Open‑weight models have transformed the economics of AI. Today, developers can deploy powerful models such as Kimi, DeepSeek, Qwen, MiniMax, and GPT‑OSS locally, running them entirely on their own infrastructure and retaining full control over their systems.
Dictate prompts and tag files automatically
Stop typing reproductions and start vibing code. Wispr Flow captures your spoken debugging flow and turns it into structured bug reports, acceptance tests, and PR descriptions. Say a file name or variable out loud and Flow preserves it exactly, tags the correct file, and keeps inline code readable. Use voice to create Cursor and Warp prompts, call out a variable like user_id, and get copy you can paste straight into an issue or PR. The result is faster triage and fewer context gaps between engineers and QA. Learn how developers use voice-first workflows in our Vibe Coding article at wisprflow.ai. Try Wispr Flow for engineers.

In 2025, consumers spent more money on non-game mobile apps than they did on games for the first time, according to the findings from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower’s annual “State of Mobile” report. While this milestone had been seen in particular markets, like the U.S., or during certain quarters, 2025 marked the first time it occurred globally.
The CEOs of both Anthropic and Google DeepMind warned that AI is already dampening demand for entry-level technology roles. Demis Hassabis of DeepMind highlighted a slowdown in hiring for junior software and research positions and predicted the impact could intensify by 2026. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei echoed these sentiments. He noted similar trends at his own company, particularly regarding coding roles and internships.

Anthropic just published Claude’s Constitution, a foundational document that governs how the company’s AI assistant thinks and acts — a philosophy-heavy guide that even entertains the possibility its AI might be conscious. The constitution is written directly to Claude, laying out a priority order: be safe, ethical, compliant with Anthropic guidelines, and finally helpful to users.
ElevenLabs released a full album of tracks co-created with its Eleven Music model, featuring artists like EGOT winner Liza Minnelli and Simon Garfunkel — in what the company calls a proof-of-concept for human-AI collaboration done right. The 13-track project spans rap, EDM, spoken word, and Brazilian funk, with each artist keeping full ownership and pocketing all streaming royalties.
Evaluating technical candidates is becoming harder as AI capabilities improve. Each new model forces companies to redesign tests. This post describes one company's original take-home design, how each Claude model defeated it, and the increasingly unusual approaches the company has had to take to ensure its tests stay ahead of top models' capabilities.
Khan Academy is integrating Gemini into new literacy tools that guide students through writing and reading instead of handing them answers. A Reading Coach and Writing Coach are rolling out for grades 5-12, with AI adapting feedback based on where each student is struggling.
