📄 Andrej Karpathy skills repo hits 36K stars in 2 days with 65-line file

The GitHub repo andrej-karpathy-skills reached 36K stars in two days. It contains a single CLAUDE.md file with 65 lines describing one agent skill.

The file encodes four rules from Andrej Karpathy’s post: think and ask before coding, simplify solutions, change only what is requested, and work toward a clear goal.

Users report cleaner PRs, fewer unnecessary diffs, and better instruction following after adding the file.

👨‍🔧 NVIDIA releases open AI models for quantum computing

NVIDIA introduced the Ising family of models, targeting calibration and error correction in quantum systems. The models are open and already available for local use.

Ising Decoding runs 2.5x faster and delivers 3x higher accuracy than pyMatching, the current standard. Ising Calibration reduces calibration time from days to hours.

The models integrate with CUDA-Q and NVQLink, and are available on Hugging Face.

🤖 Gemini Launches Native macOS App

Google has released a native Gemini application for macOS, allowing users to summon the assistant with the Option + Space shortcut over any task.

The app can analyze screen content, handle files, and quickly answer questions without switching tabs. It also supports image and video generation.

Gemini is now globally available for users running macOS 15 and later versions.

😺 Codex expands from coding tool into full AI workspace

OpenAI is pushing Codex far beyond code. The new pitch is simple: one tool for much more than engineering.

🔸 Computer use on your own machine, at least on Mac for now
🔸 Built-in browser
🔸 Image generation
🔸 Deep integrations
🔸 Artifacts inside the app, including tables
🔸 Native automations

This looks like OpenAI’s answer to Claude Code Epitaxy.

🤖 Google releases Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS with fine voice control

Google introduced Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS, a new speech model in the Gemini stack focused on controllable voice generation.

The model allows precise control over tone, pace, stress, and overall style using text tags. It also supports multi-speaker output while preserving each voice’s characteristics, making it usable for longer-form content.

Latency improved by tens of percent, including faster first-token response, bringing it closer to real-time use cases.

🍏 Apple rumored to build Mac Neo

Apple is reportedly working on a budget desktop called Mac Neo, priced around $300. The move follows Mac mini shortages and strong demand for lower-cost devices.

The device is expected to run on the A19 Pro chip from iPhone 17 Pro. Form factor is similar to Apple TV 4K, with 12GB RAM, USB-C ports, and about 35W power usage.

It is aimed at basic tasks like browsing, documents, and streaming, not heavy workloads where M-series chips dominate.

🤖 Anthropic launches Claude Design for UI, slides, and prototypes

Anthropic introduced Claude Design, a built-in studio inside Claude for creating presentations, interfaces, and layouts. The tool runs on Claude Opus 4.7 and generates a first version from a text prompt.

Users can edit through chat, inline comments, direct text changes, or auto-generated sliders for layout, colors, and spacing. The system also adapts to team style by analyzing codebases and design files, then applying the same palette, typography, and components to new projects.

Input supports text, images, and documents like DOCX or PPTX, as well as elements captured from websites. Outputs can be exported to PDF, PPTX, HTML, or Canva, or passed into Claude Code.

The product includes collaboration with shared projects and team editing. It is available in research preview for paid users.

🤖 Claude Opus 4.7 draws criticism over tokens and weaker reasoning

Users on X report higher token usage and lower output quality in Opus 4.7. Arena rankings now reflect a drop in performance on harder prompts.

The model appears tuned toward code generation. At the same time, it shows weaker results in complex reasoning and business context understanding.

🧠 Indian factory films workers’ POV to train AI on manual tasks

A video from an Indian sewing factory went viral showing workers wearing head-mounted cameras that record their work from a first-person view.

The footage captures every step of the process to create training data for AI systems. The idea is to teach models how manual tasks are actually performed in real conditions.

🤖 Honor humanoid beats human half marathon record with 50:26 finish

A humanoid robot from Honor ran 21 km in 50 minutes 26 seconds, beating the previous human record by about 6 minutes.

The robot even crashed into a barrier near the finish but got up and completed the race.

🪳War just got smaller: cyborg cockroaches are here

German startup SWARM Biotactics is building insect-scale surveillance tools by equipping real cockroaches with tiny backpacks packed with neural interfaces, sensors, and communication modules.

These insects can be guided by electrical signals or operate in semi-autonomous swarms, moving through environments where traditional robots fail, like rubble, tight spaces, or high-risk zones.

🚀 Blue Origin reuses New Glenn booster for the first time

Blue Origin launched its New Glenn rocket with a previously flown booster. The stage landed on a platform in the Atlantic about 6 minutes after liftoff.

New Glenn is a heavy-lift rocket designed to carry large payloads to orbit. This was its first reuse attempt.

The mission itself failed. The rocket did not deliver the satellite for direct-to-smartphone communication to the target orbit.

🤩 Karpathy reframes education in the AGI era

“Pre-AGI education is useful. Post-AGI education is fun.”

For most of history, learning was tied to survival. You study to work. You work to live.

AGI breaks that link.

Karpathy compares it to physical strength. We no longer need it to survive, yet people still go to the gym. Not out of necessity, but by choice.

Same idea for the mind.

If AI takes over analysis and knowledge work, people won’t stop learning. The reason just changes. From earning to interest.

Curiosity doesn’t disappear when pressure is gone. It becomes the main driver.
