Developers Say GPT-5 Is a Mixed Bag

wired.com Lauren Goode 2025-11-25 06:47:49

When OpenAI launched GPT-5 last week, it told software engineers the model was designed to be a “true coding collaborator” that excels at generating high-quality code and performing agentic, or automated, software tasks. While the company didn’t say so explicitly, OpenAI appeared to be taking direct aim at Anthropic’s Claude Code, which has quickly become many developers’ favored tool for AI-assisted coding. But developers tell WIRED that GPT-5 has been a mixed bag so far. It shines at technica

Opendoor stock pops 10% as CEO resigns following investor pressure campaign

cnbc.com Ari Levy 2025-11-25 11:22:18

Opendoor shares popped about 10% on Friday after CEO Carrie Wheeler said she's resigning from the online real estate company, which has seen a surge in recent interest from retail investors. Pressure began building on Wheeler, who took over the top job in 2022, after the company's quarterly earnings report earlier this month failed to reassure investors that a turnaround is underway. The stock is up more than sixfold since bottoming out at 51 cents in June, a price that put the company at risk

Apple’s big iPhone unveiling is just weeks away, and a new post from a Weibo leaker hints that there’s a surprise advantage coming to iPhone 17 Pro Max’s camera that may not be available on iPhone 17 Pro.

I let LLMs write an Elixir NIF in C; it mostly worked

news.ycombinator.com Isaak Tsalicoglou 2025-11-25 11:02:25

This post documents how I built a cross-platform Elixir NIF in C to get on-demand up-to-date disk-usage stats without relying on os_mon and its disksup service. I had Grok 3 generate the initial C code and Makefile, then iterated through multiple code reviews by Gemini 2.5 Flash and GPT-5 to make it work on Linux, macOS, Windows, and the BSDs (except DragonFlyBSD). Along the way, I ran into typical LLM hiccups that speak volumes about the breathless hyperbole often peddled by LLM vendors, comput

This is Part 2 of my LLM series. In Part 1, I discussed how in just a few short years, we went from the childlike joy of creating “Pirate Poetry” to the despair that our jobs would disappear. My main message was to relax a bit, as companies abuse the hype cycle to distort what is actually happening. In this post I want to talk about how we fall prey to this distortion: we perceive LLMs as intelligent when they aren’t. A recent post from Jeppe Stricker put me on this path. He wrote, “AI produces

Open-Sourced AI Models May Be More Costly in the Long Run, Study Finds

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-11-25 11:00:24

As more businesses adopt AI, picking which model to go with is a major decision. While open-sourced models may seem cheaper initially, a new study warns that those savings can evaporate fast, due to the extra computing power they require. In fact, open-source AI models burn through significantly more computing resources than their closed-source rivals when performing the same tasks, according to a study published Thursday by Nous Research.

Does Steven Spielberg’s ‘AI: Artificial Intelligence’ Play Differently Today?

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-25 11:00:42

Rewatching Steven Spielberg’s 2001 film AI: Artificial Intelligence, it feels as plausible as ever, but also more misguided. In 2001, AI was barely a thought in everyday life. It was the thing that destroyed the world in Terminator, and still a lofty goal in tech circles. Today, as the technology continues to grow and dominate daily conversation in almost every way, you may expect to watch the film and have a slightly new perspective. Some change in insight.

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR A Reddit clip shows the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic’s bezel still works when held above the screen, thanks to magnetic sensing. The bezel uses a Hall sensor to detect changes in a magnetic field, rather than a mechanical connection. The same system is used on the latest Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.
