Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.

If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Moonshot for the week ending August 21, 2026.

As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.

This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.

Category Cover Image Prompt: Bright sunny architectural photograph of a 1929 honey-cream Indiana limestone Art Deco skyscraper in the manner of a Los Angeles Zigzag Moderne tower, viewed from a neighboring rooftop across the street, with a stylized limestone herm emerging from a corner setback pier cradling a carved crescent moon on its chest while its geometric drapery fans downward into rocket-exhaust rays and a slender finned rocket relief climbs the pier below. The word MOONSHOT is incised in large Art Deco capitals on a parapet band beneath the figure, under a deep blue sky with crisp raking shadows and dark steel-framed windows receding into setbacks.

Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:

Kimi K3 was the common thread. Artificial Analysis said GLM-5.3 scored 60 on its Intelligence Index, matching Kimi K3 and up 7 points from GLM-5.2, and that it would tie as the top open-weights model once its weights are released.

Ollama said Kimi K3 is now available to over half its subscribers, hosted in the US and Europe with zero data retention. Agent Arena also added a Pareto frontier view comparing model performance against median cost per task.

This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
