Pew Research Center finds 51% of Americans say no, cite lack of interest - not know-how - as the top reason

With AI, a lot of things are way easier to build than they once were. So I wonder how big organisations now decide whether to build vs. buy. Building is easy, but you still need to maintain and support everything you build in-house. I'm especially curious how this varies by organisation size.

The Enso Method is a new set of AI skills for Claude Code and Codex which I've open sourced on GitHub predominantly for developers who build for someone else who is making the product/business calls. I've been using AI to write basically 100% of my code since late 2024, back in the Sonnet 3.5 days, when it barely worked and there were few people doing this and very little support for this way of developing. I stubbornly thought this was going to be the future and came up with a methodology for m

Meta’s biggest model rivals the world’s best—and includes new features to keep agents from going off the rails.

Meta is making up for lost time in the AI race. After launching Muse Spark, the first model from its revamped Superintelligence Labs division, and buzzy AI agent Muse, it's now launching two new models it claims can go toe-to-toe with the industry's best. The new models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, are available […]

I've been working on this app for a couple months, because I needed help outlining my story being written on Google Docs. I kept adding new characters, and it was difficult for me to keep track of everything going on in the story. I wasn't organized at all. I do have a subscription to Claude, and it helps, sure, but it didn't exactly build a graph of all the story elements connecting together. Throwing 20 chapters into one context was just terrible at narrowing its focus. I started building this

Hey HN, I’m Vishnu from Agent37 ( https://agent37.com ). We build sandboxes for running AI agents at under 10% of the cost of most sandbox providers. Our customers spend an average of $0.37/month per sandbox. You can view a video walkthrough of the product here: https://youtu.be/DK5ISR2tbNo We started as one of those OpenClaw wrapper companies back in February (yup.. judge me). In time we added more and more harnesses. One of the goals I had at the time was to offer a free plan to users, so as t

Microsoft researchers found that autonomous AI agents get trapped in what they call "idea basins" because of their growing chat context, local solution regions they can't escape. Their "Fork-and-Flush" method clears the chat history but keeps the workspace, achieving up to 66 percent better results on the same compute budget. The article Clearing chat history helps AI agents find better solutions appeared first on The Decoder .

At Meta, we’ve built a system that enhances ads recommendations by leveraging idle inference capacity in our fleet. Two elasticity levers in the system allow ads recommendation work to expand across opportunistic capacity, without compromising baseline performance. This post describes how we designed and now operate the system at Meta’s scale and how it drives [...] Read More...

Some meetings last longer than it took attackers to jump on a newly disclosed security flaw this week. Within hours, they were already testing it. That's not much time to read the warning, let alone do something about it. But speed is only part of the problem. A secure connection didn't always mean a safe destination. People offering to fix a ransomware mess had questions to answer themselves.
