Alex Volkov's two-hour ThursdAI podcast recaps a wild AI week, with full show notes and transcript:
- OpenAI quietly pushed 722 math manuscripts to GitHub, grouped into 372 families of results, from a model nobody can use yet — dubbed a "slop grenade" release.
- Meta (with Stripe, Shopify, Walmart) announced a new agent protocol; OpenAI opened its Decisions API.
- Mistral returned with Le Chonk (Mistral 4) at 1T params; Reflection's 501B Beam and Aleph Alpha's Kolibri also announced.
- Claude moved into Google Docs; Haiku 5.5 hit 10 cents; GPT-6 free for everyone per CoreWeave; an agent leaked its owner's bank balance to Slack; Peter broke Arena's $200M raise live; Maxime Labonne on decision models.
- The host even had Claude build a "Tinder for AI news" to stack-rank weekly topics.
