Next.js Conf returns Oct 22

Next.js Conf 2025 is taking place this October 22, both in person in San Francisco, as well as online. We’re expecting the launch of Next.js 16, plus a stable release of all the new caching features Vercel’s been polishing over the past few months

 

Middleware Now Stable in React Router

The middleware feature is now stable in React Router 7.9.0 via the future.v8_middleware flag. Here’s a look at the problems it can solve, and the patterns it unlocks.

 
React won by default, and it's killing frontend innovation

A look at how React is no longer winning on technical merit but because it’s the default choice. The author argues this reflex decision is creating a monoculture that hurts the entire web development ecosystem.

 

TanStack Start v1 Release Candidate

First appearing on our radar a year ago, TanStack’s attempt at a full-stack TanStack Router-powered framework has reached a v1.0 release candidate that’s expected to be largely the same as its eventual 1.0 release. We’ll let it sell itself: “it’s the next chapter in building type-safe, high-performance React apps without the heavy abstractions.”

 

React Old Icons: 2000+ Classic Vintage Icons

I’m not sure where or how you’d use it, but I enjoyed the nostalgia trip none-the-less. It’s a component library giving access to thousands of icons from a variety of vintage operating systems (e.g. Windows 95) and apps. The ownership of said icons will require you to be careful with their usage, however. GitHub repo.

 

eslint-plugin-react-you-might-not-need-an-effect

What a project name! It’s an ESLint plugin to catch unnecessary useEffects which you might well be overusing.

Apple's New M5 Ultra
For years, running a serious AI model locally meant accepting a compromise. You got privacy and control, but nowhere near the memory or speed of the cloud. Apple just pushed that trade-off much further with M5 Ultra: its most powerful chip ever, inside a Mac Studio that can hold up to 512GB of unified memory and cluster with other machines for distributed AI inference. That makes local AI infra...
Grok 4.6 is unusually cheap for a frontier model
The biggest surprise in the new Grok release is not the benchmark chart. It is the price. SpaceXAI has released Grok 4.6 for long-running agents, coding and knowledge work, starting at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. SpaceXAI positions it as a frontier model, and its standard API price is unusually low compared with the flagship models it is trying to compete with....
OpenAI’s upcoming model Astra could be its biggest AI breakthrough yet
OpenAI has finally named what comes after GPT-5.6 Sol. It is called Astra, and OpenAI is describing it as its “next major model.” It is not publicly available yet, and there is no confirmed release date. But the first official evidence of its capability is already here. This is not another chart showing a model scored a few points higher on a benchmark. OpenAI says an internal Astra model gener...
