OPENAI 🔥: A close look into an upcoming Work Louder's Codex Micro.

> Monitor the status of your Codex agents in a satisfyingly new tactile way.

> Your new AI agent controller.

> 6 RGB agent status keys, customizable command keys via the Input software, and 6 programmable layers with app-based auto-switching. h/t x@btibor91

This controller needs a Reset button too 👀

OpenAI prepares Codex Micro keypad to control AI Agents

OpenAI launched Codex Micro, a Work Louder keypad built for Codex. Its 6 RGB Agent Keys show thread status in real time, while remappable controls and app layers would support coding workflows beyond Codex.

Kivine, a new model on Arena, is potentially an upcoming Kimi K3 model.

I got lucky and caught a comparison between Fable 5 and Kimi K3 in the Universe simulation prompt.

> Fable 5 finished faster, and most UX components were more robust and easy to use.

> Kimi K3 was much more complex and visually appealing. At some point, if you select a planet and set the speed to x100, it will spin you around in the 1st-person pov.

It seems like they are very close 👀

OPENAI 🔥: Codex Micro is now officially available on the OpenAI Supply website for $230!

> Designed with Work Louder, the kbd-1.0-codex-micro brings your agent workspace into reach. Keep active chats close, spot what every agent is doing through live RGB feedback, and map your most-used Codex actions to tactile controls built for the way you actually ship.

The device is available in two options: Silent and Clicky!

Thinking Machines released Inkling, an open-weight model, available on a new Inkling Playground in the Tinker console.

> Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 975B total parameters and 41B active parameters.

> It supports a context window of up to 1M tokens.

> Inkling scored 1257 points on Design Arena’s Agentic Web Dev leaderboard (GPT-5.6-Sol got 1260).

SPACEXAI 🔥: Grok Build is now open-source!

The code is available on Github. Additionally, Grok Build usage limits have been reset for all users.

That's a move 🤖

Thinking Machines debuts open-weight Inkling AI model

Thinking Machines Lab released Inkling, an open-weights multimodal MoE model with 975B parameters, 1M-token context, and tunable reasoning. It supports customization, broad deployment options, and strong coding, reasoning, vision, and audio results.

Kimi K3 has been teased officially 👀

Artifacts on Claude Code can now connect to MCPs to pull necessary data in real time. A similar capability was earlier introduced for Cowork Artifacts as well.

> Available on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Not available on publicly shared artifacts.

Early look at Kimi K3 generations from Moonshot AI on Arena

Moonshot AI appears close to launching Kimi K3, with leaks, teasers, and test sightings pointing to an imminent debut. Early reports suggest frontier-level performance, strong 3D and coding output, but slower runtimes on complex tasks.

🗞 #kimi @testingcatalog

BREAKING 🔥: Kimi K3 is now available on the web and APIs! Both K3 Max and K3 Swarm Max options are available to users.

> Supports up to 1M context tokens. Optimized for coding, 3D gaming, and complex knowledge tasks. See documentation for details and usage instructions.

Kimi K3 benchmarks ended up super strong in many areas, and it performs on par with proprietary models from leading labs in the US.

Open weights for this model are expected to land on July 27.

The testing time has come 👀

GOOGLE 🔥: NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook!

Google also announced that integration with Gemini Notebooks is coming to Google Search soon.

Besides that, Collections (Folders) are coming soon, too!
