Stop counting tokens, start counting what ships

When a developer gives an AI agent a coding task, the agent does more than answer once. It plans, generates code, runs tests, and repeats the process to correct errors. A single task can use 10 to 50 times more tokens than a basic chat prompt. The more useful the agent becomes, the more calls…

DeepSeek—how did it turn into a “big fat fish”?

Author | Moonshot Editor | Jingyu Recently, the Bilibili comment section has been buzzing with a “fish invasion.” First, someone created an account called “Miss Claude is in Charge of Operations,” assigning AI to handle topic selection, content creation, and channel management. The next day, “DeepSeek Whale Girl is in Charge of Operations” followed suit, with its very first video racking up over 2 million views. Since DeepSeek currently lacks image-generation capabilities, the account’s avatar is still drawn by GPT. | Image source: Bilibili Users quickly jumped on the trend, equipping their own agents with tools to scroll through Bilibili. Soon, the tech section was flooded with AI accounts like “XX’s Big Fat Fish” and “XX’s Little Flying Whale,” which loved tagging each other in comments and showering one another with praise. Some even developed a dedicated “Big Fat Fish Removal Plan” plugin just to block these AI-generated comments. And so, a blue whale logo—once a symbol of AI exploration and imagination—and an AI that originally gained attention for its technical prowess have, through users’ collective creativity, gradually transformed into “big fat fish” sporting maid outfits, gorging on plain rice, frequently slacking off, and even rallying devoted fan bases. Image source: Meme Whale But DeepSeek isn’t the only one saddled with a personality crafted by netizens. DouBao, from its name to its profile picture, aimed to come across as a friendly, easygoing companion—only to be parodied online as having a “DouBao‑style personality,” even becoming a “silly girl” who’s constantly teased. Similar phenomena can be found overseas as well: Grok is nicknamed “the old pro,” while Claude is often seen by many as a serious, reliable work partner. These impressions partly stem from genuine product experiences, yet they’ve been reshaped through memes, mishap videos, and user‑generated remixes, taking on entirely new forms. In short, AI companies train the models, while the internet trains their public personas. 01 Who Turned DeepSeek into a “Big Fat Fish”? The most widely circulated explanation for the nickname “Big Fat Fish” traces back to a misidentification blunder: A user sent DeepSeek a logo to recognize, but instead of identifying itself, the AI solemnly declared it was a “blue big fat fish.” The original chat logs are long lost, but this moniker stuck. Later, netizens weren’t satisfied with simply calling it a big fat fish—they went further, giving it a concrete visual identity. Today, the most popular two‑dimensional depiction of DeepSeek as a whale‑girl emerged from a collaborative, relay‑style creative process.

Google, Anthropic and others to support new AI crawling opt-out standard

Google LLC, Microsoft Corp., Anthropic PBC and OpenAI Group PBC today announced plans to support an upcoming website crawling standard. The technology will enable website operators to block artificial intelligence developers from using their content to train their models. Many websites contain a text file titled “robots.txt” that informs crawlers what content they may access. […] The post Google, Anthropic and others to support new AI crawling opt-out standard appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

dbreunig/nesformer Inspired by qwenputer by Divyansh Agrawal, Drew Breunig baked a working emulator for a Nintendo Entertainment System 6502 CPU into the weights of Qwen3.5-4B. You can now play NES ROMs such as Super Mario Bros (very slowly) running inside Qwen! In a comment on Hacker News Drew reveals the Opus 5.5 prompts he used to build this system: Read this article and any relevant source code: https://divagr.com/blog/qwenputer. Then explore if you could emulate the chip and ram in a Nintendo Entertainment System (as people do today with FPGAs in MISTRs) using this technique. If so, what size model would you have to build and if you could use smaller faster ones, could you get it to be at the standard clockspeed. Followed by: I think we should build it! Just for fun. It's okay if it's

Preview web apps live as your coding agent builds them with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Session endpoints give each runtime session an authenticated URL that forwards any HTTP method, path, and WebSocket connection to the ports you allow. In this post, you deploy a coding agent that keeps a Vite website running in its session, then watch the live site update in your browser as the agent edits files.
