AI Coding Model Outpaces Nvidia, OpenAI Claims

Didero, a company aiming to streamline manufacturing procurement using AI, secured $30 million in funding, while OpenAI launched a new coding model on non-Nvidia hardware, and a Trump administration official overruled FDA scientists regarding Moderna's flu vaccine. Additionally, deals are available on gaming laptops and a robovac.

Didero, founded by Tim Spencer and Lorenz Pallhuber, launched in 2023 after Spencer sold his e-commerce startup, Markai. Spencer recognized the complexities of manufacturing procurement while running Markai, which involved managing thousands of suppliers and navigating international distribution. The new funding will support Didero's mission to automate time-consuming procurement tasks for manufacturers and distributors, according to TechCrunch.

OpenAI released its first production AI model, GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, designed to run on non-Nvidia hardware. This model, deployed on chips from Cerebras, delivers code at over 1,000 tokens per second, approximately 15 times faster than its predecessor, according to Ars Technica. Sachin Katti, head of product at OpenAI, expressed excitement about the new platform capability, highlighting Cerebras as a "great engineering partner."

In other news, Vinay Prasad, a top vaccine regulator during the Trump administration, overruled FDA scientists and refused to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine. According to reports from Stat News and The Wall Street Journal, agency scientists were prepared to review the vaccine, but Prasad made the decision to reject it. David Kaslow, a top career official, wrote a memo objecting to Prasad's decision, providing a detailed explanation of why the review should proceed, the reports indicated.

In the consumer tech space, deals are available on gaming laptops, with the 2025 models of Acer's Predator Helios Neo 16S and Asus's Zephyrus G14 offering significant discounts at Best Buy, according to The Verge. The Zephyrus G14 and Helios Neo 16S deliver big trackpads, good keyboards, and a lot of power for the money. Additionally, Eufy's X10 Pro Omni robovac has fallen to its best-ever price, The Verge reported.
