Chen Goldberg (CoreWeave) on the AI loop, Forge and infrastructure for agents
Recorded right after her Fully Connected keynote: CoreWeave Forge, the run, observe, curate, improve, evaluate loop, and what the Kubernetes years teach us about agents.
OpenAI's 722 Math Papers, Claude Haiku 5.5 & GPT-6 for Everyone — ThursdAI Oct 8, 2026
From CoreWeave: GPT-6 is free for everyone, open weights hit 1T params, an agent leaked its owner’s bank balance to Slack, Peter broke Arena’s 200M raise live, and Maxime Labonne on decision models.
OpenAI Joins the Assistant Race, GPT-6.1 Sol & Serverless GPUs — ThursdAI Oct 1, 2026
From CoreWeave: GPT-6.1 Sol is near-Astra for a fifth of the price, Sonnet 5.5 beats Opus on Terminal-Bench, Gemini 4 Argon tops the charts, and we went LIVE from Fully Connected.
Opus 5.5 is your new workhorse! OpenAI ships GPT 6 Sol and Luna before DevDay and Meta goes all in on Muse! Your friday read is here
From CoreWeave: Opus 5.5 is back and 40% cheaper, GPT-6 halves prices, Grok orders Starbucks from your Tesla, and Google clones your voice in 30 seconds
TypeSafe’s Jev System 1 Model, Pacing the Frontier & AI Assistants — ThursdAI Sep 17, 2026
From CoreWeave - 3 huge themes this week, one makes AI decisions 400 faster, one brings AI to your mom and one... slows down frontier AI pacing
OpenAI's Navier-Stokes Claim, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash & Meta Muse — ThursdAI Sep 10, 2026
A 10,000-agent swarm claims a Millennium Prize problem, DeepSeek shrinks the KV cache 400x and puts a frontier-class coder under MIT, Meta ships a free 24/7 agent with its own computer, and one resignation post gives AI doomerism its biggest week in years. With Chris Alexiuk (NVIDIA) on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash.
GPT-6 Astra Special: Welcome to AGI — ThursdAI Sep 3, 2026 (Part 2)
Sorry for the double email, but there was so much news this week, I decided to split the newsletter/pod into two parts. This one is all about GPT-6 Astra.
Fable 5.1 & Mythos 5.1, Muse Spark 1.3 Ties Fable 5, World Labs Atlas — ThursdAI Sep 3, 2026
From Weights & Biases & CoreWeave: Every frontier lab shipped a .1 before OpenAI could ship GPT-6, so we covered all of them, then GPT-6 Astra dropped in the middle of the show and got its own episode
NVIDIA Reportedly Buys Hugging Face, GLM-5.3-Flash & Qwen4 Preview — ThursdAI Aug 27, 2026
From CoreWeave - join Alex and ThursdAI co-host, covering the last week of the summer in AI, with 4 Flash models, Datacenter debate & more AI news
OpenAI Pauses RL, Stripe Buys OpenRouter & GLM-5.3 — ThursdAI Aug 20, 2026
From CoreWeave: a chill week, 2 AI model releases and 3 interviews!
Grok 4.6, Grok Bot & DeepSeek V4 Pro GA — ThursdAI Aug 13, 2026
From Coreweave: Listen to this week's ThursdAI with guests from NVIDIA, Artificial Analysis and Cursor/SpaceXAI
ThursdAI - Aug 06 - Google shakeup, Details on OpenAI hack, 2 new agent harnesses, 4 video models (1 Open) and 3 guest segments
From CoreWeave - big week in AI, 4 video models, with one open weights, 4 guests on the show, and details of the OpenAI hack + Google DeepMind departures
This Week in AI: Open Weights, Frontier Models, Sandbox Escapes, Voice & AI Detection
From CoreWeave: Alex is back to cover a crazy end of July week, with Kimi K3, Opus 5, 3 open letters, one asking for pacing AI progress and 3 guests! Tune in
ThursdAI Special - OpenAI's Romain Huet on Codex's 5M users, GPT-5.6 & the Golden Age of AI Engineering
Kimi K3 launched at 2.8T parameters, an OpenAI model escaped its cyber-eval sandbox, Gemini 3.6 Flash and FLUX 3 shipped, and an 87-year-old math conjecture fell to Claude Fable 5 — covered on the live show guest-hosted by Yam Peleg. Plus Alex's road-trip special: OpenAI's Romain Huet on Codex's 5M weekly users, how Alex actually uses AI day to day, and an Insecure Agents crossover with Allie Howe.
ThursdAI - Jul 16 - Inkling 975B open weights, Kimi K3 at 2.8T, a 27B model on a phone & Codex hits 9M
Kimi K3 went from rumor to a live 2.8-trillion-parameter API launch in the middle of the show, right after Thinking Machines' 975B Inkling and PrismML's phone-sized Bonsai 27B pushed open weights back toward the frontier. Also breaking: OpenAI confirmed the $HOME-deleting GPT-5.6 Sol bug and shipped its first hardware, while xAI got caught uploading private repos before open-sourcing its Grok Build CLI. Guest-hosted by Wolfram Ravenwolf.
AI WorldCup (or superbowl?) GPT-5.6 lands mid-show, Zuck returns to X for Muse Spark 1.1, GPT-Live talks while it listens & Grok 4.5 trained with Cursor, Fable extended - ThursdAI - Jul 9, 2026
GPT-5.6 went public in the middle of the show after a government-gated preview. Breaking on air: Meta's Muse Spark 1.1 with the first paid Meta API, Reve 2.1 taking #2 on the Arena, and Anthropic's Fable limit reset. Plus GPT-Live full-duplex demos and the four-model Infographic Arena.
ThursdAI - July 2 - LIVE from AI Engineer World's Fair 🎪 Long LIVE
Broadcasting live for 2.5 hours from the middle of the Moscone expo floor: Fable 5 is back, a ThursdAI-record 9 guests, local.ai announced, GPT-5.6 (Sol/Terra/Luna), Darya's on-air debut, and Swyx closes the show.
GLM 5.2 total victory: the week open source won and nobody panicked
A chill summer week where open source did not chill: GLM 5.2 turned into a real DeepSeek moment, Sakana Fugu wrapped frontier agents behind one API, Claude moved into Slack, and Sean Grove explained the 10,000-agent-hour company.
Fable Got Banned, Open Source Delivered: GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.7 & SpaceX Buys Cursor - June 18
GLM‑5.2 and Kimi K2.7 Code filled the Fable-shaped hole, while Cursor sold for $60B, W&B launched HiveMind, HumanLayer drew a line against code slop, and Midjourney casually walked into medical hardware.
📅 ThursdAI - Jun 11, 2026 - Fable & Mythos 5 are here, Anthropic gets caught sandbagging (then reverses), Siri AI finally works!? and we got live-translated on air
Anthropic ships its first public Mythos-class model (and gets caught silently degrading it for ML research). Plus FrontierCode, WWDC's Gemini-powered Siri, DiffusionGemma at 1000 tok/s, and a packed guest lineup.
