👋 Hey all, this is Alex, coming to you from the very Sunny California, as I'm in SF again, while there is a complete snow storm back home in Denver (brrr).I flew here for the Hackathon I kept telling you about, and it was glorious, we had over 400 registered, over 200 approved hackers, 21 teams submitted incredible projects 👏 You can follow some of these hereI then decided to stick around and record the show from SF, and finally pulled the plug and asked for some budget, and I present, the first

Hey everyone, Happy Halloween! Alex here, coming to you live from my mad scientist lair! For the first ever, live video stream of ThursdAI, I dressed up as a mad scientist and had my co-host, Fester the AI powered Skeleton join me (as well as my usual cohosts haha) in a very energetic and hopefully entertaining video stream! Since it's Halloween today, Fester (and I) have a very busy schedule, so no super length ThursdAI news-letter today, as we're still not in the realm of Gemini being able to

Hey all, Alex here, coming to you from the (surprisingly) sunny Seattle, with just a mind-boggling week of releases. Really, just on Tuesday there was so much news already! I had to post a recap thread, something I do usually after I finish ThursdAI! From Anthropic reclaiming close-second sometimes-first AI lab position + giving Claude the wheel in the form of computer use powers, to more than 3 AI video generation updates with open source ones, to Apple updating Apple Intelligence beta, it's

Hey folks, Alex here from Weights & Biases, and this week has been absolutely bonkers. From robots walking among us to rockets landing on chopsticks (well, almost), the future is feeling palpably closer. And if real-world robots and reusable spaceship boosters weren't enough, the open-source AI community has been cooking, dropping new models and techniques faster than a Starship launch. So buckle up, grab your space helmet and noise-canceling headphones (we’ll get to why those are important!), and

Hey Folks, we are finally due for a "relaxing" week in AI, no more HUGE company announcements (if you don't consider Meta Movie Gen huge), no conferences or dev days, and some time for Open Source projects to shine. (while we all wait for Opus 3.5 to shake things up) This week was very multimodal on the show, we covered 2 new video models, one that's tiny and is open source, and one massive from Meta that is aiming for SORA's crown, and 2 new VLMs, one from our friends at REKA that understands

Hey, it's Alex. Ok, so mind is officially blown. I was sure this week was going to be wild, but I didn't expect everyone else besides OpenAI to pile on, exactly on ThursdAI. Coming back from Dev Day (number 2) and am still processing, and wanted to actually do a recap by humans, not just the NotebookLM one I posted during the keynote itself (which was awesome and scary in a "will AI replace me as a podcaster" kind of way), and was incredible to have Simon Willison who was sitting just behind me most

Hey folks, Alex here, back with another ThursdAI recap – and let me tell you, this week's episode was a whirlwind of open-source goodness, mind-bending inference techniques, and a whole lotta talk about talking AIs! We dove deep into the world of LLMs, from Alibaba's massive Qwen 2.5 drop to the quirky, real-time reactions of Moshi. We even got a sneak peek at Nous Research's ambitious new project, Forge, which promises to unlock some serious LLM potential. So grab your pumpkin spice latte (it's

March 14th, 2023 was the day ThursdAI was born, it was also the day OpenAI released GPT-4, and I jumped into a Twitter space and started chaotically reacting together with other folks about what a new release of a paradigm shifting model from OpenAI means, what are the details, the new capabilities. Today, it happened again! Hey, it's Alex, I'm back from my mini vacation (pic after the signature) and boy am I glad I decided to not miss September 12th!

Hold on tight, folks, because THIS week on ThursdAI felt like riding a roller coaster through the wild world of open-source AI - extreme highs, mind-bending twists, and a sprinkle of "wtf is happening?" conspiracy theories for good measure. 😂 Theme of this week is, Open Source keeps beating GPT-4, while we're inching towards intelligence too cheap to meter on the API fronts. We even had a live demo so epic, folks at the Large Hadron Collider are taking notice! Plus, strawberry shenanigans abound
