ChatGPT news, outages, features and how developers use it, along with the risks.

A local LLM is three layers: weights on disk, a runtime that loads them, an interface that talks to it. Once you see the stack that way, the hardware question answers itself and the tuning stops being guesswork.
A retired Austrian developer built an open-source AI agent for fun in November 2025. Within 90 days, Jensen Huang called it the most successful open-source project in human history.

Microsoft gave OpenAI $13 billion and exclusive cloud access. OpenAI took the money, restructured itself into a for-profit company, handed a $50 billion deal to Amazon instead, and is now building a competitor to GitHub. This is what a corporate backstab looks like in slow motion.
OpenAI is building a GitHub competitor — a technical breakdown of Git internals, version control history, and what this move signals about OpenAI's strategy.
OpenAI started as a nonprofit safety research lab in 2015. Today it's a $730 billion for-profit corporation that removed "safely" from its own mission statement. Here's every major moment that got them there — the good, the bad, and the straight-up alarming.
