Audit finds fake-news classifiers lean on shortcuts
High benchmark scores may be dataset artifacts; rerun evaluation on adversarial splits.

Jev primitives already have Python clones
Before adopting Jev, pin a benchmark; API fragmentation is arriving within days.

140k home batteries dispatch 580 MW for California grid
Rooftop storage is grid-scale dispatchable capacity; factor behind-the-meter assets into demand response planning.

Amoeba survives 63°C, complex-life heat record
Expands enzyme and bioprospecting targets for high-temperature bioprocessing and subsurface life detection.

The Take
Capability announcements reset pricing faster than they reset trust; the operational edge is in validated routing, data provenance, and adversarial evaluation rather than model access. Grid storage crossed a dispatchability threshold independent of AI hype.
