Anthropic beats OpenAI (and Foxconn gets wrecked)

NEXUS is a multi-agent LLM framework for time series forecasting that separates macro and micro temporal analysis before synthesis. Testing on 2025 data beyond model training cutoffs, it matches or beats specialized Time Series Foundation Models while providing explainable reasoning.

OpenAI is bringing its Codex desktop AI coding tool to ChatGPT mobile apps on iOS and Android, allowing remote control and management from phones. The move is part of OpenAI's effort to compete with Anthropic's Claude Code and advance its desktop superapp strategy.

Normalizing Trajectory Models (NTM) achieve competitive text-to-image generation in just four steps while maintaining exact likelihood training, addressing a key limitation of existing few-step diffusion methods that sacrifice the likelihood framework through distillation or adversarial approaches.
