#2
signal
LLMs can now reliably automate parts of formal math research, moving AI from assistant to active research contributor.

GPT-5.6 Recursive Self-Optimization Cuts GPT-5.4-Level Intelligence Cost 13x in 4 Months
Operators repricing AI products must recalibrate margins immediately. Distillation-driven cost collapse resets competitive baselines; anyone not benchmarking against GPT-5.6 pricing is already behind.

AirLLM Enables 70B Model Inference on a Single 4GB GPU
AI operators running edge or low-budget deployments can now run 70B models without multi-GPU infra. Test AirLLM against current serving stacks before next hardware procurement cycle.
