OpenAI has announced an 80% price reduction for its GPT-5.6 Luna model. This move is part of a broader trend of recursive self-improvement (RSI) where AI models are used to optimize their own performance and cost efficiency. The price cut allows tasks to be solved for approximately 7 cents, compared to the previous cost, making advanced AI capabilities more accessible.

llama.cpp b11193 adds Snapdragon Hexagon and ROCm 10
This release quietly expands llama.cpp's hardware support to include Qualcomm's Hexagon NPU on Linux arm64, a significant step for local inference on Snapdragon devices. It also updates CUDA builds to version 13.4 and introduces ROCm 10.0 binaries, keeping the project aligned with the latest NVIDIA and AMD driver ecosystems. KleidiAI on Apple Silicon is temporarily disabled in this build, likely due to stability checks rather than a feature rollback. For developers targeting edge AI or diverse GPU stacks, this update ensures broader compatibility without requiring custom compilation.
