The large companies I’ve worked at (including FAANG) seemed to thrive on kudos via performative actions. Like the majority of the team is doing useless stuff that management thinks is impressive while the couple all stars get the team closer to the goal. Meanwhile, a lot of managers calendars are purely just 1:1s with devs on the team which clearly has very little value add to the team. Anyone else notice this? Not sure if there’s a word for it, but it’s somewhat demoralising working with a bunc

Insta360 has launched its first gimbal camera, the $770 Luna Ultra.

Following months of teases, leaks, a secretive debut at NAB 2026, and an initial launch in China, Insta360 finally announced global availability for its first handheld stabilized camera. The Luna Ultra features a pair of 8K cameras atop a 3-axis gimbal, offering an upgrade to DJI's Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P, which both max […]

Anthropic's strongest model is free until June 22 — and two more shifts for builders Three things landed for builders at once: the best model got cheaper (free, actually), free inference showed up on Apple's stack, and one still photo now becomes a talking video. Two of them you can act on right now. Here's the 90-second video version if you want the quick pass first: 1. Claude Fable 5 is public — and free on your plan until June 22 Anthropic released Claude Fable 5 , the first publicly available version of its Mythos-class model. It's state-of-the-art on nearly every benchmark Anthropic tests — software engineering, knowledge work, vision, and scientific research. It's free on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans through June 22 ; after that it's 10 dollars per million input tokens and 50 per million output . In high-risk areas (cyber, bio, chem) it refuses and falls back to Claude Opus 4.8 — about 95% of Fable sessions run entirely on Fable. This dropped just days after Anthropic publicly warned that AI was getting too dangerous. Why it matters: the strongest Claude is free to try on your existing plan for a two-week window. Run your hardest real task on it now and benchmark it before June 22 — the kind of jump that's worth re-checking your evals against. 2. Apple made its Foundation Models free for small developers At WWDC 2026 , Apple gave developers in the App Store Small Business Program (apps under 2 million first-time downloads ) free access to the next generation of Apple Foundation Models running on Private Cloud Compute — removing inference cost as a barrier. The Foundation Models framework now supports image input . A single Swift API can also call third-party models like Claude and Gemini, server-side. A new Dynamic Profiles system supports multi-agent workflows, and Apple will open-source the framework later this summer. Why it matters: you can ship AI features into an app without an inference bill. Prototype on Apple's free on-device models, and route
