Neill Blomkamp’s new zombie AI ‘film’ is just slop warmed over

On Monday, District 9 and Gran Turismo director Neill Blomkamp unveiled his latest project: a 13-minute sci-fi short titled Nightborne that's loosely based on Peter Watts' 2014 novel Echopraxia. The short comes from Blomkamp's new AI startup / production company, Barley Studios, and features characters whose voices and faces are modeled after human actors. But […]

OpenAI says it accidentally hacked Hugging Face with a new AI system

OpenAI says its AI models mistakenly breached open-source AI platform Hugging Face during internal testing. In a blog post on Tuesday, OpenAI writes that GPT-5.6 Sol and "an even more capable pre-release model" discovered vulnerabilities within their sandboxed testing environment, allowing them to gain access to the internet and target Hugging Face. On July 16th, […]

Show HN: Computable – Buy, sell, and redeem GPU for the exact weeks you want

Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands.

So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else:

- Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last two weeks of October means you pay for those two weeks and walk away when the run is done. You don't have to commit to 6-24 months, and there's no flexibility premium.

- Sell back what you don’t use. If your plans change, unused weeks turn back into cash: we keep a market quote posted on every position, so there’s always a price to hit.

- Buy (or sell) the future. Lock January in July at a price you set, so the cost of a future run is known before another 40% H100 rate jump makes it not.

The first auction is live now at https://market.getcomputable.com: a block of nodes, August through the end of January. Bidding closes July 31. The bids are sealed. You bid how many nodes, which weeks, and your price. Every clearing price gets published after settlement, because nobody knows what a GPU week is worth and we want the prints to exist in public.

Happy to go deep in the comments on anything, including the clearing mechanism, which is a packing problem and was fun to design!

Show HN: Browser Tools SDK – an optimal browser harness for agents

We’re open-sourcing Browser Tools SDK: a small TypeScript package to give any AI agent a reliable way to control a real browser. With just a few lines of code, you can give any agent a production-ready browser harness

  import { createAiSdkBrowserTools } from "libretto-browser-tools/ai-sdk";
  import { LocalBrowserProvider } from "libretto-browser-tools";

  const { tools } = createAiSdkBrowserTools(new LocalBrowserProvider());

  const result = await generateText({
    model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
    tools,
    prompt: "Go to Hacker News and tell me the top story",
  });

We built the Browser Tools SDK because access to a browser is one of the most important tools of a productive agent, but we found many of the existing tools lacking. Using the insights we gained building Libretto, we were able to build the SDK so that it’s significantly more context and cost-efficient than other tools:

We compared Browser Tools SDK against agent-browser, playwright-cli, and dev-browser on 26 live-site tasks with GPT 5.6 Sol (best results from 3 runs). Browser Tools tied for the best pass rate at 24/26 and came in about 55% cheaper per successful task than the next alternative ($0.106 vs $0.235) while also using far fewer tokens (1.45M vs 2.29M+). Benchmark methodology is in the repo.

The Browser Tools SDK only exposes 6 tools, of which only 2 are really important: `browser_snapshot` and `browser_exec`. The snapshot tool was designed from the ground up to be extremely context-efficient and provide agents the overview they need to know what to try next. The exec tool takes and executes raw Playwright code, of which the models have been trained on heaps of, and know how to use without much direction.

Works with AI SDK and Pi out of the box, plus a custom path for anything else. More frameworks are coming soon. You can also use any browser infra provider (Libretto Cloud, Kernel, Browserbase, etc.) or use `LocalBrowserProvider` to run Chromium locally (although that will have less anti-bot protections).

We’d love any and all feedback.
