Stateless MCP has recaptured my interest (and inspired mcp-explorer and datasette-mcp) 31st July 2026 Tuesday was Stateless MCP day—the rollout of MCP 2.0, or the 2026-07-28 Model Context Protocol specification to use the more formal but less memorable name. This is the most significant change to the MCP spec since it first launched, and has…
TL:DR Learn how Meta’s FBTriton infrastructure powers custom GPU compiler innovations like TLX and autoWS while staying synced with upstream Triton using agentic ingestion and a stratified L1/L2/L3 validation framework. Introduction of fbtriton Triton is a foundational element of our AI hardware acceleration strategy. While Triton is developed and maintained by OpenAI, the upstream repository…
What You Should Know According to the J.D. Power 2026 U.S. Pharmacy Study, overall mail-order pharmacy satisfaction rose 2 points year-over-year to 699 (on a 1,000-point scale), while brick-and-mortar satisfaction dropped 7 points to 669. The divergence is driven by weakening consumer trust and perceived value in physical retail stores, whereas mail-order growth is fueled…
OpenAI Group PBC today launched a program that will give 100,000 researchers free access to ChatGPT’s advanced features. ChatGPT for Academic Researchers is part of a $250 million OpenAI initiative designed to support scientific projects. The initiative also includes several other programs. Last May, OpenAI made $50 million worth of artificial intelligence resources available to…
How to use a Raspberry Pi, a phone camera, and a Roboflow classification model to know when a pool needs a refill. Follow along and build one in a weekend. My colleague Michael keeps posting demos of Roboflow running at the edge on a Raspberry Pi. Every time one showed up in my feed I…
For robots to assist humans in everyday environments, accurate spatial reasoning is not enough. Robots must also think fast, timing their decisions and reasoning with the real-time speed of the physical world. That’s why today we’re launching Gemini Robotics ER 2, our most capable “embodied reasoning” model for robotics. Think of Gemini Robotics ER 2…

Most multimodal AI models today work in turns. You feed them a video, wait for them to process it, and then get a response. While this works well for traditional chatbots, it does not reflect how humans naturally interact with the world. We listen while we speak. We react to things as they are still…
Aviation learned this the hard way. For most of the industry’s history, the number that best predicted whether an airline would survive was how much of the day each aircraft spent on the ground. The reason is structural. An aircraft’s costs accrue by the calendar hour: financing, depreciation, hull insurance, scheduled maintenance, crew contracts. Its…
