Today’s AI News

  1. Claude Code just launched its brand-new “Learning Mode” 🧠💡! This awesome feature aims to tackle the dreaded “AI dependence skill decay” that comes from relying too much on AI. Instead of just handing out answers, it acts like your personal programming coach, guiding users to pause at key steps and actually do the work themselves, helping them truly master coding skills.
  2. Gemma 3 270M, Google’s open-source lightweight large model, is a real gem ✨! Despite packing only 270M parameters, it crushes it in instruction following and text structuring tasks, even outperforming some much larger models. Its low power consumption is a huge plus, allowing it to run smoothly on devices like phones or Raspberry Pis, making it perfect for building light, fast, and budget-friendly AI applications. 📱
  3. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has laid out OpenAI’s epic blueprint 🤯🔮! We’re talking trillions of dollars invested in building data centers and developing next-gen AI hardware, even diving into the brain-computer interface realm, aiming to totally disrupt search and social media. Altman believes we’re smack dab in a pivotal AI era, kind of like the dot-com bubble, and the GPT-5 launch marks “the best of times, the worst of times.”
  4. XinZhiYuan is celebrating its 10th anniversary and kicking off the ASI Era 🚀🌟!
