From the shockwave of DeepSeek R1 to the "gradual" progress of GPT-5 and Gemini 3.0, we break down the tech, the data, (and the drama). We discuss why 2025 became the "Year of the Idea Guy" rather than the "Year of General Agents," analyze the Great Minds of AI (from Ilya’s return to research to Dario’s scaling maximalism), and look at what the betting markets say about the bubble bursting. Finally, we make our own predictions on what 2026 holds for the industry....

Around the PromptSimon Willison: The Future of Open Source and AIIn this conversation, Simon Willison discusses the intersection of AI, Open Source, and journalism, emphasizing the importance of tools like Dataset in enhancing data journalism. He reflects on his journey from developing Django to his current work with AI, highlighting the role of open source in software development. Willison shares insights on how AI can augment human capabilities rather than replace them, and he expresses concerns about the future of AI, particularly regarding AGI. The discussion also touches on the evolving landscape of programming and the need for better onboarding processes for new developers.

ThursdAI - The top AI news from the past week📅 ThursdAI - Oct 24 - Claude 3.5 controls your PC?! Talking AIs with 🦾, Multimodal Weave, Video Models mania + more AI news from this 🔥 week.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 honestly been very hard to keep up, and again, this is literally part of my job!

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 of Dev Day...

Latent Space: The AI Engineer PodcastBuilding AGI in Real Time (OpenAI Dev Day 2024)We all have fond memories of the first Dev Day in 2023:and the blip that followed soon after. As Ben Thompson has noted, this year’s DevDay took a quieter, more intimate tone. No Satya, no livestream, (slightly fewer people?). Instead of putting ChatGPT announcements in DevDay as in 2023, o1 was announced 2 weeks prior, and DevDay 2024 was reserved purely for developer-facing API announcements, primarily the Realtime API, Vision Finetuning, Prompt Caching, and Model Distillation.However the larger venue and more spread out schedule did allow a lot more hallway conversations with at...

Simon lays out what prompt injection is and why it is so difficult to mitigate. They also cover major industry players (OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, Google), and the common mistake of confusing moderation, in the sense of not letting the model say bad things, with security, not letting an attack trigger the model into performing an action that leaks private data or triggers tools in the wrong way.
