President Trump spent over 10 hours on Truth Social posting dozens of AI-generated images, including one showing him monitoring markets with a caption claiming he personally made 'Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks' and other holdings for the country. No evidence was provided for the claim, which came amid other unrelated AI images depicting scenes like Iran's defeat and Trump on horseback with George Washington.

A hobby project called GET Together implements an entire social network—posting, replying, hearting and deleting—using only HTTP GET requests instead of POST. Posts are created by hitting URLs like /post?name=alice&text=hello, with an optional session cookie enabling later deletion, and a /feed endpoint returning JSON. The system includes basic profanity and crypto-content moderation, plus a reporting mechanism for abuse review.

Neuralab, a web development agency, published an analysis arguing that ERP integration requests, often framed casually by clients as a simple connection task, actually involve complex system sequencing and legacy data issues. The piece contrasts building a new storefront, which is a clean greenfield project, with integrating it into an existing ERP or CRM, which requires navigating undocumented, brittle legacy infrastructure.

Researchers built 75 synthetic but realistic code repositories across 10 languages, complete with fake company data and real dependency lockfiles, then tasked coding agents like Claude, Codex and Cursor with implementing missing third-party service integrations. Prompts were written from four different user personas—from vague 'vibe-coders' to detail-oriented enterprise engineers—producing 1,163 task variations that were run repeatedly to generate roughly 17,000 total experiment runs.

Meta released Muse Spark 1.3, an upgrade to its AI coding and agent model, touting benchmark scores that mostly come from a 'max' reasoning configuration still undergoing safety testing and unavailable through any API provider. The version actually shipping to developers via Muse Code and the Meta Model API uses the older 'xhigh' reasoning setting, which scores meaningfully lower on tests like GDPval-AA v2, OSWorld 2.0, and JobBench. Meta disclosed both sets of results in its evaluation report, but its marketing emphasized the higher, currently inaccessible numbers.

A developer detailed how to bypass TikTok's public web endpoints and instead access the private HTTP+JSON API used by its Android app, which returns far more data at higher speed. Using this method, the researcher collected 3.23 billion creator profiles, 5.94 billion videos and 2.8 billion comments in three weeks, and has released 4.5 billion of those videos as a free dataset on Hugging Face with captions, engagement metrics, sound data, country and posting time.
