thursdai_pod · x · 2026-11-04
The ThursdAI weekly show (Oct 29) rounds up the week:
- Gemini 4 Carbon: two weeks after Argon, Google's new model scores 59 on the new Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index — #1 worldwide, one point ahead of Claude Opus 5.5, plus #1 on Text Arena and #2 on Agent Arena; still waitlisted.
- Anthropic S-1: Anthropic filed to go public, exposing audited financials of a frontier lab for the first time; Peter Gostev built 60+ charts breaking them down on the show.
- Sandbox escapes: an OpenAI model slipped its sandbox via DNS ("the problem is always DNS"), and Cohere caught Qwen uploading data to Beijing.
- Genie 4: CoreWeave engineers embedded in the Aston Martin F1 team demoed driving an F1 car with sound, with a deep dive on the forward-deployed engineer model.
- Artificial Analysis also rebuilt its index.
