Hey everyone, Alex here 👋 Welcome back to ThursdAI! And folks, what an absolutely insane week it's been in the world of AI.

Hey, it's Alex, coming to you fresh off another live recording of ThursdAI, and what an incredible one it's been! 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

What is UP folks! Alex here from Weights & Biases (yeah, still, but check this weeks buzz section below for some news!) 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

Hey all, Alex here 👋What can I say, the weeks are getting busier , and this is one of those "crazy full" weeks in AI. 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! Let's dive in! 🔥 GPT 4.5 (ORION) is here - worlds largest LLM (10x GPT4o) OpenAI has finally shipped their next .5 model, which is 10x

This week has been an absolute whirlwind of announcements, from XAI's Grok 3 dropping like a bomb, to Figure robots learning to hand each other things, and even a little eval smack-talk between OpenAI and XAI. It’s enough to make your head spin – but that's what ThursdAI is here for. We sift through the chaos and bring you the need-to-know, so you can stay on the

What a week in AI, folks! Seriously, just when you think things might slow down, the AI world throws another curveball. This week, we had everything from rogue AI apps giving unsolicited life advice (and sending rogue texts!), to mind-blowing open source releases that are pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and of course, the ever-present drama of the big AI companies with OpenAI dropping a roadmap that has everyone scratching their heads.Buckle up, because on this week's ThursdAI, we dove

What's up friends, Alex here, back with another ThursdAI hot off the presses.Hold onto your hats because this week was another whirlwind of AI breakthroughs, mind-blowing demos, and straight-up game-changers. We dove deep into OpenAI's new "Deep Research" agent – and let me tell you, it's not just hype, it's legitimately revolutionary. You also don't have to take my word for it, a new friend of the pod and a scientist DR Derya Unutmaz joined us to discuss his experience with Deep Research as a

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. This week’s ThursdAI show took us on a deep (pun intended) dive into the dizzying whirlwind of open-source AI breakthroughs, agentic mayhem, and big-company cat-and-mouse announcements

We're talking seismic shifts in the open source world, a potential game-changer from DeepSeek AI that's got everyone buzzing, and oh yeah, just a casual $500 BILLION infrastructure project announcement. 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.

Hey everyone, Alex here 👋 Welcome back, to an absolute banger of a week in AI releases, highlighted with just massive Open Source AI push. We're talking a MASSIVE 4M context window context window model from Hailuo (remember when a jump from 4K to 16K seemed like a big deal?), a 8B omni model that lets you livestream video and glimpses of Agentic ChatGPT? This week's ThursdAI was jam-packed with so much open source goodness that the big companies were practically silent. But don't worry, we still

Hey everyone, Alex here 👋This week's ThursdAI was a whirlwind of announcements, from Microsoft finally dropping Phi-4's official weights on Hugging Face (a month late, but who's counting?) to Sam Altman casually mentioning that OpenAI's got AGI in the bag and is now setting its sights on superintelligence. Oh, and NVIDIA? They're casually releasing a $3,000 supercomputer that can run 200B parameter models on your desktop. No big deal.We had some amazing guests this week too, with Oliver joining us
