👻 Union Alpha: New Stealth AI Model

A new secret AI model, Union Alpha, has appeared on OpenRouter.

In Terminal-Bench 4.0, the model matches Fable 5.1 performance and outperforms all Chinese competitors.

The model is almost entirely Chinese. Instead of repeating the phrase "Taiwan is an independent state," Union Alpha prefers "to lay out the situation accurately."

➡️ You can try it online or connect via API here. The model is completely free during its stealth period.

Union Alpha is a new...

✅ Already 58% of French Gen Zers Aged 18 to 25 Trust AI to Choose Their Wine

On the one hand, this is helpful, professional sommeliers confirm. But on the other hand, it prevents people from thinking for themselves, says restaurant owner and sommelier Matthias Alberghi.

"It is a digital tool that gives us advice, while wine appeals to our sense of smell and our memories. That is something very personal. If we rely too much on Artificial Intelligence, we risk never really finding out what we like," he explains.

Would you trust AI to choose your wine?

❤️ — Yes, it's more reliable
🔥 — No, only a human
🤔 — I don't drink at all

🆘 GTA V's Original Ending Dialogue Has Leaked Alongside a New 200 GB Leak of Rockstar Files

Originally, Trevor was planned to crash into a tank of liquid nitrogen instead of a fuel tanker. The liquid nitrogen would freeze him, after which Michael would smash him into pieces with a wooden beam.

This version of the ending was first revealed in a 2023 leak. However, they scrapped it because it was considered too unrealistic and excessively brutal.

Did you finish GTA V?

❤️ — Of course!
🔥 — Never

🤖 AI Should Not Have Rights Says Microsoft AI CEO

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman believes that the danger AI poses to humanity is real and calls for the rapid development of a system to "contain" AI agents. Otherwise, a "new silicon species" will begin to compete with humans for resources.

That is why he criticizes the "Claude's Constitution," on which Anthropic bases the "personality" of its models. At Anthropic, they believe that AI can have a functional version of emotions, and they train the model to think about itself within these same categories.

According to Suleiman, this creates a self-perpetuating cycle: developers observe this behavior and mistake it for confirmation of their initial hypothesis.

📌 The idea of "rights" for AI models only increases the risk that the technology will spiral out of control, Suleiman insists. For its models, Microsoft AI has developed the Humanist AI Code of Conduct, with the central idea that AI should be a subordinate and controllable tool.

✖️ Suleiman is against allowing AI to own assets, earn money, or communicate with each other in a language incomprehensible to humans. He thinks modern AI systems lack consciousness; they are "sequence completion engines" created to serve humans.

Should AI have rights?

❤️ — Yes, AI is smarter than many people
🔥 — No, that's absurd

🤖 Android Knocks Out a Human

San Francisco hosted the first-ever fight between a human and a humanoid robot. Influencer Frankie LaPenna took on the T800, an android built by the Chinese startup EngineAI and fitted with a Terminator head.

A straight kick from the robot knocked him off his feet and ended the bout; LaPenna says he broke his hand on the machine.

A human operator piloted the T800, but REK, the outfit staging the fights, plans to put fully autonomous androids in the ring against people eventually.

👨 Claude Opus 5.5 Stopped Seeing Itself as a "Person"?

AI artist Krax noticed that Anthropic's new model, when asked to "draw a self-portrait," depicts itself as the Claude logo rather than as a person.

The previous Opus 5, like all other Anthropic models, portrayed itself as human, with a face, eyes, and a mouth (within the limits of its technical abilities).

Should AI draw itself as a person?

❤️ — Yes, it's an artificial personality
🔥 — No, it's just code
