Wow... A YC-backed startup just turned game development into a single text box.

It's called CodeWisp. Type what you want and it gives you a playable game right in your browser.

No Unity. No Godot. No 5 years of tutorials. Just describe and play.

100% browser-based.
CodeWisp is a browser-based AI game builder backed by Y Combinator.

You describe the game you want in plain English.

It generates the complete code, structure, and assets automatically.

2D games. 3D games. Multiplayer browser games. All from a single prompt.
Here's how the workflow actually runs:

→ Open the browser editor (no download, no install)
→ Describe your game: mechanics, enemies, physics, levels, visuals
→ CodeWisp generates it instantly
→ Prompt edits to refine anything
→ Publish with a shareable link in one click

That's it. That's the whole process.

Ok this feels like cheating.

AntLingAGI dropped a 1T parameter model that runs like it's 7B.

No reasoning-model delay. No 40-second thinking spiral. Just instant answers at frontier scale.

Free on OpenRouter starting tonight for a full week.

Here's what I found after testing it ↓Image
First thing I noticed: token efficiency is wild.

Most 1T-class models burn through context like they're trying to lose a bet. Ling-2.6 gets to the answer without the usual 800-token preamble about what it's "about to do."

Feels built by people who actually use these models. Image
1M context window.

I threw an entire repo at it. No degradation at depth. Pulled specifics from the middle of the context without the usual "lost in the middle" collapse.

This alone makes it worth testing if you work with large codebases or long docs. Image

Google has a recording of every search you've ever made.

Every place you've ever been. Every YouTube video you've ever watched.

Go to right now.

You'll find searches from 2015. Voice recordings. GPS coordinates.

All stored. All linked to your name.

Here's how to see it and delete it:myactivity.google.com
This isn't a conspiracy theory.

A peer-reviewed study from Trinity College Dublin found that your Android phone contacts Google's servers every 4.5 minutes.

Even when you're not touching it. Even when the screen is off.

It sends your device ID, your phone number, your SIM serial number, and your location.

Even if you never signed into a Google account.

How much data does Google have on you?

People who downloaded their full Google data reported files of 30, 60, even 150+ gigabytes.

That's the equivalent of tens of thousands of books. All about one person. You.

Go to . Download yours. See for yourself.

Warning: it can take hours to process. That should tell you something.takeout.google.com

Ok this is kind of wild.

A mystery 100B model just appeared at the top of OpenRouter out of nowhere.

No model card. No announcement. No idea which lab made it.

It's called Elephant Alpha and it's already beating half the paid models on the leaderboard. Image
The specs are what make it weirder.

→ 100B parameters
→ 256K context window
→ 32K output tokens
→ Function calling + structured output + prompt caching
→ $0 per million input tokens
→ $0 per million output tokens

You could run this against a full codebase today for free.
What actually sets it apart is the efficiency angle.

Most 100B models burn tokens like it's 2023. Elephant is tuned the other way, same answer, fewer tokens, lower latency.

Translation: cheaper agents, faster code completion, less context bloat on long docs.

This is the part nobody's screenshotting.Image

🚨 BREAKING: OpenAI and Anthropic engineers don't prompt like everyone else.

I reverse-engineered 10 Claude secret codes from internal docs, power users, and leaked examples.

Here are 10 Claude secret codes that separate the top 1% of AI users from everyone else.

(Save before this disappears)Image
1. /ghost → Strips every AI pattern from Claude's writing.

The output reads like a human wrote it. Because that's exactly the mode it activates.

Use before any content you don't want flagged or sounding robotic. Image
2. OODA → Military decision framework on command.

Observe. Orient. Decide. Act.

Add it before any problem you're stuck on and Claude maps a battle plan around it. Image

BREAKING 🚨: You don’t need to pay for AI anymore.

Open-source models are now matching GPT-5 performance and you can run them directly on your laptop for free.

No subscription. No API key. No data leaks. Just unlimited AI on your own device. Image
