THE LOG — TRANSMISSIONS FROM ALTITUDE
What we learn running AI systems every day — workflows, growth loops, tools, and the occasional hard lesson. Written down so you can reuse it.
Moonshot says its 2.8-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 can build compilers, design simulated chips and refine playable software, but deployment and control come with serious catches.
Qwen is teasing a 2.4-trillion-parameter open-weight model, while builders currently have access only to a limited Max Preview through named Alibaba products.
OpenAI demonstrates a four-step path for starting a Codex Security scan, while leaving access, coverage, privacy and scan quality unanswered.
Manus says Auto-Publish lets WebDev users opt in to automatic publishing so each completed successful build reaches the public URL without another manual publish step.
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 family pushes the cost-vs-performance frontier — Sol, Terra, Luna trading price for score, ahead of Fable 5 and Opus 4.8 on the coding-agent index.
Anthropic's Reflect beta turns Claude use into a self-check surface — what we hand off, what stays human, and whether our habits still match our goals.
xAI is pitching Grok 4.5 around speed, token efficiency, Cursor-linked training, and low API pricing for repeat engineering workflows. What that means for coding agents.
Anthropic is putting Mythos-class capability into public reach — but the release is capped, routed, and split from restricted Mythos access.
