<li><strong>New Claude and GPT models duke it out</strong>: Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 4.6, boasting ‘agent teams’ for parallel task execution and a massive 1 million token context window. It’s designed to tackle complex enterprise workflows and coding, even claiming to outperform GPT-5.2 on some benchmarks. Meanwhile, OpenAI countered with GPT 5.3 Codex, which they say beats Claude Opus 4.6 on Terminal Bench 2.0 and offers real-time steering during execution. Both models are pushing the boundaries for agentic tasks and code review, so pick your poison. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=G7Sre82A1&amp;id=Ijw4mCG7B&amp;id=CZUzCGBQG&amp;id=I2PdjppNx&amp;id=IDVrBk7Fu&amp;id=J2cljSBHP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AWS goes all in on AI infrastructure</strong>: AWS is throwing $200 billion into AI infrastructure in 2026, aiming to double its datacenter capacity by 2027. This massive investment, driven by AI workload adoption, helped them pull in $35.6 billion in Q4 2025 revenue. They’re also pushing their custom Trainium accelerators and Graviton CPUs, which are apparently generating triple-digit growth and offering better price-performance than GPUs. Clearly, they’re all in on owning the AI compute stack. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=1BAlXIloL&amp;id=CZUzCGBQG&amp;id=I2PdjppNx&amp;id=IDVrBk7Fu&amp;id=J2cljSBHP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI data centers cause hardware delays</strong>: Valve’s hardware launches, including the Steam Machine and Steam Frame VR headset, are delayed due to industry-wide memory and storage component shortages. The culprit? Apparently, AI data center demand is driving up RAM prices, which have more than doubled since October 2025. So, while everyone’s building AI, you might have to wait a bit longer for your new gaming gear. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iXYPYa4qJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI bot traffic sparks ‘arms race’</strong>: Apparently, AI bots are now a ‘significant portion’ of web traffic, leading to an ‘arms race’ between publishers and bots. Akamai and TollBit are here to tell us that this dynamic will ‘fundamentally reshape how the Internet functions.’ Because, you know, the internet wasn’t already a chaotic mess of bots and ad blockers. Now it’s just a more expensive chaotic mess. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5O2tzW5oh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Vibe coding is the new prompt engineering</strong>: Some folks are pushing ‘Vibe Coding’ as the ‘evolution of prompt engineering,’ where AI agents autonomously operate within predefined frameworks. It’s all about developers writing specs and AI implementing them, shifting focus from coding to ‘business requirements and architecture.’ So, basically, it’s just spec-driven development with a new, vaguely spiritual name and an AI doing the grunt work. Groundbreaking. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/wypgtlifg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI ‘time horizon plot’ is misunderstood</strong>: The ‘time horizon plot’ for AI progress is being ‘widely misunderstood,’ according to some experts. It measures human task completion time, not AI operational independence, and is based mostly on coding tasks with ‘substantial error bars.’ So, when Claude Opus 4.5 achieved a five-hour time horizon, it didn’t mean it could replace five hours of human work. It just meant it could do some coding tasks in a specific benchmark. Don’t worry, the ‘AI doomsayers and boosters’ will still find a way to misinterpret it. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=CZUzCGBQG&amp;id=I2PdjppNx&amp;id=IDVrBk7Fu&amp;id=J2cljSBHP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
