ARC-AGI-3 Turns AI Testing Into a Video Game — And Every Frontier Model Is Losing
For seven years, the ARC benchmark has been the one test that AI couldn’t brute-force its way through.

China’s AI agent war just found its biggest distribution channel. On March 22, Tencent launched ClawBot — a tool that embeds the OpenClaw AI agent directly into WeChat as a contact.

ChatGPT Ads Pilot: $60 CPM, $200K Minimums, and Advertisers Already Pushing Back
OpenAI is six weeks into selling ads inside ChatGPT. The early numbers tell a conflicted story: a $60 CPM that’s roughly 3x Meta’s average, a $200,000 minimum buy-in for what’s essentially a beta test, and a rollout so slow that some of the biggest advertising agencies in the world are questioning whether they’ll get enough… Continue reading

OpenAI Parameter Golf: $1M in Compute Credits for Squeezing a Language Model Into 16MB
OpenAI just launched a public competition that feels more like a hacker challenge than a corporate event. The premise is deceptively simple: build the best language model you can, but it has to fit — code, weights, and all — into 16 megabytes. That’s smaller than most smartphone photos. And your total training budget? Ten… Continue reading
