A heavy Tuesday. HN’s #1 is the formal end of Microsoft and OpenAI’s exclusive partnership and revenue-share — the AGI clause is now history. GitHub Copilot moves to usage-based billing (HN 532 pts, 408 comments). Mercor’s 4TB voice-sample leak puts 40k AI annotators on the public web. pgbackrest stops maintenance and the Postgres community begins migrating. Microsoft drops VibeVoice on MIT — a Whisper-class ASR model with diarization that runs on a Mac with one uv line. Two strong Japan picks: Matz’s own Ruby AOT compiler Spinel, and the CAMPFIRE GitHub-credentials breach postmortem.

The GPT-5.5 dust settles and the interesting news moves one layer down the stack: Google puts PyTorch natively on TPUs (TorchTPU), ships Spanner Omni that runs on your laptop, and the Claude Code ecosystem keeps maturing with a code-search MCP hitting GitHub Trending.

GPT-5.5 ships, Anthropic posts a Claude Code postmortem, and Google Cloud Next debuts Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform — all on the same day. Plus a Bitwarden CLI supply-chain breach and Crawshaw’s ‘I am building a cloud’ manifesto.
