Google’s New AI Agent Writes Like a HumanAnd That’s Terrifying
The Death of Linear Research 🧠 Google just dropped TTD-DR, an AI research agent that doesn’t just regurgitate search results—it iterates like a human. No more rigid, one-shot answers. This thing drafts, revises, and fact-checks like a sleep-deprived grad student on their fifth coffee. And somehow, it’s better than OpenAI’s Deep Research. Of course, Google being Google, they had to shove in...
OpenAI Goes Open-Source: Desperation or Genius?

Cohere’s New Vision Model Eats GPT-4 for Breakfast On a Budget
Move over, overpriced GPUs—this 112B-parameter beast runs on two.
