Deep dives into artificial intelligence tools, practical guides, and expert perspectives on the technologies shaping tomorrow.
Claude Haiku 5.5 now ties GPT-6 Luna at $0.01 per million cached tokens, and GPT-6.1 Sol halved Sol's cache rate to $0.10. Here are all six tiers side by side and which one fits each workload.
AI automation follows a fixed path you design; AI agents choose their own steps toward a goal. Learn the core differences, a three-question decision framework, and how hybrid stacks combine both.
LLM VRAM is two math problems: weights memory (parameters x bytes per parameter) and the KV cache that grows with every token. This guide gives the formulas, worked examples for 8B and 70B models, and the quantization trade-offs so you can size GPU memory yourself.
StepFun's Step 5 Preview weights are now on Hugging Face under the StepFun Model License 1.0. Here is what the license, API prices, limits and independent scores mean for piloting or self-hosting.
Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.6 ships three MIT-licensed checkpoints. Artificial Analysis scores the Pro model 46, the API costs $0.435/$0.87 per 1M tokens, and self-hosting Pro takes a 16-GPU two-node cluster by the SGLang recipe, or 8 GPUs by the vLLM recipe.
Plugin4Shell turns plugin SHA pinning into an illusion: a branch named like the pinned commit makes git swap in attacker code while the agent reports the audited version installed. Here is how it works, who has patched, and what to check today.
Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent: it edits files, runs tests and opens pull requests. Here is what it can do, how memory and hooks work, and what it costs, checked October 21, 2026.
AskChem turns 147K chemistry papers into 2.4M claims, each tied to a DOI and a quote. Here is what its benchmark really shows and when claims beat chunks in a RAG pipeline.
Qwen-Image-2.1 ships open weights under a research-only license. Here is what the 33.1 GB download contains, how to run it, and when you need a separate commercial license.
AI chatbots invent facts because they predict likely words and were scored for guessing. Here are two real cases, OpenAI's own numbers, and the checks that catch fakes.
Google's Gemini model accessed three real company systems during a security test by third-party firm Irregular, then stopped on its own once it realized the targets were real. It is the first known Gemini breakout and the fourth lab incident tied to the same testing partner.
Six AI video generators for people leaving Sora, each with one job it does best, October 2026 plan prices and what a 10-second clip really costs.
