The model scores higher on key benchmarks than its direct rivals in some categories. It is a specialized powerhouse optimized for reliability and long-horizon autonomy. The model is available across all major cloud platforms, with API pricing at $5/$25 per million tokens. MacBook Neo sells out for April as demand for Apple's $599 laptop outpaces supply (2 minute read) The earliest deliveries for new MacBook Neo orders from Apple are now in May. Apple is selling the $599 laptop faster than it can produce them. Inventory quickly sold out after launch, and Apple hasn't caught up with demand. Some Apple retail store locations may still have units available. 🚀 Science & Futuristic Technology OpenAI starts offering a biology-tuned LLM (2 minute read) GPT-Rosalind is a large language model developed by OpenAI specifically trained on common biology workflows. It is able to access major public databases of biological information. The model can suggest likely biological pathways and potential drug targets. It has been tuned to be more skeptical so it can tell users when something is a bad drug target. Access to the model is limited to selected US-based entities via OpenAI's trusted access deployment structure. Physical Intelligence, a hot robotics startup, says its new robot brain can figure out tasks it was never taught (7 minute read) Physical Intelligence, a San Francisco-based robotics startup, has published new research showing that its latest model can direct robots to perform tasks they were never explicitly trained on. The new model, called π0.7, is an early but meaningful step towards a general-purpose robot brain. The model still can't execute complex multi-step tasks autonomously from a single high-level command, but it can be verbally coached to perform new tasks without additional data collection or model retraining. It is still in a research phase and not yet ready to be deployed as a product. 💻 Programming, Design & Data Science TLDR is hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI ($250k-$350k, Fully Remote) TLDR's Applied AI team is tasked with making every process at TLDR legible to code, runnable by anyone, and composable into larger workflows. Join a small, fast moving team using the latest AI tools with an unlimited token budget. Learn more. Hyperframes (GitHub Repo) Hyperframes is an open-source video rendering framework that can create, preview, and render HTML-based video compositions. It has first-class support for AI agents. The CLI is designed for agent-driven workflows and is non-interactive by default. Videos can be rendered to MP4 locally or in Docker. Updates and announcements (Website) Cloudflare just dropped a series of announcements for Agents Week 2026. Cloudflare is building a unified inference layer for agents that will let developers call models from over 14 providers. Cloudflare's Email Service, which allows users to send, receive, and process email natively with agents, is now in public beta. Artifacts is a Git-compatible versioned storage built for agents. 🎁 Miscellaneous Probabilistic engineering and the 24-7 employee (25 minute read) The industry is rapidly moving from deterministic engineering to probabilistic engineering. Deterministic engineering involves writing code, testing it, reviewing it, and knowing what it does. Probabilistic engineering is where large portions of the codebase are generated by stochastic systems, reviewed under time pressure against contexts too large to fully hold, and integrated into a whole that no single human ever designed end-to-end. While generation has become cheap, validation has not. Past a certain throughput, bugs slip through because the output volume has exceeded what human attention can meaningfully inspect, and the models doing reviews miss plenty. The Clip Economy (11 minute read) Clips - snippets of long-form content - have taken over the entire media ecosystem. TBPN, a podcast recently purchased by OpenAI for $200 million, only draws in around 7,000 views per episode. However, the average TBPN clip receives around 257,000 views. TBPN bakes ads directly into its clips, which helped it generate $5 million in revenue last year. Clips are now the main product for a lot of media, rather than a byproduct. ⚡ Quick Links Replay: The durable execution conference for agentic AI (Sponsor) Last chance to join Temporal's practical conference for building prod-ready AI agents from May 5-7!

Netflix Chair Reed Hastings to Leave Board in June (3 minute read) Netflix Chair Reed Hastings has decided not to stand for re-election so he can focus on philanthropy and other pursuits. Write broken commits for better review (6 minute read) Intentionally broken code can lead to better outcomes. Stop comparing price per million tokens: the hidden LLM API costs (4 minute read) Token price is misleading, token efficiency varies by content type, and OpenAI has the most efficient tokenizer. Android CLI: Build Android apps 3x faster using any agent (7 minute read) Google has released a new collection of tools designed to eliminate the guesswork of core Android development workflows when developers direct agents' work outside of Android Studio. New undersea cable cutter risks Internet's backbone (4 minute read) China's new cable-cutting technology can reportedly cut subsea cables at depths of up to 13,123 feet. Laravel raised money and now injects ads directly into your agent (5 minute read) A PR in Laravel Boost introduces a change that tells agents they should use Laravel Cloud to deploy projects.

You remember those early months of the pandemic like it was yesterday, except it wasn’t just yesterday, it was six years ago.The 2020s are more than halfway done. The century is more than 25 percent done! Your babies aren’t babies anymore. You’re not young. Albums and movies you remember coming out are now celebrating anniversaries. Athletes you remember being drafted are retiring after long careers. The Roman poet Virgil said, fugit irreparabile tempus. Time flies irretrievably. Whole blocks of your life go by like that. And you barely notice as it’s happening. Presidential administrations. Winter olympics to summer olympics. Births. Graduations. Weddings. Funerals. This is happening and it’s happening in one direction. We have to pay attention. Seneca reminds us that time “will cause no commotion to remind you of its swiftness, but glide on quietly. It will not lengthen itself for a king’s command or a people’s favor.” Don’t waste it. Don’t miss it. Don’t miss your opportunity to make the most of the moments that turn into months, that turn into years, that turn into decades, and disappear as soon as they pass. Make the most of Stoic wisdom—of reminders like these that can improve your life—by joining us for Meditations Month.

	Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance cross-posted a post from Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara Joyce VanceApr 17 · Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance Preet was out this week, so our friend Mimi Rocah joined me on the Insider Podcast to discuss Representative Eric Swalwell's resignation from Congress, the Presidential Records Act, and the intersection on AG Pam Bondi being fired and Todd Blanche moving into her office.

Can the Department of Justice declare a law unconstitutional? On a new episode of the Insider podcast, Joyce Vance is joined by former Westchester County, New York, District Attorney Mimi Rocah to unpack an Office of Legal Counsel opinion purporting to declare the Presidential Records Act (PRA) unconstitutional. Preet Bharara is out this week. Congress passed the PRA in the wake of President Nixon’s Watergate scandal. The law requires presidents to preserve official records while in office, making clear that those materials are public property, not the president’s personal property. President Donald Trump now appears to be targeting the law, following his criminal prosecution by special counsel Jack Smith for allegedly retaining classified documents after leaving office in 2021. In the OLC opinion, Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel T. Elliot Gaiser wrote that the PRA violates the principle of separation of powers. On the podcast, Mimi explains how unusual it is for DOJ to declare that a law passed by Congress is unconstitutional, especially in the face of Supreme Court precedent: “This is not a typical thing that administrations do, to just say that a law is unconstitutional when there is Supreme Court precedent to the contrary and nothing supporting what [OLC is] saying.” Joyce echoes this point: “OLC…doesn’t have the ability to reverse Supreme Court decisions. And that’s what this one does.” Mimi also frames the opinion as part of a broader pattern inside the Trump administration, explaining: “A lot of what this administration does is about giving permission to people…to do things that they might otherwise hesitate to do.” This opinion is already facing a legal challenge.
