    We’re renaming our Max plans: Max 5x → Max Max 20x → Ultra Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do. We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers. Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed. Weekly limits remain unchanged.

    ModelBest ForgeKernel Surpasses DeepSeek FlashMLA by 9.8% in Live Operator-Writing Session and Goes Open Source

    ModelBest's operator generation system ForgeKernel generated DeepSeek-V4.1's FlashMLA Prefill operator from scratch on an NVIDIA B200, running 9.8% faster than the human hand-written version, through 42 rounds of iteration over 22.5 hours and 22 GPU hours, with humans writing not a single line of code. After the live stream ended, the team, together with the OpenBMB community, announced the open-sourcing, and it topped three Ascend CANNBench leaderboards: 950DT, 950PR, and A3. The team and institutions including Tsinghua University published the JustGoal paper on arXiv, stating that when given only optimization goals, the model beat human-maintained open-source libraries on 8 of 10 operators on the B200.

    Subvocal launches glasses for silent mouthing input that can transcribe 200+ words per minute

    Subvocal has launched a pair of glasses that can convert silently mouthed words into text at a speed of over 200 words per minute. The principle is that radar passes from the frame through the face, and based on changes in the reflected signal as each word is silently mouthed, AI decodes it into text; at most, bystanders see only slight mouth movements. The product is now available for pre-order, and the team previously raised $1.3 million in funding from YC and Afore Capital.

    BioComputing Launches mischief 1 Video Model API Based on Neuron Experiments

    BioComputing has launched an image-to-video model API called mischief 1, which applies the way human neurons cultured on chips with about 4,000 electrodes process information to the open-source video model Wan 2.2. The model adds less than 0.1% parameters on top of Wan 2.2, and the company says its quality is on par with Wan 2.2 while being 5 times faster, starting at 0.5 cents per second. It is already available on fal and OpenRouter and will launch on AWS Marketplace. The model itself contains no living cells.

    Quoted postAlex Ksendzovsky · @AlexKsendzovsky

    today, we introduce a little mischief to the world. for four years, we’ve been brewing real brain cells on electrodes to understand how they compute. now, we’ve turned those discoveries into a video model anyone can use. from 0.5¢ a second, mischief 1 is at least 5x faster than its base and the cheapest image-to-video model on @fal and @OpenRouter. soon to be on @awscloud marketplace. it’s not a delusion anymore. biocompute is real, commercial and this is just the beginning. happy halloween.
