Last week TypeSafe AI unveiled Jev , their first example of a new category of model that they are calling "System One models" (I'm with Maggie Appleton, I think "decision models" is a better name for these). Jev is an interesting variant on the usual LLM format: it still accepts text inputs, but instead of text output it returns floating point numbers corresponding to categories, yes/no questions, ratings, and associated confidence scores. TypeSafe describe Jev like this: Think of Jev as a frontier-intelligence function call: unstructured state in, typed probabilistic decisions out. It's also very fast, and really cheap . Regular LLMs are priced in terms of input and output tokens, with output generally charged at significantly higher rates. Jev charges only for input - output is free - an

Cloudflare Python Workers are now generally available After a two year preview, Cloudflare's support for running Python code in their server-side Workers platform is now stable: "Python is now a first-class, fully supported language on the Cloudflare Developer Platform". A neat thing about this is how it works. Cloudflare are running Python compiled to WebAssembly via Pyodide in their V8-based workerd runtime. This comes with some limitations, documented here - most notably both multiprocessing and threading are non-functional in the WebAssembly VM. One particularly interesting detail of this is the local development environment story - their pywrangler development tool (confusingly packaged as workers-py on PyPI) runs a full local simulation of their stack, including executing code with P
Mapping MoE models onto inference hardware: structure, flow, and efficient serving
Amazon has its own cohort of foundation models, along with one of the most popular inference platforms on the internet. As long as they're under no legal obligation to open the doors to Muse, why would they?
Meta’s new AI agent Muse has racked up more downloads and daily active users in the U.S. and Canada than ChatGPT did over the same period after its mobile debut, according to new estimates from Appfigures.

Last week, GM announced a new software experience for its upcoming Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, including a new look for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the popular phone mirroring systems that the automaker made a big deal about removing from its electric vehicles in 2023. Naturally, this led to some confusion about whether […]
Newegg is hosting a bundle that includes Microsoft’s wireless Xbox controller (in black) and a $50 digital Xbox gift card together for $80. Given that this model typically sits around $50 to $60 depending on the color you want, this is a fantastic value since it essentially knocks its price down to $30. Another way […]

The author argues that destination resorts should build sales teams from within, identifying guest-facing staff with commercial instinct and developing them through structured apprenticeships rather than costly, high-turnover external hires.
A strategic opinion piece arguing that AI's real value for hotels lies in surfacing hidden demand signals across the guest journey, not just automating tasks, with readiness assessed across leadership, data, team skills, and governance.

Open on X ↗6. I forgot to mention Apple and Siri. They have all the devices and a great reputation on privacy. They can easily win this race but what holds them back imo is their annual release cycle for major updates and not being on @X and all the other platforms seeking user feedback. The iteration speed for Siri (from the outside) just feels far too slow to compete.
Open on X ↗My “armchair” thoughts on the personal agent race: 1. Muse is poised to become the leader. The app is intuitive, and Meta is aggressively promoting it across all its properties. Once you use the Muse app, you realize that it makes little sense for an agent to live in an existing messaging app like iMessage. Unless Meta runs out of compute or something, I think this will become the company’s most successful homegrown app after Facebook. It will be much bigger than Threads. 2. ChatGPT is probably still the personal agent leader because it already has 1B+ users. OpenAI’s models, computer use, and voice are arguably better than Muse feature by feature. But it’s hard to build one product for both work and personal use, and harder still to serve enterprises and consumers with the same UX. Even for work, I started using Grok Bot because the Work/Codex split remains too confusing. I’m sure the team is cooking, and we’ll see something good in the next few weeks. 3. Grok Bot isn’t really a Muse competitor because it’s focused on work. Multiple bots naturally fit team-based knowledge work IMO. My bull case for Grok Bot is that it's a few features away from becoming multiplayer agentic Slack for both bots and humans. 4. Google is obviously the dark horse candidate. All these personal agents live off Gmail, Google Calendar, and your Google app's data. Google has their own personal agent in Spark but the last I checked it's a secondary tab in Gemini. I think Google needs to be far more aggressive in making Spark the primary experience and making it intuitive and competitive with Muse. Google however doesn't have a great track record in multiplayer AI... 5. Speaking of multiplayer, nobody has figured this out yet. I can’t easily add my spouse to a Muse chat to plan a vacation. I also can’t loop coworkers into ChatGPT or Grok Bot threads. Multiplayer AI today mostly means tagging bots in Slack. Every major provider is probably working on this, and I think it will be the next big unlock. My personal AI stack right now is Muse for personal, Grok Bot for cloud tasks, Claude for specific use cases, and ChatGPT for everything else. But I think we’re going to see some major updates this week. Everyone should design their personal skills and files so they’re easy to port between harnesses and agents. Otherwise, you’ll spend half your time moving from one tool to another.
