Summary

Ideogram shipped Ideogram 4.0, an open source image model that finally puts open weights on par with the closed frontier for professional work, with dense text rendering. Anthropic published a paper showing Claude now writes more than 80 percent of its internal code, and we walked the graph that proves it. And Founders Fund launched a Mafia show filmed at the Tosca Cafe in San Francisco, and the marketing play behind it is the real story. Sources: 1.
