So TechCrunch dropped [a pretty wild story yesterday](https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/16/how-ricursive-intelligence-raised-335m-at-a-4b-valuation-in-4-months/) about [Ricursive Intelligence](https://www.ricursive.com/), and honestly, I’ve been thinking about it since. A $4 billion valuation four months after founding? That’s not just fast — that’s absurd, even by Silicon Valley standards. Here’s the backstory. Dr. Anna Goldie and Dr. Azalia Mirhoseini spent years at Google DeepMind building… Continue reading

So Google finally did it. [Google Workspace Studio](https://workspace.google.com/studio/) hit general availability in February 2026, and honestly, it’s one of those products that makes you wonder why it didn’t exist sooner. The idea is dead simple: you describe what you want an AI agent to do in plain English, and Gemini 3 builds the automation for… Continue reading

I’ve been burned by survey tools more times than I can count. You spend an hour crafting the perfect set of questions, send it out, and then watch your completion rate hover around 30%. It’s painful. So when I spotted [Formaly](https://www.formaly.io/) trending on [Product Hunt with 214 upvotes](https://www.producthunt.com/products/formaly), I had to take a closer look.… Continue reading

Alibaba picked the perfect moment to launch [Qwen 3.5](https://qwenlm.github.io/). Right before Chinese New Year, when every AI company in China is scrambling for attention, they dropped their next-gen open-source multimodal model — and then threw 3 billion yuan (roughly $420 million) in subsidies on top of it just to make sure nobody could look away.… Continue reading

I’ve seen plenty of “type a prompt, get a video” tools come and go. Most of them produce something that looks like a slideshow with transitions at best. So when [Lunair](https://www.lunair.ai/) popped up on [Product Hunt today](https://www.producthunt.com/) and racked up 364 votes, I was curious but skeptical. After spending some time with it, I have… Continue reading

So Google DeepMind quietly dropped something pretty wild on February 12th. It’s called [Aletheia](https://deepmind.google/blog/accelerating-mathematical-and-scientific-discovery-with-gemini-deep-think/), and it’s not just another AI that can ace math competitions. This thing is actually doing *research-level* mathematics on its own — the kind of work that used to require PhD-level expertise and years of effort. Here’s the deal. Aletheia is… Continue reading

If you’re building anything with LLMs right now, you probably know the pain. You’ve got OpenAI keys, Anthropic keys, Google keys, maybe DeepSeek too — and suddenly you’re managing a mess of API endpoints, juggling rate limits, and praying that one provider doesn’t go down at 2 AM on a Friday. That’s exactly the problem… Continue reading

If you’ve spent any time with AI coding agents lately — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, whatever your flavor — you know the drill. You kick off a task, tab over to Slack or Reddit, and then completely forget your agent finished three minutes ago. Or worse, it’s been sitting there waiting for permission while you’re… Continue reading

So [nineninesix.ai](https://www.nineninesix.ai/) quietly released Kani-TTS-2 today, and honestly, I think this one deserves way more attention than it’s getting. It’s a 400M parameter open-source text-to-speech model that runs on as little as 3GB of VRAM. That means your old RTX 3060 sitting in a drawer? Yeah, that works. No cloud GPU rental needed, no waiting… Continue reading

If you’ve been anywhere near the AI coding space in the past year, you’ve probably bumped into [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline). The open-source VS Code extension has quietly built up a massive following — over 5 million developers, 57K+ GitHub stars, and the title of fastest-growing AI open-source project by contributors on GitHub Octoverse. So when the team… Continue reading
