NEW - Rime is letting personal agents handle call chores with Prism. Paste one recipe into Muse, add a Rime API key, and your agent can phone hotels, restaurants, or salons. Every call needs your approval first, Prism replies in ~300ms so it sounds natural, and you get a written report when it ends.
🤝 Paid partnership
i haven’t sat on hold in a month. everyone at @rimelabs built their own personal calling agent with Prism and @Muse. five minutes of setup and a Rime API key is all you need. this is @NicklausSalzman 's agent canceling his hotel reservation while he was in a meeting. (sound on to hear the convo)

NEW: Google is expanding its eighth-generation TPU portfolio with TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max, bringing the total to four systems launched in a single year. TPU 8i Max was built for large context windows. Google says Gemini is helping create chip layouts in hours rather than weeks. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/Google/status/21197880…
Today, we're expanding our eighth-generation TPU portfolio with two new systems built specifically for the agentic era — bringing our total to four distinct eighth-generation TPU systems launched in a single year. TPU 8i Max was built for massive context windows and the highest compute density per rack, and TPU 8tx is optimized for secure and confidential inference. While flexible across workloads, the four systems in our 8th gen TPU portfolio give developers and organizations a purpose-built accelerator for every stage of the agentic lifecycle. @AminVahdat, SVP and Chief Technologist, AI and Infrastructure, explains why we're expanding our TPU portfolio and what everyone needs to know about TPU 8tx and 8i Max ⬇️
