happy hump day✨
gm legends and welcome back to another fine edition of the Leaderboard. in today's issue we've got: a look into Elon's new baby (no, not that one, I mean Grok 3), a tool that speeds up localisation for developers, and an AI that does things and does those things well.
Smarter, Faster, Mashup-ier
Grok 3 is xAI’s latest AI model, positioned as a competitor to GPT-4o and DeepSeek V3. Elon Musk claims it leads in math, science, and coding benchmarks, with ‘Deep Search’ for real-time web access and ten times the compute power of Grok 2. A key focus is its ability to blend ideas, like merging Tetris and Bejeweled into a single game
🔥 Our Take: AI models are always "better than ever," but what actually matters is where they win. Grok 3 claims top marks in math, science, and coding, but the real standout is its ability to mix concepts—like merging two games into one. That’s a step toward more creative AI, but flashy demos don’t equal real-world use.
Skip the spreadsheets, ship the code
Lingo.dev is an AI-powered localization engine that transforms weeks of manual translation into automated pull requests. Designed by developers for developers, it delivers authentic translations by understanding UI elements' placement and context.
🔥 Our Take: Localization always starts off easy until you’re buried in spreadsheets and weirdly translated buttons. Lingo.dev wants to fix that by automating the whole process and handling translations like code. If it actually understands context instead of just swapping words, it could save developers a lot of headaches.
An AI that actually does stuff
Proxy 1.0 is an AI assistant built to take action, not just provide answers. Instead of relying on API integrations, it interacts with websites directly by clicking buttons, filling out forms, and navigating interfaces like a human. It can automate tasks across tools like Jira, GitHub, and LinkedIn, handling everything from PR summaries to job searches and outbound sales
🔥 Our Take: We’ve seen plenty of AI assistants promise automation, but most still leave you doing half the work. Proxy’s “just log in and let it go” approach is ambitious, but the web is messy—buttons move, layouts break, and captchas exist. If it can keep up without constant babysitting, it could be a real time-saver.
Here's what's hot 🔥
Here's what's happening on Product Hunt Forums this week with everything from AMAs with amazing founders to questioning what AI is doing to our brains.

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.
