A breakthrough for Google loyalists, and a great option for frontier hoppers—if they can deal with its outdated harness
Two models, one clear tradeoff
A professional creative studio puts GPT-6 to the test
Its new model turns fuzzy questions into probabilities fast and cheaply enough to check an AI agent’s work as it goes
OpenAI’s new model impressed us with writing, operating software, and visual design. Anthropic’s Fable still has better instincts for building a product.
What the most powerful model yet teaches us about the future of knowledge work
The company gets pragmatic in AI’s expensive era
Google I/O wasn't flashy, but it might be the most important yet
AI progress creates more work for humans, not less
Plus: Why Anthropic just acquired a startup that makes developer tools for a reported $300 million, and a mini-Vibe Check on Figma's agent
OpenAI’s new model is a top-end senior engineer—and easy to talk to
Anthropic's latest Opus is more precise, more literal, and the best coding model we've tested on well-specified tasks—but it won't fill in the gaps for you anymore
The AI-native IDE is now becoming an agent-orchestration tool. Will it work?
GPT-5.4 is fast, opinionated, and good enough to tempt our Opus loyalist
Sonnet 4.6 delivers Opus-close performance at half the price—but speed didn't come along for the ride
It one-shotted a problem other models missed—and brings agentic, parallel work to non-coding tasks
OpenAI nailed the interface. But it's built for hardcore engineering.
The asynchronous, agentic workflow developers love is finally accessible to everyone—but the polish isn't there yet
They’re not the companies with the best models—they’re the ones that own what AI has to flow through.
