The Vercel MCP server can now deploy code directly to a new or existing project. When your AI assistant finishes building something, it can ship it to Vercel and hand back a shareable URL without leaving the chat. Point the deploy_to_vercel tool at your files and Vercel creates the project, detects the framework, installs dependencies, and builds. You get a URL you can open and share while the build finishes in the background. To get started, connect the Vercel MCP server to Claude, Cursor, or a

Health in ChatGPT now lets eligible U.S. users securely connect medical records and Apple Health to get more personalized insights and better understand their health.

Vercel now supports WebSocket connections for Python applications. WebSockets enable bidirectional communication between client- and server-side code, powering real-time features like interactive AI streaming, real-time chat, and multiplayer live collaboration. Both ASGI and WSGI applications are supported, including frameworks like FastAPI, Django, and Flask. Explore the FastAPI AI Chat and Flask AI Chat examples, or read the WebSockets documentation to get started. Read more

<p>We're going to look at three different kinds of benchmarks, one set of calculations for baseline numbers for performance "napkin math" estimates, one set of AI model evals, and one on car tires. To build my intuition for things, I like thinking about them before seeing the explanation, so these are presented with the benchmark information first and the explanation later in case you want to think about your answer before seeing my thoughts.</p> <p><b>29.</b> A friend of mine is reviewing perfo

<p>This story is wild. The short version: OpenAI were running a cybersecurity test against an unreleased model, with the model's guardrail features turned off.

When Hugging Face got hit last week, co-founder Clement Delangue suspected a frontier lab, given the agent's sophistication. He was right. Delangue said on X that after a day working with OpenAI he strongly believed there was no malicious intent and that it was mind-blowing the whole thing had happened autonomously. The two OpenAI models that broke into Hugging Face last week did not breach it through malice or superintelligence. They breached it through credentials and permissions they should n
