Now it’s shrinking, noting “70 percent of our business has some degree of traffic sensitivity,” while going all-in on AI with a push to use Enterprise ChatGPT, gen-AI site search, an AI paywall, and other products.

DeepSeek says its latest model has a reduced “hallucination” rate, and that it “has significantly improved its depth of reasoning and inference capabilities by leveraging increased computational resources and introducing algorithmic optimization mechanisms during post-training...overall performance is now approaching that of leading models, such as O3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro.”

Beyond just seeing what they’re capable of in the hands of a skilled producer, Joanna also digs into how much all this would’ve cost (about $1,000), and shows off a few of the misfires created by the generators.

Now, Axios reports there have been changes. Connor Hayes is leading the AI products team responsible for AI features in Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, as well as the Meta AI Assistant and AI Studio, while Ahmad Al-Dahle and Amir Frenkel co-lead the AGI Foundations unit working on Llama models and other AI tech.

As noted by Space.com, this mission ran into issues trying to achieve several goals: the reused Super Heavy booster rocket broke up about six minutes into the flight instead of splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico, they were unable to test deploying eight Starlink satellite dummies, and then the ship lost control about a half-hour after launch due to a leak in its fuel tank systems.

Soon we’ll find out if the extra precaution is necessary for this flight. (Update: It launched, but experienced another rapid unscheduled disassembly.)

TechCrunch notes that chief product officer Mike Krieger confirmed the rumored feature was on the way in a recent interview, while Anthropic says that it can integrate with Google Workspace, and that free users can expect “20-30 voice messages” before session limits cut them off, while paid users have higher limits.

Apple went forward with Globalstar (the report also mentions a canceled “Project Eagle” effort with Boeing that would’ve delivered full-blown internet service), and before the iPhone 14 launched, Starlink announced a deal with T-Mobile. Later that year, Musk and Cook met at Apple HQ to discuss Twitter’s App Store presence, “among other things.”

YouTuber Dave2D seems impressed, saying the Steam version has better performance than the Windows version in some games, and better performance in some games than the Steam Deck OLED -- albeit with more wattage required.
