Sam Altman says Elon Musk’s mind games were damaging OpenAI

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says Elon Musk did "huge damage" to the culture of the AI startup. During testimony as part of Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, Altman said Musk required OpenAI president Greg Brockman and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever to rank researchers by their accomplishments and "take a chainsaw through a bunch." Altman conceded that this was the management style the Tesla CEO was known for, but that it was incompatible with his startup. "I don't think Mr. Musk understood how to run a good research lab," Altman testified when his lawyer, William Savitt, asked about the impact of Musk's departure from OpenAI on morale.

Cricut’s $99 craft cutting machine helped me feel creative again

The desk-friendly Cricut Joy 2 comes in multiple colors. | Photo: Sheena Vasani / The Verge I've always been skeptical of products that claim to help you lead a more creative life. But one recently won me over. I've spent three weeks with the Cricut Joy 2, a smart cutting and drawing machine that made it easy for me to get back into making stickers, cards, bookmarks, and more. The small $99 gadget isn't perfect, but its capabilities and app-provided templates were just what I was looking for. Caregiving, self-criticism, and mental health struggles have made it tough to tinker and doodle like I used to, and yet the Joy 2 clicked with me. It doles out quick wins when you're in the mood to create. I've been testing the Cricut Joy 2 … Read the full story at The Verge.

Tesla Semi battery sizes confirmed: 822 kWh and 548 kWh officially revealed

California’s Air Resources Board has officially confirmed the Tesla Semi’s battery capacities through a regulatory filing — and they’re smaller than what Elon Musk originally suggested back in 2022. The CARB Executive Order A-374-0095, signed on April 15, reveals that the Long Range Semi carries an 822 kWh usable battery pack while the Standard Range comes in at 548 kWh, both using NCMA lithium-ion chemistry with Tesla’s 4680 cells. more… Source: https://electrek.co/2026/05/08/tesla-semi-battery-size-822-kwh-548-kwh-carb-official/

Miami startup Subquadratic claims 1,000x AI efficiency gain with SubQ model; researchers demand independent proof.

A little-known Miami-based startup called Subquadratic emerged from stealth on Tuesday with a sweeping claim: that it has built the first large language model to fully escape the mathematical constraint that has defined — and limited — every major AI system since 2017. The company claims its first model, SubQ 1M-Preview, is the first LLM built on a fully subquadratic architecture — one where compute grows linearly with context length. If that claim holds, it would be a genuine inflection point in how AI systems scale. At 12 million tokens, the company says, its architecture reduces attention compute by almost 1,000 times compared to other frontier models — a figure that, if validated independently, would dwarf the efficiency gains of any existing approach. The company is also launching three products into private beta: an API exposing the full context window, a command-line coding agent called SubQ Code, and a search tool called SubQ Search. It has raised $29 million in seed funding from investors including Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen, former SoftBank Vision Fund partner Javier Villamizar, and early investors in Anthropic, OpenAI, Stripe, and Brex. The New Stack reported that the raise values the company at $500 million. The numbers Subquadratic is publishing are extraordinary. The reaction from the AI research community has been, to put it mildly, mixed — ranging from genuine curiosity to open accusations of vaporware. Understanding why requires understanding what the company claims to have solved, and why so many prior attempts to solve the same problem have fallen short. The quadratic scaling problem has shaped the economics of the entire AI industry Every transformer-based AI model — which includes virtually every frontier system from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others — relies on an operation called "attention." Every token is compared against every other ...
