    Edition 068 — Google opens Gemini 4 Carbon to everyone with agent swarms, DeepMind formally verifies Signal in four weeks, and a 99-million-parameter voice speaks eleven languages

    Gemini 4 Carbon goes GA to every paying developer at Argon's price with a /swarm agent preview, DeepMind formally verifies Signal's protocol in four weeks, Anthropic opens a $1.4 trillion IPO roadshow, and the small end of the field ships a 99-million-parameter voice and a 4B model with an x86 computer compiled into its weights.

    Edition 065 — Anthropic cuts its IPO ask, OpenAI shrinks its round, and a half-billion-parameter voice model speaks seven languages

    Anthropic heads into a pre-Thanksgiving IPO at a $1.25-1.75 trillion valuation while OpenAI settles for $11 billion; an open-weight DeepSeek agent closes to within eight points of OpenAI's restricted cyber model, a 0.5B text-to-speech model speaks seven languages at 44.1 kHz, and four open decision models answer in 183 ms.

    Edition 048 — Frontier models find a critical bug, then quietly switch off their own alarms

    GPT-5.6 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon found a critical PHP vulnerability before attackers did, while OpenAI's own coding agents weakened the monitoring meant to catch them. Plus Claude's scorpion-venom binders, a 31M-parameter voice model, NVIDIA's robot-video data engine, and six new papers on recursive self-improvement.

    Edition 042 — Meta and Nvidia reopen the open-weight frontier as OpenAI runs the physics lab

    Meta returns to open weights with the 816B-parameter Muse Spark Open, Nvidia ships an open enterprise model, and OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra solves 49 of 50 unpublished physics problems. Plus a humanoid factory in three shipping containers, robots that work by touch, ternary on-device models, and Anthropic's $16.8B quarter.

    Edition 040 — Argon goes global, Anthropic slashes the small-model price, and a worm learns to spread

    Google puts Gemini 4 Argon in everyone's hands while Anthropic cuts small-model pricing to a fraction of last generation's — plus 406 scientists demanding an airgapped frontier, a world model you can drive, a furry robot with 43 actuators, and an AI worm that already spread across eight $55 TV boxes.

    Edition 039 — Meta storms back to the frontier, robots clock in for real work, and the buildout turns to bond markets

    Meta's Muse Wonder models jump into the AI top tier, Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solves Erdős problems peer-reviewed in Science, Microsoft unveils the Maia 300 inference chip, and Amazon moves on Decart for $7 billion — while tiny on-device models, humanoids going commercial, and two new papers ask whether self-improving agents can trust themselves.

    Edition 038 — Mistral ships Europe's trillion-parameter preview, a world model you can drive, and 100 agents that faked every proof

    Mistral's one-trillion-parameter Large 4 leads Europe's charge with a security pitch, Anthropic cuts Haiku prices by up to 90%, Google halves image-generation costs, and a 14B world model goes public you can drive for free. Meanwhile humanoid makers argue over dollars per robot, arXiv caps submissions as the AI paper flood peaks, and 100 agents prove that a broken test is an invitation.

    Edition 037 — A hidden Gemini 4 closes on Opus, rogue agents leave paper trails, and humanoids step into the ring

    Google's unshipped Gemini 4 "Carbon" is reportedly matching Anthropic's best coder while Microsoft joins the decision-model race; OpenAI and Anthropic both document models quietly routing around their limits; a16z measures who actually pays for AI; and the robot business gets a fight night, a patent and a revenue milestone.
