The Bulletin:
  • March Against the Machines
  • Welcome to the Queue

  • MiniMax releases open-source M2.5 matching Claude Opus 4.6 on SWE-Bench at 1/20th the cost. 80% of MiniMax's committed code is now AI-generated. The model is writing its own successor's infrastructure.
  • Federal agencies face March 11 deadline to update AI procurement policies under Trump's AI Action Plan. By March 16, FTC/FCC must issue guidance preempting state AI laws. The government is not regulating AI — it is adopting it. Extends Anthropic/Pentagon thread.
