Type 4x Faster
Are you really still typing?
Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt use (we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
WHAT'S HOT
Kimi K3 Just Wiped $3.3 Trillion From Chip Stocks.
Moonshot AI released Kimi K3 last Thursday. 2.8 trillion parameters, largest open-weight model ever announced. It scored above Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on benchmarks, on par with GPT-5.6 Sol. It also knocked $3.3 trillion off chip stocks, the second time a Chinese open-weight model has done that to markets in eighteen months. Investors are back to asking what $725 billion in AI infrastructure capex is actually buying.
The weights aren't public yet. They drop July 27, six days from now. When they do, any developer with a GPU setup can run a model that currently benchmarks near the frontier for nothing. DeepSeek V4 is already at $0.87 per million output tokens. K3 costs $15 on the API right now. In six days both those numbers become the ceiling, not the floor.
For people building products, the specific number that matters is K3 topping Arena's Frontend Code leaderboard. Code is the most commercially useful benchmark because it's what most products actually run on. If you're building something where the AI writes the code, you're about to have a free option that performs near the best paid one.
The chip stock story and the open weights story are the same story. The argument for $725 billion in hardware spend was always that you need the chips to run the best models. K3 makes that harder to say. So does DeepSeek V4. So does whatever drops the week after. The commodity wall just moved again.
