The Rise Of The Neo Neo Lab (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, the conventional wisdom was simple: models are commoditizing, so enterprises shouldn’t bother training their own.Why do the difficult and costly work of building a model when you can buy frontier intelligence from Anthropic or OpenAI through an API? Instead, enterprises should focus their energy on the layers where they actually differentiate: applications, proprietary data, and workflows.What if that advice had it backwards?Cheap, abundant base intelligence was supposed to make bui
Is the promise of “Siri” finally here? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When ChatGPT first came out, there was a lot of discussion around having an all in one personal AI assistant - what some would refer to as a true Siri.

Atlas, Comet, and Copilot Mode were the first signals: browsing was becoming orchestration, not search. But none of them stuck. The models couldn’t hold a long-horizon task together and broke after a few steps. So we kept watching as the models and harnesses matured, meeting dozens of compani
Open Weights, Many Winners (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This will be remembered as the summer of open models.Every week we are seeing new open weights models nearing and in some cases surpassing frontier level performance: Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, DeepSeek V4 Pro and Qwen3-Coder are all topping leaderboards and competing with the top Claude and GPT models, often at a fraction of the cost. Even US companies are getting into the open models game, with Mira Mura
