Elon Musk’s newly rebranded SpaceXAI is reportedly losing top talent, with more than 50 researchers and engineers departing since February, according to The Information. The exits include key leaders across coding, world models, and Grok voice.  Rivals like Meta and Thinking Machine Labs are reportedly scooping up former staff, with the company’s core pre-training team dwindling to just a handful of people. Since February, at least 11 xAI employees have defected to Meta, according to The Information’s report. At least seven have left to join Mira Murati’s Thinking Machine Labs. TechCrunch has previously reported on 11 of the xAI departures announced…

Codex is going mobile. The coding tool — which OpenAI launched approximately a year ago — has now been integrated into the ChatGPT app, allowing users to monitor and manage their development workflows remotely. The new function allows users to see their Codex live environments in any devices where it is running. The company announced the changes Thursday; the update, which is currently in preview, is now available to all plans on iOS and Android. “This is more than the ability to remotely control a single task or dispatch new tasks to your computer,” OpenAI said in a statement. “From…

Whether you’re outside on a long run or grinding on a treadmill, a good playlist can make the miles fly by. But the best running headphones do more than just play music. They need to stay put through sweaty jogs, offer controls you can easily use mid-stride, and sound good enough to keep you motivated when your legs start to fade. To find the best headphones for running, I tested a wide range of options over several months, using them on daily runs totaling around 500 miles. Along the way, I listened to everything from podcasts and audiobooks to high-energy…

Richard Socher has been a major figure in AI for some time, best known for founding the early chatbot startup You.com and, before that, his work on ImageNet. Now he’s joining the current generation of research-focused AI startups with Recursive Superintelligence, a San Francisco-based startup that came out of stealth on Wednesday with $650 million in funding. Socher is joined in the new venture by a cohort of prominent AI researchers, including Peter Norvig and Cresta co-founder Tim Shi. Together, they’re working to create a recursively self-improving AI model, one that can autonomously identify its own weaknesses and redesign itself…

Sam Altman got a whole lot richer Thursday morning. Loading audio narration… The OpenAI CEO has a multimillion-dollar stake in the chipmaker Cerebras, which kicked off the largest initial public offering of the year on Thursday.

That’s now multiplied. Cerebras’ stock price was…

OpenAI is so frustrated with Apple over a ChatGPT integration that failed to deliver the subscribers and prominence it expected that the company is now actively exploring legal action against the iPhone maker, Bloomberg News reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. According to Bloomberg, OpenAI has enlisted an outside law firm to work through its options, which could include sending Apple a formal breach-of-contract notice without necessarily escalating to a full lawsuit (at least not immediately). Any legal move would likely wait until after the conclusion of OpenAI’s ongoing trial with Elon Musk. Still, it’s a reminder of…

Silicon Valley’s tokenmaxxing era now has its own hardware. A new open source project brings your Claude Code utilization stats into a tiny desktop dashboard, allowing AI power users to keep an eye on their usage. Sure, you can track Claude Code usage directly in the terminal using commands or other external tools and apps, but that’s not as fun as seeing a pixel-art version of the Clawd sprite dance on a screen before showing at-a-glance token usage info, is it? The “Clawdmeter,” as the device is called, is both a fun side project for AI power users and a…

Top Anthropic executive Mike Krieger’s message to college graduates and their parents nervous about AI is that they’re not the only ones going through this process.

One of his messages is that there will continue to be innately human areas…

Decision overload is real. Some estimates suggest the average American adult makes up to 35,000 decisions every day.1 When those choices accumulate in the workplace, especially when leaders are expected to contend with disconnected systems, this overload can cause what’s commonly called “decision fatigue.””Decision fatigue is a psychological phenomenon that happens when we have the cognitive load of making decisions over and over again throughout the day,” explained leadership psychologist and founder of Sharp Brain Consulting Dr. Jessica Sharp in a recent webinar. Multiple small decisions compound, and when it comes to making significant, strategic decisions, our brains are too…
