WINDSURF
🧑‍💻 Windsurf unveils SWE-1 Model Family

Lazy Bits: Windsurf launches SWE-1, its first frontier model family built to accelerate the entire software engineering process, outperforming mid-sized and open-weight models while challenging top foundation models in agentic coding.

In-Depth Details:

SWE-1, SWE-1-lite, and SWE-1-mini target different performance tiers, with SWE-1 offered free to paid users during the promo period.
It handles the full engineering cycle code, terminal, debugging, and user feedback, reflecting how real developers work.
Built on Windsurf’s flow-aware system, SWE-1 enables smooth collaboration between humans and AI over shared, evolving timelines.
SWE-1 outperformed Claude 3.5 Sonnet and open-weight models in production tests, driving higher code acceptance and user engagement.
SWE-1 is now live for paid users; SWE-1-lite and SWE-1-mini are free for all users across Windsurf’s platform.

Lazy Conclusion: Windsurf isn’t just building another coding model; it’s aiming to redefine software engineering itself. With SWE-1, the company moves beyond code autocomplete toward AI that collaborates across the entire engineering journey. If SWE-1 keeps evolving at this pace, Windsurf may soon set the new standard for developer-first AI models.

OPENAI
🤖 OpenAI rolls out GPT-4.1 & GPT-4.1 Mini

Lazy Bits: OpenAI rolled out GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini to ChatGPT, bringing faster coding, sharper instruction following, and smoother performance for Plus, Pro, and Team users.

In-Depth Details:

GPT-4.1 boosts coding and task-following performance over GPT-4o, while GPT-4.1 mini replaces GPT-4.0 mini for all ChatGPT users.
Optimized for developers, GPT-4.1 improves code generation and debugging, making ChatGPT more useful for engineering tasks.
They launched a new Safety Evaluations Hub to share model safety results, following earlier criticism over GPT-4.1's release without reports.
OpenAI clarifies GPT-4.1 isn’t a frontier model, focusing instead on speed, coding, and usability, not reasoning breakthroughs like GPT-o3.

Lazy Conclusion: OpenAI is sharpening ChatGPT’s coding edge with GPT-4.1, signalling a bigger push into developer tools. As the AI coding race heats up, OpenAI is moving fast to dominate the space, with its reported $3B Windsurf acquisition set to further strengthen its lead.

Bio-Rhythm Warp

You can ask ChatGPT to act as your chronobiology hacker, designing a 5-day ‘time warp’ plan that syncs your daily routine with your body’s ultra-peak energy patterns.

ChatGPT will map tasks to your natural rhythms, integrate unconventional boosters like color therapy or micro-movements, and help you track energy spikes using a personalized vitality score, turning your week into a bio-optimized productivity system.

Prompt:

Be a chronobiology hacker. Map my routine [describe day] to a 5-day ‘time warp’ plan that aligns tasks with ultra-peak energy states. Use o3 for bizarre boosts like color therapy or micro-movement, tracking energy surges with a personalized vitality score.

Result:
