Open Weights Took the Tokens. Closed Models Kept the Bill

Interconnects puts OpenRouter open-model traffic near 80T tokens a week. Vercel's Sep 17 index still gives closed models 86% of estimated spend. A 9B longevity model beat Gemini 3.1-Pro on a bench.

LLM Context Windows in 2026: What Actually Changed and Why It Matters

Context windows have grown from 4K tokens to millions, but bigger is not always better. Here is what changed in 2026 and how it affects real-world LLM usage.

8 Myths About AI Coding Tools That New Research Just Killed

A new paper finds 80% of developers use AI tools but only 29% trust them. Here are the eight assumptions the research says are wrong, and what actually matters.

What Is an LLM, Really? The 'Machine Experientialism' Framework That Could End the Biggest Debate in AI

A new Nature paper argues our entire understanding of LLMs is built on flawed human metaphors — and proposes a radical alternative called machine experientialism that reframes how we think about AI cognition.

LLMs Can Think Too Much — And It's Making Them Wrong

The AI field spent two years proving that longer reasoning chains produce better answers. Now a wave of new research shows the opposite: beyond a certain point, more 'thinking' actively degrades performance. The overthinking problem is real, measurable, and it's forcing a rethink of how we deploy reasoning models.

Meta's Brain2Qwerty v2 Reads Thoughts Without Surgery — And It's Getting Scarily Good

Meta's FAIR lab just released Brain2Qwerty v2, a non-invasive brain-to-text system that decodes typed sentences from MEG signals with 78% accuracy in its best subjects. Here's how it works and why it matters for the future of AI and human communication.

The Inference-Time Revolution: How Test-Time Compute Scaling Is Rewriting the Rules of LLM Intelligence

Pre-training scale isn't the only lever anymore. Test-time compute scaling lets models think longer at inference — and the results are reshaping how we measure AI capability.

General-Purpose LLMs Are Outperforming Specialized AI Tools — What That Means for Enterprise AI

A landmark Nature Medicine study shows general-purpose LLMs like Gemini and GPT now beat dedicated clinical AI tools on medical benchmarks. The pattern extends beyond healthcare — and it should reshape how companies think about building versus buying AI capabilities.
