GPT-5.6, in Three Moons: What the Sol/Terra/Luna Split Really Says
OpenAI no longer ships one model, but three durable tiers. Behind the benchmark records, the real signal lies elsewhere: cost per unit of intelligence, not the top score.
IBM and the atomic era of chips: why AI is settled first in silicon
IBM reports a sub-nanometer chip able to stack close to 100 billion transistors. Beyond the feat, a reminder: AI is not a magic cloud — it is manufactured in matter.
AI Won't Destroy Your Job. It Will Destroy Your Excuse.
Employment statistics show no wave of job destruction yet. But the ILO measures 1 job in 4 as exposed, and Stanford already observes a 13% drop in junior hiring. The real risk isn't the loss of jobs — it's the closing of the entry doors.
When the Token Costs Nothing: AI Becomes a Commodity, Vision Becomes Scarce
The cost to produce a million tokens would fall from $4.20 to $0.12 with Blackwell GPUs. When AI becomes nearly free, value moves elsewhere.
Fable 5, Pulled in 72 Hours: Sovereignty Is the Real Heart of AI
Three days after launch, Anthropic's most powerful model was cut off from every foreign national by order of Washington. Capability you don't control can be switched off.
No, software engineering isn't dead. But some developers should start to worry.
Code was never the product. Now that AI writes it in minutes, this isn't the end of developers — it's the end of their monopoly on value.
RTX Spark: Nvidia and Microsoft's \"Apple Silicon\" Moment
At Computex 2026, Nvidia unveiled RTX Spark: an Arm CPU paired with a Blackwell GPU and unified memory, running Windows. Five years after Apple's M1, the PC reaches its own architectural turning point.
From ENIAC to the Law of Tau: what if computing changed its compass?
Huawei proposes to measure progress not by transistor size, but by the time data takes to travel. A cautious read of a possible change of compass.
Anthropic turns profitable: the AI race enters its economic era
Multiple financial publications report that Anthropic, maker of Claude, has reached operational profitability. Beyond the fact itself, it signals a turning point: the generative-AI race is entering its economic phase.
Welcome to Ryuzaki Labs
We're opening a window onto our associative innovation lab — between Japan and Réunion Island.
The lab in three words
Freedom, frugality, transmission. Our compass for the years to come.
