BUILT BY CURSOR. BUILT _ON_ BUILDKITE. (SPONSOR) [4]
Devs finally have a challenger to GitHub code hosting with Origin.
Origin was built _on_ Buildkite.
Buildkite is a launch partner for this new code ecosystem. Origin
holds the code. Buildkite runs the build. Vercel ships it. Three
layers, one path from idea to production.
We also run CI for OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, xAI, Airbnb, Nvidia,
Canva, Uber, Meta, Pierre, Bun and more.
Build faster, more securely, more reliably, with the CI engineered for
frontier scale, used by the frontier labs setting the pace.

INTRODUCING THE AGENTS API (5 MINUTE READ) [6]
OpenAI's Agents API is now in public beta. The API brings the same
harness and infrastructure that powers Codex to developers through a
simple and flexible API. It allows developers to create useful agents
with a powerful harness that manages context, uses tools efficiently,
and coordinates subagents. The API provides infrastructure to keep
agents running reliably for days, and environments where agents can
work with files, run code, and save intermediate results.
ANTHROPIC SAYS IT BLOCKED POSSIBLE EFFORTS TO BUILD BIOLOGICAL
WEAPONS (6 MINUTE READ) [7]
Anthropic claims it has disrupted several plots to use its AI models
to conduct research that could have helped develop biological weapons.
The company says it still can't determine whether a query serves a
legitimate or nefarious purpose, so it erred on the side of caution as
the consequences of mistakes could be severe. Anthropic detected use
from companies from blocked regions and parties that otherwise tried
to obfuscate their purpose.

THE KING OF UNITREE (28 MINUTE READ) [8]
Unitree CEO Wang Xingxing recently unveiled details about his
company's IPO in an interview that covers his business principles,
Unitree's managerial structure, and how the company is changing its
employees' lives. Unitree listed on the STAR Market on August 19, with
its market capitalization briefly reaching 440 billion yuan after its
IPO. Wang was briefly the richest person in China born in the 1990s.
WILL AI SOON LEAD TO DOUBLE-DIGIT GROWTH? (38 MINUTE READ) [9]
Analysts predict that AI will soon deliver double-digit growth in
advanced economies. Experts say it could push growth to something like
10% to 15% per year. The decade ahead could see economic growth of 30%
per year and beyond. Predictions of double-digit growth are common
among AI insiders.

TECH COMPANIES MOVE TO OPEN AI MODELS (8 MINUTE READ) [11]
Companies are experimenting with cheaper open models on inference
providers. There is a trend toward more investment in model routing to
route simpler requests to cheaper models. The industry is seeing more knowledge-sharing sessions on how to use AI models cost-effectively.
More and more companies are setting per-developer limits on AI usage.
THE LIFECYCLE OF A SHARDED POSTGRES QUERY (23 MINUTE READ) [12]
This post follows the journey of a PostgreSQL query through all of
the layers of a complex sharded system. It aims to help readers
understand what goes into making a large-scale sharded PostgreSQL
deployment appear to be a single server even when spanning thousands
of servers. A real database has hundreds of tables - the example in
the post keeps the schema simple with two tables spread across four
shards.

OPENAI DID IT AGAIN. BUT WHAT DID THEY DO? (3 MINUTE READ) [13]
The 'next thing' is always simpler than you think and very obvious in hindsight. OpenAI's addition of Computer Use is deceptively simple and
obvious in hindsight. 'Computer use' is a very generic, unspecified
thing. It requires general intelligence across many domains to get
better at it.
ROUTER POWER (14 MINUTE READ) [14]
Centralized router platforms can offer customers better economics
than local deployments. Outcomes pricing belongs to the infrastructure
layer. The model layer could offer outcomes pricing, but it will have
the same problems as the app layer. Router layer pricing is most
politically aligned with customers, who just want to sell more compute
and don't care which model is used.
