You Might’ve Missed
Meta Ray-Ban Display dev preview is live. @MetaforDevs lets you extend an iOS/Android app via the Device Access Toolkit, or build web apps in plain HTML/CSS/JS.
How Devin tests its own work. @cognition shares @ido_pesok's writeup on end-to-end verification inside Devin's VM. Real plumbing, not hype.
Go all in on diffusion. @DavidSHolz: autoregression wins on memory bandwidth, diffusion wins on FLOPS, the future is all FLOPS. So why are we still defaulting to autoregressive?
A world-championship robot, laser-cut. @fabworks_guy shows their in-house robotics team's winning build. Almost every custom part came off a Fabworks laser cutter.
All of human cooking in 2 MB. @josefchen's new food model: 4.1M recipes, 7 languages, 1,790 ingredients, 300 dimensions. Email-attachment sized.
Surya OCR 2 tops olmocr under 3B. @VikParuchuri ships it at 650M params, 83.3% olmocr, 87% on a 91-language internal bench, 5 pages/s on a 5090.
Lawyer SaaS arbitrage (a bit). @giyu_codes' running joke: 4 lawyers "agreed" to pay $50K/mo for free data, rest folded on FOMO. Next: an MSA for the exclusive $75K tier.

On June 6th - 7th 2026, come to the Weights & Biases SF office (no online component, sorry) to have the most fun building self-improving agents you'll have this year. This time, we're growing the team: orchestrating pipelines and wrangling swarms.
Agent capabilities have advanced a lot over the last year — even by their own doing. This can mean better memory systems, new forms of RL and fine-tuning, new ways of dynamic tool creation, self improving loops like Ralph, GasTown etc. Agents that run while we go play with robot dogs--let's build agents that work together while we're away.
