Meta has revived its discontinued Facebook Creator Studio as a standalone AI companion app centered on an AI Creator Assistant that provides performance insights, growth recommendations, and automated comment replies. The app is currently in testing with select creators via a waitlist, more than two years after the original platform was shuttered in favor of Business Suite.
Users can also query it to identify the most important audience comments and instantly draft replies in their own voice.
The app’s ability to draft replies to comments has drawn a skeptical reaction, which noted that using an AI chatbot to respond to all audience comments undercuts the idea of genuine community interaction.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.
Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.
Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5, its cheapest and fastest small model, at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 100,000 tokens. Anthropic says it costs around 75% less to run than Haiku 4.5 on average and scores far higher on its benchmarks.
OpenAI released 722 mathematical manuscripts, grouped into 372 result families, produced by an unreleased internal model. The papers are on GitHub, with Lean formalizations for many but not all of them, and OpenAI warns some unformalized results could have issues.
