OpenAI says its newest model rewrote the low-level code that runs it and cut serving costs by about a fifth -- and the internet called it the singularity. It isn't, and the real story is bigger: three research teams shipped the same quiet idea this week -- stop paying twice for work you already did. We get into a frozen 12B model that answers already-solved problems at zero cost, an NVIDIA kernel that makes video generation roughly twice as fast for free, and a training trick that catches a model's wrong turn before it wastes three pages. Plus the FCC putting every foreign-made robot on a national-security list, and Meta's data-center build swallowing 98% of its cash flow.
