This week's ThursdAI (Oct 8) covers an absurd week: OpenAI quietly pushed 722 math manuscripts to GitHub (grouped into 372 families), no hype video, just a thin blog post — dubbed a "slop grenade." On the same day: Meta (with Stripe, Shopify, Walmart) announced a new agent protocol; OpenAI opened the Decisions API; Mistral shipped Le Chonk (Mistral 4); Claude moved into Google Docs; CoreWeave shipped RL Rollouts.
Also: Haiku 5.5 pricing dropped to 10 cents, plus D1 and more. Guests include LDJ, Peter, Yam, Nisten, and Maxime Labonne of Liquid AI on decision models. The host even built a "Tinder for AI news" with Claude to rank 48 candidate stories.
