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.
Microsoft has introduced a local edition of MAI-Code-1.1-Flash that runs on Windows PCs without server access. The model requires substantial memory and is coming to GitHub Copilot in experimental preview by the end of October, starting with Nvidia RTX Spark PCs.
At its Windows and Surface event, Microsoft opened preorders for the $2,599 Surface Laptop Ultra and the $5,999 Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, and said Copilot will be able to use files and act across Windows in the coming months.
Microsoft says Copilot on Copilot+ PCs will be able to use files and recent activity on your PC, take actions across Windows, and tap local AI models, with your permission. The features are expected to start rolling out in the coming months.
