🤖 TECH: Researchers at ETH Zurich have built a quadruped robot that can track, predict, and return badminton shuttlecocks against human opponents.

Google Research introduced Gemini-SQL2, a new text-to-SQL system powered by Gemini 3.1 Pro. It converts questions written in everyday language into executable SQL queries, allowing users to retrieve information from databases without manually writing the code. Gemini-SQL2 achieved state-of-the-art performance on the BIRD benchmark, reportedly reaching 80.04% execution accuracy. Unlike evaluations that only check whether generated SQL resembles a reference answer, BIRD runs the query and verifies whether it returns the correct result. The technology could eventually strengthen natural-language access across Google’s data and analytics services.

ByteDance released Seedance 2.0 Mini, a faster and lower-cost version of its Seedance video-generation model. The model can create videos using image, video, and audio references, making it suitable for everyday production workflows. Seedance 2.0 Mini is priced at roughly 50% of Seedance 2.0’s listed cost, offering a more accessible option for creators and teams producing videos at higher volume.

You can now run Kimi K2.7 Code locally! 🌘 We shrank the 1T model to 325GB (-48%) via Dynamic 2-bit where important layers are upcasted. Run at >40 tok/s on 330GB RAM/VRAM setups. Run full precision on 610 GB. Guide: unsloth.ai/docs/models/kimi-… GGUF: huggingface.co/unsloth/Kimi-…

BREAKING: ANTHROPIC IS OFFERING REFUNDS UNTIL JUNE 20TH

We heard you wanted to use Codex rate limit resets on your own time. Starting today, we’re rolling out the ability to save rate limit resets to use later. We’re starting Go, Plus, Pro, and Business users with one free reset:

New for Apple developers: Foundation Models support for Claude lets developers use Apple's Foundation Models framework to call Claude for multi-step reasoning, code generation, and longer context.

Recently, we purchased one of each Anthropic/OpenAI subscription plan and randomly ran long horizon coding tasks until we exhausted the weekly limit. It's widely believed that a $200/month plan maxes out at ~$2000/month worth of tokens (assuming API pricing). However, we found that the subscriptions are actually far more generous. (2/4)

Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: darioamodei.com/post/policy-…
