← AI News AI News Behind Latent Space: Kill My SaaS, Jev & AI in 2026 | AIEi Shanghai November 3, 2026 — A quiet day lets us share some behind the senes. There’s a lot of dispute to yesterday’s title story on “ Weight Space Programming ” — and we agree that some of the claims are presented in overly favorable light and overall took away from the impact of…
Whether developed by OpenAI or Anthropic or built on open source alternatives, current AI models share a critical limitation: They don’t learn from their mistakes without further training. Businesses adapting these models for specialized fields, such as law and finance, typically get around this by fine-tuning general models.
We continue our series about recursive self-improvement. We discuss another robotics company.
← AI News AI News Google admits AI Mode hurts Search revenue; -15% $500B drop worst since 2004 IPO. AI Bear Market coming?
Google Suncatcher’s prototype space data center is online and communicating with the ground after launching earlier this month alongside more than 100 other spacecraft on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The satellite, which carries four Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and generates up to 1 kW of electricity, is intended to pave the way for future networks…
Today on Decoder , I’m joined by Joey Brookhart, an analyst at the chip and AI research firm SemiAnalysis, to help me dig into the story inside the numbers of the Anthropic IPO filing — a document known as an S-1. Anthropic just filed its S-1 to go public on the Nasdaq, and it could start trading as soon as next month at a valuation of anywhere between…
← AI News AI News Gemini 4 Carbon tops leaderboards, launches for cyber defenders Google’s new frontier model leads independent evals, with access initially limited to trusted defenders. It’s a good thing we published our Opus 5.5 podcast calling it the world’s best model before today’s launch.
This month Elorian launched its first visual reasoning model , Glimpse . It’s being promoted as “a new category of visual thinking model: a system that reasons about the physical world from what it sees.” So how does Glimpse compare to both frontier models and world models in vision tests?
Google parent company Alphabet says that its AI investments are leading to a big growth in searches year-over-year, as noted in its Q3 2026 earnings today . “Our AI investments are driving overall Search query growth, including commercial queries,” CEO Sundar Pichai says in a statement.

Google DeepMind released its newest world model, Genie 4, in research preview on Tuesday. The latest model generates the most photorealistic and interactive worlds yet, allowing users to type prompts mid-simulation to change the scene.
Today, I’m talking to Kevin Roose, journalist and author of the new book The AGI Chronicles , which details the recent and explosive transformation of the AI industry. Kevin was a longtime New York Times reporter and host of the popular podcast Hard Fork , but he and friend of the show Casey Newton just left the Times to start the all-new tech podcast…

AI is being tested on doing AI research Top models could not reinvent a recent AI method Epoch AI tested whether AI agents can come up with a new machine learning technique on their own . The agents had to improve a small open model and match a training method published by human researchers that the agents had not seen.
What the AI labs did this week Small models are months from copying themselves onto home devices A report from Anthropic's Frontier Red Team says small AI models may be months away from being able to copy themselves onto internet-connected devices like smart fridges, smart ovens and off-brand Android TV boxes. Models of 30 billion parameters or less can…
Today, I’m talking to Bill Gates, cofounder and former CEO of Microsoft and chairman of the Gates Foundation. You may have noticed Bill in the news more lately — he’s been on something of a tour for the past few months, ever since publishing an essay in late August titled “The turbulent AI era is here.

The agents did die 605 times, even on Easy, and about half the run was spent…
Robots still aren’t that good at picking things up, despite billions of dollars of investment and endless videos fed into deep learning models. That may be about to change, thanks to a manipulation architecture built by Eka Robotics, which encompasses a force-sensitive gripper and a new kind of deep-learning model.
Congrats to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017, MiniMax M3.1 Flash, and Mercury 3 (details below) but they’re not going to be in super wide use just yet. We are starting to announce AIE CODE speakers, so if you haven’t applied to attend the most selective gathering of top agentic engineers in SF (and the most popular livestreamed AIE format of 2025), you should do…
Two of New York’s sweethearts, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and activist and “Broad City” star Ilana Glazer, spoke about AI at Webster Hall in Manhattan on Monday night, with Glazer posing questions to the mayor about the future of AI in society. Mamdani encouraged New Yorkers to resist the overwhelming feeling that AI is inevitably coming for their jobs, their…
