Highlights

• A viral paper reframes “prompt engineering = context entropy reduction,” giving agent designers a humbling reminder.
• Sam Altman × Satya Nadella discuss USD 1.4T in AI capex; layoffs + expansion are thrust under the spotlight.
• OpenAI faces accusations of “the most expensive theft of human knowledge,” while Chinese founders examine the “resource curse” inside large firms.

Research Watch

• Context-as-entropy explains why making models understand intent is tantamount to continuously lowering instruction entropy, providing a workable baseline for prompt/agent design.

Industry / Capital

• Sam & Satya admit the real bottleneck is power + datacentres. Coupled with mass layoffs, it signals the second phase of the compute arms race.
• OpenAI data controversies, Tang Binsen’s “resource curse” talk, and the “big companies chase budgets, small teams craft products” speech all urge teams to reassess growth and value creation.

Open Source / Tools

• opencode, glow, DeepCode, LinkSwift, and nano-vllm cover terminal AI, doc reading, agent coding, download acceleration, and lightweight local inference—solid additions to any toolkit.

Community Signals

• Neon social cards, sober takes on 3D model hype, AI-written posts summarized again by AI (“information loops”), failed 10U AI trading experiments, and bilingual-blogger memes show we welcome efficiency yet remain wary of distortion and bubbles.
