About ThursdAI

The weekly show that keeps AI builders ahead of the curve.

ThursdAI started as a weekly X Space and grew into one of the most trusted sources for AI news in the builder community. Every Thursday at 8:30 AM PT, Alex Volkov goes live with a rotating panel of researchers, engineers, and founders to break down what actually matters.

No hype. No fluff. Just the signal — model releases, research breakthroughs, open source updates, and the real implications for people building with AI every day.

The show is also available as an edited podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and as a detailed weekly newsletter on Substack with links, analysis, and community discussion.

From Weights & Biases — presented for the community of AI builders who need to stay sharp without drowning in noise.

Your Host

Alex Volkov is an AI Evangelist at Weights & Biases, CEO of Targum.video, and an independent AI consultant. Born on a Thursday (naturally), he's been running ThursdAI since 2023, building it from a small X Space into one of the most-followed weekly AI shows.

Alex bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and practical application — whether he's interviewing the team behind a new frontier model or helping a company figure out their AI strategy.
