Anthropic's Sonnet 5.5 beats Opus 5.5 on Terminal-Bench at 42% lower cost

Astrophysicist Brice Ménard used Claude Science to predict roughly a third of the map, including much of the galactic plane, filling regions never observed in UV. The map combines far-UV 154 nm and near-UV 232 nm data and labels each pixel measured or predicted with uncertainty estimates.

Hyperscale operators have invested heavily in GPU clusters and high-bandwidth memory, straining data center design as AI development accelerates. The piece examines how intelligent processors and the memory feeding them are reshaping storage requirements.

A single prompt for a Duke Nukem 3D-style shooter produced a complete Java game for old J2ME phones, including a Wolfenstein-like 3D engine written with integer-only math so legacy hardware can run it. The build also generated textured floors, a moonlit sky, and fog, plus its own 3D art.

ML Drift is a cross-platform on-device GPU compute engine released under Apache 2.0, abstracting OpenGL ES, OpenCL, Metal, and WebGPU. It serves as the core GPU acceleration engine inside LiteRT and is also available as a standalone library.

A developer who used DeepSeek 4.1 Flash heavily for a month across a dozen projects says they can't tell it apart from Opus mid-session, and calls it orders of magnitude cheaper than frontier models. With a $10/month OpenCode Go sub, they say DeepSeek is basically unlimited and sessions rarely exceed $1 in expected costs.
