AGENTS.md file to your repo root:
## Review guidelines
- Flag typos and grammar issues as P0 issues.
- Flag potential missing documentation as P1 issues.
- Flag missing tests as P1 issues.
...Codex applies the closest AGENTS.md to each changed file, so you can put stricter rules deeper in the tree for sensitive packages.
