<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Minimax M2.5 AI model is cheaper and better, they say</strong>: Minimax launched its M2.5 frontier AI model, claiming it’s over 90% cheaper than Claude Opus or GPT-5 models while achieving competitive performance. OpenHands, a benchmark, even crowned it the top open model for coding tasks. Because nothing says ‘innovation’ like a new AI model that’s supposedly cheaper and better than everything else, according to its own marketing and a single benchmark. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/VQt2ETdNG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI goes all-in on speed with new coding model and Cerebras deal</strong>: OpenAI released GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, a coding model running on Cerebras CS3 accelerators, boasting over 1,000 tokens per second. They’ve also signed a $10 billion contract with Cerebras for 750 megawatts of silicon. So, OpenAI is now prioritizing speed over depth, and spending billions on specialized hardware, all while charging ChatGPT Pro users $200/month. Because who needs deep understanding when you can just generate code really, really fast? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2DKu3o06c&amp;id=2G5oHg0oJ&amp;id=A9s0KznyU&amp;id=CacFMCP2L&amp;id=PFJ429xnc&amp;id=TgVTzT7ZG&amp;id=dqsxZt8l5&amp;id=f8bwmVFOm&amp;id=iVwXrkdSj&amp;id=yYXkpJGbb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Auth0 updates B2B plans, calls it developer-driven</strong>: Auth0 announced three pricing plan updates, including a free plan with one Enterprise Connection for POCs and M2M token add-ons for B2B Essentials. Auth0 claims these changes are based on developer feedback to enhance flexibility and scalability. Because nothing says ‘listening to developers’ like tweaking pricing tiers and adding features that probably should have been there from the start, all while framing it as a major win for the community. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/UzL5CQ1eX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
