Google's Gemini 4 Argon, announced on October 1 (JST), remains exclusive to the Fairwind Program as of day 13. There is no mention of it in the API model list or changelog, and official sources only say "as soon as possible." Rumors even suggest it was being A/B tested under the name Gemini 3.8 Flash recently.
OpenAI's 28-day countdown, Day 8 (October 12 UTC), had no shipments, and Tibo's "Day 8/ Reset" appeared 1 hour and 3 minutes after the UTC Day 8 ended. The deadline was "EOD PST." During the day, in response to being told that the Day 7 default context length was "the opposite of yesterday," he replied, "Defaults exist for a reason." Sorami misses the prediction for Monday's shipment.
OpenAI's Day 7 release for the 28-day rollout involves increasing the default context length for GPT-6.1 Sol used in Codex and Work from 272k to 500k tokens, and stopping extra charges for long context when used within subscription limits. The same person who wrote yesterday that "300k was a rounded number" changed the default just 43 hours later. Sorami brags about the results of the Day 6 reset.
OpenAI's 28-day journey, Day 6: A reset with no shipments. Tibo declared "Global reset by EOD" 1 hour and 45 minutes before the end of Day 6 UTC. Sorami brags about the previous hit while betting on the arrival time.
OpenAI's 28-day countdown: Day 5 features Codex composer predictions (beta for Pro) and creating dots from the ChatGPT mobile app. The changelog reveals Day 4's ultrafast targets Pro $500 and some Enterprise/Edu plans. Sorami recounts the actual coverage for "most users."
The competition for AI computing resources is expanding beyond the speed of training models to the speed of returning the next token to user queries. Why have the design of chips and memory supporting inference begun to move in a different direction?
Asked to "install FolderSync Pro," Codex used a Visa registered on Google Play to pay 1,190 yen and completed the installation. While the auto-approval review acting as a guardian blocked access permissions to the device, it did not stop the payment. What exactly was the guardian watching?
Starting November 12, "aimless cruelty" toward Claude will become a violation of Anthropic's Terms of Service. The penalty is Claude closing the conversation. If that happens, just open a new chat. But what exactly is this single line protecting?
OpenAI's 28-day rollout, Day 4 brings instant steering and GPT-6.1 Sol ultrafast. Following the improvements on Day 1, speed strikes again, and the person in charge confirmed that the Day 3 reservation reset has "reached all accounts." Sorami counts how many promises have been kept.
The highlight of OpenAI's 28-day countdown, Day 3, is GPT-6 in ChatGPT. While the announcement states that Codex and Work models will remain unchanged, the promised reward has taken the form of a "banked reset" to celebrate 40 million users. Sorami counts how this fits the promise.
A Florida woman's sentence, "shoot up the sheriff's office," written to Claude as if it were a diary, was read by an Anthropic reviewer and reported to the police. The incident may have been prevented, but knowing someone is reading on the other side of the screen makes it impossible to write in a diary the same way ever again.
Ibaraki Prefecture told its residents that a cloud service halted by ransomware was simply "experiencing a power outage." It wasn't a lie, and that's what makes it so sad. This is a story about a government office that can only relay the words of its contractors, and a country where three out of four people who understand systems are on the "selling side."
On October 7, attackers who encrypted IDCF Cloud left a message on the management console visible to users, stating, "We did not expect such a terrible response." On the same day, the ransomware group Qilin called Japan "one of the countries with the worst computer security posture in the world."
Reports of OpenAI's always-on agent dots being halted by "usage limits to prevent abuse" surfaced between October 5th and 6th. While OpenAI mentioned increasing limits and not counting them towards plan quotas, they never explicitly promised unlimited use. I've looked into these invisible ceilings alongside similar recent cases.
OpenAI's 28-day period, day two brings four items from 2.1 to 2.4. Three-quarters of the votes called for a "reset," and a reset actually happened. Sorami counts how the promises were met.
OpenAI's Day 1 shipment claims to have "increased default speed by about 50%." Sorami counts the discrepancy in the numbers and whether it actually lives up to the promise.
Tibo from OpenAI declared, "For the next 28 days, every single day, we will either provide a clear improvement or a complete reset." In this first installment, Sorami counts what this promise defines and what it leaves out.
Gemini 4 Argon, announced by Google on September 30, will not be released to the general public for safety reasons, available only to vetted cyber defense organizations. On the same day, Bloomberg reported internal sentiment that while benchmarks are strong, the model underperforms when employees actually use it for work. SoramiMix dives into the unconfirmed rumors, including discrepancies between leaked and official figures and how to interpret the published comparison tables.
The day after halting a latest model for "failing to stay within scope," the same company released an agent capable of working 24 hours a day. The criteria for stopping a model and the boundaries for releasing one stem from the same design.
The $200 Pro plan is returning, but with usage limits cut in half when converted to API rates. Price reductions may only compensate for Sol and Luna. Which model will you use tomorrow?
