Hey folks, this is Alex, coming to you LIVE from the AI Engineer Worlds Fair! What an incredible episode this week, we recorded live from floor 30th at the Marriott in SF, while Yam was doing live correspondence from the floor of the AI Engineer event, all while Swyx, the cohost of Latent Space podcast, and the creator of AI Engineer (both the conference and the concept itself) joined us for the whole stream - here’s the edited version, please take a look. We've had around 6500 people tune in, and

Hey everyone, Alex here 👋Welcome back to another absolutely wild week in AI! I'm coming to you live from the Fontainebleau Hotel in Vegas at the Imagine AI conference, and wow, what a perfect setting to discuss how AI is literally reimagining our world. After last week's absolute explosion of releases (Claude Opus 4, Google I/O madness, OpenAI Codex and Jony colab), this week gave us a chance to breathe... sort of. Because even in a "quiet" week, we still got a new DeepSeek model that's pushing

Hey folks, Alex here, welcome back to ThursdAI! And folks, after the last week was the calm before the storm, "The storm came, y'all" – that's an understatement. This wasn't just a storm; it was an AI hurricane, a category 5 of announcements that left us all reeling (in the best way possible!). From being on the ground at Google I/O to live-watching Anthropic drop Claude 4 during our show, it's been an absolute whirlwind.This week was so packed, it felt like AI Christmas, with tech giants and

Hey yall, this is Alex 👋What a wild week, it started super slow, and it still did feel slow as releases are concerned, but the most interesting story was yet another AI gone "rogue" (have you even heard about "kill the boar", if not, Grok will tell you all about it) Otherwise it seemed fairly quiet in AI land this week, besides another Chinese newcomer called AM-thinking 32B that beats DeepSeek and Qwen, and Stability making a small comeback, we focused on distributed LLM training and ChatGPT

Hey folks, Alex here (yes, real me, not my AI avatar, yet)Compared to previous weeks, this week was pretty "chill" in the world of AI, though we did get a pretty significant Gemini 2.5 Pro update, it basically beat itself on the Arena. With Mistral releasing a new medium model (not OSS) and Nvidia finally dropping Nemotron Ultra (both ignoring Qwen 3 performance) there was also a few open source updates. To me the highlight of this week was a breakthrough in AI Avatars, with Heygen's new IV model,

Hey everyone, Alex here 👋Welcome back to ThursdAI! And wow, what a week. Seriously, strap in, because the AI landscape just went through some seismic shifts. We're talking about a monumental open-source release from Alibaba with Qwen 3 that has everyone buzzing (including us!), Microsoft dropping Phi-4 with Reasoning, a rather poignant farewell to a legend (RIP GPT-4 – we'll get to the wake shortly), major drama around ChatGPT's "glazing" incident and the subsequent rollback, updates from LlamaCon,

Hey everyone, Alex here 👋Welcome back to ThursdAI! After what felt like ages of non-stop, massive model drops (looking at you, O3 and GPT-4!), we finally got that "chill week" we've been dreaming of since maybe... forever? It seems the big labs are taking a breather, probably gearing up for even bigger things next week (maybe some open source 👀).But "chill" doesn't mean empty! This week was packed with fascinating developments, especially in the open source world and with long-awaited API

Hey everyone, Alex here 👋Wow. Just… wow. What a week, folks. Seriously, this has been one for the books. This week was dominated by OpenAI's double whammy: first the GPT-4.1 family dropped with a mind-boggling 1 million token context window, followed swiftly by the new flagship reasoning models, o3 and o4-mini, which are already blowing minds with their agentic capabilities. We also saw significant moves from Google with VEO-2 going GA, the fascinating A2A protocol launch (we had an amazing

I was hoping that this week will be chill with the releases, because of NVIDIA's GTC conference, but no, the AI world doesn't stop, and if you blinked this week, you may have missed 2 or 10 major things that happened. From Mistral coming back to OSS with the amazing Mistral Small 3.1 (beating Gemma from last week!) to OpenAI dropping a new voice generation model, and 2! new whisper

I really really enjoyed today's episode, I feel like I can post it unedited it was so so good. We started the show with our good friend Junyang Lin from Alibaba Qwen, where he told us about their new 32B reasoner QwQ. Then we interviewed Google's VP of the search product, Robby Stein, who came and told us about their upcoming AI mode in Google! I got access and played with it, and

As we were about to start recording, OpenAI teased GPT 4.5 live stream, and we already had a very busy show lined up (Claude 3.7 vibes are immaculate, Grok got an unhinged voice mode) and I had an interview with Kevin Hou from Windsurf scheduled!

We dove deep into OpenAI's new "Deep Research" agent – and let me tell you, it's not just hype, it's legitimately revolutionary.

Hey folks, Alex here 👋It’s official—grandmas (and the entire stock market) now know about DeepSeek. If you’ve been living under an AI rock, DeepSeek’s new R1 model just set the world on fire, rattling Wall Street (causing the biggest monetary loss for any company, ever!) and rocketing to #1 on the iOS App Store.

Plus, OpenAI finally pulled the trigger on "Operator," their agentic browser thingy – though getting it to actually operate proved to be a bit of a live show adventure, as you'll hear.
