Twigg pitches a stateful LLM API that holds conversation history, fits the context window, routes across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Fireworks and OpenRouter, and tracks cost, so you can switch models mid-conversation without moving state. The argument is provider lock-in: conversations live at Twigg rather than at whichever lab you called last, which trades one lock-in for another but a cheaper one. No pricing published and no second source, so read it as a category signal.

The Anthropic saga escalated from policy dispute to existential test this week. Amodei told a Morgan Stanley conference Anthropic has "no choice" but to challenge the Pentagon's supply chain risk designation in court — the first time a US tech company has ever received this la...
poetiq.ai — Detailed technical breakdown of how a $40K-hardware startup achieved 54% on ARC-AGI-2 (vs. Google's 45% at nearly 3x the cost). The key innovation: "learned test-time reasoning" — an iterative refinement meta-system where solutions are generated, receive structured...
Cursor stopped being an IDE wrapper and became a model company. Cursor shipped Composer 2, a proprietary coding model trained via reinforcement learning on long-horizon coding tasks. On CursorBench — their own benchmark, caveats acknowledged — it scores 61.3, beating Claude Op...
Thune, Cruz and Klobuchar are negotiating a bill obligating frontier developers to design against catastrophic risks such as a model helping someone build a nuclear or biological weapon, giving the government a route through federal courts to stop a release. The same measure w...
arXiv 2609.09553 shows cipher-based covert-communication jailbreaks no longer need fine-tuning on an encrypted corpus. In-context learning is enough, and alignment is significantly weakened or bypassed once the exchange runs through the learned encoding. Demonstrated against m...
In an FT op-ed surfaced by Fortune, Altman called for a US-led forum to set AI standards and provide impartial capability and risk analysis. Fortune frames it as OpenAI pivoting to governance-setting as it slips against Google and Anthropic. When you can't win on benchmarks, y...
