Hand-picked News
The UK just flipped the switch on a machine that can crunch in one second what would take the entire human race 80 years.
Isambard-AI delivers 23 exaflops of compute power, making it the UK’s fastest and 11th globally
Built in under 2 years with 5,448 NVIDIA GH200 Superchips and zero-carbon electricity
Already powering breakthroughs in cancer detection, dementia care, and climate modeling
Named after legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, this £225M supercomputer is housed in a modular, low-carbon data center in Bristol. It’s also the 4th greenest system on Earth.
✅ This isn’t just a flex - it’s infrastructure. Isambard-AI puts the UK back in the global AI race, giving researchers and startups the horsepower to build sovereign models, accelerate drug discovery, and rethink public services.
Quick tip: Applications are open - if you’re building in AI, this might be your shot to run models at scale.
OpenAI’s new agent doesn’t just answer questions—it books meetings, builds slide decks, and runs code like a digital intern on steroids.
ChatGPT Agent can now take real actions, not just chat—think calendar updates, spreadsheet edits, and competitor analysis
It merges tools like Operator and Deep Research into one seamless system
Scores state-of-the-art results on tough benchmarks like FrontierMath and Humanity’s Last Exam
This upgrade turns ChatGPT into a true task-doer, not just a task-helper. Available now for Pro, Plus, and Team users via “agent mode,” it’s OpenAI’s boldest move yet toward autonomous AI.
✅ This is the closest we’ve come to delegating real work to AI—without losing control. You prompt, it executes. You steer, it adapts.
Quick tip: If you’re building in AI, now’s the time to explore agent workflows. The productivity leap is real.
The livestream giant is finally catching up to how we actually watch content: full-screen, thumb-scrollable, and mobile-first.
Vertical theater mode is now live for select streamers, with a toggle to switch back to classic view
Twitch’s new format mimics TikTok and Reels but keeps its live, interactive vibe
Early tests include camera/mic permissions and UI tweaks for smoother mobile streaming
Twitch announced the shift at TwitchCon earlier this year, and alpha testing is now underway. Only a few streamers are in so far, but a wider rollout is expected later this year.
👀 This is Twitch’s boldest move yet to stay relevant in a short-form world. If it nails the mobile experience, it could unlock a whole new wave of creators and viewers.
Quick tip: If you’re a streamer, start prepping your vertical setup now—this format could be your next growth hack.
