METR's capability ledger is being split into two accounts: how much of the acceleration belongs to AI working on AI, and whether a larger pretraining run explains the same jump, while the dollars required per unit of progress look worse. Compute talk has shifted from a named factory to power contracts, the share of compute that ends up in orbit, and what data centers do to household power bills. On the product side, an official account left a single word, and the unreleased model is still a routing observation rather than a release note. - **Chollet answers Sutton: scaling multiplies a method** — François Chollet takes up Richard Sutton's claim that brute-force computation is not enough for intelligence and that smarter methods are required. His distinction is that data scaling and compute scaling multiply the generalization of some method. They are not intelligence itself.

Toby Ord's objection is that METR has not ruled out a different cause: a step change from a larger Mythos pretraining run. Others say he misread the report.

The Terafab name is absent today. In its place: Page's 99.999%, a 100 GW-per-year figure tied to about $1 trillion of revenue, a reported $3.4 billion generator purchase, and a 90-day clause read as a path to a 2–3x reprice.

What remains is a late comment on training efficiency. - **The revised S-1 loss language, and the slowdown in enterprise token spend to 1.5%** — Neither set of figures reappears today. - **The Ling-3.2-flash spec drop and Qoduck** — No release facts today. Qoduck is absent, and Ling shows up only as a late demo. - **GPT Image 2.6 GIFs and Higgsfield's layered video edits** — No follow-up today. ## Channel observations ### coding & agent Coding-agent news in this window is about scale, what a model is allowed to change, and whether the interface should be rebuilt for agents. Bloomberg's figure for DeepSeek's open-source Harness is 1.54 million daily users on the official API, less than three months after launch, while OpenAI doubled Codex quotas on two paid plans and an apiiro count put 1,122 public GitHub files on Claude Code's "Don't Ask Again" settings.

It is whether that strength is intelligence, what the speedup is actually buying, and which outside records — jobs, electricity, papers — agree with the lab narrative. Francois Chollet treats data and compute scaling as a multiplier on an approach's generalization, not as intelligence itself, and says smarter methods are what scale better.

He treats forty years of data as showing no productivity gain, and the exhibit he is quoted on is the path of global real GDP growth across those years.

The line that survives in the announcement is that transformative AI is advancing faster than the economic adjustment around it.

Engineers had pushed 220 percent more code when the next round was stopped.

Martin Casado's stated driver is regulation of data centers.

The tracing on offer is an AI pass over a 1959 article that merged "vegetative" and "electron microscopy" from adjacent columns.

Elliot Glazer's defense is that the repository's accumulated evidence goes well beyond a bare "trust me."

That is a reported challenge, not a claim that P versus NP has been settled.

With Frank Calegari, he wants written work judged as if it were AI-generated, and then judged only on whether it adds to the literature. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1b860b486061eb7c28e0f44c0?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1b860b486061eb7c28e0f44c0&content_type=post&f=dr) #### Disease, classrooms, and whether the thinking moved Demis Hassabis restated that AI will cure all diseases within 10 years and reverse aging in about 15. Veteran biomedical scientists are not buying the cure-all; the objection that is still on the page is that this promises cures to the terminally ill. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1b853cddddb18e833cbd032ca?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1b853cddddb18e833cbd032ca&content_type=post&f=dr) Anshul Kundaje's fight with the AI-for-biology scene is about integrity, not about whether the field can matter. He says he is not calling every founder a grifter, but that the field is enriched with overhyped capabilities, and that integrity is badly lacking. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1b85078da243697b1d891fdf1?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1b85078da243697b1d891fdf1&content_type=post&f=dr) Guillaume Verdon amplified Jeff Tang's prediction that OpenAI and Anthropic ship AI doctors within two years, at 99 percent odds, on the stated ground that AI already integrates with Apple Health, Function, and Epic.

Knowledge delivery, on this view, moves to personalized AI tutors, and the classroom keeps what machines cannot do.

A day with coding agents is already management — choosing tasks, writing instructions, delegating, following up, judging what can ship — and that skill, not prompt craft, is what he thinks extracts the value.

Hours of search and formatting used to feel like evidence of serious thought, while the idea itself went unexamined.

[details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bd02544c02e48856343d2985?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bd02544c02e48856343d2985&content_type=post&f=dr) Axios published Huang's internal letter to staff about his affair, his most direct statement on the scandal.

Hashim argues the alleged months-long relationship would violate Nvidia's conflict-of-interest policy and questions whether it was disclosed. That is commentary, not a board finding.

After an update, ChatGPT is said to be unable to act inside Unreal Engine because of an elevated sandbox mode: write permission is not enough, and it asks for more than before, while Claude is unaffected. A Pro subscriber paying £200 a month reports every conversation stuck on "Could not load this ChatGPT conversation."

A naive read of the empirical 80% point is about 15 minutes, doubling every 585 days; the 50% horizon is about 10 hours, doubling every 68 days. The headline figure on the same thread keeps the 80% horizon near 15 minutes but puts doubling at about 86 days. Set against talk of recursive self-improvement, the research-automation report still shows an 80% horizon of about 15 minutes on the lab's own R&D work. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bd337fc2f909bf23391ca762?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bd337fc2f909bf23391ca762&content_type=post&f=dr)[details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bd33bcf2cceb072598c359ea?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bd33bcf2cceb072598c359ea&content_type=post&f=dr)[details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bd2acc71b0d913d4daf354de?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bd2acc71b0d913d4daf354de&content_type=post&f=dr) A Weibull fit, using hazard-rate work from Gus Hamilton and Toby Ord, has horizons at every success threshold doubling every 58 to 87 days. The 25% horizon in that fit is about 78 hours. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bd33968304599aed90e3dd84?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bd33968304599aed90e3dd84&content_type=post&f=dr) He asks why the internal series is so much faster than METR's public measurements, which doubled about every 4 to 7 months before they stopped, against roughly every 2 months internally. Kwa's cross-domain note sharpens the question: on MATH, GPQA, Tesla FSD, OSWorld, and other sets, the level of the horizon differs, but doubling stays in that same 4-to-7-month band. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bd33adb74421447265e94056?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bd33adb74421447265e94056&content_type=post&f=dr)[details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bd33b28fd630e0e0d8b281b5?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bd33b28fd630e0e0d8b281b5&content_type=post&f=dr) The ratio is off as well. In METR data the 50% horizon is about 4 times the 80% horizon. In the internal series the 80% horizon is about 15 times shorter than the 50% one, and Weibull fits put the H80/H50 ratio between 2.7% and 8.7%. He also puts the internal p50/p80 ratio at about four times METR's, and says he is unsure how to read the gap.

Alongside that, users disagree about whether Opus 5.5 got worse, and several internal model names are still only third-party claims.

Rasmic says a GTA-style scene he once built in two prompts is now out of reach. ryunuck's unverified guess is quantization in the Q4/Q5/Q8 style, followed by reinforcement learning aimed at benchmark scores. Against that, vib3coded spent $5.03 on a jelly sperm-whale animation and says the stretch and roll still match earlier runs. On MaxxBench, Opus 5.5 scores 76.4 percent on DeepSWE and 74.2 percent after an estimated benchmaxxing slice is removed.

Export notes on H200 sales, a TSMC denial, and separate research items ran in parallel.

That figure is a betting snapshot tied to the investigation post, not a company statement.

That prediction conflicts with the claim that the board learned from the Times, and neither version is confirmed here.

The detail that is actually spelled out concerns daughter Mingshan, reportedly about 8.3 million RMB a year: pastry studies, work as a chef and at LVMH, an internship in 2020, and a senior role leading the physical AI platform. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bd0988570f2439b02775c745?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bd0988570f2439b02775c745&content_type=post&f=dr) Gary Marcus reshared The Economist's September cover, "The Sorcerer of Silicon: Jensen Huang, Nvidia and the future of AI," and noted that it was only eight weeks old.

It embeds a compiled minimal perfect hash table of 32-bit word fingerprints in the language-model files, and the title puts the list at about 100,000 phrases across 28 languages. The lookup is described for swipe typing.

An unverified private eval, not confirmed by the company, says a quiet V4 Pro change lifted the hard-task pass rate by 16 points. Local-inference notes argue over a 64GB, no-GPU claim, while other posts question benchmark feel and unofficial uncensored derivatives.

[details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bafba4a8e9846f38575e51bb?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bafba4a8e9846f38575e51bb&content_type=post&f=dr) A developer with API access describes unreleased Qwen-4-Flash as the smallest yet strongest model on GameFeel, about 35GB at Q8, while burning about four times as many reasoning tokens as other models tested. teortaxesTex speculates that a Qwen4-27B early build may be a sparse MoE. That is not an official spec. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1b8ac75890397a1662f2b5cc8?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1b8ac75890397a1662f2b5cc8&content_type=post&f=dr) The same bench reportedly added Qwen-4-Flash-Early, codename hawk, with an audio score already calculated. Alibaba has not confirmed it. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1b9cd406f70a34cb49b439698?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1b9cd406f70a34cb49b439698&content_type=post&f=dr) GameFeel Bench v1.4, on kodasdream.github.io, corrected an audio-score error on Qwen-4-27B-Early that had understated its overall. After the fix, reportedly unreleased Qwen-4-Flash-Early leads at 49.9.

Other threads ask whether a character LoRA is still needed once a reference image or a 360° turnaround is available. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bcd009040cef55977a03ae40?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bcd009040cef55977a03ae40&content_type=post&f=dr)[details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bb189b5c93554a9e57eab28c?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bb189b5c93554a9e57eab28c&content_type=post&f=dr)[details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1ba8e330ddf3b36fbb723052f?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1ba8e330ddf3b36fbb723052f&content_type=post&f=dr) #### Weights and finished clips VideoRebirthAI's hyperflow-h3-flash is trending on Hugging Face as an image-text-to-video model built on MiniMax H3. It supports text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video and audio-video generation, and the weights are published as safetensors and GGUF. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bcd009040cef55977a03ae40?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bcd009040cef55977a03ae40&content_type=post&f=dr) A Reddit user shared a full music video, "Till The End Of Time," generated with MiniMax H3. The frames show a desert canyon, a red lake and a woman in black with an electric guitar. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bd2ead4b758df0ea1b63c3a6?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bd2ead4b758df0ea1b63c3a6&content_type=post&f=dr) A separate H3 short puts a female warrior against an ogre in a torch-lit dungeon, and the post points to the lighting, textures and action continuity. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bbe5b8ac33bcca4196393214?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bbe5b8ac33bcca4196393214&content_type=post&f=dr) One creator generated an entire clip with MiniMax's video model to recreate the nostalgic, dark, rainy Liberty City from GTA III in 2001, and asked for feedback on camera angles and the edit. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bbc9ef1c6efd86955fdde147?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bbc9ef1c6efd86955fdde147&content_type=post&f=dr) Artefact_Design ran H3 at 0.9 megapixels with 7 sampling steps. The near-photoreal night street shows a couple in a red Ferrari convertible, with faces and fabric described as convincing. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1b8835886863dd4838a05e427?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1b8835886863dd4838a05e427&content_type=post&f=dr) #### Identity lock After trying single-frame edits, a Reddit user says H3 follows prompts closely and keeps a character's identity and art style from the reference images, which may make a trained character LoRA unnecessary. They still see only two remaining exceptions. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bb189b5c93554a9e57eab28c?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bb189b5c93554a9e57eab28c&content_type=post&f=dr) A separate test found that a reusable 360° rotating reference video held character consistency better than a character LoRA alone. Showing one face through the full turn is described as removing the face drift that multi-image references cause. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1ba8e330ddf3b36fbb723052f?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1ba8e330ddf3b36fbb723052f&content_type=post&f=dr) #### ComfyUI A ComfyUI workflow covers MiniMax H3 character swap and motion transfer, plus an agent skill that writes prompts and batch-runs segments. The demo runs the swap across a 64-second 1080p clip cut into 15 segments. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1b996d750efda84e286bca174?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1b996d750efda84e286bca174&content_type=post&f=dr) Another tutorial combines MiniMax H4/H3 Ripple with Pika Flex and Singularity V2, so an edit to a single frame spreads through the whole clip. The example is a robot walking on a beach. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1badfbe3691c90a6e2b7b62a3?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1badfbe3691c90a6e2b7b62a3&content_type=post&f=dr) A dark-fantasy series creator used MiniMax H3 in ComfyUI, with FL2VA frame guides, to repair an axe-versus-mace fight. Most of the editing sat on the few frames where the weapons meet. For the floor parry around 0:16, the original contact frames were kept. [details](https://agihunt.info/en/p/1a1bbe4efdb1b36070bccf29c7d?campaign_id=daily-2026-11-09&content_id=1a1bbe4efdb1b36070bccf29c7d&content_type=post&f=dr) Redditor CCS ran an 8-second MiniMax H3 shot through RelayVSR at 2× in ComfyUI, then a DLSS 5 finishing pass, lifting 960×544 to a 1920×1088 master. Both versions are SDR, and the upscale is described as keeping more chainmail detail in motion.
