  • Vibe coding goes multiplayer

    Google Labs' Play with Putty lets a whole team build websites and small tools in one shared session — everyone editing and prompting the same AI live, like a multiplayer canvas for generated apps. It's an experiment behind a waitlist, open from any country.

  • A free scoreboard for 44 models

    Martian's AI Frontier ranks 44 LLMs on quality, cost, and consistency, with reliability scores from 0.74 to 0.96 — a quick gut-check on which model to trust before you wire one into production. Free to browse, no signup.

  • Pick your video model on purpose

    OpenRouter's video benchmarks put Seedance 2.5 ahead on physics and prompt adherence, while MiniMax H3 Max wins on speed and cost. If the shot has to look right, reach for one; if it has to ship cheap, the other.
