  • best weekly AI summary you’ll get, especially for opensource

    Sorry for tooting my own horn here but this IS the best weekly recap of AI news because it includes criticism too often from the very people that build the models and tools.

    Doing this twitter space weekly with Alex for the last 10months has helped me personally remain competitive in whats going in AI and keep in close touch with the best researchers and builders in the world.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chill week with Qwen 27B and GLM 5.3 beating GPTs, OpenAI announces pausing RL to focus on security and a cancer vaccine being produced
Q: Can I use this with any type of Linux if you have some stuff that's very sandbox or very secure? Or is there a particular desktop environment that it needs?
CUA says background computer use on Linux is currently most mature with X11 rather than Wayland, which lacks a clear accessibility tree and coordinate system for this use case.

Q: What is the operating procedure here? How do people use this? Can they host completely their own Wiki, completely on their own, like many open-source community folks like, or is this a new entry into the cloud services area from Chroma, the company?
Foundations is a hosted research preview that connects agent sessions and tools to shared memory. Chroma plans to open-source more components over time, but the complete system is not open source yet.

Q: How far away are we from this future where a robot, I don't have to like train it on how to clean my house?
Alfeld says household robots can already perform some simple tasks, but they remain slow and home environments are highly variable. He expects industrial robots to reach useful deployments sooner, while home robotics could advance quickly as the technology improves.

Q: Where is the difference between LLMs just getting visual input to vision and action models?
Richard Alfeld says that physical AI must translate visual understanding into real-world action, coordinating multiple actuators to move a robot in three-dimensional space.
Claude now leads 26% of Anthropic’s R&D, Meta drops an 816B open model & Gemini 4 Argon
Q: We'd love to hear from you, Nathan, how this takes shape between last year and this year. People do talk about RSI being a thing, people do talk about models, whether or not we're going to hit this. What are you seeing from there? What are the report says about RSI and continued improvement by the models?
Nathan says the report identifies rapid self-improvement as a major development. He cites Claude guiding 26 percent of Anthropic's core model research directions and an experiment in which researchers preferred suggestions from a Mythos-class model to the human research path 60 percent of the time.
