OpenAI Sidesteps Nvidia With Unusually Fast Coding Model On Plate-Sized Chips
On Thursday, OpenAI released its first production AI model to run on non-Nvidia hardware, deploying the new GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark coding model on chips from Cerebras. The model delivers code at more than 1,000 tokens (chunks of data) per second, which is reported to be roughly 15 times faster than its predecessor. To compare, Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 in its new premium-priced fast mode reaches about 2.5 times its standard speed of 68.2 tokens per second, although it is a larger and more capable model than Spark.

Miscellaneous
Learn Fundamentals Not Frameworks
Most knowledge in our industry has a short lifespan. Most frameworks peak between 2 and 5 years. Instead of rushing to learn a new framework this month, we should spend more time learning things that don’t change.
Attention Subscribers
Every two weeks, on Friday at 7 PM IST, we distribute a “BONUS EDITION” featuring highly valuable links. These special editions are exclusively sent to our most dedicated and engaged subscribers. To ensure you receive these editions, please take the following actions:
1. Regularly open our emails. We track email open rates to identify our most active subscribers.

We believe in sharing great resources, and these newsletters are some good ones. They offer sharp, focused insights - especially around tech topics we might only touch on briefly.
If you're into cryptocurrency and blockchain, we recommend Cryptogram - it dives deep into the space, which we don’t often cover in detail.
For startup enthusiasts, Rustic Flute is a must-read, especially since we’ve noticed many of you love staying on top of the latest in the startup world.
