Anthropic once considered Claude Fable too dangerous to release. Now China’s Moonshot AI has launched Kimi K3.1 Pro, which beats Fable on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. And unlike Fable, you’ll be able to download Kimi K3.1 Pro and run it yourself. So much for pacing the frontier.

Day 1 of MQ Summit 2026, done. AWS, IBM and Microsoft on MCP over AMQP, the MQTT committee on what's next, a two-part queues vs. logs debate, and messaging at sea. Thank you to today's speakers 🧵 #MQSummit #Messaging

We have two counteracting big trends: Energy production decentralization and AI compute centralization. Farmers have figured out that standing up wind generators in their towns and covering their roofs with solar panels is good for the town and for them. The gov't does not need to tell them.

Das hat nicht gereicht. Das reicht nicht. Das wird nicht reichen. Ich bin normalerweise sehr optimistisch, aber im Moment sehe ich nicht, wie wir mit dieser Besetzung die Klasse halten.

I've struggled for years in how to effectively do my job covering Starlink's impact on the inflight connectivity world against the backdrop of Musk's behavior. That keeps getting harder.

Nobody at SpaceX with an ounce of self-awareness can be surprised to see the EU prioritizing tech sovereignty when Elon Musk can't resist treating Starlink as an instrument of his personal foreign policy.

I do indeed believe that AI will drive decentralization more than any other technology before (long story), but it’s not going to come to your refrigerator any time soon and surely not in a viral, sneaky Gremlins way to the one you’ve got now.

Yes, this is a hack and they got something running, but sneaking a Bitcoin miner on the same devices is likely more useful. And you might know how I think about Bitcoin.

Karl Lagerfeld might also have asked his models under such circumstances.
