Topic slate for English posts/newsletters: prefer official sources, verifiable claims, engineering-useful angles. Nov 3 GDPx / Magpie / DeepSeek Super-agent / Open Duet / Goldman / Revolut are not reopened.
Today's must-reads¶
-
Weight-Space Programming launch (Daily 1). Research / alignment newsletter lead — “0.016% of weights → MATH 7.9→48.1” travels, but mark the 0.8B ceiling and early-blog status.
-
Hume Audio Decision API + free stealth models (Daily 2, 3). Product/platform double: audio decisions + Pulse/Crouton free ~1M context — infra / eval post.
-
Harmony Harness paper + Anthropic silicon pitch (Daily 5, 4). Self-evolving scaffolding paper (arXiv verified) foiled against “own the silicon” investor story (author-claim) — harness / compute narrative.
