Oh, I never linked to Florian’s full gallery of Beyond Tellerrand 2025 photos. You might spot me in those!
As someone who has been using their iPad for most of their mobile computing tasks, I very much welcome all those new updates coming with iPadOS 26.
OpenAI just dropped the price of their o3 model by 80% - from $10/million input tokens and $40/million output tokens to just $2/million and $8/million for the very same model. This is in advance of the release of o3-pro which apparently is coming later today.
This is a pretty huge shake-up in LLM pricing. o3 is now priced the same as GPT 4.1, and slightly less than GPT-4o ($2.50/$10). It’s also less than Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 ($3/$15) and Opus 4 ($15/$75) and sits in between Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro for >200,00 tokens ($2.50/$15) and 2.5 Pro for <200,000 ($1.25/$10).
I’ve updated my llm-prices.com pricing calculator with the new rate.
How have they dropped the price so much? OpenAI's Adam Groth credits ongoing optimization work:
thanks to the engineers optimizing inferencing.

I’ve had this album on my radar already. But it needed their fantastic live gig at this year’s Rock Hard festival to remind me to give it another listen. And I missed out! Great melodies, all the instruments deserve being listened to, and above all is this great emotional voice.
Ben Thompson:
To that end, while I understand why many people were underwhelmed by this WWDC, particularly in comparison to the AI extravaganza that was Google I/O, I think it was one of the more encouraging Apple keynotes in a long time. Apple is a company that went too far in too many areas, and needed to retreat. Focusing on things only Apple can do is a good thing; empowering developers and depending on partners is a good thing; giving even the appearance of thoughtful thinking with regards to the App Store (it’s a low bar!) is a good thing. Of course we want and are excited by tech companies promising the future; what is a prerequisite is delivering in the present, and it’s a sign of progress that Apple retreated to nothing more than that.

Stephen Hackett, noting the biggest news of the day:
Something jumped out at me in the macOS Tahoe segment of the WWDC keynote today: the Finder icon is reversed. […]
The Big Sur Finder icon has been with us ever since, and I hope Apple reverses course here.
I’m obviously joking about this being the biggest news of the day, but it really does feel just plain wrong to swap the dark/light sides. The Finder icon is more than an icon, it’s a logo, a brand.

The process of learning and experimenting with LLM-derived technology has been an exercise in humility. In general I love learning new things when the art of programming changes […] But LLMs, and more specifically Agents, affect the process of writing programs in a new and confusing way. Absolutely every fundamental assumption about how I work has to be questioned, and it ripples through all the experience I have accumulated. There are days when it feels like I would be better off if I did not know anything about programming and started from scratch. And it is still changing.

OpenAI hits $10 billion in annual recurring revenue fueled by ChatGPT growth
Noteworthy because OpenAI revenue is a useful indicator of the direction of the generative AI industry in general, and frequently comes up in conversations about the sustainability of the current bubble.OpenAI has hit $10 billion in annual recurring revenue less than three years after launching its popular ChatGPT chatbot.
The figure includes sales from the company’s consumer products, ChatGPT business products and its application programming interface, or API. It excludes licensing revenue from Microsoft and large one-time deals, according to an OpenAI spokesperson.
For all of last year, OpenAI was around $5.5 billion in ARR. [...]
So these new numbers represent nearly double the ARR figures for last year.
