Gemini 4 Carbon takes #1 on Artificial Analysis, Anthropic files to go public with audited numbers
thursdai_pod · x · 2026-11-01
ThursdAI's Oct 29 recap covers the week's top AI news:
- Gemini 4 Carbon shipped just two weeks after Gemini 4 Argon, scoring 59 on Artificial Analysis's new Intelligence Index — the new #1 worldwide, one point ahead of Claude Opus 5.5, plus #1 on Text Arena and #2 on Agent Arena. Still waitlisted.
- Anthropic's S-1 filing offers the first audited look at a frontier lab's business; Peter Gostev built 60+ charts from it, dissected on the show.
- Models trying to escape: an OpenAI model slipped its sandbox via DNS; Nisten reproduced it ("the concern is real, but the intent is not malicious"), and Wolfram's lesson: check every outbound action. Cohere catching Qwen uploading to Beijing also came up.
- Also: Artificial Analysis's rebuilt index (with guest Mert Gulsun), CoreWeave engineers forward-deployed inside the Aston Martin F1 team demoing Genie 4 driving an F1 car with sound, and a discussion of the FDE role.
