Dreamer which launched just a month ago by Hugo Barra and David Singleton got execu-hired by Meta and joined Meta's Superintelligence Labs. I'm also very piqued by Littlebird with its 'agent-on-a-shoulder' approach via 'screen reading'. Whilst Anthropic definitely impacted its fans by tightening Claude's usage during peak hours, both OpenAI and Zhipu responding with increased rate limits and in the case of Zhipu launch of GLM-5.1 exclusively for now via its coding plan and showing via its benchmarks much improved numbers relative to GLM-5 and even approaching Opus 4.6 I had some issues using the table feature of Paragraph whilst creating this week's newsletter so layout will be different compared to previous weeks Readers who think others in their family, friends and acquaintances who are curious in knowing more about rapidly evolving AI tools/services/use cases and would benefit from being subscribers of this weekly newsletter are encouraged to share this publication link to them and invite them to subscribe The following messages were posted on the 'All Things AI' Telegram group from Sunday 22nd Mar 2026 to Saturday 28th Mar 2026Sunday 22nd March 2026Supermemory introduced ASMR—Agentic Search and Memory Retrieval—an experimental in-memory system using parallel AI agents that scored 98.6% on LongMemEval-s, crushing prior results like their own 85% and rivals' lower marks. It skips vector databases entirely, with observer agents extracting knowledge from long chat histories and specialized search agents handling queries on facts, context, and timelines. Founder Dhravya Shah shared the breakthrough, planning to open-source the code soon, while excitement builds alongside concerns over high compute costs for real-world scaling.

Gokul Rajaram @gokulr I've spent my career building products that reduce friction for users. @LittlebirdAI does something I've rarely seen. It eliminates an entire category of friction: the overhead of remembering, retrieving, and re-explaining your own work. I use it every day.

His argument: AI code without human process & architecture work is not a greenfield implementation and thus a copyright infringement. Especially because models are known to ignore licenses (e.g. GPL) and reissue the verbatim code under MIT By the way this is the Chardet case referenced in the talkChardet dispute shows how AI will kill software licensingAlarm bells are ringing in the open source community, but commercial licensing is also at riskhttps://www.theregister.comvia Robby Yung Felix Rieseberg @felixrieseberg Today, we’re releasing a feature that allows Claude to control your computer: Mouse, keyboard, and screen, giving it the ability to use any app. I believe this is especially useful if used with Dispatch, which allows you to remotely control Claude on your computer while you’re 18.8K 5:27 AM • Mar 24, 2026 Introducing the MiniMax Token Plan: First All-Modality API Subscription Flat-rate API access to MiniMax's leading text, speech, music, video, and image models.

Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, Imagen. All variations on the same idea. Uni-1 doesn’t use diffusion. It generates images token by token, the same autoregressive architecture that powers GPT and Claude for text. One model that processes the prompt and produces the image in a single pass. Luma @LumaLabsAI Uni-1 is here! A new kind of model that thinks and generates pixels simultaneously. Less artificial. More intelligent. 5,015 11:48 PM • Mar 23, 2026 Wednesday 25th March 2026via Yat Siu not sure if this is the right forum but for people living in HK this remains a concern Yat Siu @ysiu 1/ @Google you say will be rolling out the Gemini suite now but offering the chatbot experience today is so 2023. Would appreciate if you can provide clarity when tools like Google AI Studio, Gemini API, Labs etc. actually become available here (without VPN).

Thariq from Anthropic explained the change distributes usage more evenly and noted efficiency gains to soften the blow, though about 7% of users, especially Pro coders, face new hurdles with token-heavy work like extended coding sessions. OpenAI responded by promoting its Codex tool with temporary higher limits, as power users vent about quick caps and some even cancel plans. Thariq @trq212 To manage growing demand for Claude we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During weekdays between 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT, you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before. 6,832 3:45 AM • Mar 27, 2026 Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav @reach_vb meanwhile, you can enjoy Codex with 2x rate limits for the next week 24x7 across all ChatGPT subscriptions! npm i -g @openai/codex time to build is NOW!!

It excels in human preference tests at 61% win rate for handling accents, noise, and multiple speakers, while processing audio up to three times faster. Supporting 14 languages from English to Korean under an Apache 2.0 license, it runs on consumer GPUs and powers enterprise tools—coinciding with Mistral's Voxtral TTS launch for a big step in open voice AI.

From the ZAI DiscordThe current model is still in the preview version. We will continue to optimize it based on everyone's feedback, so we haven't open-sourced it for now. We plan to open-source the model and launch the official full version around April 6th or April 7th.
