Paramount Skydance agreed to a longer-term delay of its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros.

The delay was also agreed to by the Writers Guild of America,…

While this is a noteworthy bump for Opus, it doesn’t seem to be an Opus 4.5-level breakthrough in agentic coding performance.

It ostensibly beats Opus 4.8 and OpenAI’s competing GPT-5.6-Sol in just about every kind of…

The rebates will be funded by some of the government’s proceeds of the C-Band wireless auction run…
