OpenCode just unveiled Ox Alpha, a stealth AI packing a massive 1M token context and nearly unlimited rate limits. Technical fingerprints suggest it might be a secret multimodal variant from a major Chinese lab, but the makers of the model still remain in the shadows. In an early testing attempt, a developer reported an 80% success rate on coding tasks.

Holiday planning is already in full gear, and the pressure is on for ecommerce brands to generate demand.

Creator affiliate marketing can help by connecting more of your marketing spend to measurable performance. But creators are already locking in their holiday content calendars 90 days out, and brands who wait too long lose the runway they need to build momentum before the holidays.

The 90-Day Holiday Sprint is a practical guide from Levanta that breaks down building a creator affiliate program with checkpoints at Day 30, Day 60, and Day 90, so your program is live and capturing holiday demand instead of scrambling to catch up.

Outer Bio, co-founded by Lady Gaga and fiancé Michael Polansky, emerged from stealth with Yuna, a platform that keeps human skin alive for four weeks and feeds its testing data into an AI looking for viable skincare compounds. Yuna keeps full-thickness ex vivo skin alive for four weeks — versus about a week normally — on a 3D-printed scaffold that feeds it and clears waste.

Apple is set to introduce its foldable iPhone at a launch event on or around September 9. Samsung has stolen some of the thunder from the launch by introducing a similar design, but that just reinforces that the new form factor is a winner. Apple's device reportedly excels as a camera viewfinder, but it lacks a telephoto camera, which could be an issue for early adopters spending over $2,000. The design also relies on Touch ID rather than Face ID.

Nvidia is building a free model to fight DeepSeek abroad and its own customers at home. A $6 billion licence hands Nvidia the system Poolside used to build its open coding models, along with 109 of its engineers. That work feeds Nemotron, whose next flagship should pass a trillion parameters and land as the largest open model anyone can download. Nvidia has run this licence and hire structure before, taking Groq's inference technology in December for close to $20 billion.

Alibaba runs two deliberately scrambled scripts on the AliExpress homepage, collina.js and fireyejs.js, which create a tone and drop the volume to nothing so it never actually plays. The computer still has to process that sound, and the scripts measure how it handled the job on the way out to the speakers, so muting the tab does not help because the page has no video or music player to mute.
