   SpaceX launches Grok 4.5 AI model for coding, undercutting Anthropic on price

   SpaceX on Wednesday launched Grok 4.5, an AI model trained across tens of thousands of Nvidia GB300 graphics processing units, immediately available through SpaceXAI's coding agent Grok Build, Cursor, and the SpaceXAI console via API key. Grok 4.5 is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens—significantly cheaper than Anthropic's Claude Opus at $5 and $25 per million respectively—positioning SpaceXAI to compete for enterprise AI tools customers as Elon Musk integrates the xAI startup he acquired in February into SpaceX operations.

   EU availability is expected in mid-July; Musk claims Grok 4.5 is faster and more token-efficient than competing Opus-class models, though OpenAI is launching its own advanced model GPT-5.6 Luna on Thursday at $1 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens.

   Lumentum CEO: AI data centers are shifting from copper to fiber optics

   Lumentum Holdings Inc. CEO Michael Hurlston said in June that the company has benefited from a rapid shift from copper to fiber optics inside AI data centers. The transition to fiber optics in data center infrastructure suggests a structural change in how AI workloads are being built, which can affect equipment makers and infrastructure providers serving the sector.

   Lumentum was named one of the 15 Best Stocks to Buy for the Second Half of 2026, indicating investor confidence in the company's position in this shift.

   NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra Matches Top Closed Models at 10x Lower Cost

   LangChain tuned its Deep Agents orchestration platform for NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra and achieved the highest accuracy among open models on LangChain's Deep Agents benchmark, with business task parity to leading closed models—without retraining the model itself. The gains came from engineering the environment (system prompts, tool descriptions, middleware) around the model. Enterprises can now run AI agents at a tenth of the cost of leading closed models, enabling teams to run evaluations continuously and experiment faster while maintaining full control over an open stack they can customize, own and run anywhere. Companies like Abridge, Amdocs, Box and EY are already embedding specialized agents into their platforms.

   The tuned Nemotron 3 Ultra profile is available now directly through LangChain, and developers can access the model on Baseten, Crusoe Cloud, DeepInfra, Fireworks, Nebius and Together AI. The NVIDIA NemoClaw for LangChain Deep Agents blueprint packages this work as an open reference for enterprises building their own specialized AI systems.

   GitHub Copilot CLI automates DNS setup for custom domains in 14 minutes

   A developer used GitHub Copilot CLI paired with a Namecheap skill to automatically configure DNS records for a GitHub Pages site on a custom domain, completing the entire process—from domain purchase through HTTPS verification—in approximately 14 minutes without manually editing any DNS records. DNS configuration has traditionally been a frustrating, error-prone step that discourages developers from setting up custom domains. By automating the repetitive work while keeping the developer in control of approvals, this workflow removes a significant friction point in shipping side projects and small sites.

   The domain (ghpagesblog.click) cost USD $2.00; the workflow is not limited to Namecheap—any registrar with an API can be used by pointing Copilot CLI at that registrar's API documentation. The full session is available as a gist for reference.
