Writing on AI, immersive content, studio infrastructure, and the shifts reshaping how stories get made and found.

Sixteen platforms, four tiers, and one question every engineering team is quietly negotiating: how far do you sit from the keyboard? A field guide to the coding platform market in 2026 — from foundation models to app builders that ship while you're in a different meeting.
Fourteen platforms, three tiers, and one question every legal department eventually asks. A field guide to the video generation market in 2026 — from Runway's shot consistency to the provenance problem that decides who survives contact with a production budget.
Eleven platforms, three tiers, and one unresolved legal question. A field guide to the image generation market in 2026 — from Midjourney's aesthetic dominance to the Eastern models nobody's indemnifying.

A landmark Nature study describes a fully automated R&D system that ran the entire research pipeline — ideation, execution, manuscript, peer review — in days. The human role shifts from execution to curation.
Google Research changed the math on the KV Cache — the memory bottleneck behind every long-context conversation. A look at zero-overhead compression, the numbers, and why Jevons Paradox means demand goes up, not down.
