The fastest way to build AI apps

We’re excited to introduce Writer AI Studio, the fastest way to build AI apps, products, and features. Writer’s unique full-stack design makes it easy to prototype, deploy, and test AI apps – allowing developers to build with APIs, a drag-and-drop open-source Python framework, or a no-code builder, so you have flexibility to build the way you want.

Writer comes with a suite of top-ranking LLMs and has built-in RAG for easy integration with your data. Check it out if you’re looking to streamline how you build and integrate AI apps.

Bible Verses of the Day

13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. [Matthew 7:13-14, ESV]

Incoming president Donald Trump is considering naming an “AI czar” in the White House, Axios reports.

Should Trump appoint such a policy person, they’d be charged with helping to coordinate federal regulation and governmental use of AI. Importantly, an AI czar wouldn’t require Senate confirmation, Axios notes — allowing them to get to work on the administration’s goals faster.

No names have been put forth for consideration. But Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, the co-leaders of the extra-governmental org known as DOGE, will have significant input into who gets the AI czar role, according to Axios.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink Corp. has announced it’s started testing a robotic arm that could be controlled using the mind. The early-stage study outlines a robotic arm that would be controlled using a Neuralink device implanted in the brain, allowing paralyzed people to control it without movement.

Where current prosthetics rely on existing movement from the remaining limb, a Neuralink robotic arm would be more widely applicable. “We’re excited to announce the approval and launch of a new feasibility trial to extend BCI control using the N1 Implant to an investigational assistive robotic arm,” wrote Neuralink in an announcement post on X. “This is an important first step towards restoring not only digital freedom, but also physical freedom.”
