Matiks secures $10M to let anyone build AI-powered puzzle games
Matiks has secured $10 million to let anyone build AI-powered puzzle games, no coding required. The platform removes a traditional barrier, placing game creation directly in the hands of people who have ideas but lack technical depth. That's a smart bet on accessibility over complexity. For a deeper look at how different AI models handle real work like this, our test of GPT-6 Astra, Gemini 4 Argon, and Claude Opus 5.5 is worth exploring.
Testing 49 LLMs on Nonograms Reveals Where AI Logic Still Falls Short
Nonograms look like simple logic puzzles, but they've exposed a sharp limit in how today's best AI models reason. Nonobench tested 49 LLMs on these grid puzzles, giving each model the clues once and letting it fill the full grid in one attempt, no tools, no retries. Solve rates dropped fast as grids grew: 85% on 5x5 puzzles fell to just 20% on 15x15. Even GPT-6 Astra solved all 30 standard puzzles, but on hard mode, Claude Opus 5.
The financial data your startup needs before you pitch investors
Raising a billion dollars sounds like the finish line, but Sasha Orloff knows it's really about the starting block. On this episode of Build Mode, he gets honest about what VCs actually want: founders who know their financials cold. Waiting until the bank account is nearly empty is a gamble that can cost you leverage, valuation, and the term sheet itself. Messy data and misunderstood metrics are the real dealbreakers. It's a grounded, practical conversation for anyone tired of the fundraising guesswork.
