Cognition, the AI startup behind the Devin coding agent, has reached a $445M annual revenue run rate in its first 18 months of operation. CEO Scott Wu, whose background includes competitive mathematics, discusses the company's rapid growth and AI development strategy.
Thinking Machines, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, announced it is developing "interaction models" designed to enable natural human-AI collaboration through simultaneous audio, video, and text processing.
Agentic inference differs fundamentally from today's language model inference, shifting computational priorities away from speed since human latency constraints no longer apply.
Baidu's new Ernie 5.1 model achieves competitive performance with just six percent of typical pre-training costs by using a third fewer parameters than its predecessor. The model ranks fourth globally on Search Arena leaderboards, behind Claude Opus variants and GPT-5.5 Search.
