Amazon, which started off selling books, is destroying rare texts to train AI
Rare books are incredibly valuable for training LLMs, since these models have already trained on whatever's available online.
Ask HN: What's the Best Agent Harness?

Webwright: Why AI Web Agents Should Write Code, Not Click
For years, web agents have worked one click at a time—and often fallen apart on long tasks. Microsoft Research’s Webwright makes a different bet: give the model a terminal and let it write the program instead. On long-horizon tasks, the same GPT-5.4 model jumps from 33.5% to 60.1% success. And instead of leaving behind a click trace, it leaves something you can actually use again: a command-line tool.

Ask HN: If you're burning tokens at scale, what are you using them for?
I know lots of people use tokens to run coding agents, but I'm interested in hearing from people who are burning large amounts of tokens on automated tasks that aren't driving some kind of agent. Do you have processes set up that are e.g. processing documents, audio, or video files? Particularly interested in hearing from people doing this in a business context.

AWS Weekly Roundup: EC2 application status checks, IAM role manager, OpenAI Daybreak on Bedrock, and more (August 17, 2026)
Last week, AWS contributors joined the OpenSearch and Valkey communities at Open Source Summit Korea 2026 and MCP DevSummit Seoul 2026 to meet open source developers and contributors. At the four-day event, community leaders and users of these Linux Foundation open source projects gathered to share knowledge, collaborate on solutions, and push the projects forward. […]
Trivially bypass text watermarks by requesting a Base64 response
Anthropic plans to release text watermarking based on SynthID, which modulates the PNRG behind the token choosing mechanism deterministically in a way that lets another tool later estimate whether text was written by AI. This is trivial to bypass that, it's current form: 1. Ask for the response/essay/email encoded in base64 2. Decode it using https://www.base64decode.org/ While the encoded text will follow the watermarked distribution, the decoded text will not. Comments URL: https://news.ycombi

Is Shipyard Welding the Right First Job for Humanoid Robots?
Humanoids desperately need to stop making YouTube videos and get a job already, and Persona AI is one of the few humanoid companies which seems to be entirely focused on making that happen. Persona’s approach has been to carefully select a job that is economically viable for robots right now, and they’ve found one that was also the job of one of the very first industrial robots ever sold : welding. IEEE Spectrum first spoke with Persona two years ago , shortly after it was founded by Nic Radford

From AI Copilots to Agent Swarms
The impact of AI on software development has been both profound and ever-evolving. Last year, I wrote about AMD’s plans to use AI not just for generating new lines of code, but also for other steps in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), such as triaging problems, debugging code, and testing the software. At the time, we were hoping for a 25 percent productivity boost from AI use over the course of two or three years. But with each new release, the capabilities of large language models (LL

AI Used to Verify Toughest Mathematics Proof Yet
Representing a significant milestone in AI-assisted mathematical research, a team at Axiom Math has automatically verified the proof of a theorem relating to prime numbers—colloquially referred to as the “246 theorem”—for the first time using the company’s AI system AxiomProver. In formal verification, mathematicians task a computer with checking a machine-readable version of a proof. The process is not a 100 percent guarantee that the proof is correct, as a recent demonstration showed , exposin
