Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor hits hard for the price. Cheaper than DS-v4-flash, performance close to GPT-5.5. Trade-off: Meta trains on your data.

Google killed Gemini 3.5 Pro.
Semi Analysis says they've dropped it entirely skipping straight to Gemini 4 to chase frontier models. Probably won't ship till year end. My annual sub just expired too so I guess that saves me the cancellation.
word is DeepSeek might be jacking up prices soon
. their API already crashed once from the surge. guess they're short on GPUs raising prices to deal with the flood of callers.
Gemini got caught training its models on all user data.
Here's the insane part: Google puts "training data" and "chat history" behind one toggle called "Keep Activity." Leave it on and you feed the model by default, paid users and all. Turn it off and you're out of training, but you also lose your chat memory and linked apps. For anything sensitive, stick to Temporary Chat.
Duolingo moved Video Call from Max down to Super.
You talk out loud with Lily, live. She answers, and she asks follow-ups, so it lands closer to a real conversation than to a lesson. That's the part that makes it useful for speaking. • New Super accounts get unlimited calls already. Anyone on Super before today gets them before the year is out. • Duolingo stops selling Max this month. Individual Max users get switched to Super Family at the price they pay now. • Cost per call went from $0.30 to under $0.01, mostly because they moved to open-source models. Six languages for now: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese.
