Kimi K3's weights take up 1.56 terabytes on disk. The reasonable assumption is that running it needs a machine that can hold 1.56 terabytes, which is why frontier models feel like data center property. A project kimi-k3-in-c runs the full model on an ordinary CPU with 8.24GB of RAM and no GPU at all. Nothing was cut down or approximated to get there. Same model, same weights, same output.

The idea of a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) is that there are two parties: the prover and the verifier. The prover asserts that it has a solution to a (generally NP-complete) problem. The prover can convince the verifier of this without sharing the actual solution to the problem. While they are used to secure some cryptocurrencies, that is not their only use case.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash can now run locally and roughly twice as fast without the output changing. The speedup comes from DSpark, DeepSeek's own speculative decoding algorithm, now wired into llama.cpp and enabled automatically in Unsloth Studio. So this isn't something to build a product on. It's a way to run a frontier-scale model on hardware you already own, watch it work, and see for yourself that it does.

Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei just chimed in on investor Gavin Baker’s X conversation with coworker Sholto Douglas, rejecting that his safety alarms have backfired and saying the only way AI wins trust back is by “actually curing cancer.” Baker shared a rumor that Amodei envisions Anthropic one day becoming “the only private company in the world”, with Douglas calling it “completely false”.

OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar told investors that enterprise revenue has overtaken ChatGPT's consumer business, months ahead of schedule. The company that became the most famous consumer AI product in history now makes the majority of its money selling to other companies. OpenAI's ARR hit $40 billion in July, up 20% month over month, with enterprise growing at 32%.

Beijing neurosurgery resident Shanmu Jin proved Crouzeix’s Conjecture, a matrix problem unsolved since 2004, with GPT-5.6 Sol surfacing the result after a 16-hour autonomous session in ChatGPT Work. Jin reached the problem through brain-ultrasound research, teaching himself advanced math after undergraduate geology and medical training.

Dario Amodei's wife Cami Clark advises him with no job title as Anthropic lines up its IPO. Claude cannot confirm that Dario Amodei is married, and almost nothing about his wife exists online. Clark works as a sounding board and strategic adviser to Amodei while holding no job at Anthropic. Justice Department files show her pitching Jeffrey Epstein for money and carry no accusation against her.
