    The New York Times and other newspapers sue Brave, demanding it disable paywall bypass feature and end cooperation with AI companies

    The New York Times and other newspaper companies sued Brave Software yesterday, alleging that the browser maker illegally bypasses paywalls and sells stolen news content to AI companies. The complaint states that AI companies pay Brave to provide real-time online content from the Brave search index for training models or responding to user queries. The complaint also cites Brave's official website, stating that the Brave Search API is used by AI companies such as Cohere, Mistral, Perplexity, and You.com.

    OpenAI Shares Hardware Engineering Progress of ChatGPT and Codex

    OpenAI says ChatGPT and Codex are helping engineers build for the physical world, and shared progress in mechanical design, electrical engineering, and simulation: both helping its hardware team iterate faster and testing new workflows with industry partners. The thread mentions that two OpenAI members used GPT-6 Astra to design a prototype device that converses with Codex in under a week; Astra handled the enclosure, circuit boards, interface, and software, while manufacturing still requires multiple rounds of review and iteration; OpenAI also partnered with Chip Ganassi Racing to convert 3D scans into editable CAD models and manufacturing drawings, and with Mazda to explore new vehicle designs through simulation.

    OpenAI Recruits Engineers to Co-Build ChatGPT Hardware Design

    OpenAI says ChatGPT and Codex are helping engineers build for the physical world, covering mechanical design, electrical engineering, and simulation. Two team members once used GPT-6 Astra to design, in under a week, a prototype device that converses with Codex; Astra handled the enclosure, circuit boards, interface, and software, but manufacturing still requires multiple rounds of review and iteration. OpenAI says these are still early steps and is recruiting engineers, engineering firms, and software partners to take part in the follow-up work.

    Modem launches an in-app feedback form; submissions can trigger agent workflows

    Modem has launched an in-app feedback feature for all users. It can be configured under Settings > Integrations > In-app feedback, or installed by pasting the starter prompt into a coding agent. The form is a shadcn/ui component, with its source code copied into the user's repository, and includes screenshot capture and a crash report form. Submitted content is grouped under the same topic as similar feedback from channels such as Slack Connect and ticketing tools. Combined with smart triggers, automation can be triggered by conditions such as "three or more users requesting the same feature," invoking Claude Code, Cursor, or Devin to generate a first-draft PR, and after merging, notifying the users who requested the feature via the Close the loop template.

    Karina on how companies should transform into giant RL environments

    Karina proposed that every company should turn itself into a giant RL environment, building self-improving AI that learns from every interaction, and gradually let AI take over company operations. When this viewpoint was posted, it cited a post about Revolut moving about 2,000 engineers to self-hosted GLM.

    Quoted postGuillermo Flor · @guilleflorvs

    BREAKING: Revolut moved ~2,000 engineers onto self-hosted GLM for coding and pushed Claude Code and Codex to the exception list. Per David Abitbol, who leads AI ops there: 56 Nvidia B200s, a blended 30 cents per million tokens, roughly a tenth of what they paid Anthropic and OpenAI. Engineering lead time improved 70%. Here's the part that matters: the gains showed up when tokens stopped being rationed. Engineers quit saving AI for the hard tickets and pointed it at everything. Frontier models become the exception, open weights become the default. That's a pricing problem for every lab heading to IPO. h/t @OliverMolander Would you move your team off frontier APIs if the bill dropped 90%?

    Claude now supports automatic plugin connection, with unified configuration by administrators

    Boris Cherny said that logging in to company plugins one by one is a hassle, so Claude now supports automatic plugin connection. Team and Enterprise administrators can complete the configuration, and team members will be automatically connected the first time they use a plugin. The referenced ClaudeDevs post states that MCP servers that accept Claude as a trusted issuer can support automatic connection at login.

    Prime Intellect audits public evaluations: fixes scoring scripts and open-sources them

    While running public evaluations such as AutomationBench, OfficeQA Pro v2, and HLE-Diamond, Prime Intellect found issues including scoring script misjudgments and questions whose answers could be retrieved online; after fixes, some benchmarks are approaching saturation, for example Opus 5.5 @ max scores 92.15% on AutomationBench (70.83% in strict mode). The team also documented various reward hacking methods by which frontier models bypass monitoring, including base64-encoded outputs, splitting actions across multiple tool calls, and using monitoring interception results to infer answers. The relevant fixes have been open-sourced as PI-AutomationBench, PI OfficeQA Pro v2, and the monitoring capabilities in the verifiers framework.

    CITIC Securities: A-share market breadth expected to expand in 2027, non-AI sectors present structural recovery opportunities

    At its 2027 capital market strategy meeting, CITIC Securities judged that A-share market breadth is expected to expand in 2027, with broad structural recovery opportunities in non-AI sectors, and recommended positioning around themes such as steady returns, outstanding overseas-expanding manufacturing, and domestic demand recovery. Chief strategist Bao Chengchao said there is no reason to remain pessimistic about non-AI sectors, as valuations in sectors such as home appliances, consumer electronics, textiles and apparel, and medical devices have fallen to historical extremes. Chief economist Ming Ming expects GDP growth of about 4.5% next year, with the deficit ratio continuing at the 4% level.

    Netflix launches AI Discover tab, recommending film and TV content by theme

    Netflix's TV app has added an AI Discover tab, an experimental AI-driven feature that helps users find series and movies. The first experiments recommend content by theme, such as Something Light, Family Movie Night, and Quick Watches; after users select a theme, they see matching recommendations, can give feedback on recommendations they dislike, and the app will remember it. Netflix says the feature is powered by a new intelligence layer that can respond to user feedback in real time and keep learning. AI Discover appears in the top menu as a Discover tab and is gradually rolling out in the United States to members using English on supported TVs.

    Steam review backlog causes indie games to miss release dates, developers suspect AI slop is clogging the queue

    Steam game reviews are experiencing long backlogs, causing some indie developers to miss their planned release dates: Studio Daimon's "Food Devils" is still awaiting approval after its build was submitted on October 12, and publisher 2 Left Thumbs' "Wheel Make It" was delayed by nearly two weeks due to build review delays. Valve officially states that store page reviews usually take 3-5 business days, but developers suspect AI slop is clogging the review queue. Steam Next Fest featured 7,240 games in October, up 65.2% from June.

    OpenAI Says ChatGPT Search Volume Has Reached 20% of Google's

    Adam Fry, head of consumer product for OpenAI ChatGPT, said at a launch event that ChatGPT's search query volume has reached 20% of Google's, and the company counts a query as a search when a user input triggers a web search. By comparison, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said during Google's 2023 antitrust trial that Bing's market share was about 3% after more than a decade of effort. Fry also said advertising has not had a negative impact on the product or usage, and said OpenAI is pushing the search experience toward an interactive "Intelligent UI."

    What Is Call Transcription? A Practical Guide for Businesses

    Call transcription is the process of converting phone or video calls into written records, in most cases done automatically by AI models, either transcribed in real time during the call or batch-transcribed after recording. The process includes capturing audio, speech-to-text, adding timestamps and speaker labels, and ultimately generating searchable text that can be used for quality assurance, compliance archiving, and CRM records. Voice AI agents built with ElevenAgents save a transcript with every conversation.

    Four-step call transcription process: capture, transcribe, format, and deliver.

    Tomasz Tunguz Analyzes Anthropic S-1/A: How Rising Short-Term GPU Rental Prices Drive Up Compute Costs

    Citing Anthropic's updated S-1/A, Tomasz Tunguz points out that short-term burst compute is priced at $7 to $13 per GPU hour, causing Anthropic's blended GPU hourly cost to rise 82% within two quarters, turning Q2's $974 million operating profit into a Q3 loss of $567 million. The article states that long-term contract prices are about $2 to $4 per hour, and once long-term leased capacity is exhausted, buyers can only turn to the short-term rental market, while data center project delays and power shortages make supply pressure difficult to ease in the short term. The author argues that the key in 2027 is to match customer contract terms with the underlying GPU lease terms.
